Welcome back, folks, friends, and fellow Toyboxers! Are we there yet? Is it time for another weekly mega-odyssey into medieval mayhem? Of course, why else would we be here? This week, our mega-cast catapults us into the far-reaching heights of the blogging otakusphere, ricochets through the wildfiery depths of the watchful anti-hero underground, and crash-lands into a rowdy crowd of indie-film partiers. Yeah, just another normal week, lol. What else is new? So sit back, relax, crack open a can, and let our broadcast take control&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Part 1 of 5 > Moe, Otaku Outlook &#038; Featured Posts of the Week<\/h2>\n<p><i><b>Otaku Outlook.<\/b><\/i> Moe! Otaku! Posts! First of all, let&#8217;s start the show with our latest look at the otaku blogosphere. If you&#8217;ve been following the &#8220;otaku blog battles&#8221; for the last few months, you should be somewhat familiar with the general trends flowing since April&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/04\/20\/blog-198-bloggers-battles-supercops\/\">Supercops<\/a> (Blog 198, Part 1) to May&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/05\/18\/blog-202-tales-origins-you-people\/\">Tales<\/a> (Blog 202, Parts 1-2) to June&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/06\/21\/blog-207-angels-badasses-cyborgs\/\">Angels<\/a> (Blog 207, Part 7) mega-cast. Consequently, here&#8217;s the latest &#8220;otakuspheric&#8221; batch of estimated theoretical values, according to <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.websiteoutlook.com\">Website Outlook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As you can easily see in the first chart, &#8220;Sankaku Complex&#8221; yet again continues to mega-shred the otakusphere while &#8220;Danny Choo&#8221; continues to float weightlessly in a pilot-less Gundam, lol. Feel free to enlarge the chart. While it&#8217;s taking longer than anticipated, my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/05\/18\/blog-202-tales-origins-you-people\/\">Tales<\/a> (May 2009) question still remains: <i>Will \u201cSankaku Complex\u201d finally double the theoretical value of \u201cDanny Choo\u201d?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_websiteoutlook_graph_0001_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_websiteoutlook_graph_0001_450.jpg?w=545\" alt=\"Website Outlook\" title=\"Website Outlook\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<em>18 July | Website Outlook \u2013 Blog Worth Over Time | Enlarge 800px<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Okay, as always, let\u2019s omit the \u201cSankaku Complex\u201d and \u201cDanny Choo\u201d paths to get a closer view of the smaller mortal blogs. Again, feel free to enlarge. Luckily, it looks like almost all of the otaku blogs across-the-board have either stayed level or rose in value. Yup, I think we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief, lol. Based on these specific trajectories, the overall otakusphere seems to be generally stable, if not healthy. Congratulations! With special congrats to &#8220;Happy Soda&#8221; who still manages to reign the theoretical $10K-to-20K range!<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_websiteoutlook_graph_0002_750.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_websiteoutlook_graph_0002_450.jpg?w=545\" alt=\"Website Outlook\" title=\"Website Outlook\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<em>18 July | Website Outlook \u2013 Blog Worth Over Time | Enlarge 800px<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Ah, now let\u2019s focus on the theoretical $0K-to-3K range.

So who&#8217;s our theoretical $0K-to-3K winner this month? Well, if we can trust Website Outlook, our winner is: <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/thecococafe.wordpress.com\/\">Coco-chan<\/a>!

Now from our general otaku outlook, let&#8217;s leap to &#8220;moe&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i><b>Japanese Moe.<\/b><\/i> Moe! Otaku! Posts! Second of all, what does the Japanese term <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moe_(slang)\">moe<\/a> mean? Here&#8217;s one definition according to Wikipedia.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moe_(slang)\">Moe<\/a> (\/mo.e\/, pronounced &#8220;mo-eh&#8221; literally &#8220;budding&#8221;, as with a plant) is a Japanese slang word originally referring to a strong interest in particular types of character in video games or anime and manga. For example, <i>meganekko-moe<\/i>, &#8220;glasses-girl <i>moe<\/i>&#8220;, describes a person who is attracted to fictional characters with eyeglasses. <i>&#8220;Moe!&#8221;<\/i> is also used within anime fandom as an interjection referring to a character the speaker considers to be a <i>moekko<\/i>. It is even used in some anime, such as <i>Ouran High School Host Club<\/i>, <i>Ai Kora<\/i>, <i>Lucky Star<\/i>, <i>Kaichou-wa Maid-sama!<\/i>, and <i>K-On!<\/i>. There are various interpretations of what <i>moe<\/i> is today. Joseph L. Dela Pena argues that <i>moe<\/i> is a pure, protective feeling towards a character.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hmm, what does the term mean to me? To me, to restate the above definition in my own words, &#8220;moe&#8221; can be likened to the word &#8220;cute&#8221;, especially as it applies to cute girls. But perhaps a fonder, more emotional or more protective form of &#8220;cute&#8221;. Something like that, lol. So why am I bringing up the term &#8220;moe&#8221;? Well, we&#8217;ll see in the following featured posts of the week!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i><b>Featured Otaku.<\/b><\/i> Moe! Otaku! Posts!

Here&#8217;s my latest batch of &#8220;Featured Otaku&#8221; since April&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/04\/20\/blog-198-bloggers-battles-supercops\/\">Supercops<\/a> (Blog 198, Part 4), May&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/05\/12\/blog-201-red-cliffs-redheads-ragers\/\">Redheads<\/a> (Blog 201, Part 1) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/05\/25\/blog-203-succubi-samurai-sci-fi\/\">Succubi<\/a> (Blog 203, Part 2), and June&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/06\/02\/blog-204-sankaku-shikaku-otakulypse\/\">Shikaku<\/a> (Blog 204, Part 1).<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s begin with Otaku Dan&#8217;s post &#8220;<a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/otakudan.com\/2009\/07\/anime-that-defines-decade.html\">The Anime That Defines The Decade<\/a>&#8221; (14 July 2009).<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_feature_otaku_dan_0001_2200.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_feature_otaku_dan_0001_900.jpg?w=545\" alt=\"Otaku Dan\" title=\"Otaku Dan\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<em>14 July | Otaku Dan &#8211; The Anime That Defines The Decade | Enlarge 2200px<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p>So what was Otaku Dan&#8217;s ultimate choice? Sadly, he chose &#8220;Gurren Lagann&#8221; (5 of 5 stars), lol. Not that it&#8217;s a bad anime. In fact, it&#8217;s a great one. But it&#8217;s not quite one that &#8220;defined the decade&#8221;. Inevitably, alternative choices flooded the scene. Here&#8217;s a couple by the notoriously <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.angrymimi.com\">Angry Mimi-chan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/otakudan.com\/2009\/07\/anime-that-defines-decade.html#jsid-1247558324-10\">Mimi<\/a>: It definitely has to be &#8220;Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu&#8221;. Haruhi changed the anime world so much, in so many ways. Haruhi was the first to start the online (and everywhere else) dance trend, which now continues on in other anime. She brought tsundere to a different level, and started a religion.  <\/p>\n<p>My runner up would be &#8220;Code Geass&#8221;, which brought Nietzsche and every other type of philosophy into an anime that had sex-appeal, mecha, comedy, and strategy. CLAMP = geniuses.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Angry Mimi-chan&#8217;s choices of &#8220;Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2007\/08\/13\/blog-103-from-melancholy-until-death\/\">4 of 5 stars<\/a> max for a short season) and &#8220;Code Geass&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2008\/09\/29\/blog-167-code-geass-dark-knight\/\">5 of 5 stars<\/a>) are both outstanding contenders, I have to disagree. I mean, &#8220;outstanding&#8221; isn&#8217;t necessary the same as &#8220;defining&#8221;. Although &#8220;Haruhi&#8221; undeniably comes close! Alas, here&#8217;s my choice.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/otakudan.com\/2009\/07\/anime-that-defines-decade.html#jsid-1247688989-10\">xJAYMANx<\/a>: @Densha-Dan: Great question. Although I think you missed the mark. &#8220;Gundam&#8221; is obviously a contender alongside &#8220;Mazinger&#8221; for the 70&#8217;s. But clearly, mecha ruled. Next, while the film &#8220;Akira&#8221; definitely caught American audiences, can&#8217;t forget the &#8220;Robotech&#8221; series for that same reason in the 80&#8217;s. Ah, then the 90&#8217;s saw the likes of Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell), Hideaki Anno (Evangelion), and Hayao Miyazaki (Nausicaa), so any of their masterpieces could qualify, lol. At this point, it wasn&#8217;t simply mecha anymore, lol. But for the 00&#8217;s? That&#8217;s pretty tough. Was there truly a masterpiece?  <\/p>\n<p>Well, if a studio ruled above all else, it would probably be Kyoto Animation. Not only with their &#8220;Haruhi&#8221;, &#8220;Lucky Star&#8221;, &#8220;Air&#8221; and &#8220;Kanon&#8221; hits, but probably their flagship series &#8220;Clannad&#8221; as well. Not mecha at all! But rather, based on a dating-sim visual novel. And if any genre defined the 00&#8217;s, it wasn&#8217;t mecha-related. Alas, if the growth of &#8220;Sankaku Complex&#8221; is any indication, it would probably be related to moe, an eroge, or a dating-sim, wouldn&#8217;t it? In that light, &#8220;Clannad&#8221; takes the title of &#8220;Anime That Defined the Decade&#8221;. A decade of moe, eroge and girls-girls-girls, lol. So far.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what do you think?

Will you collect responses before approving them? Or will you let other commenters see previous guesses? Whoa, I gotta admit, when I heard the 2nd half of this &#8220;mystery piece&#8221;, certain themes felt like Liszt&#8217;s Hungarian Rhapsody #2! Very similar!<\/p>\n<p>So based on my limited knowledge, I&#8217;ll guess Liszt.

But it\u2019s a pretty winding and amusing story. The 1st seed was back in January when you were trying out for the YouTube Symphony Orchestra. I mean, I played some piano as a teen. But somehow I found myself analyzing your \u201cWaldstein\u201d piece, lol. The 2nd seed was probably in April. I don\u2019t know how, whether it was random YouTube searches, or if you mentioned Liszt in your blog posts, but something made me add \u201cHungary Rhapsody #2\u2033 to my Pandora.com Radio Stations on April 7th, haha. Shortly thereafter, I watched the YouTube Symphony Orchestra performed on April 15-16th. Then the following week, you mentioned Liszt in your April 22nd post \u201cWhy why why do you blog?\u201d. So it\u2019s possible that you might\u2019ve mentioned Liszt earlier, between January and April. In any case, it stuck in my brain that he was one of your favorite composers, lol. But here\u2019s the funny thing, when I heard \u201cHungary Rhapsody #2\u2033 again, it was something I already recognized as a kid! One of those old Looney Tune cartoons with Bugs Bunny or Tom &#038; Jerry where the occasional story revolved around classical music. But I never knew what it was called or who composed it. I mean, I haven\u2019t listened to classical music in years. At least, not regularly, not since college. Until earlier this year, lol\u2026 In other words, if you had never tried out for the YouTube Orchestra, I never would\u2019ve guessed who wrote this \u201cmystery piece\u201d. Hahaha, such a strange world.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then finally, in Angry Mimi-chan&#8217;s next-day post &#8220;<a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.angrymimi.com\/2009\/07\/all-your-mudkips-are-belong-to-me-a-mudkip-miracle\/\">All Your Mudkips Are Belong To Me!

Franz Liszt\u2019s Hungarian Fantasy (or Fantasy on Hungarian Themes) is actually based on a Hungarian Rhapsody. :\u2019O!! So there you go. Congrats you two! ^__^<\/p>\n<p>P.P.S.

A couple months ago, on August 26th, 2007, an email subscription sent me an eye-popping <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wizarduniverse.com\/movies\/other\/005712235.cfm\">article<\/a> on the &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; movie coming in 2009!

Not only that, but the symbolism &#8212; especially of the watch &#8212; within the comic and how frames seemed to meld from one to the next definitely made an impression on me. I think this was the first time I was exposed to such darkness in comics, manga or anime. And coming in 2009, I new &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; CG film will hope to live up to the highest expectations!&#8230; Below, here are 6 photos of the old <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Watchmen\">&#8220;Watchmen&#8221; comic<\/a> I&#8217;ve kept since high-school&#8230;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Awesome, huh?

Haha, whether you do or don&#8217;t, we&#8217;re not done with the &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; world just yet! In fact, on Tuesday, 14 July 2009, just a couple days after watching the film, <a target=\"new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.jusuchin85.com\">J85-man<\/a> left a couple of &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; comments on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/07\/06\/blog-209-keion-krypton-destruction\/\">Keion<\/a> (Blog 209) mega-cast, mentioning the &#8220;Black Freighter&#8221; as follows.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/07\/06\/blog-209-keion-krypton-destruction\/#comment-2478\">Jusuchin85<\/a>: @ Jayman: Well, it does follow the graphic novel intensely (minus The Black Freighter story; that was released on BR and DVD days after the premiere). The only difference is the ending. So, apart from that (despite the ending), it really did stick to its customary conspiracy theories. Really a sight to watch!<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/07\/06\/blog-209-keion-krypton-destruction\/#comment-2488\">Jusuchin85<\/a>: @ Jayman: The film covered every arc perfectly. I think the same way as you. When I watched the movie, I realised that some aspects have to be adjusted to cater for the modern logical sense. Then again, they should make the whole destruction much more\u2026futile. I remember reading the graphic novel, and upon reaching the end, I was having the \u201cOh shi\u2026 That is UBER destruction on a wide scale!\u201d expression. Yeah, they should have done that. But nothing\u2019s perfect, right? It\u2019s still impressive in my books!<\/p>\n<p>Have you watched \u201cThe Black Freighter\u201d already?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, after reading his comments, I downloaded and watched the \u201cTales of the Black Freighter\u201d that same night, haha. While the animated feature can never be as impressive as the film, it&#8217;s still a grotesquely mesmerizing tale, and a revealing backdrop for the &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; universe, earning a twisted 3 of 5 stars. To celebrate, here are a few snapshots from the feature.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I haven&#8217;t forgotten my fake captions, lol.<\/p>\n<p><div align=\"center\"><a target=\"new\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_watchmen_tales_black_freighter_0001_2200.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.xjaymanx.com\/xjaymanx_2007\/Images-toybox-2009\/xjaymanx_0211_watchmen_tales_black_freighter_0001_600.jpg?w=545\" alt=\"Watchmen - Tales of the Black Freighter (Feature, 2009)\" title=\"Watchmen - Tales of the Black Freighter (Feature, 2009)\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Watchmen &#8211; Tales of the Black Freighter (Feature, 2009) | Enlarge 2200px<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Tales?

It was HORRID, but I saw it. I was in agony the entire time though. Gerard Butler should never EVER sing EVER again. The girl (Emmy Rossum) wasn\u2019t impressive either. Actually, Butler should just stay out of movies (and theatre) all together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xjaymanx.com\/toyboxx\/2009\/06\/21\/blog-207-angels-badasses-cyborgs\/#comment-2345\">Kris<\/a>: Anyway, I was not entertained by the Phantom film. The singing was atrocious. Some of the set designs were absurd. They threw out Maria Bjornson\u2019s gorgeous and brilliant costume designs from the Masquerade scene and replaced them with these horridly bland gold and white messes. And Butler\u2019s makeup design was pathetic (too concerned with him still being \u201cpretty\u201d I guess). I spent the entire film rolling my eyes and shouting at the TV in anger.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, Kris-chan, you didn&#8217;t have to hold back, did you?

But afterward, Logan and I rocked out for the next 10-to-12 tracks, including songs by Blink-182, Flyleaf, Garbage, Nirvana and The Police. Although Logan took the microphone, it didn&#8217;t stop me from singing along too! In fact, if I had worn a headset-mic, I might&#8217;ve beat the vocals-plus-guitar for a few of those tracks. After an hour or hour-and-a-half, my throat felt raw! And at 12:30am, I finally hugged and waved my good-byes, lol.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Damn, yet again, that was fast and furious!
