BUILD UP!

So while rummaging around on Youtube, trying to find for Kotetsu Jeeg stuff (as I’m slowly but surely finding him to be my new favorite Super Robot after seeing him in action in SRW Alpha 3 vids), I found this Italian car commercial. It features a Japanese runner surprisingly named Jeeg and..um..yeah..you just have to see this.

The best back massage in the unverse and a million hot fangirls to the guy that came up with that commercial.

“My rocket punch brings all the boys to the yard..”

Friend of mine said the title and couldn’t resist using it.

Okay, you know how they do those character matchups in Anime Insider and/or Inquest (i.e it’ll be say Inu-Yasha against Ranma Saotome?)

While looking through some boxes, I found an issue of InQuest where it was the animated version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch against Harry Potter.

Sabrina won.

Now I’m not an uber fan of either one so I didn’t freak out but it was somewhat of a disturbing thought. Shortly afterwards, I remembered a matchup that I beleive was the reason I tuned out of Anime Insider in the first place; Gundam Wing Zero against Mazinger Z, the badass of all Super Robots (As proven in the 2005 Reactor Robot Rumble Panel - See Episode 10 of R5 Central).

The results: Friggin’ Gundam Wing wins it. Mainly because at the time, Wing was on Cartoon Network and thus, the matchup was rigged. Namely because of the squeeing fangirls who were writing their slash fics about Heero and Trowa and going “Eww! The animation’s icky!” when they see Mazinger Z episodes. Or at least that’s my theory.

What am I thinking? They’d probably have no idea who Mazinger Z even is.

In my mind, any mech piloted by Kouji Kabuto should win a fight automatically because that kid is crazy. For crying out loud, he took a friggin’ Kikaijuu/Mecha-Beast down using nothing more than a Jeep.

So here’s my message to the people in charge of these matchups. Pit MAZINKAISER against friggin Wing Zero and then see what happens. Because a mech that can do the following, should win automatically.

Yeah you don’t mess with that. Or this either;

Sorry, going on a Video spree, but you see my point?

Don’t diss the classics.

Evangelion Anniversary Blitz (Gone Wrong)

So according to one of my favorite blogs, JeanSnow.net, in the wake of the Neon Genesis Evangelion 10th Anniversary, new bits of merchandise have popped up.

But what could possibly top the Girl Angel figurines?

Graphic Design.

For example;

The Lillith Plate.

What the hell were they thinking? I'm not going to eat out of…

..Oh god that could be turned around SOOOOO badly.

Now this one I might actually like;

A pillow made to look like one of the Angels. If I was taken, this would cry out "Potential Present". Then again, I'd prolly just snatch it for myself cuz it's just that awesome.

Here's the full article via PingMag.

 If you'll excuse me, I'll be in the back waiting and dreading the day somebody gets the idea for Boogiepop Phantom plushes. Namely the bugs from episode 2 that represent people's suffering.

PS: I find it ironic that while writing this Evangelion-related entry, the Hostel DVD commercial with "Ode to Joy" pipes up.

Intros

Hey all, Mike here. I caved and decided to get an account after digging the Word Press interface that's being used for the new Henshin Justice site. It just sees so…spiffy.

The question remains; should I ditch the LJ community and use this for ranting or should I keep this a separae entity and keep the action going on two fronts. Hell I may even just ditch R5 Continued and do show notes in the episode entry.

…oh yeah, if you have no idea what R5 Central is, it's my tokusatsu/asian and american pop culture podcast. You can check that out here.

Wow I'm doing alot of plugging in this first entry. Better cut it short.

Take care all
