your thoughts have summoned this post from hell so, as i pray... Home > Archives > 2008 > October > 28 Mouryou no Hako 02 – Shit, It’s Not ShitWhen I wrote about episode one, I said:
Looks like it’s following that first option. Baka-Raptor commented on that post, saying:
Now, the big problem I’m having with following Baka-Raptor’s advice is that, as frankeinstein noted, I only blog the worst shows. And, as fall underwhelms with its vast selection of mediocre titles, this second episode of Mouryou no Hako has lifted the show onto a pedestal far above this season’s standards. In other words—it is not only not shit, but it is so much better than the (bad) non-shit that it’s hard for me to ridicule it. Seriously. I tried blogging this episode, in my usual style. You can see what happened below:
Exhibit A: Ge-rei Zero is HOT
 P.S. Baka-Raptor, Ga-rei Zero has dinosaurs, lesbians, and characters who are like you. I’m not trying to boss you around, or anything, but watch that shit.
… yeah. My attempt at blogging the episode deteriorated very quickly, as you can see, into “funny” screencaps accompanied by sex jokes. Why is there so much sex on my mind? I blame CCY-senpai. *drools* Ahem! Anyway, yeah. Mouryou no Hako is shaping up to be one of the better shows this season, in my opinion. Up there with Ga-rei Zero and Earl and Fairy (why do people say this one’s a guilty pleasure? Where’s the guilt in it? It’s fucking awesome), as I see it. And as such, it’s hard for me to make fun of it. Of course—I don’t really know how the show’s going to shape up yet. For all I know episode three will be back to nonsensical poetic lesbianism, and I’ll be able to knock it for all I’ve got. But right now, I’m interested in following the show a bit more seriously. |
it is moist & delicious meta and it's not even a lie! 6 ResponsesLeave a Comment |

I agree, Mouryou no Hako is shaping up to be an excellent anime. So what? Anyone can blog a crappy show. Many can make it amusing. But that’ll only guarantee them my readership, not my admiration.
Keep blogging Mouryou no Hako. Show me what you’re made of.
And if you’re still not up to the task, ask yourself:
What would

That is a challenge I can’t not accept.

Mouryou no Hako is indeed excellent. Shoujo-ai, murders, mysteries and nightmares on trains…and it looks awesome too. I’d love to see you blog it actually.
I’d also recommend Kurozuka. Samurai and vampires. Nuff said.
The rest of Ginban Kaleidoscope sits on my hard drive, awaiting viewing. You will owe me five hours of my life for that, I just know it.

@Martin:
I’m way ahead of you here.
I’ve seen four episodes and I do not regret them. I will blog about the show once I am done with it, and you will thank me for sharing awesomeness with you.

But when you blog a show you like, shouldn;t it be harder to make fun of it? Then again, I haven’t been following this blog long enough to see what you’re episodic style is like. For you, I would’ve thought the shittier the better.
ANDFD KUROPSHITSUJFDI RU;ALES?!l!”

@Omisyth: you are correct; shittier is better for my classic episodic style. I think that’s why Baka-Raptor is challenging me like this ;)
And no, it doesn’t. I think I might even drop it. It and Linebarrels.
