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.

Or a giant harem of women with bunny ears and over-sized male genitalia? Perhaps something simpler like flying through the air and setting people on fire. Then lucid dreaming is for you!

If you’ve never heard of the phenomenon, lucid dreaming is a state of dreaming, where one induces lucidity. In simpler words, a lucid dream is when you’re dreaming, and you realize that you’re dreaming. If you’re able to achieve that, you then have the ability to control your dreams, and use it in a very sandbox-y way similar to something like Gary’s Mod but oh so much better. You really can do just about anything, create a world of people and explore it, give yourself super powers and smash through walls, have copious amounts of sex with women from your favourite anime series.

If you wish to delve into your dreams and experience new wonders, then read on. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey there everyone, it’s me, Cyber34, coming at you from the ever so lovely Ukraine. You may remember me from such classics as Jerkpop 05, and the upcoming thriller, Podtoid-San 50.

If your eyes have lead you this far without as so much as a glance at the title, this is my new Weekly Feature, exclusively on Jerkpop.com Dennis’ Discount Warehouse of Wonders. I’m here for you, bored capitalists, to show you the way to find meaning in your lives. I will show you wonders that you could only ever imagine in your wildest dreams. I will give you a dose every week, of some website/activity, that should be able to last you a week of ecstasy-induced wild experiences, till you crawl back here, begging for more of my oh so sweet candy.

This week I’ll start slow on the mind-expanding experiences and give you a glimpse at ForumWarz.
