ExplicitCacophony To Valentine’s Day | Valentine’s Day comes again… No White Day for me, so “naturally,” I have to celebrate Black Day this year…otra vez… My fuzzy Valentine… Leave little Valentine, leave! Each day is Black Day. Cacophony (discord, dissonance) in Brazilian is “desafinado.” Just like my heart without symphony. 3-D squeals queasy, played by Misoharmonic, so disharmonic. Never received honmei choco…no chocophony. So, I find 3-D all phony. Thus, I seek moephony in 2-D… Hence, here’s my Cacophony To Valentine’s Day. Lyrics below: 2-D Girls Are Better Than 3-D Girls written by M. LaMoe I wanna date a girl I wanna touch a girl I wanna kiss a girl And wanna hug a girl Oh yes, skinship! Skinship is what I truly need But no girl has dated me No girl has touched me ‘Cause they all have boyfriends Some even got husbands So instead of boobs I drink some booze To 2-D girls That’s my moe Wise man says, “Just ignore these 3-D girls. So you can attain blissful enlightenment.” But cute-looking girls still captivate me And I really wanna touch them But they don’t let me So I just touch myself Thinking ‘bout 2-D girls 2-D girls, better than 3-D girls 2-D girls for sure are better than 3-D girls | 2/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitOtaku In The Mirror Part 2 | Kyun Kyun Kyun Kyun, boku no kanojo wa migite! If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. -Jesus Of Nazareth Boku no kanojo wa migite (my girlfriend is my right hand). It’s a sad statement by hetare. Whenever I watch a romantic anime on Niconico, I always see comments like, “I wish I had a girlfriend. But, my current girlfriend is my right hand.” A very Otaku’s lamentation indeed. Because of evolution and machismo factors, a hetare can’t get to have skinship, making him incel, involuntary celibate. Yes, we’re celibates. So, that means we’re as holy as religious celibates such as Catholic sisters. We’re as holy as Mother Theresa indeed. Why aren’t we getting the same respect? It’s just whether it’s involuntary or voluntary, right? Yet, hetares can’t embrace flower generation concept of peace-making. Yes, peacemaking is lovemaking, erotic humping! The Gipper’s slogan was peace through strength, flower people’s was peace through sex, but hetare’s would be peace through O72*? Hallucination inflicted by O72. Midori no Hibi, that anime is so hetare. Yes, the heroine’s hair color is Midori (green), the same haircolor with Ranka Lee. That’s the most staggering prophesy I’ve ever seen, even more frightening than Nostradamus’. Your right hand becomes a girl! Yes, even if we want to make peace, we don’t have any girl to make peace to. Can’t sing, “Making peace to only you, so hold me tight tonight!” Maybe sing, “So I make peace to myself, what a skinshipless world.” "Senpai. Do you have a girlfriend?" "Yeah, my current girlfriend is my right hand..." I wonder if hetares are already members of this peace movement. Their motto is Peace through O72. You know, I felt like a total loser joining them, so I didn’t. It just reinforces the fact that 3-D (reality) is very harsh. And I don’t want to be infected by O72. O72 will attack you when you are most vulnerable feeling lonesome and saudade (melancholic). O157 infected kindergarten kids in Osaka from eating kaiware-daikon (sprout radish) in 1996. In order to ease public panic, Kan Naoto (current Prime Minister of Japan, Health Minister in 1996) had to eat kaiware-daikon in front of the press. Now, as PM of Japan, he needs to address the nation to be on the lookout for a new bacteria, O-72. If you get O72, when you see yourself in the mirror, your hand will start transforming into a human girl, and she will start talking to you. What a spooky ventriloquist epidemic… O72 is a new ergot. Kan eating Kaiware-Daikon. Bridge-maker is pontifex, and peace-maker is pacifex. A renowned bridge-maker was John Paul II. MLK, Mahatma Gandhi, John and Yoko were the renowned pacifex maximus, the greatest peacemaker. But hetares are falling to be pacifex minimus. The least auto-pacifier. Anything auto (self) is a sin. Autism (auto + ism), auto-consciousness, and auto-consolation. So, hetares are fallen angels like Onan the sinner. Les miserables. So, we try hard not to be a sinner, but if we hold it for too long, Hoover Dam will explode. Does “lucid” dream also count as a sin? That dream is nothing we can do, it’s beyond our control. It’s automatic~♪ Even Utada agrees with us. So, what is a golden remedy for O-72 when peace through skinship is unattainable? It is Moe! Virtual skinship. Spiritual skinship. Moetical skinship! Cleanse us from defilement! So, I rather become the real winner in 2-D instead of a loser/sinner in 3-D. Peace through moe! Let us march forward to 2-D, land where hetares cried, land of the Otakus’ pride, from every cliffside, let moe ring! For the sake of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech anniversary!

ExplicitFall 2010 Audio Preview | Ray and I did an informal, unedited summer season preview a few months ago…and now it’s time for the fall 2010 one! In this edition, we run down almost every show in the order of Scamp’s season chart (version 1). We looked at trailers whenever we could and express our hopes and fears for the upcoming season. I, for one, am waiting for surprises. Reminder: this is raw and unedited, unlike our much more polished Anime Diet Radio podcasts (which will return soon)! Enjoy. | 8/25/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitOtaku In The Mirror/watashi no kare wa hikikomori | Kyun Kyun, Kyun Kyun, watashi no kare wa hikikomori! ソクラテスはキモかった。Socrates wa kimokatta. (Socrates was repulsive). -Friedrich Nietzsche Ranka Lee of Macross F sings ‘Watashi no kare wa pilot‘ (originally by Lynn Minmay, composed by legendary Hane-Ken). But I want her to sing ‘Watashi no kare wa hikikomori.’ A pilot is a war hero, and evokes certain images: Red baron. Red comet. Amuro, Char, Saotome Alto. But, war hero is as old as McCain’s gray hair. In the age of 2-D, in anime or dating sims, we make girlfriends. So the characters should sing, “私の彼はひきこもり (my boyfriend is a hikikomori).” Hikky is new hero. Why am I a hikky? First, I have eisoptrophobia. In other words, I’m spectrophobic. I’m afraid of mirror. Man in the mirror is a kimo-ota, hetare. If you are リア充 ria-juu, (living satisfactory life), you see a narcissist in the mirror, but if you’re experiencing a “perception of failure” as Glenn Beck calls it, you find yourself repulsive. kimoi (repulsive) + otaku = kimo-ota. That is Man in 3-D. Yes, mirror is exactly a reflection of yourself in the 3-D world. That’s why I can’t face the mirror. I think mirror is a measurement of autophobia (self-loathing), just like John Lennon said “God is a concept to measure our pain.” So, God is in a sense our mirror. Confession room has a mirror. That’s why the Japanese put a mirror in a shrine, symbolizing the divine power. The Sun Goddess Amaterasu said, “treat this mirror like you treat me.” The Shinto mirror is just like the all-seeing eye on a dollar bill, or the eye of evil from Lord of the Ring: it has a penetrating power to see through illusions to the truth. Scopophobia I can’t see myself in the mirror, and at the same time, I don’t want the public to see me. I’m afraid of being looked. So, I have scopophobia like Morino from Okami san and her seven friends. You know, eye contacts are highly stressful. It causes a great deal of anxiety. Why? Because eyes are like the mirror. It reflects you. Yes, eyes are the camera lens. I know why stars feel uncomfortable when they’re taken pictures by paparazzi. It’s the same. I feel uncomfortable being taken pictures with their natural lens. Everywhere you go, there are cameras. Wal-Mart, parking lot, cross section of the traffic. London is the worst, citizens are constantly being watched. So, I can’t get out at the marketplace, because of agoraphobia, a fear of the market, just like these German shepherds returning from wars. That’s why I need privacy from Orwellian 3-D. zoophobia I also have zoophobia. I don’t like beasts including dogs and cats. I thought humans were different from animals, but turned out to be otherwise. The truth is human beings are part of the animal kingdom, so zoophobia includes anthropophobia, a fear of humans. Because of zoophobia, I try to avoid eating meat. Not because of health reason. I don’t want to mix with lower creatures. It’s carnal and bestial. And the meat of beasts makes men violent. Probably macho men are the closest to the beasts since they are the most violent one. Because I’m a misanthrope, I’m horrified to be in a huge crowd. It wears me down. Women are slightly better than dudes. At least they don’t come off violent and intimidating. More than 90% of violent crimes are committed by dudes. Dudes get really aggressive, you can imagine some sports bar, they always start a fight during football game. Alcohol makes them extremely violent, so I try to avoid alcohol also. "Boys bullied me a lot in kindergarten." "Because of that, I still get nervous to talk to boys even today." Dudes are scary, so I’m also androphobic, i.e., misandrist. Macho men are cruel and brutal, especially Taikukai-kei (jocks), the alpha male type. I’ve long experienced male aggression since preschool like S[...] | 8/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
