I suppose I should post something this month, if only to give the search engine robots something new to index. So, some short miscellaneous topics for the voracious Mythical Readers to gnaw upon. After the break…

Happy Birthday Azusa Nakano
I suppose that if I continued with my tradition of birthday wishes for all of the main characters of the K-On! anime, that this post would be topped with the animated gif of Azusa with the flashing star over her eye, that I’ve done for the others thus far. The rest of the post would be filled with other animated gifs of Azusa.
None of that is going to happen, I’m afraid.
Love… exciting and new….
This is a love letter.
To an anime character.
I know, I know… this is why all the Readers here are strictly Mythical. Even if someone did stumble into this dusty dead-end on the internet, the previous two sentences will have made them desperately stab at the back button, if not the off button itself.
That’s all good and fine; I’m well used to talking to myself. Seeing as how no one else listens anyway.
So I shall carry on.
Happy Birthday Ritsu Tainaka
Today, August 21, is the birthday of the most famous drummer in anime, Ritsu Tainaka, from K-On!
Well, most famous as far as I’m concerned. I might be biased.
Poor Ritsu deserves far better an entry than what I’m going to deliver here. Frankly, it’s the middle of the week and I’m exhausted. A couple of quick anigifs is all I can manage right now.
Happy Birthday Tsumugi Kotobuki
Today, July 2, is the birthday of the fictional character Tsumugi Kotobuki, from the world-renowned and universally acclaimed anime (and manga) series, K-On!
Why am I making mention of a fictional birthday of a fictional character?
Why the hell not?
Besides, Mugi (her nickname) is my favorite character, in one of my favorite shows. So I made some animated gifs of her. (after the break, to spare anyone who’s not interested in seeing them)
Fighting evil by moonlight
After leaving anime behind shortly after the Dirty Pair days, I didn’t think too much about it. It was easy to not think about, after all; there was almost no way to run across any anime unless you were out there looking for it. And I was not.
I was driving somewhere in my car listening to the radio, sometime in late 1998 it must have been, when the barenaked ladies song One Week came on. I hadn’t heard it before, but they were a band I liked, so I paid attention to it.
Of course, the one line in there grabbed my attention: “gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon ’cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babies that make me think the wrong thing“.
Anime? A pop song is singing about anime?
Bonus
I was lucky enough to get the K-On History’s Music Box poster that was the limited bonus for the box. Behold, more bad photography:
bonus poster
I suppose eventually my entire living space will be covered by anime posters, the majority of which will be K-On. That may or may not be a bad thing, but it probably is a mad thing. At least it’s a quiet madness.
I do have to get a better camera at some point, thought. I’m glad no one is actually reading this.
