K-ON! Season 2!
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.31 – 10:07 -
K-ON! season 2 has been announced!!! My friend sent me an email saying “Check the K-ON! official site!!!” And there it is. Season 2 is confirmed!
This is fantastic. K-ON! was pretty much the highlight of 2009. Although second seasons are fairly rare for any Japanese story based television show in general, Kyoto Animation has done second seasons before, so it’s not all that unexpected. But not exactly expected either!
I’m super happy. NicoNicoDouga is abuzz as well:

2009 Kohaku Red and White Music Festival Preview
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.29 – 10:29 -
The 60th annual 紅白 (Kohaku) is coming in just a few days! I have assembled all of the songs that have been confirmed on the official website so you can review any ones you may not know and enjoy them during the actual show. They are embedded in a playlist above.
As for how to watch the actual show, check your local Japanese television channel’s listing. In Japan, it will be on NHK, BShi, BS2, and ラジオ第１ (Radio #1). In LA, channel 18.2 is broadcasting it New Year’s Eve at 18:45 (6:45pm) local time. If you don’t have a local Japanese channel, keep an eye on d-addicts or watch Keyhole TV at 10:15 UTC on Dec. 31st.
If you don’t have time for all those, here is ヒャダイン (Hyadain) sang a little of all these songs in 6 minutes! Hyadain is awesome since he sings both male and female parts. Enjoy!

Buddhist Christmas
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.25 – 09:13 -What happens when Santa is seen as a Bodhisattva by a NicoDou obsessed monk?
This is very, very odd. It’s a Buddhist Christmas Service. But, I’m completely on board. Oh, Great Santa-sama! Please free me of worldly ties by giving me presents… wait, that’s not right. Maybe he really gives presents to Christians as a punishment for being attached to the world?
Anyway, this is definitely 6 of the weirdest minutes you’ll spend this Christmas.

Mario Hardcore
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.15 – 00:37 -
Nekoshowgun drew these amazing paintings of Mario Bros. characters. They are harder core than the center of a super massive diamond. I think the one of Luigi is my favorite.
They are available for download as a big ass zip file (nearly 14MB).
This guy has also done Anpanman characters is his characteristic style. Imagine all cartoons done in Street Fighter IV style…

Gomen ne no Hi
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.09 – 07:00 -
Did you know that Dec. 10th is 「ごめんねの日」 (gomen ne no hi)? So while you watch the beautiful women of 謝り美人 (Ayamari Bijin), think about what you need to repent for!
I have a feeling this has to be connected to the 美人時計…

Shin Yamato Damacy Ep. 5 – Obama
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.08 – 23:12 -
The best episode yet. BakaDaruku and new member David (Obama???) head out to 高崎 (Takasaki) looking to speak with them about US/Japan relations.
I think I like this episode the best since it really reminds me of the good ol’ YD feel. I mean, talking to チンピラ (chimpira) and 女子高生 (joshi kousei) was all we ever did. However, I don’t think either BakaDaruku nor David were nearly drunk enough.
Fantastic. Check out the new SYD channel!

Kaiguys Shuzo The Return
Written by Jeshii on 2009.12.08 – 02:08 -We made another 海外ズ (Kaiguys) video:
It isn’t getting nearly as many views as the last one (it’s at something like 1% of the old one), but there is already a MAD someone made:
I love it. Even if our videos got no views, enriching the MAD world makes me happy.
In other news, みすとん made a 海外ズ community!
