Out of boredom, I've decided to document my adventures of watching an anime, detailing scenes/thoughts/etc whilst watching the show.  Note that I don't mean to put down fans of this show or whatever, it's just what I'm thinking whilst watching the thing.

Why would you read this thing?  I don't know really.  I guess it could be a quick show of some of the highlights, but then, you might as well just watch the episode instead.

I'll be watching Asobi ni Iku Yo, first episode (AF release).
I have no idea what this show is about, and my Japanese knowledge isn't good enough to figure out anything from the title, so, here goes.

---

Black screen with female voice: "I was created with the purpose of making friendly contact with aliens"
Hmm, girl with supernatural powers show?


Looks like some android?


...so wee have some news report about seeing UFOs.  Strangely reminds me of the Kashimashi situation.

Female reporter: "commonly known as IT World"
IT world, yeah, it's scary, ya'know, like all those fatso IT nerds comming after you...


^ Shown whilst reporter is making announcement.  Looks like penguins wearing nightwear with some of those scrolling text, except the TV station fails at transparency.



Aww how cute.


Male voice: "It's a trap!"
How could "wee've come to play" be a trap?


So now wee move to an action scene with stirring music, storms and a bunch of guys firing machine guns at something.
Oh, yeah, the sky's black - it has to be.  Clearly there's evil around.



Whilst those guys are firing away, wee are watching that girl strip...



No spoon dude.  You can like hear all the gunshots.  Surely you don't need binoculars to see random flashes of light in the distance?



Ha!  That's what you get for speaking about being shot rather than retaliating.



This guy has a devious plan to fight back...
/prepares popcorn



I thought it should be "an RPG", though I agree that English with its rules of "an before a vowel" is confusing.
Anyway, if you guys don't hurry up, you'll get nukes fired at you before you can say it...


Female from earlier: "I'm going out there"
I knew it, some super duper cyborg.


ORLY?


Male that girl is speaking to: "There will be casualties whether or not you act"
^ I like this guy already.

Girl: "I already know who's going to die"
Why did they ever invent human modelling techniques in androids?


Now freak girl is undergoing her magical transformation.  Will it be colourful and flashy?  Or will it be bland and boring?  I'm betting on the latter.



Maybe I should've gone with the former...



Whoa!  Check out those power cords!  I guess scientists never found out a way to get around the law of conservation of energy...



Noo!  You're losing power!



Is it me, or does that resemble something in Elfen Lied?



Check out the Jap version of Charles Angels.



I'd hate to be that dude wearing that raincoat on the receiving end of that...



Ooh, in the nuts!



Stealth mode!



If she can kill all those other guys without a gun, clearly being immune to bullets, why does she need a gun anyway?
Besides, wasn't she afraid that there'd be casualties?



So she kills 3 guys, and goes up some stairs.  What happened to stealthily going up the stairs instead?



...



Oh shi, the detonator didn't work :(
(check your hardware before you rely on it dude)



She doesn't kill him with the gun she was just holding.  I declare that she is a show-off.



What?  That magic was to summon two pistols?



(ship got hit by something)
What's with people in this show taking too long to take action?



Uhh...  I thought that thing didn't work?
Still, wouldn't have happened if the girl just bloody shot the guy.  If she can knock out the detonator with a pistol (having the time to summon it), she shouldn't have issues hitting the guy...

---

So now wee move to a completely unrelated story...



BOOZE!



...by this guy?  Seriously he can't be drinking that...  Must be his drunk sisters.



I didn't think he was the one drinking all that.



This guy gets drunk easily.  I must say, the supposed protagonist? knows people well.



Oh ya, Japan actually care about that stuff...  Pooey


Guy with red shirt: "Got a girlfriend yet?"
White shirt nerd: "That's still impossible" unfortunately, the stereotypes are against you, but well, it's obvious where this show is going...  Just don't fall in love with that crazy cyborg bitch, okay?
Red shirt dude: "That won't do! You can have sex when you're an adult; but that nervous feeling you get from just holding hands is something you can only enjoy now." why can't you enjoy both? oh yeah, Japanese people respect age laws.  Pooey


So he picks the long haired girl with cat ears.  He must watch furry hershey kisses.



I must say, those are an amazing pair though.  It doesn't even look like a wig.
Oh, and they move.  That's creepy.



*sigh* and I'd thought they were going to leave out the tail.



I'm with the guy on the right.  Just move away from that creepy guy offering the daughter of a car-man experiment an alcoholic drink...



...



No wonder this guy is a nerd.  He goes and breaks up the fun.



But you haven't drank anything yet.



Lettice and rice cake.



Although she's referring to the food, I'm more interested in the "subtle" connection they're trying to make here.



Is that tail a strapon?



Please don't misunderstand the context here.  He is clearly bowing for formality reasons.  There are no sexual references to worry about.



This guy obviously doesn't understand the context talked about above.



She doesn't either.



Naughty...  Sex will ensue.



Like that other guy, this dude gets drunk easily.



Aww, he wakes up but there's no catgirl beside him.



No doubt, this guy has a clear preference to non-human objects.



O_O  I take back my prediction earlier.



Always the first place to touch.



It's the catgirl's boner.



Whacky devices - she must be that crazy cyborg.
Oh noes.



I don't even know how to respond to that.



There's the 2nd girl.  Where's the 3rd?



If I said "under your bed", I'd probably be right 80% of the time.



I saw them.  Do I win 10 points?



Cause it's a freaking anime.



Girl no #3, but she's... not really a young girl...



Pairs aren't huge.



Oh dear.

Okay, I'm not so bored anymore.  This sucks.  Maybe I should've tried this with something like Naruto instead.

First comment, before I start reading...

Use less PNG, use more JPG.  Wasting is bad!

Exactly, wasting quality is bad.
Besides, those PNGs are KZIP optimised.

Except if you did it with Naruto, you'd never finish it (if you really plan to finish this one, I reckon it's an alright anime so far)
I have some 13 to 26 episode animes I got bored of if you want to try it with those instead (which I think you'll likely pass up anyway)

Yeah, this show looks alright.  I just wanted to see what it would be like trying to document one's thoughts whilst watching something.

i think people do that sometimes. not sure where though.

Got to love that catgirls face <3

Okay, maybe it's just the episode of this anime I'm watching, but now I'm getting a bit bored of it.
