It’s Bokurano meets School Days meets the Nice Boat in this cute l’il video titled “Boat no.” Using the Bokurano OP “Uninstall” and clips from all three shows, some poor bastard made this video:

Via SWFBlog.

So I finally managed to lay my eyes on the final episode of School Days, and yes, I see why they elected not to air it at first.

The moral of the story, for those who won’t bother watching it, is: DON’T FUCK WITH WOMEN. Women can fight back. ♥

I’ve been workin’ on the railroad non-anime type work today (I do have to, y’know, make money to pay my rent and whatnot), hence why it’s been so quiet here in spite of the MASSIVE amounts of news. So, here we go:

• Yasuo Fukuda is now Japan’s Prime Minister. He offered a Cabinet position to Taro Aso, who said something like “screw you bitchezzz I resign!” instead. So much for the “otaku Prime Minister,” eh?
• The makers of the School Days game are going to host a special screening of the anime adaptation’s finale, according to Canned Dogs, which would be cool except that people can only get in if they have an unopened copy of either the School Days or Summer Days game. Which is kind of retarded.
• The first promo image for the live-action Blood: The Last Vampire movie is now online, if not terrilby exciting. Twitch also has word of Asian Oscar contenders.
• Last but not least…well, no, it’s probably least. But anyway, TokyoGraph reports that UVERworld (who you probably recognize from Bleach soundtracks, and/or Blood+ and/or Terra E) is going to do the theme song for the new live-action TV adaptation of Moyoco Anno’s manga Hataraki Man.

I’ve got a commentary post I’m about to do, but I’ve also got more work and a meetup tonight, so sorry if you miss me ;o

Canned Dogs now says that Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai is now airing on TV Saitama, so yesterday’s dire predicament apparently did not lengthen the attack of the Nice Boat.

So now we can get back to our usual displays of gratuitious violence. WHEW!

Those crazy Japanese kids are at it again: according to Canned Dogs, a 15-year-old boy attempted to cut off his father’s head with an ax (though he apparently didn’t succeed; currently, the father is still alive).

The outlook for continued airings of Higurashi in the near future look considerably dim, as does the outlook for School Days‘ finale.

Dear children of Japan,

Quit trying to kill your freakin’ parents with axes. Or any other weapon, for that matter. Yeesh.

No love,

A few more items before I hit the proverbial hay:

Canned Dogs has more on the School Days finale cancellation: the show airing WAS cancelled due to the girl-killing-father-with-an-ax incident, and so far Chiba TV and TV Aichi have cancelled their airings to. Canned Dogs predicts that TeleTama won’t air it either (odd, since they’re airing button-pushing Kodomo no Jikan this fall), and ditto TV Osaka, which leaves only AT-X.

Could it be that this final episode will never actually air on TV? Guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Canned Dogs reports that the final episode of adventure game-turned-anime School Days was yanked off of TV Kanagawa at the last second and replaced with 30 minutes of photos. The blog suggests that the cancellation may be because of a recent incident in which a girl killed her father with an axe.

For those unaware, the School Days video game offers a number of “good endings” and “bad endings,” and the bad endings are pretty violent– generally involving the death of at least one main character; in one ending a spurned heroine slaughters the ‘winning’ heroine by taking a saw to her neck. Yipe.
