Kimura Takahiro's character designs

I was tidying up this evening, glanced at my DVDs, and... how come I never noticed before?



The certain blonde lady on volume 5 of my Godannar DVDs....

...looks just like a certain green-haired lady in Code Geass...

...except that she's blonde and has bigger boobs.

If anyone says that the Code Geass character designs look more CLAMP than Kimura Takahiro.... well, I disagree with them. :P

(EDIT: I get the feeling my brother might have mentioned this to me before, and I forgot about it...)

How To Use Geass

I bought one of the silliest things I've ever seen on ebay. ^_^



It's a Code Geass Sleep Mask!

I don't actually need one, if I ever have trouble sleeping it's not usually because there's too much light. I just thought this looks too funny!

Anyway. For some reason, it comes with instructions on a bit of card. The product was cheap, and originated in Hong Kong, so the photocopied instructions could be for anything, for all I know. Anyway. It clearly says "HowToUse GEASS"... but even if I could easily read the Japanese that's written there, it's far too blurred to make out the characters. What a pity!

If you want to try and see if you can read it, click on the picture above to see a larger version of the image!

...maybe if it enables me to use GEASS, I shouldn't use this too often...

recently watched

I've recently watched:

* The first episode of City Hunter

* The first two episodes of Code Geass

* The first episode of Cutey Honey

City Hunter is SO COOL! *_*

The first two episodes of Code Geass made me go OMG!! at the end of each episode. *_*

I can't decide whether Cutey Honey is bad or good. It's started like like any other old Go Nagai show. Family dies at the start. Hero shouts stuff, robot throws its adornments to attack. Beats baddies. Actually, it's more like the old Devilman series than the robot shows. But with more gratuitous female nudity. The episode is 25 mins long and finishes at 20 mins! The full-length end theme is played, and there's a really long episode preview. Maybe I'll give the next episode a go... or I could watch more of the other *really cool* shows... hmm...

EDIT: I decided to watch more Cutey Honey. I've also decided that she's now my favourite Go Nagai mecha. ^_^;; She's far less evil than any of the other Go Nagai heroes I've encountered, after all.

I'm still not sure how Go Nagai manages to make scenes that ought to be erotic just plain bizarre. Or rather, maybe I'm just not sure *why* he does it. Maybe he prefers it that way. O_o
