"[name of niche genre] [insert dumb gimmick here] please buy our merchandise, signed [insert studio name here]." Literally all 'moe' has ever been. The worst offenders are fucking K-On! and every other "Look at kids in a club doing something in school" show. I'm not even sure about Robotics;Notes right now because of that shit.

Hey, there isn't nothing wrong with K-On. It's funny. Music is pretty catchy too.

It's just the "Kids in a club doing this thing, please buy our merchandise" shit going around Japan lately that I've taken a lot of notice of. It's annoying. I don't think Kazuya Nomura is that kind of director, though.

moe isn't an archtype or genre
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

I felt so overjoyed today...I felt so nostalgic of California. In Mexico City a coyote from the surrounding countryside walked around, it sniffed me and I fed it. Marvelous little creatures, quite submissive when they're alone. The little thing got the sandwich and scurried away with it in it's mouth. My my, I miss the Californian desert...

There are too much nekomimi and usagimimi, we need more coyotes.

The mangaka considers that non-canon iirc.

Very specific.

I watched like two episodes of that just to pass some time and get some quick lulz.

Batou likes to watch people pee.

Ahem...and on another topic. I watched El gato con botas/Nagagutsu o Haita Neko (1969) something my father watched when he was a child. The theme song is stuck in my mind.

I think Rin from Katawa Shoujo might have Asperger's or something.

Still adorable, though.

Her storyline was really aggravating for me.

I guess the moral of her story is, "Don't date artists"

I'm currently on Lilly, but I haven't played in a while. Perhaps I should play some more?
