Thank you, Wikipedia, for salvaging my mark. Just, nobody tell my prof.
So today was the first day of anime panels in Ted-sensei's class! The first group talked about morality, justice, good versus evil, and awesome music in Death Note. By which I mean they showed the entire first episode, half of the twenty-fourth episode (the JUST AS PLANNED episode), and part of the twenty-eighth episode (in which Sayu is abducted). This was basically me the whole time:
DEATH NOTE, DEATH NOTE, I MISSED YOU SO. OH MY GOD I LOVE MIYANO MAMORU. OH MY GOD I LOVE TANIUCHI HIDEKI AND HIRANO YOSHIHISA. OH MY GOD I SERIOUSLY LOVE MADHOUSE. OH MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE DEATH NOTE SO MUCH.
This would be a really bad time to decide to rewatch Death Note, but it is very, very tempting. =/ It was super fun, though, because Robby (the girl in my panel group, super sweet and adorable, and we have a lot in common) was sitting next to me and had to lean over toward me to see the screen and I had to lean toward her for the same reason, so we were sitting two rows back, snuggled in, watching Death Note and giggling (quietly, of course) over Mamo. I HAVE FRIENDS HERE. IT FEELS SO NICE. =D
The other group kind of did some broad, vague talking about genres of anime and manga, and just showed clips from a bunch of different series.
Dragonball Z: I almost had to cram my hands in my mouth to keep myself from laughing my ass off the whole time. It was some fight, ridiculous as you'd expect, and I seriously loved the hell out of it. LAME SHOUNEN, HOW I ADORE YOU.
Gundam Wing: I'll admit I got a little uppitty about the girls behind me giggling shrilly over "sexy Zechsy", but the fact that everyone in the class laughed hysterically at Heero's "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I KILL THAT GIRL AND HER DOG?" was kind of awesome, in a sick, horrible way.
I My Me! Strawberry Eggs: As their example of shoujo, which confused the hell out of me, because... isn't it shounen? IDEK, guys.
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge: (I REFUSE TO CALL IT 'THE WALLFLOWER'.) I honestly have no idea why they showed it, actually.
What I learned from their presentation: The Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge dub is fucking awful.
Then one guy played a clip from some comedy variety show that ended with Tanaka Naoki having to touch a guy in a cow suit's nipples 1000 times. He looked like he wanted to cry the whole time. It... was pretty awesome, in the most fucked up 'OH JAPAN' way possible, yes.
Then I got to come back here and finish my essay, which I got done twenty minutes before marks would be taken off for lateness. FINISHED AT MACH SPEED, SO MANRY, ETC ETC, IDK too exhausted to do a proper Sousuke impression. *collapses*
