Mother’s Day and Fate/Zero – The Plight of Irisviel

She may not be the holy mother we thought she is, but she’s a mother nonetheless.

It’s Mother’s Day[1], a day where we pay our tributes to the mothers of the world. But instead of celebrating it by revering some of the most amazing moms in anime and manga, I chose to air my concerns for a mother that can only do so much: Fate/Zero‘s Irisviel Von Einzbern.

Footnotes

  1. It’s about to end over here, actually []

Catzooks…

I know it’s late, but I still want to post nevertheless. I’m never one to forget birthdays, waifus and hasubaandos notwithstanding.

So again, Happy Birthday Len. Enjoy the cake, whether it’s a lie or not. I know you need the greetings more than the idiot icy fairy does.

A Call For Help

By her request, I am now helping Reimu collect donations for her daily expenses the quake and tsunami victims in Japan.

Yes, yes, I know. I haven’t made my comeback post yet, and my timing could’ve been worse. But let’s put joking and excuses aside, and get into business.

Japan is currently in distress due to the earthquake and tsunami that struck the country recently last week. There has been a lot of damage to property, as well as inevitable loss of life. However, knowing that it is sometimes too late to save those struck by peril, it is never too late to save those who survived it.

Therefore, I would like you guys to consider visiting the following websites:

If you have anything to spare in your pocket or belongings, feel free to donate those, too.

Every little bit helps.

 

Merry Christmas, Everyone

Please disregard our differences in timezones. It’s better to have greeted everyone in advance than to not have greeted everyone at all. Let’s anticipate the upcoming new year in high spirits and burning hopes.

Cheers!

Comparison in OreImo: Following Genshiken’s Principles

Before you start reading this post, please let it be clear that I prefer to disregard the incestuous fanservice during the first half of the episode, because it stirs the already turbulent shitstorm that the majority of the elitist aniblogosphere caused.  I think I’ll just happily enjoy the ups and downs of the show and accept it as it is. We clear on that? Good!

We’re now at the fourth episode of OreImo, and surprisingly the show still meets a certain criteria that I had for it since the first episode. Anyone who’s keen enough to notice will know what I’m talking about, and anyone who’s already established some sort of connection, symbolism or reference will see where this post is going.

Of course, what I’m talking about is OreImo’s undying connection to Genshiken’s tenets on otakuism.

I don’t know if I should be happy or sad that I don’t see someone who looks like Madarame being carted away in a stretcher, but oh well…
