It's been a couple months...

so it's time for a new

PIMP MY CANON MEME


Levi, explain.

This is the PIMP MY CANON meme, where you have the opportunity to show off your canon and perhaps even find a new one to get into!

On the flip side, ask about something that interests you! Want to know where you even begin with Homestuck or why it's called a Keyblade when it is very clearly a blunt object? Here is the place to ask!

How do I pimp my canon?

First of all, it's PIMP MY CANON (caps, color, and bolding not optional), and second, do so in whatever ways you deem fit. Write summaries, link videos, screenshots, fanart, playthroughs, whatever you want! Add on to your friend's comments with additional stuff of your own!

The only thing I ask is that you not put too many large images in your post and link to videos rather than embed them. This is so the page doesn't take for-freaking-ever to load and doesn't become inaccessible due to oversaturation of gifs and stuff.

You may also want to keep spoilers to a minimum, but that's your call.

Also make sure your coding works, because nothing sucks more than making a totally awesome ad for your canon only to have a missing bold tag mess it all up. But then again, we all have comment editing now, don't we?

Sway, to and fro, sway!

Do you like any or all of the following:

- Mecha?
- Demons?
- CGI?
- The Yakuza?
- Canons that run on Rule of Cool?
- Short canons?

Then you might be interested in Karas!


Made for Tatsunoko Productions' 40th anniversary, Karas is a 6 episode OVA that follows Yosuke Otoha as he fights the former Karas (protector) of his city who is now fucking up all the things.

It has some extremely awesome fights, but unfortunately some of the plotlines don't end up resolving. Still, it's a solid story, and one that leaves a lot open to interpretation.

... There is a decent amount of gore, and one Eye Scream moment, so if that bothers you, you might want to skip it.

The eternal question: Sub vs. Dub?

First of all I hate this question, but it comes up anyway. They both have their good and bad points, but I will say that the English dub is very good and the bad guy is played by the guy who was Shaggy in the live action Scooby Doo movies I kid you not.

Dubbed version is here. (The guy calls the first half of the OVA K.A.R.A.S. for some reason. Revelation is the second half of the OVA.)

Subbed version is here.

You too? My god, I have to find a way to express how much I love Karas to you. That anime was the BEST THING I ever seen Studio Tatsunoko do.

In the butt?

And the lack of backstory sort of stuff is a problem I think?
