Anime....

So admittedly when I was younger I really liked watching certain anime shows... Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo!, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Pokemon were really my favorites. But as I got older I really outgrew them and sort of thought of them as something geekier kids like, which I still believe for the most part to be true. Like, the slightly overweight ugly girls with really horrible eyebrows wo go to conventions dressed up in outfits they've made themselves that are too sexy for them really to be wearing...I'm judgmental, deal with it.

But my suitemate Eunsan decided to write a paper she had for Media on Sailor Moon and it really makes me want to re-watch it. That was one of my favorite TV shows when I was little, truly to the point of obsession where I would sit on the computer with my 56k modem connection and just memorize the information on every single character on the show. I even made my own shitty little website that maybe my family and five or so friends ever got to see. And I had so many dolls... I think they're still stored in a box somewhere. They didn't dub the later seasons until I was a little older, and I don't think they dubbed the last season at all because of the storyline. For the record, dubbing is basically putting another language over the original, so in this case it was turning everything into English.

Anyway, I really want to rewatch it now!! And I don't care who knows it!! Maybe it's because I'm sentimental for that part of my childhood, but beyond the shitty graphics and generic anime corniness, the storyline is actually pretty decent. Ah fuck it, I would even rewatch Tenchi Muyo! Not as many people knew about that show here, but me and some friends from camp got really into it one summer. My favorite character was Ryoko, who was obviously the bitch with huge tits and an alcohol problem. Pokemon is a little too corny for me at this time, as someone entering her young adult life...

However, this is something that ISN'T inappropriate for adulthood... I found this earlier just surfing around YouTube. From what is apparently a banned episode of Pokemon, here is a disturbing video of James from Pokemon with boobs. I shit you not, he even fondles them himself:
