sara_tanaquilMan, it is hard to keep up with this when we're having what is without doubt the most gorgeous run of weather EVER at the beach...
Day 18 - Something moe
It took me long enough to find out what moe even meant. How do I answer this question?
However, I think this is stereotypical enough to count:
Kyouya from Ouran High School Host Club (which I finally just got around to ordering from RightStuf, yay Funimation sale). Glasses on guys are just never bad. (Speaking of which, I have gotta figure out where to fit Card Captor Sakura in this meme somewhere... oh wait, I already had that planned.)
Day 19 - Mandatory swimsuit post
Because I just saw a bit of this anime on YouTube for the first time after I don't know how many years of fandom:
Surprising reflections on Urusei Yatsura:
I never bothered to seek this one out because nothing I heard about it sounded attractive. Love triangle? Two girls fighting over a guy who's a worthless lech? Excessive display of tiger skin bikinis?
The surprise discovery is that this anime is both insane and hilarious. It's pure comedy; I don't know why anyone would want to watch it as a romance or as the source of a pin-up girl (but then maybe my pin-up tastes just don't run that way). However, those for whom "This is $*&%^ insane!" is not a compliment should probably stay away.
Also, you really don't want to know what it would cost to buy the whole thing licensed on the used market (yes, I have been checking). Wonder if this will ever see a re-release?
