Konnichiwa! Guten Tag! Buenos dias! Hello, my Tumbling Toyboxers! What would you do if you were the opposite gender for a day? Oops, wait, wrong post, lol. Nevertheless, it’s that time again. Time for yet another weekly mega-cast attack upon your otaku soul! Assuming you know what an otaku is, lol. But why wouldn’t you know? If you’re here, your otakuspheric spirit will be subject to the pitiful plunge of Pandora, the daring departure of Disney Choo, the chaotic catapults of Clubber Dan, as well as the melancholic charisma of Kyou-chan, the graceful corruption of Ciel, and the shadowy seduction of Sebastian. Don’t know whom I’m speaking of? Well, don’t worry, you will. So let our broadcast assault your shame, slice open your pride, and repair your despair. Whatever that means, lol. Now on with the show…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Part 1 of 3 > Pandora Fail, Disney Choo & Clubber Dan<\/h2>\n
Pandora Fail.<\/i><\/b> Let’s begin the mega-cast with my last look at Pandora.com, the internet-radio site. The story began more than two years ago, in May-June 2007. I discovered Pandora, and it was good. Here’s a screenshot from my ancient Blog 081 > Opening Pandora\u2019s Box<\/a> (15 June 2007).<\/p>\n Here’s the shining review I wrote.<\/p>\n \nHey, ever heard of Pandora.com<\/a>?… Just a few weeks ago, I heard about it for the first time by overhearing a co-worker. Within minutes, I visited the site and tried out the online radio. And now, a few weeks later, I can’t go online without listening to my randomized “Quick Mix” of customized artist-based stations! In fact, the first tab in my Firefox 2<\/a> browser automatically opens to Pandora! If you search for “Linkin Park”, that station will configure artists along that genre, and songs which you can individually “approve” or “decline”. I think I’ve tried another online radio in the past, but I don’t remember it, lol. The thing is: It’s hard to believe that I hardly open my Winamp MP3 player anymore!… So for those sitting at a computer all day, who are open and willing to try out new music that fits one or many artist genres, without the clunkiness of transferring MP3 files, this may be a welcome addition to your musical day! <\/p>\n P.S. If you’re interested, here’s the main page<\/a> and here’s my profile<\/a>.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yup, it was good. It was good for two years. Until a couple of weeks ago. Most probably due to a struggling economic climate, Pandora introduced a monthly limit for the first time. That’s right, a monthly limit. Just 40 hours of free listening each month. Then after 40 hours, you have to pay. True, it may not cost much, but compared to two years of zero, it’s still a lot. Ugh, reminded me of the ancient days of AOL and 40 hours of free internet per month. Oh well. Here’s what the Pandora “monthly limit” message looks like. Enlarge the screencap if necessary.<\/p>\n So can you guess what I did? Yup, on 15 July 2009, I left Pandora and switched to Last.fm<\/a>, another internet-radio site. A little bit different, but overall, nearly identical. The best thing about it? It’s free, lol. Here’s what my Last.fm page looks like. Not too bad!<\/p>\n There it is! So will Last.fm follow in the steps of Pandora.com? While it might be a tiny fee now, is there any guarantee that the fee won’t rise in the future? With this economy, who knows? But I guess we’ll see. Till then, crank up the free volume!<\/p>\n Disney Choo.<\/i><\/b> Next, let’s take a scrutinizing gaze at DannyChoo.com. While I can’t begin to imagine the high competition necessary to earn the “Best Japan Blog”, it’s also quite revealing. Is it fair to say that “Danny Choo” is no longer an anime or otaku blog, but rather, a general Japan-life blog? Has “Danny Choo” finally made its choice? Has it finally left the ecchi-paved anime-and-otaku path?<\/p>\n Hehe, if you aren’t already familiar with my complicated “Danny Choo” history, it has seen the sunny artful skies of Blog 070<\/a> (Kako & Mirai) and Blog 130<\/a> (Mirai in Battle), the ambivalent analytical comedy of Blog 153<\/a> (Deconstructing Danny) and Blog 160<\/a> (Danny Clone), as well as the eroge-layered dismay of Blog 177<\/a> (Mimi’s Zazzle), Blog 198<\/a> (Bloggers & Battles) and Blog 204<\/a> (Otakulypse). So when I see Danny tell us he’s been “cleaning up the ecchi stuff quite a bit which is why you may be stumbling across dead urls to previous ecchi content”<\/i>, it’s both disheartening and alarming. Why?<\/p>\n True, I may not be the most hardcore otaku by any means. Not at all. But from an otakuspheric perspective, doesn’t his list of high-profile corporate giants give the impression that “Disney” Choo has sold out to the corporate universe? Is that bad? Is that good? Obviously, there’s no clear answer. But by choosing the financially and commercially kid-safe path, Danny risks losing the poorer ecchi-and-eroge fan communities who supported him and his rise to fame over the years. If he hasn’t lost them already.<\/p>\n Yup, ever since his early days of pursuing the delectable Kylie Minogue and befriending her sister Danni, Danny has always seemed to gleam in the spotlight of fame. Or glimmer in the Imperial blaze-and-glory of a Stormtrooper uniform, haha. But I don’t mind that. I don’t mind his objective to “clean up the ecchi stuff” from the present day onward. From the present blog-post onward. In fact, that’s commendable. But to go back in time, rewind his blog history, and rewrite or “whitewash<\/a>” his past? Deleting old memories? Isn’t that more offensive? After all, ecchi or not, they’re not just his old comments and memories, but they’re ours as well. <\/p>\n If the definition of “otaku” is forever intertwined with “ecchi”, then it’s safe to say that Danny has finally graduated from otakudom. Not unlike Melonpan and his fake graduation<\/a>. But with a memory drill instead of a physical one. Another sign of the oncoming otakulypse<\/a>? Is Danny really being true to himself? To his ecchi self? To his eroge self? Or even his otaku self? Does the understandable corporate and family-oriented allure outweigh all this? I mean, Otaku Dan<\/a> recently told me that he had “grown out of DC”. Which fits the kid-safe concept. I guess we’ll see how Disney Choo evolves, won’t we?<\/p>\n Or we can forget everything I said, lol. Gambatte, Danny-san.<\/i><\/p>\n Clubber Dan.<\/i><\/b> Speaking of otaku, I enjoyed an intriguing chat with another prominent otaku earlier this week. Yup, Otaku Dan<\/a>. Or as I prefer to label him, “Densha Dan”, in honor of his recent romantic development. Yeah-yeah, a reference to “Densha Otoko” (Train Man), lol. Here’s a screencap of his blog.<\/p>\n Consequently, catapulting from laptops to eroge to blog hits to blog fame to Jack the Ripper, here’s our unedited otaku-to-otaku discussion on 23 July 2009, lol.<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> yo<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> hey<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> whats up?<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> replying to blog comments of course, lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> now that I have a computer again, I should start interacting with the community again<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> no worries. yeah, congrats on the new Dell<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> thank you<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> i think that’s the first time u “shouted” so loud lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> u didn’t mention transfer data from the old to the new?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> the mother board for the old one is dead xJAYMANx:<\/b> not even a backup drive? Otaku Dan:<\/b> nope, i was always saying “I will buy it later” but a cute figure or a DVD would come up ^_^;<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> as long as there wasn’t any data too important to lose<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> there was important data, my eroge<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> didn’t burn those on DVDs?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> nope. the old computer RW was not working<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> ahh<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I’m surprised it lasted that long<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> lol, when the “surprise” starts to kick in, that’s when I’d start backing things up!<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I should invest in a external HD<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> even archive DVDs will work too<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> The only thing I did lose was important was my pictures but thank goodness I uploaded them to flickr<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> true Otaku Dan:<\/b> blog pics<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> yeah, i was just replying to someone that I lost an old figure photoshoot from Oct 2007, but fortunately I did upload them for a blog post Otaku Dan:<\/b> I know<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> now it’s a new “era” then<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I know xJAYMANx:<\/b> true, does Kururu enjoy the eroge too? lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i dont know but she does like h-doujin(yaoi)<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> ahh, i think that’s pretty much the same category, tho it might depend how graphic the yaoi is<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i dont want to know<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> lol, why not, i wouldn’t mind, especially to share her perspective on it Otaku Dan:<\/b> idk xJAYMANx:<\/b> haha, u should! Otaku Dan:<\/b> like this “what are your opinions on lesbian sex?” xJAYMANx:<\/b> haha, just use the yuri term, easily to handle Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> is she the type to reply “why do you ask?”<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> not really, she is very honest<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> then should be no prob, like “i saw your yaoi, what do you think of all my yuri?”<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> assuming u can tolerate yaoi without throwing up<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> if girls don’t vomit, why should I?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I hope I dont go blind<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> nah, from a girls view, can’t be so different from girl-girl to a guy Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> ask her about that, lol Otaku Dan:<\/b> thats a good idea<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> do you know how to become the next big thing in the otaku\/anime community?<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> no, how?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i dont know, I’m asking you because you are well known and everyone likes you<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> well known?

I try to reply to everyone’s comment as best as I can, leaving out nobody… but it’s tougher if you have dozens of commenters and less time to do it<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I’m talking about daily hits<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> ahh, well, the only “stats” that amuse me are the website outlook theoretical value $s, lol… i mean hits can mean anything Otaku Dan:<\/b> no<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> that’s good<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> the thing is I dont see any change to my hit when compared to last year<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> what are your expectations? Otaku Dan:<\/b> I should have double the views but when goggle bought feed burner, it screwed it all up xJAYMANx:<\/b> are u saying u should quit feed burner? i tried it once but then quit it<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> it felt that i was starting all over<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> i just don’t see how feeds affects hits<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> ping sites<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> meaning what<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> http:\/\/pingomatic.com\/<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> maybe i should say how “changing feeds” affects hits Otaku Dan:<\/b> it send out a signal to search sites like google and yahoo that an update has been update on your site<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> but RSS readers like Google Reader already update posts without me using Pingomatic Otaku Dan:<\/b> but it does work<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> true, redundancy isn’t wrong Otaku Dan:<\/b> it helps but I dont use it anymore like I use to.<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> hmm<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i have not used it in 3 months<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> lol, so why worry about pingo Otaku Dan:<\/b> since when was a big gun<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> i think a while now<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i just work hard at what I do<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> exactly Otaku Dan:<\/b> maybe xJAYMANx:<\/b> ahh, true… though i must admit, even tho I don’t frequent DC anymore, Mimi-chan has probably helped my blog quite a lot<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> i have not visited mimi in a while<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> tough to access? Aprilius20 has mentioned that about her blog<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> and i have grown out of DC<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> i see, i don’t even visit gordon or howagirlfigures, lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> really? xJAYMANx:<\/b> i used to, but not so much, ever since I stopped collecting… and the storm trooper thing gets old, lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> am i the only person who is not predictable in the community?<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> what do you mean exactly<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> example: xJAYMANx:<\/b> ah, i see… well, that’s not “predictable” as much as “specific”, but i see what u mean Otaku Dan:<\/b> it’s not<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> so there’s two of us, lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> but there’s nothing wrong with “specific” either, certain fans love that stuff Otaku Dan:<\/b> part of me wishes to be the greatest blogger in the otaku\/anime community xJAYMANx:<\/b> that’s quite a split personality!<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> of course “greatest” is quite subjective, you mean “famous”? like DC? or notorious? like Mimi-chan?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> better than DC<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> but what do u mean “better”? in fame?<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> that part does want fame but the other side does not want that xJAYMANx:<\/b> apparently lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> I going to flip a coin to decide<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> well, one thing is common with DC, Mimi-chan, and the Toybox, even HowaGirlFigures and Gordon is that we post pics of ourselves Otaku Dan:<\/b> I want stay ingornitp xJAYMANx:<\/b> ahh, then the fame is tougher Otaku Dan:<\/b> but its a mystery and people like a good mystery xJAYMANx:<\/b> good Otaku Dan:<\/b> fame<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> too bad lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> oh well. fame, here i come<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> lol gambatte Otaku Dan:<\/b> maybe i should start stabbing some hookers then<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> O_O<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> fine, club them on the side of the head<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> then post them next to figures? Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> could work! Otaku Dan:<\/b> LULZ<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> Or “Club her, Dan!” Otaku Dan:<\/b> 2:00 am for me and my next post has not be started<\/p>\n xJAYMANx:<\/b> ah well, you always think of something… copy\/paste this chat, in fact i might… maybe, lol<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> lol xJAYMANx:<\/b> magic of editing, right? … c ya round<\/p>\n Otaku Dan:<\/b> c ya\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hahaha, a rare but revealing peek into the random minds of otakus. Well, I hope you enjoyed my leaps from Pandora Fail to Disney Choo to Clubber Dan. Because it probably won’t happen again, lol. But now, it’s time to leap into another world… and corrupt ourselves with 2 more anime series I\u2019ve managed to finish in the last 3 weeks<\/a>: \u201cClannad After Story \u2013 Another World \u2013 Kyou Chapter (2009)\u201d [29] and \u201cKuroshitsuji (Black Butler, 2008)\u201d [30]. Yup, a total of 30 completed anime titles-or-seasons so far this year!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Clannad After Story – Another World – Kyou Chapter (2009) [29].<\/a> Two weeks ago, on 12 July, I completed my 29th anime title-or-season of the year. While Anime News Network lists it as the 25th episode of “Clannad – After Story”, it also states that it is being released as an OVA. Consequently, as an OVA with an alternate storyline, I guess I’ll treat it as another title. Nevertheless, here’s my glowing speed-review. <\/p>\n Once again, the “Kyou Chapter” typifies the breathtaking sparkle and shimmer of splashing and searing emotions we’ve come to admire throughout the “Clannad” (2007) and “Clannad – After Story” (2008) series. The twin sisters Kyou and Ryou break our hearts with a maximum 4 of 5 stars for such a short OVA. Breathtaking. As potentially one of the final installments of the entire saga, let’s reminisce and celebrate with a few old stops along memory lane.<\/p>\n From my Blog 182 > Year of Anime, Rock & Otaku<\/a> (27 Dec 2008), here’s my speed-review for the first “Clannad” series.<\/p>\n April 2008<\/b><\/p>\n [13] ++++ Clannad (1-23) \u2013 Finished 04\/30. Satisfying 4 of 5 stars!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n From my Blog 168 > Crows Zero & Clannad Two<\/a> (06 Oct 2008), here’s my speed-review for the “Clannad” film.<\/p>\n Now let’s talk about the girls… Based on the Japanese visual novel, the 2007 anime film Clannad<\/a> is breath-taking! Directed by Osamu Dezaki, Clannad reveals the same stylistic elements of blinding sunlight, dramatic silhouettes, split screens, and continuous motion ~ birds, trains, bicycles ~ which permeates Air<\/a>, another equally breath-taking film he directed. Wow, a swirling tear-inducing odyssey through nightmares and dreams towards a sparkling promise of hope, 5 of 5 stars!<\/p>\n In addition to the film, the 2008 anime series Clannad After Story<\/a> continues seamlessly where the 2007 1st season of Clannad<\/a> left off. While I rated the 1st season with a “satisfying 4 of 5 stars” because I couldn’t forgive their out-of-tune opening theme (argh, cover your ears<\/a>), the 2nd season premiere is already sparkling with all the elements of 5 of 5 stars! Humor, dramatic motion, and piano-laced emotion. The opening theme is not only as inspiring and emotional as Air’s opening theme, but the singer is actually singing in tune (much better<\/a>)! Go figure! Can’t wait for the next episode! In the meantime, here are a few more Clannad wallpapers<\/a> to warm your heart. >_<\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Most recently, from my Blog 195 > Propaganda & Pop Anime<\/a> (29 Mar 2009), here’s my speed-review for the “Clannad After Story” sequel series.<\/p>\n Clannad After Story [11].<\/b><\/a> Having said that, I finally finished one of the most-perfectly-crafted \u201cpop anime\u201d series of all time. At least in my opinion, lol. The \u201cClannad\u201d and \u201cClannad After Story\u201d series! Yup, yesterday, I watched the 24th and final episode of \u201cClannad After Story\u201d, completing my 11th anime-title-or-season of the year. Here\u2019s my quick-and-easy speed-review.<\/p>\n Aww. Wow. Double-wow. Triple-wow. Such an incredibly awe-inspiring, breath-taking, heart-breaking and soul-warming ride, followed by a cute yet fateful flashback bonus-story, and concluded with a still-gripping recap finale. An ever-resounding 5 of 5 stars! My #1 anime title of the year thus far!<\/i><\/p>\n I mean, what else can I say? If you\u2019ve seen it, you definitely know what I mean, hehe. Thus, in celebration of the final conclusion of \u201cClannad\u201d and \u201cClannad After Story\u201d, here are 11 high-res wallpapers<\/a> for your otaku consumption, lol. Enjoy!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Finally, let’s celebrate with 15 shiny wallpapers of the star of “Kyou Chapter” herself. I mean, from the very first episodes of the first season, Kyou-chan was my favorite tsundere<\/i> girl in the series. Still is today, lol. So without further ado, ranging from 1600px-to-6100px resolution, here’s Kyou-chan! Fake captions anyone? <\/p>\n Kyou: “Hehehe, I’m finally buying the latest issue of Death Loli<\/i> after school!”<\/p>\n Kyou: “Dammit, someone stole my Death Loli<\/i> issue.”<\/p>\n Kyou: “Sunohara-san! Did you steal my Death Loli<\/i>?” Huge 4100px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “Sunohara-san! Did you steal my Death Loli<\/i>?” Slight color change, 1900px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “Gahhh, I need to find out who took my Death Loli<\/i>.”<\/p>\n Kyou: “Tomoyo-chan! Did you take my Death Loli<\/i>?” <\/p>\n Kyou: “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you.” <\/p>\n Kyou: “But I really need to find out what happens in the new Death Loli<\/i>.” Huge 6000px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “But I really need to find out what happens in the new Death Loli<\/i>.” Enhanced sunlight, 2600px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “Wait, Botan, you know where my Death Loli<\/i> is?” Huge 6100px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “Wait, Botan, you know where my Death Loli<\/i> is?” Brighter lighting, 1600px version.<\/p>\n Kyou: “Dammit, I’m too hungry to think right now. Itadakimasu!”<\/p>\n Kyou: “Wait, what was I looking for?”<\/p>\n Kyou: {Yawn} “Mmm, I’m too tired to remember.”<\/p>\n Kyou: {Sigh} “Hehe, it figures Tomoya-san would take my Death Loli<\/i>!”<\/p>\n Awww, such a nice ending to a fakely-captioned story, lol. Now, from a purple-haired world, it’s time to leap into a black-hearted one… <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler, 2008) [30].<\/a> Earlier this week, on 25 July, I completed my 30th anime title-or-season of the year. Original season with 24 episodes. Yup, Kris-chan<\/a>, I finally finished it, lol. I searched your blog, but couldn’t find your review. Did you write one yet? Nevertheless, here\u2019s my speed-review. <\/p>\n Despite the hype, the first half of the season felt like a watered-down cocktail of more-impressive titles like “Blood+” and “Hellsing”, with a sprinkle of “Vampire Knight”, a sparkle of “Code Geass”, and a touch of “Nana”. In fact, the titular “Kuroshitsuji” character, Sebastian felt like a recycled hybrid of Haji (from “Blood+”) and Alucard (from “Hellsing”). Meanwhile, Ciel felt like a prepubescent replica of Lelouch (from “Code Geass”). So the first half was heading towards a lackluster 2 of 5 stars. Luckily, the darker more-twisted machinations took hold and raised the unimpressive story to an overall 3 of 5 stars. Not spectacular. But respectable. <\/p>\n To celebrate, ranging from 1000px-to-6000px resolution, here are over 60 scans, vectors, wallpapers and other images to slice your soul. Let’s begin with 29 of the best “vertical” images I could find. More fake captions anyone? <\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ah, didn’t you know? I wrote the latest issue of Death Loli<\/i>.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Just $5.99 USD per issue. And comes with these lovely flowers.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “But Ciel-sama is the only Death Loli<\/i> for me.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Hehehe, see what I mean?” Ciel: “Grrr, stop it!”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “I despise this magazine. But don’t I look smashing?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Yare yare. Such inferior lighting.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Magnificent skulls. Magnificent.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “White roses? Or white carnations? Can you guess?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ghastly magazine. Can you please fit more text?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Yare yare. Time to buy a new shirt.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Good day. Care to have your temperature taken?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ah, Ciel-sama, don’t you look enchanting tonight?”<\/p>\n Ciel: “Put me down! Sebastian, put me down!”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Now why would I want to put down such an elegant creature?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “You are such an adorable Death Loli<\/i>, hahaha.” Text version.<\/p>\n Sebastian: “You are such an adorable Death Loli<\/i>, hahaha.” Huge 5700px vector version.<\/p>\n Ciel: “To be or not to be? There is only one solution.”<\/p>\n Ciel: “Shut up! Everyone, shut up!”<\/p>\n Ciel: “Beware. Beware of the violet violence.”<\/p>\n Grell: “Hehehe, don’t you love my dolls?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Stay in tune, everyone!”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Yare yare. Why couldn’t I wear the Death Loli<\/i> dress?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ciel-sama, look at the camera please.”<\/p>\n Madame Red: {Sigh} “Why is nothing ever red enough?”<\/p>\n Madame Red: {Sigh} “Why is nothing ever red enough?” Black and white version.<\/p>\n Prince Soma: “Did someone say Death Loli<\/i>?”<\/p>\n Agni: {Sigh} “No Soma-sama, I said ‘Steamed broccoli’.”<\/p>\n Lau: “Death Loli<\/i>? Do you want to borrow mine?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ciel-sama, your fetish is my command.”<\/p>\n Next, let’s continue with 36 of the best “horizontal” wallpapers I could find. Here’s a wallpaper based on the same “fetish” above.<\/p>\n An alternative background design.<\/p>\n This time, a vectored version.<\/p>\n Another inexact yet stylish interpretation.<\/p>\n Undertaker: “Ciel-chan, you’ve been a Death Loli<\/i> before, eh?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ciel-sama, I believe the Undertaker is bisexual.”<\/p>\n Ciel: “Haha, Sebastian, please. I already knew he was.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Ah, of course, you did.”<\/p>\n Ciel: “Sebastian, why does everyone think I’m a Death Loli<\/i>?” Original 3300px version.<\/p>\n Ciel: “Sebastian, why does everyone think I’m a Death Loli<\/i>?” Enhanced 2000px version.<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Good day. Beware of the violet violence.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Agni-san! Get your hands off my dessert!”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Yare yare. Why does our cosplay always turn out like this?”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “This way, Ciel-sama. Please ignore the red-headed peasant.”<\/p>\n Sebastian: “Good day. Please buy our DVD on sale.

\n I found it burnt<\/p>\n
\n external?<\/p>\n
\n you’re talking about blog pics? or just pics in general<\/p>\n
\n too bad still<\/p>\n
\n this has been a good year for me
\n so far<\/p>\n
\n does she avoid yuri then too?<\/p>\n
\n i should ask her that<\/p>\n
\n start of an interesting conversation<\/p>\n
\n lol<\/p>\n
\n *easier<\/p>\n
\n now trans sex girls with maleness, now that’s quite different<\/p>\n
\n there’s 6 days till her next post anyway<\/p>\n
\n you’ve got 2-3 times the number of regular commenters than i do<\/p>\n
\n (oops, it’s kararu not kururu, isn’t it)<\/p>\n
\n lol<\/p>\n
\n i think my “hits” dropped recently compared too, but it could mean anything from geographical school trends, etc…
\n *compared to previous months
\n are you losing the passion because u see fewer hits?<\/p>\n
\n (i don’t have many, lol)<\/p>\n
\n it was around the start of the year when my hit dropped to nothing<\/p>\n
\n so if i use this, what should happen<\/p>\n
\n seems redundant, more for company websites not blogs<\/p>\n
\n but i’ve never used it or even heard of it before… that really explains the fewer hits?<\/p>\n
\n i mean, Jusuchin85 recently commented “I don\u2019t think I can compete with the big guns like yourself, Danny, Mimi and Otaku-dan just yet. Still a long way to go!” So you’re still perceived as a “big gun”.
\n though i wouldn’t place myself in the same league as Danny<\/p>\n
\n maybe just overthinking things?<\/p>\n
\n i think that big gun are gordon, mimi, dancing queen and DC<\/p>\n
\n i thought you did<\/p>\n
\ndancing queen: figure
\ngordon: trooping<\/p>\n
\n well, in that case, the Toybox isn’t “predictable” either
\n i hope<\/p>\n
\n but for me, it can be restricting or boring perhaps after a while
\n for them, maybe not<\/p>\n
\n the other part does not care<\/p>\n
\n im a very conflicted individual<\/p>\n
\n i think putting a “face to the otaku” might be a key<\/p>\n
\n incognito*<\/p>\n
\n unless u wear a trooper mask or something lol<\/p>\n
\n I don’t do masks<\/p>\n
\n and the coin flip?<\/p>\n
\n i don’t know who the most famous “incognito” person is in history, but Jack the Ripper comes to mind, lol<\/p>\n
\n *pose<\/p>\n
\nClubber Dan<\/p>\n
\n sounds same
\n okay man 11pm, think it’s time for me to end the day<\/p>\n
\n dont make me look crazy or demented but if you do, clubber dan will get you
