Earlier I talked about various details of the new Slayers REVOLUTION anime, including mention of a mascot character named Pokota. Moetron provided the above image of the terrifying creature, and suggests that it’s appearing in the manga– but maybe not the anime.

In any case, yeah, I hope it either dies in a fire, or kills lots of people. Or is, y’know, really sarcastic and funny or something. Anything but adorable.

So, I never really followed up on this post, but because of it I learned of M.U.G.E.N., a video game engine people use to make their own fighting game characters. Then today a friend linked me to a video on niconico of our favorite mascots, Colonel Sanders and Donald McDonald, duking it out. I couldn’t find a copy on YouTube (curses!), so here is the video if you have a niconico account. (Donald wins, if you care but can’t watch.)

In the meantime, I did find THIS video: clearly the Colonel and Donald put aside their differences and unite to fight evil. And by evil, I mean Dragonball Z, Fist of the North Star, Fate/Stay Night, and a few other series.

Ran, ran, ruu, etc.
