Nostalgia Disease

The funniest thing about Hinano's attempt to raise the dead was that some listed patently weren't. And it seems to chochok-ed tjhan at least. Or is that really a tjhan homunculus over at RIUVA now? (BTW the ending of FMA really ruined the series for me. I'll probably wait for the new iteration to conclude before deciding whether to pick it up, like the way I did with the first season of Code Geass.)
Anyhow this post was spurred, in the aftermath of LOL at the title of Martin's feedreader folder, by the impulse look at the 'on hiatus' feeds I subscribe to, albeit incompletely. WRT hiatus criteria, mine are (1) self-declared (Goodbye, World) or (2) no anime posts for at least three months. In monitoring the undead, there's a distinct bias towards the Ole Skool blogs who have been around since the Ancient Times; well, those haven't vanished into the ether of the interwebs and who have RSS feeds. Aside from those, I do miss two yuri fans, mangaminx who burned out after Mai Otome concluded and myu of the yandere love.
I guess I'm a sentimental sort of guy. Now suddenly have the urge to go back and tag old posts bemoaning the disappearance or hiatus of old anime blogs with the title of this post.
Yuri Biri Biri Facerub Animated Gif
After much procrastination, I finally got down to making an animated gif from Index Episode 14 where Mikoto returns home to someone who loves her.
Except I couldn't remember how to do it at first. And as with all matters technical, I turned to Kabitzin - specifically the tutorial recommended in the Matsurika guitar post.
Only Stripey can save Japan now
[insert screencap (which I don't have so a text note will have to do) of light coming out of the pages of one of Suguru's ero-hon]
Via BBC News:
Japan's exports plunged 45.7% in January compared with a year ago to hit the lowest figure in 10 years, official figures have shown.
Obviously some one needs to buy MOAR loli pr0n and stuff - pronto.
Speaking of economic stimulus, clearly the ban does not apply to anime porn.
The forgiveness of lolis
I was struck by the following line from the article 'Polanski asks US court to dismiss 1977 charge of sex with a minor' in The Guardian: '[The then-loli] publicly forgave the director in 1997.'
It got me thinking: How many harem animes actually ended with the harem lead chose and slept with the loli haremette? (It's almost as rare as siscon anime where the Really Blood-Related brother and sister actually get together.) In the case of a strictly defined loli, consent is irrelevant in deciding GUILTY or NOT GUILTY!? While the loli may be able to forgive, it's really out of her hands once this becomes an issue for the justice system and The Rules of Society. I suppose that's when Not Actually Under-Age But Only Loli-Looking haremettes come into the picture as a sort of substitute.
In any case, perhaps the FBI should have been more proactive in trying to get their hands on Polanski. But, then again, they might have reckoned that lolicons are already well apprised of the concept of bait. Even hackers have caught on to the trick!
