*looks at the disclaimer*

If I weren't lazy, I'd translate that. As it is, I get a vague sense of wrongness looking at it, but I can't brain Japanese right now.

I can't tell you how glad I am that you added the ^__^ to the About page, but didn't get rid of the zombie joke from last year.

"5M^_^'s Statement of BRAINS." I lol'd.

Yes. That was, um... yeah. I noticed that too late. Glad you enjoyed it.

There was a mistake in the T10 list as well -- I said "nanoprobes" a la Voyager instead of "nanomachines" a la Mai-Otome. To get the joke, either read up at Encyclopedia Dramatica (the nanomachines have become a meme) or watch the show, which is pretty good.

Good to see you, Neo! As you can see, this year's April Fool's event is underway the site has changed forever and ever. And ever. Anime till time stops!

It is better to light a single Google than to curse the darkness. The disclaimer is, of course, Mahoro's catch phrase.

Ach, man, ye should have jus' claimed it were intentional, and I'd ne'er been th' wiser.

Vague feeling of wrongness replaced by a strong one at the discovery that Zeke watches rom-com anime. Tell me it's because she's a robot, dude.

Though. I did like the Speed Racer joke. That is much more appropriate.

You would be well-advised not to assume I've actually watched anything I make references to during an April Fool's event event that launches a glorious new future for the site. Especially considering what the first fiver is gonna be...

That said, I am a Mahoromatic fan. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how I wound up watching it (which is something I can say about many animes), but obviously the robot thing got my attention. The characters kept it, though. I have no robot excuse for watching both seasons of Ai Yori Aoshi, so suffice to say I can enjoy a good harem show if it's got more entertainment than angst.

(Also, Mahoro's catch phrase is famous enough that I knew about it well before I watched the show.)

I sense a story here. And I want it told.
