j1m0ne's blog

I was somewhat amused to see this reply to my post about the fat face issue:

Quoth Ayuri:

“As long as a seiyuu has a gorgeous voice and excellent acting skills, it doesn’t matter what he/she looks like. I don’t see anyone criticizing screen actors’ voices. If looks matter most to you, don’t be a seiyuu fan”.

Seriously? You mean people wouldn’t care if all seiyuu looked like Kusayanagi Junko?

It bores me when people act all high-and-mighty & condescending because they think they’re so more l33t than us shallow fools who only stare at people’s legs all day long.

So er… people have been posting all about Chihara Minori lately and I didn’t want to feel too left out -_-

I am rather happy to see Tomacchan’s performance as Nagi has gotten a warm reception; I do hope people will change their opinions of her that were sullied by past missteps (ToLove-Ru’s LaLa etc) but for now I’ll just remain quietly optimistic.

I’ve seen many people compare her Nagi to Koshimizu Ami’s Horo in Spice and Wolf, though Nagi’s speech pattern mostly conjures up memories of Yukana’s bratty Mashiro for me.

Hayate no Gotoku’s Nagi > Kannagi’s Nagi > My-HiME’s Nagi :3

-If Hashihime was an art critic, j1m0ne would be a trashy tabloid writer.
-If Hashihime was The Phantom of the Opera, j1m0ne would be Spamalot.
-If Hashihime was a triple Michelin-starred establishment touting French cuisine, j1m0ne would be the greasy burger stand on the corner of 6th Avenue.
-If Hashihime was Nicole Kidman, j1m0ne would be Lindsay Lohan.
-If Hashihime was a macrobiotic diet, j1m0ne would be the Atkins diet.
-If Hashihime was Vanity Fair, j1m0ne would be OK! magazine.
-If Hashihime was Gisele Bundchen, j1m0ne would be Naomi Campbell.
-If Hashihime was the Academy Awards, j1m0ne would be the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
-If Hashihime was Brazilian Pudding-flavoured Pocky (which is bloody awesome), j1m0ne would be a manky Mapo Tofu-flavoured Pretz (yes it exists)

-If Hashihime was an Aston Martin DBS, j1m0ne would be a Reliant Robin.

And I think that some of those differences are why Hashihime won the Blogger’s Choice and I the People’s Choice for the Anime Blog Awards. I believe that bloggers have more than half a brain which is why they can tell the difference between a classy blog with concise and informative analysis and a silly blog overflowing with drunken ramblings, unlike the masses who are easily fooled by fake pictures of two women kissing. And that’s why I’m a blogger!

Now that I’ve insulted the intelligence of my readers I’ll probably win nothing next year. But you know you secretly love me even if you don’t want to admit it.

I’m also starting to feel that next to “Hirano Aya”, j1m0ne is the word that crops up the most on Hashihime’s blog nowadays (≧д≦)ノ♪ “j1m0ne” came up four times on his/her most recent post ヾ( ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

Yours truly is honoured m(；∇；)m

On a separate note…

I rarely check my stats for keyword searches but I did so on a whim today and what did I see?

Google Search Keyword: “Why people hate Mizuki Nana”

My Answer: I don’t know and I really don’t care (￣▽￣)

This reminds me of Hashihime’s post on Why People Hate Hirano Aya. Sigh.

I dislike loads of things like yaoi, baseball & corn soup but the fact that other people love them makes no difference to me, as long as they don’t try to shove corn soup up my nostrils.

I also like a lot of things like the smell of petrol, chicken fricassee & bouncy castles but I don’t expect other people to like them nor do I feel like trying to turn somebody who hates bouncy castles into a bouncy castle lover.

I don’t even bother attempting to qualify why I hate what I hate, since the answer is likely to be “Just because”.

But er… let me attempt to provide 5 reasons why I think people hate Mizuki Nana:
1. She yodels too much.
2. Her anime roles suck.
3. She’s more successful than Hirano Aya.
4. キモイ
5. ブサイク
6. 貧乳
and so on.

And last but not least… yay! I’ve managed to outdo Hashihime by mentioning the word Hashihime 19 times within a post. I think listening to fripSide NAO Project! on repeat today has crippled my brain.

It seems it’s the time of the year for that Saimoe tourney-thingy again but thankfully I’ve not had my Google Reader clogged up with all those ’saimooey thingamajigs’ (yet). I would’ve thought that by now most people will have tired of the whole thing… but apparently not.

Actually, I am vaguely interested in the results of the contest, just to see who’s been causing otaku e-penor to wag this year and to laugh at the lengths some people will go to get their favourites to ‘win’.

Everyone knows I’m a Mizuki Nana fan. At least I hope everyone does… I rarely talk about it on the blog because I don’t want to sound like a drooling, broken record repeating ‘Nana Rules!’ ad nauseum. I tend not to extol her qualities as much as I would Inoue Marina or Kitamura Eri because there is already a massive Nana following on the internet – no need to preach to a group of people who have by and large already converted to Nana-worshipping, no?
