More Yoshitoshi ABe Scribbles and Doodles on the iPad

I’m not getting tired of seeing him work magic with his fingers on the iPad anytime soon. And with three more videos up, this feeling is not going to go away anytime soon. :3

Seikon no Qwaser 13 was overwhelming.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched a show that can consistently make me stare incredulously at it while thinking “I can’t believe that just happened”, and Seikon no Qwaser is fitting the bill quite nicely. Tasteless or not, the show just rolls around in its refuge in audacity, openly flaunts its source material and takes actions regarding nudity and intentional eroticism much farther than I would think possible for a late-night anime even, and in a way, it’s pretty damn admirable. Episode 13 takes the show to a higher level, with a premise to the episode that could be so exploitable in a way that Shin would really enjoy it (feeling sorry, but not too sorry for Sasha here), the unabashed constant presence of cheesecake fanservice throughout (to the point where 95% of the show I couldn’t screencap and post on this blog ever), and a pretty awesome giant muscular nun in Nikuma, who performs the most epic “asset”-grabs ever in anime, imo.

Yes this is the nun. And one of the best moments of the episode.

This episode was hilariously over the top and “wrong” (it’s very hard not to say that my general response was OMGWTFLOL for serious), and I would be very hard pressed to see any the rest of the show being as great as this.  It’s one of the best episodes of this year so far, no joke. Seriously, if Nikuma happened to be voiced by someone like Norio Wakamoto or Jouji Nakata, this episode would have basically been the “Show’s over. Everybody go home.” moment, and I would be perfectly fine with that.  Well, I wouldn’t mind seeing more Katya-Hana moments like way back in episode 4, with a scene that still stays in my mind for “various” unwholesome reasons.

On a side note, the new OP by Yousei Teikoku is pretty solid.

On another side note, this would have been my birthday post had my internet cooperated with me some minutes earlier. Oh wells.

ABe is probably the best possible way to get me to buy an iPad…

Seeing Yoshitoshi ABe working his magic on it is totally the coolest thing ever.

Wondering if one could actually draw on one (albeit not with fingers, but something more like a pen, but hey) was something that I had been wondering about ever since it was released. Silly, I know. But it’s great to see ABe at quick work here, and I hope to see more stuff like this in the future. Stuff like this is why I read his blog, as well as Google Reader Shared Items. And is why I’m really hoping for Despera to come out sooner. \o

I think the only thing that’s disappointing about K-On!! so far is that…

Lelangir probably isn’t going to try transcribing any of the new songs that appear this season. A loss, for sure. And granted, it’s not like I haven’t left things unfinished either. :v
