News that aren't news

[taotrooper]

1. Can you name the Animes by Opening? Got 87/101.


2. Holy shit, Adidas talaria!! To which I say:
   a) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
   b) Someone in this company is a huge Greek mythology geek!
   c) H-how much is it and does it come in more colors?
   d) Did someone send this to Rick Riordan?
   e) Meanwhile, Zelda fans are all "OMG Pegasus Boots!" but those were based on talaria so.
   f) I wonder if Nike would do winged shoes, too. That would be so meta.


3. There's a Japanese date for Okamiden now, and their website now looks like one. There's this project thing I don't what's about, but there's new merch such as a fucking giant Chibiterasu plushie. Fuck you guys, where's my medium-sized Amaterasu plushie? Also, who are those girls below? Are they game characters or some sort of mascots? Because the outfit of the one on the left is worrying me.


4. Oh right, TotA manga 22. YOU SCARED ME FOR A WHILE WITH THE SRS BSNS, YOU BASTARDS. Even the official mangaka can't manage to have Peony that OOC for such a long time unless it's the gaiden, ugh. *sigh* Thank god he was okay, not TnJ!awesome but okay. The highlights: cute Noelle is cute, Guy in a corner shipping Ion/Anise. The WTFs: Luke actually being cheerful because Peony praised him, while Ion was having an angsty self esteem crisis (it's like opposite replica day, what the hell!)

you got 68 out of 101 Animes by Opening.


guess you pwned me :)

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

In my flist there was someone who got 91, so XD Not that impressive anymore.

[solesakuma]

Me too. The newer ones stumped me. I got all the first ones, up to One Piece XD

[etrangere.livejournal.com]

there's a couple of shows I knew but couldn't come up with the name on the spot, and old ones I only knew the title in French.

OTOH there's a lot of stuff I guessed without ever watching, because they're famous.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I haven't watched even half of those. I just recognized the series from the vid.

[hamsterfactor.livejournal.com]

Bah, I only got 83 D: Some things I couldn't write (that Powerpuff thing and the Seagulls series or whatever), I can't tell Air/Clannad/Kanon/ef apart and thus I don't know any of them lol... and for some reason I couldn't recognise Ayashi no Ceres (and I've seen it lol).

FAIL.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I googled the ones I had no idea how they were spelled, including the Mahou Shoujo Powerpuff Z thing. *cheeeeeater*

Meh, I can't tell apart the Key moeblob shit ever. I just entered Air + Kanon + Clannad since there were like four of them, they all got in, that's it XD But yeah, the test was very failtastic.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I kind of love those shoues. I mean, they're ridiculous, but they're awesome.

... and I can really see my brother wearing them. XD

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I'd buy them for the lulz if they're not too expensive, but I don't think I could wear them. It's not just the ridiculousness: I don't want to wear them out! It's like OMG I HAVE WINGED SHOES.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

A propósito, le pasé el link a mi hermano y dijo que le encantan pero la novia lo mata XD

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

LOL XD

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

I only got 71 :D

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

It's very high, if you ask me! A lot of the oldies weren't mainstream in the US that I know of, and a lot of the most recent ones are random moeblob.

[solesakuma]

La random moe blob me mato. XDDD
PEro adivine Corrector Yui y eso significa que soy badass!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Entonces todos los latinos con Cartoon Network a principio de los 2000's son badass? Yo no la veía pero lo reconocí.

[solesakuma]

Es que es de lo menos reconocidos, junto con Ayashi no Ceres, que yo no reconocí. :P

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

I did this last night and was going to post.. eh XD I only got 62 |D; But that thingy really made me want to re-watch some (if not most) of those anime aaa ;a;

....I want those shoes *______*

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I want to download some of those songs, LOL.

I WANT THEM SO MUCH XD

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

I recognized several because I had the songs even without watching the anime XD

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Pffff, some of those I recognized the character/art and I had no idea of the song, so. The complete opposite.

75 ;A;


... I-- I really need those shoes ♥♥♥

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Bastante bien :o

Me too ;;

[outou.livejournal.com]

I got 77, which is strange considering that I don't think I've watched any of those series completely. It's hard to believe that so many of my favorite shows started airing when I was around 5 or 6!

The girls are apparently called Kanagami and Yaegami, but the weird thing is that "Kana" and "Yae" are written in katakana. Who knows what's going on with them. (The mugs that have Amaterasu and Chibiterasu vanquish demons when they're filled with tea are cute, though.)

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

It's really easy to recognize series you've never even watched, to be fair, as long as you know the characters/art in the animation. I don't think I've watched half of those.

True, it's usually all katakana or all kanji -i.e, Brush Gods or characters with title/occupation instead of name. The mugs are so original, although I think there were prettier images to use for them.

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

i got 68 ;_; i really should start remembering names and not just the art.. :(

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I think it's half and half. And apparently, knowing about oldies and/or moeblob.

[paella]

I forget the score I got on that thing yesterday, but it didn't let me answer half the time - kept messing up and denying me what was correct answers. Believe me, I checked. So hnggghlskjdf idk.

And HAHAHA those shoes are hilarious. ...I almost want them.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

That happened to me with a few. Sometimes it was spacing or not having the two names registered or me typing a person's name in Japanese format when it had to be Western (dammit, Haruhi, I lost a minute in you!)

They're so past the hilarious and retro 80's and cheesy, they're back to awesome.
