On the 10th day of Christmas, my anime gave to me…

10 Loli Cheerleaders.

From chocolate cornets to pretty much anything you can think of, Lucky Star has been one of the most enjoyable series this year for me. There are just so many “omg that’s so like me!” moments while many other jokes goes by unnoticed to the untrained eye otaku.

3 of my favourite moments in Lucky Star are when Konata cosplayed as Haruhi (and Aya kept switching back and forth between Konata mode and Haruhi mode), when Kanata paid a visit as a spirit and the finale with the entire cast doing the full Motteke! Sailor Fuku cheerleading sequence.

And here’s the clip for the cheerleading dance sequence of Motteke! Sailor Fuku 😀

On the 9th day of Christmas, my anime gave to me…

9 Screaming Ladies.

As the saying goes, “a picture scream is worth a thousand words”.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is seriously one of the biggest surprise of the year. The character design is ugly, the artwork is mostly horrible, and everything about this series feels like it was on a tight budget. But damn it’s hilarious.

The story and plot can be pretty random at times, often throwing common sense out the window for some laughs. But the main idea is rather consistent throughout the series as the boys tries to turn Sunako into a proper lady. Most of the fun is how Sunako’s screams and how well she can make others, even those who are close to her, screaming in fear.

But Sunako doesn’t only possess the scream factor, she also has the cool factor, often wowing everyone when they least expected it. She is an expert of pulling cool stunts out of thin air, two of her best being full military uniform Sunako with her chainsaw and samurai Sunako. Not to mention the ping-pong battle and the sports day in school.

Actually… I have a confession to make. The reason why Sunako is featured today is because she threatened me earlier with that huge DEATH chainsaw. I would never… uh… no, Sunako, put that thing away… NuuU!!!!!

“Die!!!”

Have you seen what these guys have been up to!? Oh, the horror! Nah, just kidding 😉

Thought I’d try something a little different. Okay, I admit, I might have been slightly influenced by DS 😛 And yeah, it really did took me 8 hours in case you’re wondering after you’re done reading.

If you have absolutely no idea what’s the heck this “12 Days of Christmas” deal is, head back to Day 1: A Chiaki-sama hanging in the air to find out what this is all about.

On the 8th day of Christmas, my anime gave to me…

8 Hours in Shock…

Dear Princess Euphemia Li Britannia,

Thank you for wasting away 8 hours of my life. Because of the unthinkable thing which you did, I was left in shock for approximately 8 hours. Unable to think or do anything properly, with my mind blanked out and my hands shaking, I had to hide myself under the blanket in the corner of my room.

My thought process, as I’ve mentioned earlier, became slightly unstable and was full of negative thoughts in a loop that never ends along the lines of “Ah… The world is full of despair…”, “Code Geass… It will only end with even more sorrow” and “There is no hope for anyone anymore…”

Yes, it is you who had destroyed everything. The hope that Lelouch and Suzaku would band together against a common evil, the idea that Gawain and Lancelot would once again combine strength against the final enemy, the anticipation that has been built up throughout the entire time… torn, slashed, and burnt into nothingness within seconds and minutes.

Why!? Why did you do such a thing!?

Do not think of blaming it on the Geass. It was you who forced Lelouch to do what he did, even if he had done it accidentally in the end. If you had just kept your big mouth shut, none of it would have happened. Even after the Geass was used, you showed signs of resistance, but you decided that it was much easier to let go and allow the Geass to take over.

Oh, the horror you have caused! Things could have gone right, you had managed to convinced Lelouch to join forces with you, but you just had to spoil it all.

I still shudder whenever I recall that moment. What have we all done to deserve this, especially from you, one who many have dubbed, the Lacus clone. No, you were far from being anywhere near the most powerful of all Pink Princesses. Even Meer had done better, she had sacrificed herself in order to protect others, even if she was part of the cause.

But you, dear Euphie, were different. You did not want to leave alone. So you took out thousands of innocent lives before you finally went down and in the process, tainted Lelouch and his friendship with Suzaku.

You have destroyed Code Geass.

Yet, you have also immortalized yourself along with Code Geass to make it one of the most memorable scenes ever not only for this year, but in the entire history of anime.

Code Geass and (unfortunately) your blood-stained hands will never be forgotten, and fans throughout the world would be waiting for its continuation in spring next year.

Yours traumatized,

Nekonron a.k.a. Neko Kyou

On the 7th day of Christmas, my anime gave to me…

7 Haro PLANTs (highlighted in circles in case you can’t see all 7 😛 )

With 4 episodes under its belt, Tanekyara Gekijo (or Mini Seed and Mini Destiny as I call them), it should be considered a series on its own within Cosmic Era. This is obviously fanservice especially in episode 1 with the gang abusing the power of Seed to the maximum. Personally, I think Lacus has the most powerful Seed of all. She can even control Kira with it… no wonder she’s dubbed Lacus “Darth” Clyne.

Hmm… Is it just me or does this stick Rey produced and proudly called “Gil Edition Time Slip Stick” look a heck lot like Sakura’s (CCS) star wand? The colour and the wings are quite matching with a miniature Dullindal replacing the star crest.

Sunrise really stereotyped each of the characters according to how fans normally sees them. Kira is portrayed as a happy-go-lucky person who cries easily (and quite often) and Athrun is seen as the dependable friend. This holds true in Seed, but I’m not quite sure in Destiny lol. Still, I’m glad they followed what fans thought from Seed.

While the Seed abuse are just too damn accurate of a representation of each how they made use of their Seed in battle, the episode itself is nothing much compared to Dullindal Destiny 1.

The Chibi Destiny Bunch…

Super Tori is… scary…

“Mommy Athrun… Shinn broke Super Tori…”

And they all live happily ever after…

Noticed how there are more and more screenshots as the days goes by? 😀

On the 6th day of Christmas, my anime gave to me…

6 Scary Crazy Masters (and a pair of boobies for fun).

There are plenty of memorable scenes in History’s Strongest Disciple, Kenichi, but the best is without a doubt in episode 49 (and I’m sure many will agree with me on this one) where Kenichi finally made good use of all his training with the different masters.

His previous combination of different martial arts along with his original 5-in-1 no-rhythm punch was awesome, but having Kenichi mimicking all his masters down to their personalities is just pure win.

I’ve watched that scene dozens of times and still have yet to get bored with it. It’s easily the most memorable in the entire series, one that really gave out the vibe of the strongest disciple in history. Sure, his strongest moment was during the final moments of the battle against Odin in the last episode, but that was nowhere as cool and awesome.

I actually wonder if its at all possible to mix and match different martial arts like Kenichi does. It’s probably possible to learn different styles and switch during combat, but combining everything in a single move is probably impossible. The manga has gone much farther into the story and with any luck, we’ll get to see a new season of Kenichi.

Watching Kenichi kinda made me regret wasting my time back when I was learning Wushu back in high school. After becoming a yellow belt, I got lazy and started to skip training sessions and never bothered to go for tests/exams or whatever you call it (since I’ve forgotten the proper term) to upgrade my rank even though I probably should have been a blue belt. But one good thing that came out of being lazy was that I decided to quit and joined the Red Crescent instead and that was loads of fun as well.

“Apachai dash! Be prepared to go to hell!”

“IIAAA!!!11!!@!!one11!!!1111!”
