I was inspired by Gordon’s post regarding Photofunia and wanted to mess around with the site, too! Enjoy the random photos and Youtube links after the jump. Image sources range from imgDump to Gelbooru.

Martian Successor Nadesico

I’ve been wanting to watch this series for years! I first heard about this series years ago when I saw it featured in an issue of Animerica. My interest was piqued when I saw that there was an anime within the series itself called Gekiganger III.

Definitely a homage to earlier robot series of its age, specifically Getter Robo. In the series, this was a show that was aired a hundred odd years earlier and was considered a classic, especially to two characters: Jiro Yamada (who referred to himself mostly as Daigoji Gai) and Akito Tenkawa. As the series progressed, even though Akito was often made fun of for swearing by the show, the whole crew eventually came to love and embrace the show. Hell, even the alien race, the Jovian Lizards, sweared by the show! Lain suggested that I watch the Gekiganger OVA sometime soon. I’ll get around to it.

Anyway, getting back to the actual plot of the series, it is 2196 and Earth is waging war with the Jovian Lizards. The privately-owned company Nergal builds a ship called the ND-001 Nadesico. The crew of the Nadesico has the best people in their respective fields. The only catch: they’re quirky.

Spoilers run abundant in this post, so be wary! Also, slight tangent: I have a little ShoutMix Chat Widget on the sidebar. :P

The Big Bay Balloon Parade report will have to wait until I go get my adapter swapped. I’m too lazy to recreate my workflow settings on the desktop PC and I can wait until tomorrow to get that set up. In the meantime, here is an overdue Christmas loot haul post alongside the DVD box sets I scored, since all of the pictures are already uploaded onto Flickr. Not included are the clothes I scored later on at the malls. $5 tanktops and two articles of clothing from Old Navy for ~$15? I’m there :D
