skywalker | Innocent Venus + Basquash. Beards!

I watched Innocent Venus yesterday and it was amazing. It's the sort of show that, like -- I wouldn't mind admitting to watching to people who don't watch anime? It was just a really amazing series. One that has a cool plot without being all about ~kawaii~ crazy antics and fanservice... it was really stunning.

Right now I'm watching Basquash, which is the complete opposite -- but such a polar opposite that it's still good. It's frequently pervy in an over-the-top, no-one-could-take-this-seriously way. And it's about PLAYING BASKETBALL IN GIANT ROBOTS! There's the girl who wants to beat a tough opponent and then bang him ("I'LL GET YOUR GENES!!!!!!!!!!") and the foot fetish woman ("THESE TOUGH, FLEXIBLE FEET ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WANT TO FIGHT AGAIN!" "I DON'T TALK TO FACES, ONLY TO FEET!"). There's a magical psychic princess who can sense ~*~destiny approaching~*~! And a guy named Iceman Hottie (rofl, Yuuchi Nakamura, you're gonna get typecast as a nutjob forever. "DESTROY DESTROY ~~SHOOOOOOOUNEN~~ DESTROY"). I totally, wholeheartedly recommend it if you like ridiculous anime about retards and things exploding.

Beards! I hate scraggly beards! Full beards are okay, but scraggly beards are absolutely the worst! If I have to shave my pits and legs, then guys had better fucking shave! Soul patches are hideous! Scruffy beards are hideous! Full beards are also bad but at least they aren't scruffy and weak! Basically -- I hate beards!
