Heading down to the Park...
So evidently Linkin Park will do an anime-style video and manga to their song "Breaking the Habit"

Wank Ensues, including obligitory Pokémon bashing, 'gay'-as-an-insult (and wank over that), and recurrent wank over something called Kid's Story.

Oh, and did I mention the side wank about the originality of modern music?

And it's just not anime wank without an required Gainax reference.

If it's the "Kid's Story" I'm thinking of, then it would be one of the short anime films made for the Animatrix. (In which we learn how Kid from Reloaded/Revolutions escaped from the Matrix.)

i've seen "Breaking the Habit" and the art really does look like it's from Kid's Story, which leads me to believe they hired the same animator.

My friends and I have also been wondering if it's the same animator that was used for the anime sequence in Kill Bill vol.1. Stylistically, they're very similar

According to the news item I saw about it, it is.

i saw BTH on a little blurry screen that i downloaded. i have no idea what could lead these people to think that Linkin Park isn't a boyband.

You know you're too much of a Azumanga fan when you see a cute kitten icon like that and think "Oh no! Sakaki is about to be attacked!!"

I used to be REALLY big for Pokemon. I still like it actually, I just don't watch it now(I got weary of the later seasons). I will always lurve it though. I even have the Rocket Dan "radio" drama cd set from Japan, with Musashi, Kojiro and Nyasu. It has their character sheets, some music, and a hardcover book.
If you've ever noticed anyone calling Jirarudan (from one of the movies) "Jiddy", that's because of me. One of my friends, Gyara, was mad about him and I made the nickname up as a joke, she picked it up from me and spread it about and it ended up catching. Oops. ;)

Um...yeah, I'm only Jirarudan's biggest fan...

Hi, I'm Blackjack Gabbiani. Perhaps she's mentioned me? (although I prefer "Jiri", myself)

I actually recognize your name, but I don't recall if it was because Gyara mentioned it or not. Were you ever a member of the TRHQ yahoo club & messageboard? If so then we might have run into each other there. :)

Oh, I have that CD drama too! Miki Shin'ichirou! <3 Koyasu Takehito! <3 In fact, I've got quite a bit of Japanese Pokemon stuff, including the Lugia DVD, so I can watch the proper version. The dub really does suck. >_<

Err... what was this wank about again?

*finds it intensely funny that you trash the dub whilst mentioning Shin'Ichiro, who is considered to not do nearly as good a job as Eric Stuart*

Who does Koyasu Takehito voice?

Why is this intensely funny? Because I have a different opinion to you? I don't know who all these people are that consider Eric Stuart to be doing a better job than Miki-san, and I don't have to agree with them either. Nor do a lot of actual seiyuu fans, as it happens. I would go as far to say that Eric Stuart is playing a different role altogether, as "James" and Kojirou are so different. Perhaps these people doing the judging don't have the same access to the raws?

Koyasu Takehito voices Mondo-kun in the CD drama mentioned above.

And you know you have read the Akira manga recently when you wonder: "Sakaki? Where are Mozu and Miki? Ah, they were killed..."

(Sakaki, Mozu and Miki are three medium girls who appeared in tome 6 of Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira. They were the disciples of Lady Miyako and die early before the first awakening of Akira's power in the present era).

coincidentally enough, you know that you're too much of a Linkin Park fan when you create a cute kitten icon to depict one member of the band stalking another.

As for the "omg linkin park iz a boy band it suxx0rs", you don't like the band, you can back off. Linkin Park happens to be my favorite band, and I didn't even know what any of the members looked like until I wantched the Numb music video.

Whoa, non sequitur much? "Back off, I liked their music before I even knew what they LOOKED LIKE!"

You don't have to be hot to be a boy band. Just ask 98 Degrees.

Or for any Australians reading this, think of that spectacularly crappy boy band Mercury 4. And I thought that being somewhat attractive was a prerequisite for being in a boy band, since musical ability most obviously isn't.

After N Sync and Backstreet Boys, I thought ugliness was a requirement for boy bands. It makes them seem more accessible to the girls that love them . . . or something.

/What's more, TOKYOPOP informs us that the DVD release of the video will include a "mini-music-manga" that they have produced for Linkin Park./

Tokyopop? The most tolerable US publisher of Shoujo Tokyopop?

They're going to all end up secretly shagging each other (and openly in the Remix), or turn into fluffy animals when tackled by groupies. If they're lucky.

Never ever ever give your life to a shoujo artist to manage. You're just asking to be spattered with warm bodily fluids, and they won't let you like it.

*mad laughter* Mike/Chester will be acceptable, with whatever LP couples you are fond of.

Uh, I mean, that's interesting.

I seriously don't know why these people are making such a damn ruckus over that. I don't like the band myself but I could care less if they make anime and manga. Hell, I hope they enjoy it! I know I would if I was having anime/manga made of me! :P

It figures that the only band I admit to liking gets wanked for doing something cool.

Ah, well. *blasteds LP music in honor of new video*
