I won't talk about Fate anymore until I'm finished with the whole game. (I like how visual novels have practically no difficulty to speak of.)
Let's instead talk about Funimation.
Shortly after I watched Darker Than Black, I also saw they had a few episodes of Kanon and Welcome to the NHK. However, at that time, they only had a few episodes up for those respective shows. Then, they started adding more episodes of NHK, eventually completing the series. Then they started uploaded another series called Baccano! I watched it; I liked it, but they only had four episodes when I first watched. I did tell people about it in the real world ("Hey Mom! I found a Japanese cartoon about New York gangsters from the 1930s! I never imagined that a Japanese animation studio would be interested in making such a series!") but I never wrote about it here, and I only wrote about in on myanimelist last night. They also have the OVA episodes of Baccano up now. And not only that, just today, I learned that they have Kanon (2006 for you otakus) up in its entirety now, not just the first four episodes.
However, they did not upload all of these episodes until I wrote about DTB on this blog. Then I wrote about the other shows they hosted, and all of a sudden, they started uploading more content. I can't imagine why; I'm not an otaku. My life does not revolve around Japanese pop culture. My favorite anime will probably always be Eureka Seven. Why am I even bothering with this stuff? Because they are generous enough to host it? No; that can't be it. Them uploading NHK, Baccano, and Kanon in full; that can't be a coincidence. This . . .
THIS IS A CONSPIRACY! A CONSPIRACY INITIATED, PROPAGATED, INSTIGATED, AND EXECUTED BY FUNIMATION ENTERTAINMENT! A CONSPIRACY TO TURN ME INTO AN ANIME OTAKU! THEY'VE BEEN READING THIS BLOG, I KNOW IT! THEY'VE GOT MICROPHONES INSTALLED IN MY HOUSE; HOW ELSE COULD THEY KNOW I WAS INTERESTED IN BACCANO!? THEY'RE TRYING TO TURN ME INTO AN OTAKU BECAUSE I HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM THAT MUCH MONEY! WAS BUYING TRINITY BLOOD AND THE FIRST SEASON OF SGT. FROG NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, YOU GREEDY BASTARDS!? AND I'LL REMIND YOU THAT I BOUGHT TB IN SINGLE PACKS, NOT THE BOXSET! I SPENT MORE MONEY ON TB THAN I SHOULD'VE! ARE YOU NOT SATISFIED!?!?!?
NOW LOOK AT ME! THEY GOT ME TALKING EXACTLY LIKE SATOU FROM WELCOME TO THE NHK! AND SINCE I REALIZED THAT MORE KANON WAS UP, I'VE BECOME ADDICTED TO THAT SHOW! MAKOTO, NAYUKI, AND AYU ARE SOOOOOOOO KEEEEE YEUUUUUUUUUUTE! AND I PLAN TO BUY REBUILD OF EVANGELION ON BLU-RAY! THEIR TREACHERY KNOWS NO BOUNDS!
guh!
No amount of cute girls and sharp writing can sway me! I will not succumb to the otaku side, like how so many of my brethren did during the First Otakulypse! I'm stronger than that! I am xm0123, not Asuka's husbando3146! I am a sane, rational man, not a frothing-at-the-mouth fanbaby!
Now that I think about it, I should update my list of cute anime girls again.
