The Nutbladder Ranking: 2010-01
I always wanted to do some kind of ranking thing, because it’s fun to express what you feel about the stuff you like (ie., anime) in new ways, and ranking provides an overt framework to express yourself. It’s like a game where you roleplay some nutty critic. Unfortunately I also despise the trapping that any ranking system comes with. I always thought to myself (usually after feeling the want-of-rank) that I could just personify the anime or whatever in Pani Poni Dash (or for the newfags among us, Bakatest) with a short list of arbitrary stats. Kanokon could be something like “Breasts: 4, Trope subversion: 3, Licensed dub possibility: 2″ or something. For another example, Tsukihime anime could be “Existence: 0, Faithfulness to source: 2, Moon Princess: 4.”
Isn’t this fun? (Possibly NSFW pic after the jump.)
But that’s as gimmicky as haiku anime review or WhatISawWhatIExpectedWhatIGot. They are not really my kind of thing. So instead I’ll try to come up with something new. Perhaps another chronologically-linked, persistent feature on this blog? Well to do that, I should keep this simple.
The Nutbladder Ranking–basically, I will use it to do a top 10 list of things each month at the end of the month. It will mostly be just how much it is relevant to my interests. It’s also a template for me to do retrospection better, as I can get to a lower level towards the minutiae of the media-rich environment most of us live in.
Why Nutbladder? Because it is an moe-fied euphemism for the “bladder which holds the man essence.” In other words, it is a vague /a/ meme that nobody really cares about except in context of an anime/manga franchise. In other words, it’s like naming your blog after some concept from some anime or manga. Except more meta. And this is just a regular feature and not a blog.
10. Promise Sisters. Abunai Sisters they are not, but they are dangerous as jailbaits and U15 material. This is where I first spotted them…they’ve come a long way.
9. Either Kurumizawa’s sun-baked look with shades, or one of the many cuts of Sawako in the past 4-5 episodes of Kimi ni Todoke. Maybe one of the smiley ones.
8. Hideyoshi. I am not completely immune to traps, but they’re just not my thing. I’m more about busting my gut laughing at the gag though. Bakatest walks its paces like a funny straight man. (As in, tsukkomi.)
7. Seikon no Qwaser. Boobs. Howling at the moon. WTB high-def uncensored please, damn you AT-X.
6. K-ON OAV. This so-called Fuwa Fuwa Time really hits the spot.
5. Hidamari Sketch X*** has actually something to do with nutbladders. Also, you must enjoy the new Sakura Sakura Saku animation!
4. Celty cosplay. I mean, this is like kigurumi cosplay, but better. Irony: a headless character makes the best kigurumi cosplay!
3. Bisei Tokei. While this is an iPhone/iPod Touch app, you can also port it to the PC/Mac/Unix. I… have/had way too much fun with it, and I was just using it like a desktop gadget. Also, why am I so weak against Aipon!
2. Yamamoto-sensei’s morning show (ep 3).
1. Renai Circulation full version. Nadeko dancing optional. Moe rap is the next big thing.
P.S. When I was looking for lyrics for the full song, I came across this. And I lol’d.
>>Celty cosplay
FFFFF *sploosh*
I’m so stealing this post idea >.>
[…] Omo has always wanted to do a list like this, and so have I. I think both of us have taken our frustrations out on the What Are You Watching/Reading This Month threads on Megatokyo for long enough. If he sticks to this monthly, I’m sure I’ll manage to follow. As for what this is a list of, it’s a nuttbladder-breaker list. There’s really no way of explaining that if you don’t understand, though Omo kind of tried. This is for January 2010. […]
