How's it going my gumdrops? Since
Halloween will soon be approaching, today, I have the pilot episode of
the Hell Girl Anime.
Do you remember, when I reviewed this Shojo Horror Mystery Anime earlier this March?
If not, you still have plenty of time to watch and learn about this creepy series. It mostly focuses on REVENGE, but comes with a DOUBLE edged sword, so to say.
In case you missed my Horror Anime Review, you can learn more about Hell Girl by reading about the Shojo in the link below.
How's it going my gumdrops? OMG! 2 weeks ago, I joined Adult Swim's forum.
By no means am I stranger to belonging to a forum. Not that I was expecting a
welcoming committee, but the posters on that forum are fucking
ridiculous.
Posters of that ilk validate my reasons for NOT uploading a forum (by using
an app) to It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. Adult
Swim's posters are just as rude and obnoxious as rude YouTube posters.
The posters nitpick
the shit out of the most trivial bullshit, are EXTREMELY hateful, and judgmental
of people they just meet.
Some Adult Swim posters have been
civil and welcoming. The rest are
rude, antagonistic, accusatory (some accused me of being a troll),
pompous ass posters. There is 1 poster in
particular, who is a complete know-it-all. I was informed that he was
banned numerous times for his douchebaggery.
He has the
tendency to be condescending and act like he is putting posters in their
places YET he does NOT know the difference between "then" and "than" in
a sentence.
It's "rather THAN." NOT "rather then."
While
that same poster is so busy trying to "challenge" other posters, he
should challenge himself by studying Basic English. Here is where it
gets better: He automatically assumed, that...
1) I had nothing else better to do or watch than Adult Swim.
2)
I was "throwing tantrums" and happen to be "more sexist" than I claim
both Cartoon Network and Adult Swim to be with my opposing views.
3) He went as far as to drag Barbie into an argument out of thin air.
Wow!
Seriously? Talk about a major joke. It is a good thing I was unallowed
to use Cristina Scabbia's (from Lacuna Coil) doll as my avatar.
I always
love whenever people declare a war on Barbie. Being
female and liking anything with feminine qualities is blasphemous!
The
female gender is forbidden from having beauty, brains, goals,
accomplishments, a career, etc.
Considering that I am "sexist" and all,
why is that same dipshit posting in my thread?
Obviously,
he is someone without a life of his own, if all he can do is instigate
with everyone. That trollish poster is like a terrible rash, that won't
leave.
Last night, there was another instigator in
my Adult Swim thread. She psychoanalyzed and nitpicked my username. What a bitch.
My username served no relevance to the discussion I was trying to have with other
posters.
This included her assumptions, that I
didn't think the female audience should watch Shonen and Seinen Action
Anime.
I had already addressed this issue in a previous thread, but some
continue to misunderstand.
I NEVER said I had
anything against the female audience watching Shonen and Seinen Action
Anime. I have watched my fair share as a woman.
However, watching Anime
specifically meant for the female audience would be a nice break from
always watching male-centric Anime.
Shonen and
Seinen Action Anime are specifically for the male audience. I feel some
Shojo and Josei Anime titles should be added to Adult Swim.
In addition
to the last topic, I mentioned that having the "Toonami" branding on
Adult Swim, limits the Anime genre to only Action Animation.
Anime
in Japan is NOT limited to Shonen and Seinen Action yet in America,
this is the only gender demographic Anime companies want to market, which is
specifically meant for the male audience.
Basically, companies marketing Anime in America is a Boys Only Club and purposely want to pander to Incels.
Shojo and
Josei Anime supposedly do poorly in American sales. I believe this is
because the female audience is barely acknowledged. Also, some male Anime viewers REGARDLESS of their sexual orientationDO watch Shojo and Josei Anime.
American
companies and the media with their political propaganda brainwashed
American Anime fans into believing, that everything is "gender neutral."
In reality, everything is NOT "gender neutral."
We are watching Japanese Entertainment, which belongs to Japan and is a part of Japan's culture.
They
are labeled Shonen, Seinen, Shojo, and Josei for specific reasons.
Shonen and Seinen Anime are specifically meant for the male audience.
Shojo
and Josei Anime are specifically meant for the female audience.
Although,
it's not like heterosexual males and females as well as the GLBT
community don't watch each others Anime besides Shonen and Seinen
Action.
Speaking of Seinen Action Anime, 2
weeks ago, 1 male poster complained about Black Lagoon. The series is
specifically meant for men, but it mostly has women as leading
characters in a male Action Anime.
I love watching Black Lagoon
regardless of the characters' genders and regardless of its gender demographic.
After the
Hellsing Ultimate OVA's premiere next month on Swimnami, he will most
likely complain about Sir Integra and Seras Victoria. Those are 2 female
characters with leading roles in Hellsing.
Hellsing Ultimate OVA Trailer (2014)
Hellsing Ultimate happens to be another Seinen Action Anime, which is
Black Lagoon's replacement. The Hellsing franchise is Seinen Horror
Action.
Overall, my main point is that Shonen and Seinen Action fans are not the only Anime demographics in existence.
There
are Comedy, Romance, Mystery, Supernatural, Horror, etc. Anime for both
genders. People with little knowledge about Anime only know what the
networks expose them to on TV. They are mostly exposed to Shonen Action.
I
understand why Adult Swim's forum has such a high turnover with posters
in general.
The slightest topic about anything gets derailed into an
argument and veteran posters are notorious for running away new posters.
Who wants to deal with that unnecessary division and dysfunction?
I have too many things to do in very little time. I thought it would be fun to join another entertainment forum again, but apparently I was wrong.
How's it going my gumdrops? This Cartoon Sunday, I thought I would
share something a little different in regards to animation. In other words, sharing a classic Hip-Hop webtoon from Bullseye Art, Ltd.
Most of you will probably dislike these webisodes,
but I'm still sharing them anyway.
On Thursday, my youngest aunt and I laughed
as we reminisced about an old webtoon called, Miss Muffy And The Muff
Mob.
We only knew about the short because an old college
friend of hers e-mailed it to her back in 2000 from Netscape.
Now that I
think about it, I was still a high school student in 2000. We
were introduced to the webtoon's 3rd webisode and were shocked by
its adult content.
Miss Muffy And The Muff Mob reminded me of a Hip-Hop animated version of the Cherry Merry Muffin dolls circa
late '80s to early '90s.
Cherry Merry Muffin Dolls Commercial (1988)
Talk about late '80s and early '90s nostalgia. The Cherry Merry Muffin
dolls were actually similar to the original Strawberry Shortcake dolls.
Compared
to the Strawberry Shortcake franchise, the Cherry Merry Muffin franchise
lacked ethnic diversity.
Growing up, I never had the
actual Cherry Merry Muffin doll. However, Chocolottie and Betty Berry
(which were featured in the original commercial above) were both my
Christmas presents, 1 year.
I remember Betty Berry
having a noxious odor. She nauseated me with her putrid stench. I never
thought the smell of blueberries could make me feel so queasy.
Meanwhile,
adult animation increased throughout the late '90s and early 21st
Century.
Before the launching of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in 2001, some adult animation premiered on local and cable channels as well as streamed online.
During the late '90s and early 21st Century, adult
animation was too controversial to be shown on TV and was normally
canceled.
When adult animation wasn't soon to be canceled on local networks during that time, those cartoons were soon aired on cable/satellite
channels if not bought on DVD and/or streamed online.
Nowadays, we can't help
watching controversial adult animation on local, basic cable, and
satellite channels, as well as streamed online.
Like I already said, we were introduced to the 3rd webisode of Miss
Muffy And The Muff Mob, 14 years ago. I never watched the entire series,
until 3 days ago. It's amazing that it only had 5 webisodes and 2 music
videos.
This classic Hip-Hop webtoon featured Miss
Muffy and her "Muff Mob." Her "Muff Mob" consisted of Betty Bundt Cake,
Patty Pound Cake, Cinama Buns, and Keisha Corn Bread.
Who had the most ghetto name? Cinama Buns or Keisha Corn Bread? You decide.
Since there were only 5 webisodes, here is the webtoon Miss Muffy And The Muff Mob.
