Other Stuff I Watched In Autumn So Far – Part IV

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for more great posts and updates!

Shikabane Hime: Aka

It started off as an ordinary action horror anime, until after two episodes in, I realized that perhaps it might been asking a profoundly thought provoking question; If you came across a corpse that was rather fetching, would you have your way with it? ~~As long it's still warm, I say~~. New fetishes aside, the plot unfortunately has little to do with necrophilia, but rather focuses more towards necromancy, as a schoolgirl, who has a tendency to die in every episode only to be brought back in no time at all, has to go about killing the undead. There isn't much else going for it, but I was interested enough to keep going though unfortunately the series has been de-listed off the usual source because of this. I want my HQ releases and not have to pay for it!

Michiko to Hatchin

This somehow reminded me of the ill-fated El Cazador in terms of setting and characters, though sadly, the latter didn't turn out really well. Far from being awful, it's been a while since I met such a female lead as RAG as Michiko, and her encounter(reunion?) with Hatchin/Hana pretty much confirmed it, though she could have been a lot more verbally profane and wielding dual berettas, like that pirate chick from a certain show. While not the best of first episodes, there's enough here to keep you wanting to come back for more, as the two leads who couldn't be any more different in personality and appearance, which makes you wonder how their adventure together is going to turn out, which I hope is going to be something akin to Grand Theft Mexico; where Hana will look up to her Aneki as the two go around doing stuff while fending off the authorties. Raw Raw Fight The...Law! If Michiko dies midway, I'm dropping this shit faster than me sitting in the toilet with diarrhea. Then again, if she does, it would probably be an impetus for Hana to grow up.

Tytania

I was laughing throughout the entire show, though mostly for the wrong reasons. They weren't kidding when they said this was going to be a soap opera in space as it was an amalgamation of what I got from watching Children of Dune on the Hallmark channel and playing Sins of a Solar Empire, a real time strategy game, set in, you guessed it, space. People have been telling me this resembles Legend of the Galatic Heroes, a rather antiquated production which I'm not going to bother because I'm a newfag. Instead, I'm going to annoy the same bunch of people and perhaps a lot more by declaring Tytania as Code Geass. In space. The antagonists featured here a bunch of warmongering tea sippers donning rather fabulous outfits that wouldn't be out of place from Code Geass. With absolute domination over the outer frontier, the Tytanians are so fearsome that the Emperor is soiling his breeches, that poor chap. Enter the rogue commander of a small fleet, who turns out to be the only soul who dare defy these people, even winning a skirmish with some good old Keikaku Doori'ing. He's even voiced by Kamina. I'm pretty much sold! And it didn't even take the cute, trappish looking princess to reel me in, though seeing her suck on her finger was rather arousing.

Next installment, an all shoujo lineup(?!)

WEEHEEEE!!! First comment! And yes, I loath people who do this, but I decided to have some fun just this once.

” As long it’s still warm, I say.”
More disturbing TMI from shin ‘shivers’.

Anyway, of the three Michiko to Hatchin sounds the most interesting, although I’ll look back after its run and see whether Tytania is worth a watch.

Oh! I forgot to mention this, but a poll would be great for these entries, like so

Who would you go on a date with? Is it:
1. The necro-hottie
2. The gun-totin’ hottie and the loli (Me! )
3. The princess-trap…hottie

Place your order today!

Ok dude. I got no power to do this, but you can start with the Teatania Epics. Would love to see those shopped pictures and jokes in Teatania.

Tytania made me wet myself with delightful glee because it has too much epic manliness packed into 24 minutes. I concur with Panther to do Tytania jokes, post haste!

No love for Hana in Michiko to Hatchin?! That little girl deserves at least a praise for learning how to BITCHSLAP those b*tches :P Hana’s already semi-GAR at this point, and well, if Michiko dies, things can only get better.

and your “teaser” for the next installment of this is making me excited… could it be could it be?!

You being a pervert, i could handle that.

You being a lolishotacon. was a another thing that made me call the authorities.

But involving yourself in Necrophilia, you just gone too far, too far.

Don’t forget she’s also a schoolgirl and a princess! However, the moment you got close, she would recharge and come back to life, so I don’t think your plan would work.

2-dimensional pederasty is just fine, but as soon as you mention perfectly consensual sex with a willing corpse, the comments go all apeshit. WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

“If you came across a corpse that was rather fetching, would you have your way with it?”
Why waste a perfectly good body? Of course i would do it. AS long as she is still warm.

You played Sins of a Solar Empire? Awesome game indeed. And yes, Teatania is FABULOUS IN SPAAAACE and you should do a weekly sh00p of it for teh lulz.

I’m not satisfied with the two series except Michiko to Hatchin. FUNimation grabbed the crap, and also I hate this statement:

Dear People who hates us,

“Please remove this title from your English subtitled series torrent listings from your website.”

Your Friend,
FUNimation

I want some payback.

Also, I’m still kind of watching ZKC. This fall season’s alright save for clannad, ToA, Index and Kannagi.

To my defense, it doesn’t sound so bad once you take into consideration that Makina is actually already dead right from the beginning, so it’s hard to forget that sometimes. I wouldn’t usually have the desire to actual screw a corpse otherwise. If you’ve seen Maria Ozawa pr0ns, you’d know this; Having sex with a lifeless body isn’t much fun.

~~…Is what I’d like you to believe.~~

@westrim

Oh ho, I don’t really mind it, so it’s okay, since you did add on to it. As for the polls, by the time I read your comment, it was too late to implement them, so maybe I can keep it for some other time instead; like my next installment of this post.

@Panther, Yamcha

Ahahaha. Well, in all honesty, while Teatania can get cheesy, it’s hardly on par with Code Geass in terms of exploitability, though I would love too.

@usagijen

Hana’s in her early Simon stage right now(useless) so I can’t find myself rooting for her as much as Michiko, though having her beat the crap out of her step sis was fun to watch, and hot no less. And you know, for a loli, she’s got an adult’s voice, which puts a lolicon off. Yes, it’s (probably) what you think it is, though I’m struggling to make it past one of them.

@Anime Loving Republican

No laws against necrophilia here, so it’s AWWWWWWWWRIIIIIIGHT!

@Kabitzin

I thought oyou need to hug her and show her tender loving care or something? I would love her tenderly alright, but it’ll mostly involve the bottom half.

@EvilDevil

Weird, I thought I was a depraved bastard long before this?

@otou

Thank you so much for reminding me that I still need to watch my shouta yaoi hentai.

@FFVIIKnight

I’m just saying what came into everyone’s mind when they watched it?

@biankita

That dude also looks like a dork, but then so do I, so no comments. ANYWAY, I would indeed hit trap princess in all her(his?) orifices, but the men in this show are so fabulous, I didn’t even need the girls to win me over.

@Setsuna

Great minds, alike, etc. Sh00ping potential is there no doubt, but I’m not sure if it can ever match Code Geass.

@tflops

LET’S BOYCOTT THEM!

@C.I

Did you just say Kannagi sucked?

@Grimmjizzle

As EvilDevil has mentioned, it was and always has been an option.

@EvilDevil

You know me so well I wish I could go over there and give you a hug for being so understanding.

Shikabane Hime Aka is boring Shin, so don’t worry, you didn’t lose out on anything epic.
Actually I find 3/4 of an episode boring; the other 1/4 of the episode is rather touching (emo & sad moments). Hopefully the next few episodes will be more exciting or it’s gonna enter my drop list.

@Shin

I doubt there are no laws against Necrophilia in Malaysia. Even if it did, it would still be considered discreting a dead body and most Malaysian will all agree its a disgusting thing to do. If there was proof of what you were doing and the people know it, expect a Lynch mob coming your way.

Yeah well, I guess I can do without it, since there are so many other good stuff right now.

@EvilDevil

What if I mail you a picture of me instead?

@Anime Loving Republican

There’s probably an unwritten law somewhere, I guess, but I’ve yet to hear anyone being charged. People are too concerned about the impending recession to care what I do.
