A sad day in Mayberry

I am sad to say that Don Knotts passed away yesterday. I wasn't even a thought in his heyday, but with the advent of sydication and TV Land, I got to see Don Knotts on The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company (HELLS YEAH!) and several movies. I always thought he was hilarious, one of the few that still works here and there that are still funny, along with Bob Newhart. Gonna miss him.

So I am completely in love with YouTube. Ever since MTV Japan and MTV UK changed to that shitty Flash/Windows Media Player bastardized hybrid rather than standard streaming video I have been unable to see videos from J-pop artists. That and I can't go to the store and ask for it because it's not normal to ask for Hikaru Utada at the local music shop. Makes you sound like a nerd, and nerds get spanked with moonrocks. On YouTube, there are fellow j-pop fans and I fit in. Now I know how the bumblebee girl in the Blind Melon video felt. Ayumi Hamasaki is familiar to anime fans as the singer of the 3rd ending of InuYasha (I wanna say ep47-60 something, but odds are I am wrong because I didnt watch it all the much) but I remember her for j-pop ballands and being...er...cute. And doing the ending for Chobits. God, I am beginning to hate myself for being such a damned nerd. This is the video for Evolution, probably my favorite song from her. I think its from Hack series, but i never watched a single episode of that show. Never seen the video either, so here it is. I'll watch it with you:



So, last night I stayed up to watch Full Metal Achemist. Its said, its on episode 48 (Goodbye) and there are only 3 more left. I saw the episodes a LOOOOONG time ago when I first found out about fansubs. I met someone on MIRC that traded FMA and Naruto for Escaflowne and Hikaru No Go with me. I miss those days. Needless to say, I am kind of excited to see the ending again and the voice of Ed has grown on me. Here is the second opening to FMA, Ready, Steady GO! L ARC~En~Ciel, fool! WHAT! Thanks to Zach for correcting me on the spelling, which is why I couldnt find there stuff for so damn long.



Kick the ass, guys. Kick the ass. Speaking of kicking ass, here are my two favorite anime opening themes EVER. Yes, EVER. First, Chobits:



And REC. You may have heard this on the Happy Fun Time section of my website. Good stuff, although episode three won't fucking download.



Would be a great series if not for the cat tree. Yes, the cat tree. Alight its still good but a cat tree? Okay this is the last one i swear. But I had to do it. Pani Poni Dash second opening. Hell yeah. It's no Shoujo Q, but it still toe-tapping fun.



Okay so I lied.But eh, big ups ya'self. Respect. I likes me julie to hab big babalons.
