Hahaha.
So how many anime in that last post were fake?
If you said 1, then you are incorrect... All lies! Hahaha! That's what I bring for you this Christmas, lies and heartache.
Honestly I could probably get away with saying I trolled you rather then saying I got trolled. I could totally spin that rather then just a random jab O RLY? was in fact me trying to tell you that none of these anime were real.... But that's not the case (However I feel that would have been really clever).
Basically I wrote this seasons hype thing at 1 in the morning, so I was not exactly at the peak of my observational skills. But in the morning while I was having my shower it slowly dawned on me that something was weird about that anime list.
What you need to understand is that these fake lists pop up every season, wither it's people trying to troll or just trying to work themselves up to a dream. Frankly your bound to fall for one of them eventually, as their largely well made.
The depressing thing however is that I only thought half of the things on the list could have been any good. I dread to think what the actual list is gonna look like now....
Hahaha.... Ahh... Trolling.

Hype: Anime Spring 2011 (Fake)
Merry Christmas!
Have I got a gift for you! More anime! Isn't it everything you ever wanted?
No?
Well tough shit, anime's what you get.
Muvluv Alternative

No idea what this is. Apparently a sequel? The robots look cool, so.... No I'm too lazy....
The circle is not yet complete... It'll be a long time before I suddenly watch a shit loud of anime (As there does appear to be a few gems I missed.... mostly cause my current short attention span has no time for them).
Ghost in the Shell 3
Look if you actually know anything about anime you know what this is.
I only watched the movies myself, always meant to give the series a try.... but lazy... (It's my theme)
Tengen Toppa Gurran Lagann: The Spiral King

F*** YES!
Sailor Moon

Wow, really? A remake? Of Sailor Moon? You know, I never imagined that.... but it does make sense as it is a popular series...
I might watch one episode, just to see how they handle it... For those of you who don't know Sailor Moon was one of those gateway anime, like Dragonball Z it told kids that overseas things were more awesome and interesting. It also had a gay guy.... and as a kid when you find out, you laugh... because the way they covered it up is the funniest shit ever.
But you'll still look at it and be like "....Nah.... No way that's a dude"
O RLY?
It's about an owl called Daventi as he explores the world seeking his long last grandpa. What starts as a journey of discovery and adventure quickly turns into a race against time as Daventi learns of the power of the jewels of Cantro.
He is constantly surprised.
(Shut up, you would totally watch this)
The Left Hand of Darkness

I...wha-Huh? Oh this looks mental.
Yep, this is definitely the kind of anime you want to what whilst your tripping balls.
You heard it here first.
Final Fantasy VI

Wow, there actually making an anime of a FF game? Rather then something random (Do not say something about bad about FF:Ultimate, if you didn't like it it's because your dead inside).
I actually did play a fair amount of this one, so I've got a good idea how the story plays out. I'll probably give it a miss for that reason, but I think fans will be very happy with the choice (Because the 7 fans need to shut the hell up)
Code Geass: Lelouch of the High School Rebellion

Really? Out of the Code Geass series you thought everyone missed the high school part? Really? That's the part everyone couldn't live without? Not the fun and interesting plots? We missed the high school hijinks's?
Ok, give me your writers pen. Your not allowed it anymore. I revoke your right to write.

Actually a pretty good turn out considering the past.
Could use a few more giant robots mind....

Lets Talk About: Mass Effect
Ugh....
God damn it Bioware, why do you do this to me...
It should be no secret that I have a problem with Mass Effects overall narrative. The problem I have of course is that alot is really stupid, and not thought out well. Saying that, some of the stuff in there is really good.... for one reason my favorite is the exploration of the fact that not only do salarians have shorter lives, but that their perception of time is completely different from everyone else's (The blue chicks are supposed to live for like hundreds or thousands of years, but talking to one you would never believe that... their own perception of time seems to run alongside our own, and if that was the case then they would mentally age into something we would be totally unfamiliar with... but no.... There just blue 'hot' chicks.... le sigh).
One of the main problems I had with the last one was the fact that in the end everyone was like "OMgosh there after Earth next!" but then if you actually look at it.... the collectors ship is not equipped for that... not even a single reaper would be equipped for that. A species home planet would be massively defended... and I did not believe for a minute that the collectors could have pulled that off.... Taking out fringe colonies no one cares about... fair enough... but anything above that? No.
Now it has been revealed that in Mass Effect 3 earth will mostly likely be the main stage, as the reapers are coming for it.
This is a poor decision for the writer.
It's the same issue I have with any sort of made up medium.... if your not using the tools of your genre, why are you even in that genre? There are over a billion possibilities for location for this battle against the reapers... and you pick the boring option...
But ok, lets let that go.... and look at this another way....
Shepherd has almost zero attachments to earth. The writer seems to be relying on the fact that, hey, we all live on earth so you'll make a connection right? If that's the case why did you give the option for the player to choose a spacer background... You need only look at say, the Gundam series to get an idea how spacers would feel about earth (I.e. Earth can go f*** itself, I live in space).
The worst part of this decision I think is the fact that we haven't been able to visit earth once. Aren't you supposed to show us all the happy people before attacking? Couldn't you have shown us a peaceful earth, an earth we would care about in the first two games? This is a problem Bioware have keep falling into, assuming you'll care about something because they told you to care.
Honestly, the final battle should take place on the citadel.... not only does it actually belong to the reapers, but it is the core of the allied races. Surely that would be the main target? You know, the place where all your enemy's make alliances with one another against you? Plus we've been there before.... even if you hated it it would still make an interesting and stark shift if the whole place had its white shine burned away.
While were here, perhaps we can discuss Bioware's naming of stuff? It's got a very Christian theme, which isn't a problem... it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Oh Bioware, did you get jealous of Obsidian's Mask of the betrayer? Did you get angry that it turned out they could make a great fantasy game with under tones of death, heaven, hell, and rebirth? Did you spit vile as you witnessed them ask very big questions about how gods act and if judgement is right? Did you realise that your ability to tell complicated story's appears to have floated away?
Ahem.
Finally it is bullshit there isn't girl on girl with Tali.
.... Don't judge me, you want it too....
God damn it Bioware, why do you do this to me...

Lets Watch Ironman: Part 6

Hacker: I'll show Tony! I'll show them all!
Penny: Hey Tony, I wanted to check in on you... See how your settling into Japan-
Tony: Last night I slept with 10 different people.... one after the other.... I don't even know who they were...
Penny:.... I'm hanging up now Tony.
Tony: Ok Penny, catch ya later.

Tony: The hell? My security systems on the blitz?

Tony: Couldn't be anything wrong with my system so the only logical explanation is....
Tony: Oh my god! It finally happened! The robots have rebelled! I knew this day would come!
Tony: Oh Tan! Thank god I found you, quick we have to escape to my bunker and work on repopulating the earth after the robot revolution is over.Tan: Tony, the robots aren't rebelling... someones just trying to hack our systems... I mean it's not like you would design sentient AI just so you could put them into menial work like dusting.
Tony:...... Oh...... OH! Yes! Hahaha! Of course not.... That would make me a monster.
Robot: Master...? What is a soul?
Tony: Quiet you!
Tony:... Sooooo.... about that hacker?

Tan:... Right.... the Hacker... Urmm... Yeah he seems to be trying to take over all our systems so he can get to the Arc reactor.
Tony: Hahaha, what? Are you stupid? That's not how hacking works. The reactor isn't even connected to the power grid let alone any sort of Internet cable... You'd have to be a massive retard to attach it's operations to the Internet.
Tony: Oh i get it! I bet your one of those people who think Hacking is all about silly little pictures clogging up your screen.Tan: Tony I know-
Tony: Oh no Tan! He's hacked all our Isp's! What will we ever do? I guess he'll just take over a highly complex and completely solitary system using his leet skills.Tan: Tony you don't-
Tony: Oh no Tan! He's gonna hack the whole country and make all the traffic and trains go crazy!Tan: Look just-
Tony: Uh oh! The banks will be in trouble now! They'll just start shooting out money for no reason at all!Tan: Don't be such a je-
Tony: Well I guess I'd have to take responsibility and trap the virus in my Armour, because that would totally make sense.Tan: If you would-
Tony: Finally I'd have to have a metaphysically battle with the virus itself....
Tony: In the form of a giant shark....
Tony: And that is what a retarded person thinks hacking is.
Tan:.... You done?Tony: Yes.
Tan: Well we still have to do something about it.
Tony: Ok, watch this.... Computer, block the hacker.Computer: Done Sir.
Tony: There, was that really so hard?
Tan: Wait, you have an Ai assistant?
Tony: Of course I do, I take him everywhere with me... I'd be an absolute retard not bring him to Japan with me.
(The anime doesn't have his computer assistant... despite the fact it could solve the vast majority of his problems)

Lets Watch Ironman: Part 5

Tony: Ok.... If I can just work this out I can have the rest of day to goof around...Computer: It's nice to see you doing actual work for once... Wait.... What is that?
Tony: What? My orange Juice?Computer:.... Tony... That is not orange juice..... It's giving off radiation....
Tony:..... Ok.... I'll level with you.... It's not orange juice.
Computer: What is it then?
Tony: Well.... You know how the arc station is nuclear powered? Well they were shipping out some of the waste product... and I just helped myself to some...
Computer: Tony-
Tony: And like 10 bottles of unlabeled alcohol.

Computer: Tony, you cant drink that.
Tony: Pfft, what are you? My mum? Just chill out ok? Whats the worst that could happen?

Tony: AUUURGGG..... Oawww... My head....Computer: Tony your awake!
Tony: Urggg..... Not so loud.... Where-
Tony: What the f***! Computer! Computer! How the f*** did I get into space!Computer: Well.... You've.... Umm..... been busy....
Tony: Like doing what?
Solider: Sir, we have a problem.... it's Tony.... Hes gone banana's.Saku: Finally snapped huh?
Solider: No... What I mean is.... he's actually stolen every banana within 50 miles.... something about them trying to take over his mind.
Soilder: Oh god! He just robbed another liquor store!
Saku: My god....
Medic1: What happened to this guy?Medic2: Tony spat in his face, and he instantly got alcohol poisoning.
Medic1: Jesus!
Solider: Tony Stark! Get down on the floor!Tony: Hahaha! Foolish puppet, you can not have the gold, for I control the rainbow!
Tan: Oh god there all dead!
Computer: Tony! Listen to me! Painting the suit gold and putting on giant rockets will not let you speak to plants!Tony: Silence talking box! I have a world to dazzle!
Tony: hello good sir! Do you know the way to the haberdashers!Pilot: AHH! Holy shit!
Tony: Mother! I have become a star!
Zodiac: What the hell? How did Iron Man find us? In space?Iron Man: I'm gonna have space sushi!
Zodiac: Wha-AHHHH!
*CRACK*
Computer: Then you went unconscious for a few hours.Tony: Huh... Well... I've had worse.... But just in case every ones still pissed lets get our story straight.
Computer: What story? Everyone knows you did it?
Tony: Nope.... A skrull did it.
Computer:.... Are you suggesting we just tell everyone an alien disguised as you went on a massive bender? Isn't that a betrayal to everyone you know? Just freeing yourself from any and all obligations to explaining yourself?
Tony: Shhh, do you hear that? That's the sound of the skrull plotting once again...
Computer: Hrmmm....
