Anime

Outsmarted By A Little Blue Frog

Since I have nothing better to do, I thought I'd bring back my Anime video clips. So I fixed up Blog Torrent, set up a seed, and clicked the link on my notebook to check that everything was working.

And I got a download speed of two megabytes per second.

Azureus worked out that the seed was accessible on my wireless network, and went straight there rather than going out onto the internet.

Fortunately, I also have wireless internet, and that confirmed that the seed really was working.

So go for it!

By the way, if you have your own collection of clips that you would be willing to donate to be torrentified, drop me a comment. I'm kind of addicted to these things.

Of what's there now, my favourites:

The opening of Nanaka 6/17.
The closing of Popotan.
The opening and closing of Shinobuden.
The opening of Pretty Cure. The closing isn't bad either.
The opening of Tsukuyomi Moon Phase.
The opening and closing of Kamichu, the best anime of 2005.
And of course, the opening of Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar (aka Sugar, A Little Snow Fairy) which is a work of kawaii genius.

Oh yes, and the opening of Mama Is A 4th Grader. Steven Den Beste is wont to say that we are not nearly afraid enough of the Japanese (in reference to some particularly bizarre bit of their popular culture), but I think there's little to worry about with a culture that can produce something like this.

1 If you want kawaii genius and good music, you should include the OP for Bottle Fairy. And "Mama is a 4th Grader" definitely sounds fear-inducing to me.

2 Speak not his name lest he appear. :) Bottle Fairy is in there. When I first posted these, I referred to Mama is a 4th Grader as [a] gritty study of pre-teen pregnancy in the slums of Osaka. Which is, perhaps, not entirely accurate. The AnimeNfo page has a good capsule summary which doesn't give too much away, since all the events described happen in the first episode.

3 Don't forget about the uberkawaii "Funky Cat Maybe." Can punch bloodsugar levels into dangerous territory in a heartbeat.

4 Yeah, I'll put that up too. I've installed a new torrent manager, so I'll be uploading more stuff soon.

5 I suspect you don't want to be flooded with suggestions, but here's one more: the ED for Happy Lesson TV. (Dancing chibis! Kisaragi dancing to her own beat!)

6 Oh, flood away! If I have a source for it, I'll put it up. Happy Lesson is done.

7 Mama Is A 4th Grader I read that as "Mama Is A 4th Gender" at first.
