Open Letter to a Troll
Recently, The Pond got it's
first visit from an anime-hating troll. While I generally prefer to starve trolls to death and then jump up and down on their corpses, since this is MY VERY OWN first troll, I wanted to say a few words.
Dear Troll...
Thank you for the comment you left during your recent visit to The Pond. While it was poorly written and hard to understand, it certainly showed that you are either a terribly prejudiced, perhaps racist, person, or maybe just a profoundly ignorant one, with a taste for censorship to boot.
While I have only a handful of regular readers, and losing any reader is something small bloggers hate, I'd prefer it if you never bring yourself to my Pond ever again. In conclusion:
Have a swell day,
-Wonderduck

Odds are very good that Troll-san doesn't know what
akanbe is, and thus won't understand the significance of the picture. (Let alone know who the character is.)
What I'd love to know is how Troll-san found your site in the first place. Do you have referer logs? Or would we have to get Pixy to dig them out?

Eh, I think
akanbe is pretty universal, leastwise the tongue part surely is.
The fact that Troll-chan doesn't know who Haruhi-sama is makes it even better... in effect, God just flipped her off behind her back. *heh*
I've contacted the Pixinator to help hunt down the source of Troll-chan.

Troll-chan came to you via another munu blog, but no hint on how they got
there.

MuNu Pays Off!
As you may have seen once or twice, The Pond is hosted by MuNuVania, which is run by a swell guy (for not being a duck) in Australia named
Pixy Misa.
Pixy just announced that he's going to be creating a commercial version of MuNu, and finally will be paid for his efforts! This is fantastic news, and a huge round of applause and congratulations need to go out to Big Daddy Pixy!
I've been a denizen of MuNuVania for about 18 months now, and I thank my lucky stars that Pixy invited me in, and away from the evil Bloggermonster.

Eeeewwww....! Don't you have traps, or troll spray or something? You can't just let them roam freely!

Yamato Rising
SDB muses:
Tomorrow UPS will deliver my latest DVD order, and I'll get to watch yet another incarnation of Yamato in anime. It will, at least, be a bit more realistic. Or maybe not. They're not going to lift it into space, but a 13 year old girl is going to single-handedly lift it from the depths and move it back to a Japanese port.
Now I'm curious: when the girl/god in question raises the Yamato, will it be in one piece, or will it be in historically accurate shape (i.e., in two chunks, with the main turrets out of their barbettes)?
Considering that it's a god doing the raising, she can probably repair the damage while she's at it. Maybe a new coat of paint. Buff out the dings...

I'm sure it will be in one piece, and there will be no evidence of battle damage. I'll post about it when the time comes.

OK, when they show the underwater shots, the ship is in two pieces and is definitely rusting away. It looks to me like they based those scenes on photos from when the wreck was found.
As to what happens later, it all makes sense, and when Yamato surfaces it is restored. But I won't go into details because it's a spoiler.
Ep 9 is the best one since ep 3.

Just wait until ep.12. Then we'll talk about the best episodes. ^_^

I guess people's tastes vary. Ep 12 (the God convention) was good, but IMHO far from being the best episode in the series.
Or maybe you mean the 12th broadcast episode? I won't be able to watch that until my copy of the 4th DVD ships (probably in about 2 weeks).

No, I see that the tastes do differ. BTW, I skipped ep.10 entirely after seeing the 30 seconds or so.
