Like a Cat, Tied to a Stick: / vs. Project ICE

Fifteen Minutes of Previews Before the Actual Movie

"But, /," I can hear you saying already, "weren't you already liveblogging Baccano! Haven't you ever heard of finishing what you've started?" To which I can only respond that I have seen the Finished Land, and lo! it was really quite boring. After all, if everything's done, what do I have to ~~stress out about~~ look forward to? And so I am proud to introduce my second^*

liveblog, Like a Cat, Tied to a Stick, which we will proceed to drive into Project ICE, a 2007 OVA series that Anime-Planet sees fit to describe

as follows:

In a dystopic future, the Mir space station fell from space for an unknown reason — bringing with it a death sentence for every man on Earth. Women have adapted to the loss and for the most part, are living their lives in peace, but bio terrorism is on the rise and the women of Japan need protectors. Hitomi Landsknecht is the leader of a group of such protectors, but she and her comrades will soon discover the new technology known as "ICE". Mysterious and unknown, it is somehow related to males being born again – an occurrence which may signal the rise of humanity once again. However, the technology may also create a monster and destroy what is left of womankind. Can the remaining females change their destiny or will it be too late?

It's received glowing reviews from users on anime tracker BakaBT, who effuse:

As for this, the OAV was definitely weird and pretty awful.

And:

this is so BAD, it physically hurts just watching the 15 minutes of it (thumbs down)

Uh, let me strike that "proud" part from "proud to introduce"...

Anyway, I'll be watching the Makoto fansub release of ICE. Part one to come shortly.

«she turns her head upward towards an overhead camera◊ and screams, "Why am I doing flower fortunetelling at a time like this?!"» Because you are in a shitty OVA.

«As for Schwartzshult, Google suggests that I may have meant Schwarzschild instead, which seems an appropriate recommendation. After all, this show is so far sucking about as hard as a black hole.» Karl Schwarzschild died in the Russian Front of World War I of a painful autoimmune disease. This might be preferable to this show.

«Murasaki and her pilot are holding above the National Diet Building, where Hitomi's squad seems to have handled their ICE all right, but Aika's is sending "abnormal images".» All I can think of is using Goatse as a weapon.

«Just as things start to look dicey, the Captain scores a critical hit with a sword throw◊, against a monster that managed to stand up to multiple rocket hits. How this would work, I do not know.» It works by Magical Anime Sword Power.

«Perhaps the non-linear(12) nature(18) of the shell(0) countdown(5) helped. (Yes, those frames are all in order.)» ...I'm pretty sure you're putting more effort into mocking this than the creators were into making it.

I'm not even sure why you would suffer through this. However, continue. It amuses me.

Wow, it seems like Ludicrous Gibs is the only thing this show does right so far.
