Wai! manga about Ubuntu!

Well, I couldn’t let such reconciliation of my hobbies go uncommented, its not often that I get to have a post go simultaneously in the Ubuntu and Anime/Mange categories, its really nicely drawn as well.

Anime and Debian

Every once in a while, looking though my blog stats, I find some very weird searches hitting my blog, of the kind I cannot ignore (And therefore strive to ensure they keep hitting my blog), Today I found just such a search: “anime debian”.

Anime and Debian, hmm… unless I am failing to see a different meaning for the word Debian, this is indeed a weird combination, I can’t possibly think what the person who conducted the search expected it to yield.

It does ring a certain bell, I did remember seeing a picture of Debian-tan once, which is part if the “Linux-tan” series of characters, which is an attempt at a Linux-based response to the OS-tans.

Code Gaess: Lelouch of the Rebellion

Ok, so what do we have here:

• Mechas wrecking havoc in the city: Check.
• Mysterious girl to make her appearance in key event: Check.
• Motivated but self-doubtful teenage male characters to pilot the Mechas: Check.
• Main character mysteriously better at piloting Mechas then anyone else: Check.
• Long time friends find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict: Check.
• Super-Mecha to end all Mechas presented to the world: Check.
• Bad guy with vague morals and sexual orientation: Check

Cyrano de Bergerac is a girl! and her name is “The World”!

But really, other then that fun title-ish tidbit, I can’t find anything interesting about School Days.

After its description on AniDB as being based on a famously violent game caught my eyes, I sat down and watched the first three episodes of the series, thinking it may have an Elfen Lied kind of twist right around the corner.

But no, all I’ve seen so far was a rather stretched-out, kitschy, love story, and well, I’ve seen Kare Kano, this one doesn’t come close, nor does it manage to be funny.

So, another series down the drain, I’m starting to run out of ideas, anyone care to make a recommendation?

Not Gonna Watch Futakoi

While this series has a name that sounds like a promise for a rather hard-core Hentai series (In fact, I think I once came across a really “H” site named just that), in reality, Futakoi the series is a rather down-to-earth series in the Harem-Anime genre.

In fact, after having watched the first couple of episodes, I have to admit that the series is so down-to-earth that I can find little if any reason to watch it.

I admit I’m not very fond of the Harem-Anime genre, but in this case I think even avid fans of the genre will be hard-pressed to find anything special or interesting about the series, the twins element is supposed to make it interesting, but for me, it just seems like they were looking for an excuse to draw every female character twice…
