rayyhum777: check out Seikon no Quasar

sarethiii: gainax is doing a show about kindergarten?

rayyhum777: oh that.
rayyhum777: yeah.
rayyhum777: I haven’t read the manga.
rayyhum777: it’s about little kids, really little kids…and it creeps me out.
rayyhum777: there is a reason I didn’t mention it.
rayyhum777: because I fear this may be moe to the degree of pure pukeage.

sarethiii: hah. ic

rayyhum777: i’m watching Seikon no Quasar.

sarethiii: and so will Mike (my friend, the Queens Blade fanboy), I’m sure

rayyhum777: tell Mike #2 about this show – it’s about big breasted girls and alchemists (men AND women) drawing power from breast milk!!!
rayyhum777: That one is going to be faps heard around the world!

sarethiii: actually he said in his tweet
sarethiii: “Chu-bra” and “Sora Wo Noto” are interesting to him
sarethiii: but I’m sure once I mention the QB comparison he’ll be all over it

rayyhum777: ah. Chu-bra.
rayyhum777: that’s a show about designing underwear for high school girls.

sarethiii: yeah the plotline was…ehhhh?
sarethiii: I wonder if Katanagatari will be any good

sarethiii: it’s not done by Shaft, unlike Bakemonogatari
sarethiii: and it seemed to me that the Shinbo style was integral to Bakemonogatari

rayyhum777: this one has nothing to do with Bakemonogatari!
rayyhum777: oh the novel was written by the same guy.
rayyhum777: so?
rayyhum777: the story and animation is very kiddish.

sarethiii: a very “flat” style of animation there I see
sarethiii: and apparently it’s an ova.

rayyhum777: I’m also watching Vampire in the Dance Bund.
rayyhum777: I’m sorry but the power of the powerful Vampire loli side is too strong for me! XD
rayyhum777: I must be getting really old!

sarethiii: oh finally, a show about vicious vampires!
sarethiii: the whole vampire thing has been so corrupted lately by Twilight…

rayyhum777: yeah, well, still a loli with throng and no bra.

sarethiii: vampires and werewolves…
sarethiii: and, I see, this is a Shaft production as well.
sarethiii: They must be very busy up there.

rayyhum777: yer damned right.
rayyhum777: I already have the shows that I will be watching – both with sexual images!
rayyhum777: Seikon no Quasar and Dance in the Vampire Bund.
rayyhum777: or is it Vampire in the Dance bund???
rayyhum777: Or it is Al Bundy becoming Vampire?

sarethiii: ahahaha
sarethiii: everything can be improved
sarethiii: if you just make the main characters vampires or zombies
sarethiii: there’s even Jane Austen parodies
sarethiii: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

rayyhum777: wow…

sarethiii: it’s a best seller. It’s going to be a movie.
sarethiii: The opening line is a killer
sarethiii: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.”

rayyhum777: seriously?

sarethiii: yes, seriously.
sarethiii: There’s even a follow up.
sarethiii: Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters

rayyhum777: there is Higashi no Eden’s movie coming.

sarethiii: that’s right, it was delayed considerably.

rayyhum777: yep.
rayyhum777: it’s so easy for those guys to get voters.
rayyhum777: I just voted.
rayyhum777: not even sure why.

sarethiii: vote for what?

rayyhum777: this site’s poll on the winter show.

sarethiii: ah

rayyhum777: there is Durararararararara.

sarethiii: that looks like a very stylish show
sarethiii: it’s from the creator of Baccano
sarethiii: a show that many people have told me is excellent.
sarethiii: I couldn’t follow the first ep very well

rayyhum777: hey, I got an idea, why not just post our conversation about this preview just now as an article?
rayyhum777: that’s our winter preview article!
rayyhum777: post this as a humor article.

sarethiii: hmm
sarethiii: sure
sarethiii: though I wonder how many of the in-jokes to leave in
sarethiii: like the references to my roommate

rayyhum777: everything.
rayyhum777: (even what I just typed.)
rayyhum777: SEX! and loli violence! SEX! and breast Milk!
