Disappointing…
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Apparently the reason Kanokon got pulled from online distribution was the content of Ep. 7, not 8. I suspected as much when I realized that the timing was wrong for the online companies to have seen 8 and yanked it, but right for them to run from the backlash caused by 7. Early reports are that Ep. 8 was fairly tame… for this show. ![]()

Saturday, May 24th, 2008Bandai Visual gives up; liquidated and combined with Bandai Entertainment.
Good, now maybe there will be no more of that $40 per episode bullshit.
Oh. My. Gawd.
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008There’s only one way to describe Kanokon after episode 7: Forget ecchi, it’s soft-core porn. What the HELL happened to the broadcast standards? (Not that I’m objecting…)
Remember Kamen no Maid Guy’s opening episode, with Naeka’s bare breasts in the shower scene? Well, you can forget it now. We can honestly say that Chizuru’s are bigger and bouncier. And have heart shaped aureole(s? ae?). Very NSFW and it only gets worse below the fold. Not all of it is under spoiler tags either. Show ▼
I’m not bitter… (updated)
Friday, May 16th, 2008Sigh. Over the last two weeks, I’ve spent nearly $200 to get a computer operational. It was rebooting randomly, and possibly spontaneously turning on. I really figured the regular user was forgetting to set the blank to “Shut Down” rather than “Restart.” Thought the motherboard was bad because a couple of capacitors were popped out on the top when they should have been flat. Problem is, the board was so old I would have to replace the CPU and RAM too, and I couldn’t use the video card any longer (AGP slot). So I got a MB with a built-in video, and a CPU bundled with it, ordered a fan/heatsink to go on it, and 2 sticks of memory. One was actually bundled with it, but there had been reports that some were bad, and it wasn’t the kind I wanted anyway.
Assembled the computer. Only real problem at this stage was the heatsink and fan. I really didn’t like the way it attached, but it seemed to be staying in place. Finished hooking everything up, keeping the old HD and CD-ROM, and it still didn’t work. Same issue as before, but add in a lot of other things not working right. Then it stopped working at all; it wouldn’t even power up. So I figured, damn, the power supply was the real problem. Ordered a new one. Installed it yesterday, and it didn’t work either! In fact, the computer constantly did the same exact thing as before; random reboots. If fact once it booted itself up, without me touching it. WTF????? I was grouchy, tired, pissed off, and ready to break things. And because of that, I didn’t click to the obvious answer.

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008Forgive me, but I just figured out why Kamen no Maid Guy is so damn funny. I mean, come on: “Maid Guy.” I should have seen it a mile off.
KnMG isn’t a comedy in the combat maid/butler genre; it’s a parody of the whole concept. So far, we’ve got a maid guy, a combat maid who doubles as the maid guy trainer, and two ninja maids, one of whom is the elder twin sister of the first.
No, that wasn’t a mistake. “Just how old do you think your twin sister is??”
Parody, and I didn’t even realize it. Just FYI, in the post I keep tinkering with and never finishing, I compare the four fanservice shows this spring, and KnMG is the clear winner.
Most Importantly….
