			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <abbr title="Impz, Akai, mellow_bunny">ABA committee</abbr> is <a href="http://blog.animeblogawards.com" title="the blog of the 2009 ABA committee">kicking things off</a>, as I <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/11/17/and-so-it-begins" title="when mellow_bunny twittered about the impending new ABA site launch, I announced my platform of whoredom">&#8220;leaked&#8221; a few weeks back</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seaslugteam.com/archives/2008/12/15/preparations-for-anime-blog-awards-2009" title="Preparations for Anime Blog Awards 2009, by Kabitzin">Kabitzin wrote a better post about this than I ever could</a>. Go check it out. Mad props to him for approaching the ABAs with such reason and constructive thought, and for being quicker to combo than any idiots other than myself (and I was extremely premature).</p>
<p>Before we go much farther, though, let it be known: I do not intend to use Jason Miao&#8217;s victory in &#8220;Funniest&#8221; in 2008 become a point of contention or competition between myself and that man.</p>
<p>Miao on My Mind will be dismantled soon. Look forward to it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;m finally watching Kannagi 09, which <a href="http://twitter.com/icystorm/status/1034889599">people</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/serial/statuses/1031599317">have</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/mellow_bunny/status/1034914457">been</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/ghostlightning/status/1034940344">raving</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/omonomono/statuses/1034982380">about</a>. Yeah, it was funny.</p>
<p>But it is also extremely heterosexist.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t usually like making these kinds of assumptions (they tend to fall in the same category as Paranoia Agent&#8217;s EPIC FAIL ending of &#8220;omg people kill themselves exclusively due to paranoia&#8221;), but does anyone else think this might have something to do with Japan&#8217;s negative population growth? I remember reading some post(s) somewhere about how an unprecedented percentage of h-manga, etc. not only had ejaculation inside the birth canal, but portrayed it in a positive light in recent times, and that this might be due to national pressure to inspire more pregnancies.</p>
<p>If &#8220;things like that&#8221; (referring to Jin and Daitetsu being in a homo relationship) &#8220;do sometimes happen,&#8221; then that&#8217;s two fewer impregnated females, right?</p>
<p>Discuss.</p>
<p>Actually, don&#8217;t discuss. Go make babies with Japanese school girls. The world doesn&#8217;t have enough people in it.</p>
<p>Some highlights (highlight to read, har har):</p>
<div style="color:#fafafa;">- Daitetsu becomes a freak show<br />
- lololol you don&#8217;t confess to someone just because you think you fit their sexuality<br />
- &#8220;You must let everyone know that Jin is a normal boy who likes girls&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;I can see no reason why Jin would refuse [Zange-chan]&#8221; <--- riiiight because if you're a straight guy you'd go out with a hot girl even if you know she's a terrible person<br />
- "OMG I NEED TO PROTECT JIN [from the misconceptions that he's homo]"<br />
- "I need to apologize for insulting you by calling you gay"<br />
- Jin actually caring and seeing the need to do anything about it</div>
<p>P.S. I&#8217;m only partially trolling. Also, <a href="http://twitter.com/FFenril/statuses/1031523842">the French rock</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, <a href="http://twitter.com/mellow_bunny/status/1010279146" title="mellow_bunny makes first official mention of 2009 Anime Blog Awards">mellow_bunny mentioned the 2009 ABA</a>. Maybe some of you will remember that <a href="/awards" title="lolikit is a winner">I won an award</a> in the 2008 ABA, though I only returned to blogging a couple weeks before the closing of nominations. That, my friends, is a lightning campaign. And I won&#8217;t bet my luck on it twice in a row.</p>
<p>I already began my campaign, as <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/10/24/press-release-miao-on-my-mind-launch?cid=30755#comment-30755" title="CCY says he's slow, but he's observant sometimes">CCY-senpai noted</a>, when I <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/10/24/press-release-miao-on-my-mind-launch" title="this is my best post ever">launched Miao on My Mind on October 24th</a>. If ABA&#8217;s schedule is the same in 2009 as it was this year, that means that I&#8217;m giving myself approximately half a year to run.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s similar to the US Presidential Elections, where candidates campaigned for two years for a four-year office. </p>
<p>I want to be <a href="http://jaredrea.com/2008/11/05/president-elect-barack-obama/" title="Jared rocks, as evidenced by the image in the linked post here">Obama to the McCain </a>of whoever else thinks they&#8217;re a good Satire Aniblog.</p>
<p>To that end, I&#8217;m going to have to ask you, my readers, to support me. I know that one of the things that propelled me to victory in May was my tsundere campaign of &#8220;vote for me and I&#8217;ll fucking hate you.&#8221; ( <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/04/27/vote-lolikit-no-we-cant" title="lolikitsune hates your vote, Exhibit A">Exhibit A</a> | <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/04/28/about-100-tons-of-rage" title="lolikitsune hates your vote, Exhibit B">Exhibit B</a> | <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2008/05/13/anime-blog-awards-redemption" title="lolikitsune hates your vote, Exhibit C">Exhibit C</a> ) This, much like campaigning quickly, is a trick I won&#8217;t repeat. Please. I fucking love all of you, and everyone who votes for me gets one round of fellatio. If you nominate me in the first round, I&#8217;ll let you put it inside. If you nominate me <i>and blog about it</i>, you can do it raw, and if your nomination secures me someone else&#8217;s nomination, I won&#8217;t make you pull out.</p>
<p>Seriously, guys. I&#8217;m spreading my legs for you.</p>
<p><i>Preemptively</i>.</p>
<p>The ABA<strike>BABABAB</strike> 2009 site isn&#8217;t even close to up yet. For all I know, there may be a rule specially disqualifying me. But. Barring all such horrendous hypotheticals, I <i>want to win</i>. I will <i>do anything for it</i>.</p>
<p>Even if that means <a href="http://houseofsixten.com/heartscontents">wearing nekomimi and a maid dress</a>, or <a href="http://baka-raptor.com">erasing my sidebar</a>, or <a href="http://oihayaku.com">being professional</a>, or <a href="http://derailedbydarry.com">loving sports</a>, or <a href="http://bignanime.wordpress.com">liking bad things</a>, or <a href="http://omaemo.dasaku.net">pretending to be intelligent</a>.</p>
<p><i>I will do it</i>.</p>

<blockquote><p>LUNCH IN THE ROSE GARDEN?!?!?!!oneoneeleven</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s been ages since I last blogged <a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-trainwreck-20081019-082233.jpg">trainwreck</a> yuri. How many ages, you ask? <a href="http://not.dotq.org/2006/09/25/strawberry-panic-26-end-and-so-we-see-the-grand-conclusion-of-one-grand-anime" title="a year and a half">Too many</a> (<a href="http://not.dotq.org/2007/03/26/kannazuki-no-miko-ep-25">this</a> doesn&#8217;t count, because any yuri involving Chikane is automatically excellent). And damn is it good to be back.</p>
<p><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-2-20081019-070140.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-2-20081019-070140.jpg" alt="mouryou 2" title="omg is that apple wallpaper?!" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;M REMINDED OF AGONY&mdash;SO WHERE&#8217;S THE <abbr title="vagina-bumping lololol">SHELL-MATCHING</abbr>?</p></blockquote>
<p>This show isn&#8217;t necessarily <i>bad</i>, actually. I just need something to make fun of right now, and Hyakko is too obvious. Toradora! has <a href="http://www.farawaynowhere.com/blog/2008/10/18/toradora-best-show-ever-until-i-change-my-mind/">already been served justice</a>, of course. Now, I&#8217;ve not ready any other blogs&#8217; posts on Mouryou no Hako, aside from taking one glancing blow of a look at some post that accused someone of accusing the show of sucking. In other words, I have no idea what the &#8220;community sentiment&#8221; is. <a href="http://cjblackwing.wordpress.com">CJ Blackwing</a> told me to watch this and mellow_bunny told me to blog this. That&#8217;s all there is to it.</p>
<p><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-3-20081019-070412.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-3-20081019-070412.jpg" alt="mouryou 3" title="ehehehe couldn't help myself" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>KANAKO BEAM</p></blockquote>
<p>As for any &#8220;real&#8221; thoughts I have regarding this show, well. I really did laugh a little when I saw Kanako reading on their date (and immediately remembered Lovely Kitsune&#8217;s post, and immediately needed to follow mellow_bunny&#8217;s advice). I really was amused by our heroine&#8217;s reactions to things and her gradual spiral downward into <s>the sea of oblivion</s> insanity. On the other hand, the show did pique my curiosity: I&#8217;m interested to find out what the hell is up with the talking heads in boxes, and stuff. Looks like yuri subplot isn&#8217;t over yet because the ED is an endless ring of naked girls, so maybe it&#8217;s not actually a subplot.</p>
<div class="imgleft"><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-4-20081019-070531.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-4-20081019-070531.jpg" alt="mouryou 4" title="You think all I do is stand here and feel my nuts" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>halo thar, MY NAME IS MR. COCKBLOCK</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>On the other hand, I absolutely cannot bring myself to care about our heroine (or her fuck buddy). Neither displays any substantial character prior to existing as nothing but <abbr title="that's gotta be a trope, right?">insane lesbians</abbr>. Neither is especially sympathetic, nor is either unsympathetic enough for me to care. They&#8217;re just sorta there, dancing under the moonlight.</p>
<p>And I guess that&#8217;s okay. Just, not the makings of an awesome yuri.</p>
<p>Buuuut it looks like we&#8217;ll be seeing more of this detective guy, and it looks like he might be more of a main character ultimately than our moon-crossed crazies, so things might turn out alright. The show also has a chance to become <i>fucking awesome</i>. Check out this line of events:</p>
<p><br class="clear" /></p>
<ol>
<li>our heroine cooperates with Detective&#8217;s investigation</li>
<li>Kanako&#8217;s servant/brother/whoever Mr. Cockblock is knows Kanako&#8217;s secrets</li>
<li>Mr. Cockblock, in order to protect Kanako&#8217;s honor, kills our heroine</li>
<li>Mr. Cockblock and Detective have hot buttsex</li>
</ol>
<div class="center"><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-5-20081019-070833.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-5-20081019-070833.jpg" alt="please be gentle" title="please be gentle" style="height:160px;" /></a> <a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-6-20081019-071026.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-6-20081019-071026.jpg" alt="you're being too rough!" title="you're being too rough!" style="height:160px;" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>PLEASE BE GENTLE&mdash;T-TOO ROUGH!!</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p><i>The many faces of Kusumoto.</i></p>
<p><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-7-20081019-074349.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-7-20081019-074349.jpg" alt="yamibou vibes" title="fuck yeah choking hoes" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>I CAME A LITTLE, THEN I REMEMBERED YAMI TO BOUSHI TO HON NO TABIBITO. I CAME AGAIN.</p></blockquote>
<div class="imgright"><a href="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-8-20081019-074924.jpg"><img src="http://flak.dotq.org/skitch/mouryou-8-20081019-074924.jpg" alt="one cat follows another cat" title="one cat follows another cat" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>HERDING LILIES IS DANGEROUS WORK, BUT ONE LILY FOLLOWS ANOTHER LILY</p></blockquote>
</div>
<p>Would I recommend this show to the casual viewer? Too early to tell. The possibilities seem endless. This could be a really interesting detective story or a really bad story about unrequited love, suicide, paranoia, and rebirth as your lover (again, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito parallels). There are other directions it could go, too. /me shrugs</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll have fun blogging this until I stop having fun with it, I suppose.</p>
<p>Any other shows I should be blogging regularly? Let me know in the comments.</p>
