Now I Guess I'm a Sadistic Freak

But we'll get to that later. There are some spoilers in this blog I guess. But I doubt you'll care too much as you probably haven't heard of it.

So, here's a perfectly normal non-game oriented blog. First off, I'm going back to school in the fall, and this time I'm getting a student job as a lab aide. It's not the ideal job, but it's good experience and I think it'll be a lot of fun.

Unlike my last job.

Then I have to take care of financial aid and such. Nasty stuff.

So anyway, on to the title. My brother's girlfriend shows him a wide variety of things. Her family is supposedly super Mormon, but they watch whatever and do whatever. They're pretty laid back, and it's surprising to see that around here actually.

So he comes home yesterday and he's like "I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS." Then he proceeds to YouTube where he shows me three very disturbing videos in anime format.

The show's called "When they Cry" or something like that. Full title: "Where the Cicadas Cry." As I said, it's an anime, but oh my God, it's dubbed as if it were released in America, and it's really weird.

Not only is it graphic (the first scene of the first episode is some guy beating some people to death with a baseball bat), it's confusingly so, and has a pretty interesting plot. And apparently every four episodes, it all resets as if nothing happened. It's like watching several movies with the same characters.

And the funny thing is, many of the characters die. Several times.

The other funny thing is, while this show is sick, twisted, bizarre, and sadistic, I think I actually like it. What does that make me?

Well, not for the blood, but for the plot. What leads up to the guy slitting his throat with his own fingernails and the girl stabbing herself in the head and the corpses in garbage bags.

Twisted.

Crazy.

Sadistic.

*shudder*

It's funny, because all I've noticed so far is the series is split up into movie-sized portions with the same characters who keep dying. I don't see how a global story/plot fits into this, except the one common thing between all the "volumes." For first season, it's that possession dude, I'm sure.

Sorry if I'm spoiling this for anyone who likes it, but I think it's pretty old anyway. It's like spoiling an 80s show though not quite as extreme.

Reminds me of Gantz. Gory and violent as hell, and I love it.

It all makes sense, actually. Just make sure to watch it all to find out how! :D That's what I loved about the series. The first season is just a lot of gore, while the second season explains why it all is happening.

So you're telling me that in order to be famous, all I have to do is be controversial? It can't get any easier, can it?

Well, I suppose it was easier back in the 18th century when BDSM wasn't mainstream.

Someone made a comment on Gantz and Xemic didn't comment on that? Truly, sirXemic is coming to an end. I mean the world.

Well, I guess you're right. I don't see a word being made out of my name anytime soon.

Of course I didn't. What in the world should I have commented >_>

Besides, Higurashi is more awesome than Gantz, simply because it all makes sense (in an original way, I might add!) in the end, even though it might not seem like that at the beginning.
