For the sake of your ears, we decided to NOT sing the opening and ending themes this week. (Yea, sorry about last week. We were well aware of how painful it must’ve been for your ears.)

I would also like to point out, despite of popular believe, we (jerkpop) does not harm or blend loli or girls or babies or any sort of human being.

P.S.: I’m slacking on the run-down this time, busy.

Cyber posted a link about making Obama looking more black.

So I got the first issue of PiQ in the mail today. PiQ, if you don’t know, is the successor to Newtype USA, which was shut down because ADV didn’t want to pay up the ass for the rights to use Newtype Japan’s name, logo (kinda), and some content. So ADV decided to do a magazine that wasn’t exclusively anime, but all around “geek” stuff. Needless to say, PiQ is great! Read about it after za jampu. Read the rest of this entry »

So, I was supposed to have a so-called “date” today (today meaning Thursday, March the 6th) as people who frequent the Japanator IRC channel might have heard me saying, but I didn’t go because I simply didn’t feel like it. Instead, I have written the second installment of “Anime I Regret Watching” because I’m cool like that(or not).

Anime I regret watching #4: Shuffle! Memories.

What the heck did they do to Primula’s face!?

The first problem about this anime is, I can’t figure out why they made it. I mean, aside from the reason to rip more money off of anime fans, there is simply no reason to have this 12 episodes “sequel” where 11 are made out of recaps. No, I’m not kidding. If you are a Shuffle! fan and thought, “Oh yay! Sequel to Shuffle!” Hold your horses, because it is definitely not a sequel. There is -some- (Note: Very little.) original content within the recaps, and the only episode out of the 12 that contains 100% original content is the last episode, which just an OVA with the usual crew on a boat and have nothing to do with the plot.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I loved the original Shuffle! series. However, I don’t love it enough to watch a water-downed version of it. Frankly, if I want to watch Shuffle! again, I’ll just watch Shuffle! again! Why would I go ahead and watch 11 episode of a water downed version of a series that I enjoyed all of the 24 episodes in the original series!? Why!?

The plot had to be trimmed and condensed so that they can fit 24 episodes into 11, which means only the dramatic scenes get left in and as a result, you can’t relate to the character as well as the original series. Aside from that, this series has more or less the same quality of the original. The animation quality was a tad bit higher, but everything else remained the same. After all, this is just a recap. The only major change in this recap version of Shuffle! is the music, and again, why!? The original music was great, but they just had to go around fiddling with the OP and ED, putting in second rate songs that are sung by the seiyuu, it’s just horrible!

So overall, if you haven’t seen the original Shuffle! series, go watch that instead of this. If you watched Shuffle! and want more of it, only get the last episode of Shuffle! Memories.

More bad anime after the jump.
