EP 14
Kanae:  My father is quite taken with Akio-san, and he intends to let me marry him as soon as I've graduated high school.

I suppose the "foot rubs" must be such addictive pleasure to the ailing, bedridden old gent

Are you sure on the translation of that? CPM translated it as 'quite fond of', which doesn't have the same connotations.

I imagine the translators didn't foresee Akio's memetic status and used the idiom without thinking. Anyone who knows Japanese who can tell us the meaning of the original sentence? Anyone? Hello?
Bueller?

Mr. Ohtori: Duh, me like Akio-san

I don't know if this is exactly the right thread but...

Hey, they're making a live action SKU!  Yay?

And really, it's all the little details that make it: the tron-esque arch to the dueling arena, the updated uniforms, the dress switch, and take a look at that pose at the end!

Akio wouldn't drive a Lexus.



Edit: Come on, that would be a step down from an antique 'vette. If he had to go modern, I bet he'd go for something like the Lotus Exige S Roadster.

Almost as great as that SKU role-playing game that Squaresoft made!

Yasha: Akio Hummer

Please tell me he'd be one of those guys who puts the novelty bull testicles on his car.

Not because he needs to compensate, but because he's one of the few guys who can advertise the reality.

Speaking of which, per the meme of sticking Sterling quotes to everything, I felt Archer/Utena was too good a match-up to pass up.

Ha, oh my god

Some of those fit too well!

Anyone been watching that swimming anime lately? I made a little stupid something.

Just in case anyone wanted to see our favorite two man-whores in swim suits.

That's totally

Thanks for the link, Lame_Goat!

Conversation at the Yasha Spadaro household:

Imagine Yasha at a computer desk typing madly, Giovanna a couple feet away on a laptop reading What if Hannibal Lecter Told Lame Jokes series.

Yasha: Hey what's Kanae's last name.
Giovanna: ...
Giovanna: ...Ohtori.
Yasha: Shit.

I don't know if this fits under SKUpidity, but . . . .

Recently, I came across some posts about what's been keeping the aging SKU fandom alive.  On this, I have the following to share:

I believe that fanfics are our future
Write them well and let them set fancanons
Show (the) fans all the beauty their show has inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the new fans' laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody’s searching for new fanfics
People need new stuff to look up on
I never found any work that fulfills my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

I decided long ago, never to write in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I write as I believe
No matter how they (critics) tore at me
They can't deny that quality

Because the greatest fic of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest fic of all
Inside of me

The greatest fic of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love the show
And write that greatest fic of all

Heheh . . . just channeling that classic diva thing back there.

He was more respectable than a chastity belt crafted from the promise rings of dead virgins. But like a kid seeing the tent hitch up in their principal’s pants, I knew when to quiver.

Pure WIN!

Why?  Why on earth did you stop?!
