You know the story, girl meets boy, boy is a drooling idiot, a total cliché and tries too hard to make her like him. In the end, against all odds, the boy gets the girl. Well that’s also what happened with K-on and me, I hated the series on the first episode, absolutely despised it. It was the anime equivalent of Taco Bell: flavorless, cheap, an unintended parody of its genre.

Some days we love mashups, other days we hate them, and then there’s days like today. Days where there is no black or white, only different shades of blue, Konata blue.

What you see above is a mashup of Chrono Trigger’s Corridors of Time, one of the most iconic tracks of one of the most iconic game soundtracks ever, mixed with Lucky Star’s Konata. Konata’s Time Corridor is something I can neither love nor hate, only admire. This definitely took dedication to make, the kind of dedication only a Lucky Star fan could muster… since it takes the same kind of perseverance or sadism to watch Lucky Star.

Nothing’s sacred in Japan anymore, everything can be moe-fied, even punk rock. Avex Entertainment has released Punkcore (Pankore), an album that sums up its premise in a very concise way: Voice Actresses, Legendary Punk Rock Songs Collection.

And it is, precisely, that. A collection of 12 punk and rock songs sung in the most inappropriate voice ever. In some cases, like in Pretty Fly For A White Guy you can hear above, its actually pretty cool. While in others, like Smells Like Teen Spirit, which you can see below, the results are simply baffling.

It had been a very very long time since I watched a “moe” anime. . . and I think I hit the spot on finding one of the most honey-drenched, abyssmal-plotted, ridiculous-love relations anime on the list. . .Rizelmine. Here’s what I think. . .
