In which Kat proves herself a total dork in something else.
So there's this thing...this series...this anime-fandom-meme-thingie. It was started in, oh God, 2005 or so? I've been into it for a long while, and with new episodes rolling out, I've been geeking over it.
What the hell am I talking about? Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. (As evidence by the title thread), and before MST3K came along, it was the thing I'd quote the most. I'm pretty sure most of us...half of us...some of us...remember Yu-Gi-Oh, which was the anime butchered and made more kid-friendly and revolved around adults playing a children's card game. Also, Egypt was involved. Anyway, this English guy named LittleKuriboh decided to abridge episodes and make it into a wonderful and loving parody.
The early episodes are a little rough, but by the fifth episode, it settles into place, and from there it just becomes more refined. The first one I watched was episode 14, so you really can just jump in any time you want. However, I'd recommend the newest one, since it's a recap episode and gives a nice summary of what the series is like. XD
Oh, but since YouTube is a dickweed, there's actually a whole website for the series, wherein you can watch all the episodes. I've ganked many a quote from this series, my avatar/status included.
"Welcome Pharaoh. I have something very important to tell you."
"Does it concern my handsomeness?!"
"No. I am Ishizu Ishtar, and I hold all the secrets to your past."
"You know the truth of my past? Then tell me! Who am I? Why am I here? And I why do I feel so very comfortable in leather?!"
"Thousands of years ago you defeated an ancient evil force that threatened to destroy the world. [...] And as for the leather pants, don't worry, it's just a phase you're going through. You'll soon grow out of it."
And if you want to get the joke about Trace being "the sexiest thing since sex", watch episode 22. Ah wait, hang on...
Warning. This episode contains copious amounts of Trace Beaulieu. Women with heart conditions are advised not to look directly at Trace Beaulieu. This also applies to women without heart conditions. He's very handsome. See? See how handsome he is? He's very handsome. I'd like to run my fingers through his hair, and I'm still jailbait! Anyways, without futher adieu, enjoy your crappy anime cartoon.
