Keijo!!!!!!!!: Weaponized Sexiness

- June 11, 2018

People that describe Keijo as "just a fanservice show" or anything similar to that, don't seem to understand the point of fanservice. It's been almost two years since the show aired and people still don't get it. With Keijo it's like someone hears a joke, doesn't get the setup or punchline, and then heckles the comedian and audience. Keijo is the titular water sport where girls stand on a small floating arena and compete against one another. The aim is to push the other contestant off of the arena into the water, but players are forbidden to use their limbs. They are only allowed to use their hips and chests to fight. However, they are freed to launch their attack to any body parts of their opponents, including their opponent's face and vital points. Now don't get me wrong, the characters in Keijo are very, very sexy but what makes the series not fanservice is in the the way the girls frame and discuss their body parts. The cast of Keijo ...

Day 2 - Favorite Anime You've Watched So Far

- June 02, 2018

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 To be specific, this is my favorite anime I've watched so far this year, as I don't have a favorite anime of all time. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is the 2012 remake of a science-fiction anime from the 70's knows as Space Battleship Yamato and released in the US as Star Blazers.

Voyager, the company who licensed the original series was basically sitting on the rights to this remake, only releasing 16 episodes across 4 DVDs and doing nothing else. Once the DVDs went out of print the only way the watch the anime was to go on illegal sites. So for Funimation and Crunchyroll to not only stream the anime, but also provide a home video release and license the sequel Yamato 2202 almost felt like a miracle. Now as for the show itself, Yamato 2199 is the ...

Corin Hemphill Entry #1 9/11/2014 Why am I taking this course? I could keep it short and sweet and just say this is a required class for my major; but to be honest I did purposefully choose Intro to Mass Comm. I am a Mass Communications major who has no idea what to concentrate in. I chose this major so I could take German, theater, political science, and only have two math classes for freshman year and none after. I was a student who chose a major with no intention of doing anything with it. How am I supposed to apply what I learn to my future, if I know nothing if my field? This is the very first blog entry I have ever made. It is a new experience and I'm positive that I'll continue to use it after this semester. The purpose of a blog is for a person to share their thoughts and opinions on various subjects. It's safe to assume that using a blog will get my feet wet for any journalism I plan to do in the future. I can take full advantage of my assigned blog entries...
