\nTriela | Gunslinger Girls – Il Teatrino | Enlarge<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
Oh man, my left eye is feeling much better, but I’m still feeling a bit worn down {sigh}. If you’ve been following my daily updates below, you know what I mean. And fast-forwarding with Daylight Saving Time doesn’t help, lol. But no worries. The show must go on! This week, we punch through a new batch of fiery female-slinging anime dramas, a coincidentally-named Mimi-friendly appearance, even more coincidental foosball-flinging ninja angles, some flame-throwing loli-against-loli anti-Mimi anger, as well as a touch of triangular blog-enhancing shenanigans! What? Only 30 images? Damn, this is gonna be a pretty tiny mega-post, haha. But who cares? Just let our five-piece predicament flow through your optic nerves and penetrate your otaku-enhanced brain. Ready? Okay, 3, 2, 1, let’s go…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Part 1 of 5. Anime Watching Update.<\/b><\/i> Damn, it’s been over a month since my last anime-watching update<\/a> in January! To rectify the brutal situation, here are my latest anime speed-reviews. Four more anime titles-seasons watched and completed since then, for a total of 9 this year.<\/p>\n Vampire Knight – Guilty [6].<\/a> My 6th anime title-or-season of the year. Second season, 13 episodes. Ehh, not bad, but kinda slow-moving in its over-dramatized soap-opera introspection amongst all the characters, both vampire and human. Adequate 3 of 5 stars. Here are a couple of dramatic wallpapers.<\/p>\n Yuki in one of her many vulnerable moments.<\/p>\n Yuki lying gently beside Kaname.<\/p>\n Martian Successor Nadesico [7].<\/a> Inspired by Lene-chan<\/a>‘s review post, this is my 7th anime title-or-season of the year. First season, 26 episodes. Once again, not bad, as a multi-textured but more-humorous clone of \u201cEvangelion\u201d. Solid 4 of 5 stars! Here are three amusing wallpapers, lol.<\/p>\n The eccentric crew of the space battleship Nadesico.<\/p>\n The blue-haired Captain Yurika and the child genius Ruri.<\/p>\n Ruri in one of her rare nekomimi (cat-eared) modes, lol.<\/p>\n Gunslinger Girl – Il Teatrino [8].<\/a> My 8th anime title-or-season of the year. Second season, 13 episodes. Entertaining drama but ultimately not-as-satisfying as the original girls-with-guns season. Decent 3 of 5 stars. Featuring the blonde twin-tailed assassin Triela, here are four beautifully-understated wallpapers.<\/p>\n Triela thoughtfully gazes into the necklace of her nemesis Pinocchio (in the background).<\/p>\n Little Henrietta fidgets beside the bear-loving Triela. <\/p>\n Triela poses with her favorite toys, both furry and deadly, lol.<\/p>\n Triela relaxes with her fellow assassins, Henrietta and Rico. <\/p>\n Sol Bianca – Legacy [9].<\/a> My 9th anime title-or-season of the year. Sequel season, 6 episodes. Ehh, not too bad. While the first 3 episodes sucked, the last 3 finally improved in its emotion and drama. Inconsistent 3 of 5 stars. Here are two hard-to-find images, lol.<\/p>\n Ah, the awe-inspiring Sol Bianca!<\/p>\n And the all-female pirate crew of the Sol Bianca.<\/p>\n That’s about it! So, at a rate of 9 titles or seasons for the first 10 weeks, I’m currently on pace to hit 45 titles or seasons by the end of the year. Not bad! Haha, maybe I should *cheat* a little by stocking up on quicker two-hour anime films! Nahhh, maybe not, lol. I’ll just whatever I see, whenever I see it, however I see it. Sound good?<\/p>\n Part 2 of 5. The Gunslinger & Mimi.<\/b><\/i> Hehe, oh yeah, speaking of “Gunslinger Girl – Il Teatrino” and Triela, when I stumbled upon Episode 10, I burst into surprised laughter no less than two times! LOL, the first time appeared when Triela began talking to Maria, a girl she would be protecting.<\/p>\n And Maria asked Triela to call her “Mimi”, lol. Instantly, I thought of Angry Mimi<\/a> and laughed in surprise, hahaha.<\/p>\n Coincidence? Oddly, I could almost sense a similarity between the two Mimis. I wonder if the writers…<\/p>\n Nahhh, it couldn’t be. Could it?<\/p>\n Haha, later in the episode, they played some chess.<\/p>\n Hahaha, isn’t this a perfectly Angry Mimi reaction?<\/p>\n Pretty hilarious, if you ask me! LOL!<\/p>\n My second burst into laughter appeared when they introduced the foosball table! Yup, foosball! Also known as table soccer or kicker, lol. I mean, if you remember my foosball antics<\/a> last month, you know what I mean!<\/p>\n Yet another awesome coincidence, lol.<\/p>\n And here’s yet another competitive Mimi-esque moment. Finding a way to beat her opponent, hehe.<\/p>\n Haha, yeah, that was pretty funny. And if you didn’t already figure it out, this was favorite episode of the series. Double coincidence with Mimi and foosball. Can’t get any better than that, lol. Can it?<\/p>\n Part 3 of 5. Angles of a Foosball Ninja.<\/b><\/i> The Ninja Legend grows! Speaking of foosball and kicker and table soccer, here’s a bit of an update since my foosball antics<\/a> last month. Couple weeks ago, back on February 26th, my team earned its first win (best of three games, 5-2 and 5-1) in the Foosball Tournament. Well, during this past week, on March 3rd, my team earned its second win (5-0 and 5-0). Nice! But that’s not the funny thing, lol. Over the past few weeks, it seems my “Ninja” reputation has spread throughout the office to a point where even employees I rarely talk to, already know my foosball abilities! Too funny!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the guys who regularly play, my overall speed and left-handed power are what seems to separate me from the rest. I also have a few trademark moves, lol. Like my “payback” move, where I instantly smash a goalie’s kick back into his own goal! I agree, lol. In fact, some of them have already begun to pick up that move, lol. Another move is my ability to score from my left-hand’s five-man offense. Hehe, yeah, I already mentioned that in my previous post. But some have actually wondered if I was left-handed! For those who haven’t seen my previous foosball post, here’s a shot of the office foosball table.<\/p>\n Yup, so the Ninja Legend grows. Sadly, beyond the core addicts, the rest of the office employees are still too slow or too busy to move the tournament along. Oh well, lol. It’s understandable. That’s more fun for us! Which reminds me, check out this *sick* kicker table I found on the nets! Skinnier but twice the length of a normal table! Four players on each side! Sick!<\/p>\n Okay, enough about foosball, lol.<\/p>\n Part 4 of 5. Melancholy of an Angry Loli.<\/b><\/i> Speaking of Mimi-chan<\/a>, it’s always disappointing when “Anonymous” commenters still find time to ruin Mimi-chan’s cheerful posts with their fruitless poison. Namely, raining on her milestone announcement of her blog exceeding 100,000 hits<\/a>. Why would anyone take the time to create misery? Who knows? Here’s a screencap of the post.<\/p>\n Next, here’s a screencap and spotlight on the “Anonymous” comment.<\/p>\n While I definitely understand Mimi-chan’s reaction, I also don’t think it’s worth her time to repeatedly react to the poison. My advice would be to acknowledge it quietly then thank the person for visiting. Nothing more. And leave it at that. Without wasting precious time and energy on a worthless provocation. Because everyone else can see right through it and defend Mimi-chan! Right? Don’t let it push your buttons so easily, hehe.<\/p>\n Part 5 of 5. Triangles & Tribulations.<\/b><\/i> Damn, part five already? Yeah, I guess so, lol. Well, triggered by various Mimi-powered rants, as well as the findings from my previous mega-post<\/a>, I finally decided to exchange blog feeds with the infamously-ecchi otaku blog, Sankaku Complex<\/a> (Triangle Complex). Yup, finally, lol. First, here’s a screencap of my own blog.<\/p>\n Next, several screen-heights down, here’s my stylish insertion of Sankaku’s blog feed into the center column. Based on Sankaku’s images, I designed the 210×210 square image myself, hehe. Nice, eh?<\/p>\n Finally, here’s a screencap of the “Feed Exchange” page on Sankaku Complex. Pretty cool.<\/p>\n In fact, since installing Sankaku’s blog feed a few days ago, I’ve already seen several visits on my blog coming from Sankaku’s blog! Now that’s pretty damn fast! Hmmm, I guess this “feed exchange” stuff really works, lol. Unfortunately, Mimi-chan seems to have made quite a few “Anonymous” enemies there too {sigh}. Oh well, what can we do? The nature of the internets.<\/p>\n Whew! A few hours later, and I’m finally done! Although, my left eye is starting to twitch a bit again. Argh. But I hope you enjoyed our five-piece batch of fiery female-slinging anime dramas, a coincidentally-named Mimi-friendly appearance, even more coincidental foosball-flinging ninja angles, some flame-throwing loli-against-loli anti-Mimi anger, as well as a touch of triangular blog-enhancing shenanigans! Thank you, Triela, Yuki, Ruri, Mimi, and once again, Triela! And I hope this tinier-than-usual mega-post has penetrated and permeated your otaku-poisoned personality, haha. Just kidding, otaku-purified not otaku-poisoned! In any case, my Trusty Toyboxers, stay outta trouble, okay? Meanwhile, I hope I can finish a new piece of “Momo” fanart for Mimi-chan, lol. Peace. Out.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Triela | Gunslinger Girls – Il Teatrino | Enlarge Oh man, my left eye is feeling much better, but I’m still feeling a bit worn down {sigh}.
