IT HAPPENS.

So much for getting backlogs again, but bah, what the heck. We’re already halfway through the Strike Witches series anyways, so I think this is where we go smooth cruisin’…
Or so I think…
In Soviet Russia, Sanya is your God.
I didn’t expect Sanya V. Litvyak’s story out so soon. More like I prefer shy personas introduced last than introduced somewhere else. Eila Ilmatar Jutilainen was an added value service for the episode as well.
The episode starts at night, which is obvious since we’re talking about Sanya here. It seems that the various governments and unions are trying to temper the squadron down with more policies and budget cuts and all that stupid rules and laws and shit. That’s predictable. Any nation wouldn’t want another nation to get so powerful enough even at this point in time. This proves that they’re trying to level each nation down into equal terms, at least until they finish this Neuroi gig. After that, well, it’s about time they whack each other’s brains out… AGAIN.
To ask for Strike Witch yurisex: Stick a tongue out. If they answer with their own, then you’re on.
NO! DON’T DO IT! DON’T GET NEAR THAT… THAT THING! YOU’LL ONLY GET YOURSELF KILLED! IT’S A TRAP IN EVERY WAY!
Yes! Technosoft’s back, bitches! The classic Thunder Force series now gets its sixth sequel after such a long hiatus composed of scattered fanshit and eons and millenia of withdrawal seizures. No, it’s for real this time around, so calm down for fuck’s sake. It’s not even under the codename Broken Thunder so stop thinking about that shit game. The only things good in that one were the ship designs and the OP movie, nothing else.
But really, Technosoft, WHAT TOOK YOU SO DAMN FUCKING LONG?!
The game is to be released in Japan this coming October 30th, with PS2 as the console of choice. Pretty good choice considering it’s still better compared to the now humbled down PS3. Besides, I think they’re been trying to work this out in secret, which took them long enough maybe because of lack of funds.
Also, the game’s surprisingly at a whole new scale. Talk about multidimensional scenarios, new weapons, new looks, and new bosses! Nah, it’s actually the same kind of still uber kewl shit, really, as what you can expect of Tehcnosoft. The only things that did change are:
Justice for the word.
In response to a space bunny’s failpost (really, you lost me dude), I think it’s about time we clear things up according to more than just looking at the letters.
“Otakuism”. You know the word. And if you do, you know what you can call yourself. But hey, it’s more than what the perception of the word is. The word “Otaku” was first used to denote family, or house. However, further implications of the word were changed according to the people not only in the anime or manga business, but to ordinary people as well.
First would have been the lolicon community. Note the word. “Lolicon”. Who guessed this would pop up as soon as Macross came up? Add in some serial killers hell-bent for lolis, more Macross, MORE MACROSS, MORE FUCKING MACROSS, then some Gundam, and a horde of creative people who want to gratify their pitiful selves by using a term that generalizes them, and there you have it.
Sure, you’ll see a lot of anime and manga references thrown in there. But no, it still doesn’t justify calling someone who loves the stuff as an otaku. Maybe it was because of the repetitive usage and implcation. Maybe it was because the word inclined into something sort of an indoor hobby (though that’s a big shitty lie). Maybe because of Macross, and lolis, which amazingly go hand in hand on the latest season. All I know is that we need to give the moonpeople some credit for the word. Now a lot of retards call themselves by the namesake.
How does one label a person an otaku? Anime? Manga? Yeah, right. Those kind of people might’ve experienced some kind of jet lag since they’re living in some kind of screwed eon or something. True it may have been largely related to the anime and manga industry, but that’s not the case anymore. Any frequent obsession over something, anime, manga, or no, can be distinguished as an otaku nowadays. Geek over houses and architecture? You’re a house otaku. Ga-ga over figurines and nendroids? You’re a figumate otaku. Now, see the whole picture?
Unfortunately, some people still defend the term according to its most famous meaning, and the most likely of them are the people outside the moonland: the west, and some from the east. Since the rave of the word they already went out branding their stupid selves based on what’s the most typical meaning there is. I can’t argue. Moonpeople don’t, because they still see people who take anime and manga as a hobby as otakus in general. That’s that, and knowing the the word’s nature, it’s hard to reverse the meaning that’s so strongly etched to it.
I’m no exception to this ruling either, even though I don’t really brand myself as an otaku. It’s just that it’s going to be the most likely term they’d call me when they see how I do things. But I don’t care, really. It’s just the matter of perception, and that’s how this word goes in MY dictionary.
You know reverse psychology. It always get to stab your conscience in the back, and have sex with you in the front. Sucks for curiosity, no?
I got lazy so hard I lost half my lifebar. So much for not having an entry for yesterday? Maybe, maybe no. I just don’t feel like moving for a day, so I was forced to return inanimate for at least a few hours.
Anyways, we move on to the fifth ep of Strike Bitc-I mean, Strike Witches, where we now focus on the speed maniac under the name of Charlotte Yeager. With the rank of lieutenant and a passion for acceleration, she’s the healthy AMERIKKAN chock full of BEWBS. Oh geez, are we going to talk about another F-cupper?!
Also, Minafuji loves BEWBS. She’s starting to amuse me.
NICE ONE.
The episode starts with the whole squad deciding to go to the beach, partly for training, but most for amusement. Well, that’s at least for the majority of the group. Yoshika and Lynne have to start survival training, which includes underwater training with their Striker Units on. Survival procedures after a shootdown, or probably trying to use the units as underwater propellers? Seems like predictable shitdrills to me.
Of course, some parts of the ep also focus on the fanservice. Swimsuit fanservice. It’s like they’re fucking mocking us to go to the beach at this season. That aside, the “Moe Swimsuit Episode Witch” award would have to go to Erika Hartmann, who cutely dog-paddles her way to enjoyment while she slowly wades into the territory of one of my personal moe sanctions.
Seriously, everything else can just get the fuck off puppy-waddling Witch.

Another backlog sketch I found to update the Gallery. This is actually unedited raw material for one of my previously planned skits for Another Dream (that is still under debatable development if it’s going to pull off or no). Also, a lot of people said that the limbs were kinda… off… Prolly because I was trying a new approach on drawing semantics that time.
GARgatroid, and I’m still too lazy to even do something about this…
I’ll get back on track on my sketches after I finish Another Dream issue 4, I promise! JUST LEFT ME FINISH THIS!!!
Then again, to whom am I bitching this?
No anime, no games. Just the same good old stuff in new packaging, and nothing else. And dear, do we know who the culprit is…
Welcome, moontards, to my very special portion about the elaborations of the connections pertaining to the entirety of TYPE-MOON’s so-called “Nasuverse”. Not like it’s anything big, but since I’m a lunatic myself, I’d figure I’d gatecrash into another one’s material and see what I can do since I’m still so far as to creating such big doujin or novel shit. And since I’m at the good mood about finally watching Kara no Kyokai’s third movie, why not start it with that?
Prepare for epic tl;dr battle.
Let’s start off with the characters. Main protagonist-antagonist, Ryogi Shiki. She was born in the rich family of the Ryogis, bent under the sole supervision of her father. Pretty much the same as Tohno Shiki if you look at it from the start. Only difference is, Ryogi is pure blood, while Tohno came from an enemy family of the clan, the Nanayas. Both got powers after they got into a life-threatening situation, Ryogi being involved in a car accident, Tohno being involved with the clan’s true heir of a son, which resulted of him being “involved” in a car accident. If you think about it, they also underwent Inversion Impulse, wherein they were devoid of any conscience and just followed what their mind or instincts started to tell them. Ryogi inverted due to the clashing of her egos, with the male and female trying to overpower each other till they merged as one cold-blooded killer, the similar yet opposite of the two personalities warring inside her. If compared, Tohno’s case was far too simplified: He inverted to his instincts and his bloodline. His hidden, second personality known as Nanaya Shiki awakened when she first knew of Arcueid Brunestud’s scent. Nanayas are demon-killers, and when there’s an anomaly in the world , they act upon what their blood tells them. Then again, isn’t that what the opposite personality is? The ugly facade of the harmless, unsullied persona that they are trying so hard to hide? That simply means Ryogi and Tohno are the same even though the means may be different.
Second similarity of the two Shikis: The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Both have the ability to see lines and points to which they could perpetrate the end and death of things by means of cutting the said lines and points. Cut a line, a part where the line runs is cut. Stab a point, the entire existence from where the point is designated is destroyed. Nobody’s an exception, not even a god or an immortal. However, the difference in experience of use have garnered a great gap between the two Shikis. Ryogi was able to escalate the properties of her eyes to the extent that she was able to see and kill spirits, powers, and even things without form. She doesn’t suffer headaches like Tohno did. Tohno, on the other hand, had the ability to kill the properties of a certain realm or world, and can also kill an ego by means of ending not the physical material that binds the soul, but the soul itself, as to when he killed Roa from himself on one of Tsukihime’s routes.
