Well no one asked for a follow-up

Anyway

I've got a hat that's covered in buttons I've collected from anime cons. And on the back are three buttons with Asuna, Madoka, and Natsumi on them.

I wore it to class in celebration of the last day of classes. My professor walks over and starts looking at it.

She then points DIRECTLY to those three and said "I recognize these characters, but I don't know their names."

[up] Yes, SCM asked for context the very post next after yours.

I'm going to liveblog The Idolmaster. I'll post a thread for it at the Ala Iridia forums, but if no one objects, I might post it here too, as Iniquitus did with Madoka Magica.

I didn't say a goddamn thing

I don't like my programming professor. Not a bit. The last thing I need is a reason for her to 'keep in touch' long after my last class with her is over.

I know that doesn't sound very 'brony' like, but keep in mind. I've spent three years trying to 'get used' to her. She continues to grate on my nerves, no matter what, and I've given her every chance to stop being such a bitch.

Now I"m just going to cut my losses and not worry about it

The Idolmaster Liveblog begins.

EPISODE 1:

Typical clumsy "cute" girl. Seems to be the protagonist. Ho-hum.

Okay, she IS kinda actually cute. The silent interviewer feels sort of awkward, though. Should've given him a voiceover that wasn't too distracting.

Tomboyish Girl kinda reminds me of Tsumugi from Cyberteam In Akihabara with short hair. Name's Makoto? How conveniently unisex.

The building with the broken elevator reminded me of the TIA instalations in Spanish comic Mortadelo Y Filemon. I'm weird.

From the angle Clumsy Girl had while going up, I'm guessing this anime will feature Magical Skirt.

Ritsuko is the most appealing character so far.

Ah. Leggier brown haired clones of Fuuka and Fumika.

The Hibiki girl was quite the annoying cutesy voice. She feels forced.

Ah, I thought the girl with Makoto now was the same as that in the beginning, but apparently it's another one. Only Six Faces reporting to work.

Makoto, please, it's only an imaginary cockroach, not the Kraken.

Yes, Makoto reminds me more of Tsugumi now. She even has her own Suzume in Iori.

Okay, Iori is charming. i like her character type.

She should drop the stuffed bunny, however.

Protagonist (?) girl returns with someone who looks like a shorter Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh.

Takane is really pretty. The girl with her gives me strong Naba Chizuru vibes.

Ah, Miki the blonde! I heard good things about her before this. Great visuals. Seems funny so far.

I can tell Makoto will be the butt of a ton of Les Yay jokes.

Is she Ryuunosuke from Urusei Yatsura, too?

Shy Girl: What would happen if Start of Series Nodoka and Ai from SZS had a daughter.

Poor Ritsuko.

Ah, the protagonist(?)'s name is Haruka.

Green-Hair Girl seems too generic.

But she has a nice behind. H_H.

That public... My God, the QUALITY faces...

Kuga Natsuki called, she wants her closeups and attitude back.

Didn't like Takane's secrecy so much. Mysterious characters work better in the kind of series where there are real reasons to hide information, and from the looks of it... this ain't one.

Grow up, Hibiki.

Yep, Chizuru's clone has even those two attributes.

I'd love Iori to death already if not for that bunny. Cool name, though.

Orange Haired Girl is still quite forgettable.

Rich Girl-Poor Girl duality. This will be an ongoing theme, right?

SCM should love the twins.

Come to think about it, the building reminds me more of that seen in the obscure anime YAT Anshin.

I (heart) Ritsuko.

I've got to admit Orange Hair had the best answer.

Takane, you aren't fuckin' Xelloss. Drop it down.

Bonus point to Miki for honesty.

Even Haruka's answer is cliche.

I wonder if this will be the ED from now on, or it's only a firset episode thing.

Why are Miki's breasts here smaller than during the episode?

"Good news, everyone!" said Professor Farnsw— err, the Director.

Goodie! Iori without the childish bunny!

Green Hair definitely looks out of a 90s dating game.

Should've seen this coming.

Nnnggghhh, Ritsuko...

So this is the famous "Broducer".

Next: Fuckin' bunny returns, Makoto looks the best in training clothes, and again, nnnnngghhh, Ritsuko...

Despite all my snark, I really liked it so far. No characters I downright dislike yet, although a single episode is still too soon to say.

Favorited so far: Ritsuko, Iori and Miki. Takane's a runner up on pure looks, but she doesn't seem having too much depth.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Truth be truth, it appears that you CAN make a Dragon Ball Movie with real people. A dood compiled possible cast choices, and while I don't like his choices for Goku, Vegeta and Cell (Though the actor would probably fit Perfect Cell perfectly), some are spot on.

Dolph Lundgren as Android 16 and the dood he picked for Piccolo were spot on. Add in a dub by the original voices and you get a f*cking awesome movie, since apparently every single actor he chose was trained in martial arts.

Too bad hollywood would never do the sensible thing.

The thing is, with indies you can see that effort went into it.

Dragon Ball Evolution was disappointing because it had a shittin' large budget, yet was still unimaginably crappy, to the point where it had absolutely nothing to do with Dragon Ball outside of names, occassional references and using it as a toilet.

Corey Taylor is awesome. He found Psychosocial Baby both hilarious and awesome.

Unequally, Continuation. For SCM.

Why, Hello There

Running up the south side of the hill, between the trees and the bushes, Ku Fei, Tatsumiya Mana and Nagase Kaede moved swift and silently, in that order. They jumped as much as they ran, from place to place, following irregular paths to avoid being easy targets from above. Apparently, no one had noticed them yet, but they were playing it safe anyway, even the normally boisterous and noisy Ku, after taking a lot of instructions from the two taller girls.

"Look up there!" Ku stopped, breaking her silence to point up at a pillar of light falling from the sky to crash against a specific spot of the wrecked villa over them. Mana frowned at that, but said nothing. Kaede's flat expression was fully unreadable. "What was that?"

"Problems," Mana checked the rifle between her hands again.

The column of light disappeared just as soon as it had appeared, but Kaede didn't move again even then. "We should come up with an attack plan before assaulting them. I suggest finding a high ground and striking from there-de gozaru."

"That'll be difficult, since there are fliers as well," Mana pointed up at some winged beings circling over the swarming demons that surrounded the compound. "We should eliminate those first."

Ku made a cooing, fascinated sound. "Uiiiiii! I never had seen anything like that! So many monsters in a single place!"

Kaede nodded. "Indeed. One wonders what kind of horrible incident could bring them upon this world."

"Let's ask them," Mana began trudging up once more.

Kaede walked next to Ku and grabbed one of her hands. "Stick close to the shadows with me, Ku-dono. The surprise element is always a big tactic tool against many opponents at once."

"I don't really see any place from where we could attack them in secret," argued Ku, straining her green eyes for such a spot.

Mana, who had moved to the head of the group, gestured for them to stop and put a finger on her mouth. Her rifle aimed ahead into the path, and she walked warily, step by step, moving some plants away to find a girl who was walking up the hill herself, her back to them. From behind, Ku could make out she had bright pink hair, and some sort of wide white wings attached to her back.

"Halt," Mana commanded, as dry as harsh, training the rifle's aim on the head of the female. "Identify yourself. Friend or enemy of the Konoe House?"

The girl looked over her shoulder at the three 3-A students, and Ku saw her eyes were huge, shiny and with deep pinkish irises.

"Friend, I guess you could say," she answered. "You're students of Negi-kun, aren't you?"

Ku made a sour face. "Oh, another friend from his childhood, no doubt. I'd have prefered a demon or another kind of enemy. At least I could kick those around..."

Kaede hushed her with a mildly disapproving hiss.

You can take it from here, Mage.

Guesses go from 45 million to 100 million. That, my friend, is a shitton of money when me and my pals made a better movie with twenty bucks and a beat up Fiat 147.

In other news...

Louise, just to practice, fired a second Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens into the air...

...And promptly collapsed from exhaustion after firing a much weaker beam, which was still quite surprising to most people.

Still, she was still happy. She'd shown everyone she could do magic. Twice, to boot. Refectio only recovered her physically, and to a point. Her muscles felt kind of sluggish. It was weird to see Magic take so much out of her physically, she'd never had that kind of problem.

So after Negi had a bit more fun by systematically destroying Guiche and Montmorency and she had kicked him halfway across campus to where he could get washed, they set out to meet the princess.

Negi had pointed out to Louise that she'd have to get intensive training since they'd only have tree days and as such had activated his artifact, the contract making a small amount of energy flow to him. She noticed the difference almost instantly, having so little due to earlier exhaustion, but she said nothing about it.

After all, if she couldn't take a little pressure like this then she wasn't worthy of helping the princess. She'd make up for past failures as best as she could.

“So they did declare war.” Negi spoke as they walked, both ignoring the weird stares they got. Negi was kind of intimidating to the majority of the public. Had to be the fact that the coat did make him look badass.

“Yes... Negi, I hadn't asked this before, but you are an outsider, you have nothing to do with the war. What will you do?”

The question seemed to stun Negi, and he kept walking merely because it was simpler than standing still to ponder it. “Well... I can't really say I'm looking forward to getting involved. After all, I am a diplomat, I'd prefer if this could be solved with words.” The redhead spoke. “But I am ultimately bound to you in this, Louise. I will protect you no matter what. Be it from Albion, from Tristain or from the entire world. That is my duty as your familiar.”

“But what about the eclipse?” She asked, frowning in thought. “If you can go back to your world, then you will have no need to fight in this war.”

Negi was silent for a full minute. “To be fair, I still believe it is quite impossible to reach a solar eclipse. The moons are too far away to do such a thing. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a one in a million chance, that the portal just happened to open on the exact spot where it would be obscured by the eclipse from where it was seen.”

A weight had been lifted off her shoulders. That had been eating away at her for a while. It seemed he didn't have quite a lot of interest in trying it out. Besides, what he said was actually plausible, all things considered. He had spoken enough about his world for Louise to know that they had very advanced technology.

“Still, you haven't told me if you are going to join us.” Louise said, turning to Negi and actually stopping so that an untimely arrival wouldn't break their conversation.

“Louise, I am an outsider. No, more than that, I am a foreign royal. However, I have some things to discuss with the princess myself.” He had a growing smile as he said so.

Everyone in the castle gave them odd looks. Again, had to be Negi's fault. The sword on his back didn't help, though no guard seemed to have the balls to approach him to say he couldn't carry it into the throne room.

Louise kneeled in front of the throne, one hand on her chest while Negi simply bowed as usual, though it was still weird for Henrietta not to see Louise force him to kneel. That girl could be strict about etiquette.

“Princess, please accept me at your side.” Louise said solemnly, her eyes closed and her face down. The last time she'd seen the princess, both of them had been crying, depressed wrecks. It was heartwarming to see Henrietta smile again.

“Thank you, Louise.”

Negi sighed. “Princess, I said long ago that I could not offer much in the form of aid.” Negi said, looking positively uncomfortable with having to say what he said. “However, circumstances have it that the one type of aid that I can provide you as I am be necessary.”

The princess snapped her head so fast Louise thought she may get whiplash from it. It was kind of funny. “Mister Familiar?” Her curiosity was rather clear, and if Louise knew her princess well, she was always keeping an eye on anything interesting.

Negi himself knew that fact, and he knew that the princess knew more than anyone else what he could bring to the table.

“Allow me to propose an alliance between us. I am planning to create a permanent connection between this world and my own. For that, however, I will need tremendous amounts of resources and the cooperation from a sizable workforce. In exchange for such aids, I promise you military aid as you see fit.”

The princess considered the offer. It seemed ludicrous, at first glance. He was asking for a lot for the aid of a single, if insanely powerful, mage. Then again, she'd seen his powers herself and it was no doubt that he was probably on a level with an elf, or perhaps even superior.

“Your offer is tempting, Mr. Familiar, even despite its steep cost.” The princess said, though it was clear that it wasn't entirely convincing. “But we are a country at war. You understand we cannot spare much right now.” She said, her voice somewhat conveying her own doubts.

She knew more than anyone the kind of power that he had. But would it be enough for the benefits he provided

“I understand that I am asking you to become indebted to a foreign entity that you distrust with great reason.” Negi quickly said, sighing. “As you might have imagined, a, pardon the word, political shitstorm would ensue if I took part in this conflict without a proper alliance. We are important figures, we cannot freely act like this.”

“Yes, I understand your concerns.” Henrietta said. “And I imagine that you require a good reason for spontaneously establishing an alliance without consulting your superiors.”

Negi shook his head. “My superiors are my people and I do what I believe is best for them. I had planned to connect our worlds regardless of that, but having to negotiate for a space that I could occupy and the resources necessary to create a connection would have been troublesome in the long run. I do not like to take advantage of something such as a war, but this presents a chance for us both to obtain benefit.”

“How so?” Henrietta asked, clutching her scepter tightly. She was actually running the offer in her head time and time again as they spoke. She knew that Tristain would not be able to survive this war. Not without taking innumerable losses. Yet it was a high price to pay.

“Ah, it's rather simple. After all, Tristain will become the first place to benefit from interplanar trade, being that the first Gateport is most likely to be located in this country.”

“Excuse me for looking a gift horse in the mouth but, what is it that you gain from this, then?”

“I am not seeking personal gain. Everything that I obtain from our trade will fuel this project, preventing my own organization from having to use our own resources.”

It made sense. After all, the money that wasn't spent on that could be spent on salaries.

Louise was stunned. She hadn't quite expected her familiar to so suddenly go for an improvised diplomatic meeting with the princess. Though it did strike her that he was at the very least making the offer. She knew he really had no reason to get involved in the war. Her eyes darted between the familiar and the princess.

She didn't know whether she wanted to punch her familiar for making what seemed like an impossibly pricy deal with little payoff (although his description of it made it sound like it'd be an investment that would pay for itself) in economical matters. Then again, he was also offering military aid, and she'd seen just how broken he was.

“Very well then.” Henrietta conceded.

“Then, I, King Negius Springfieldes Entheophysia, place under your charge all of the active military personnel currently in Halkeginia. Therefore, I am under your orders until the end of this war.”

The princess smiled, and so did Louise. The paperwork could wait for a while. For the moment, they had to work on getting back.

And Every Body Dies

TDV sounds infinitely more interesting, so I wonder how the rest of ZNT will play out once the other masses are involved. Though if you want to make sure you don't get super swarmed with plot points like I tend to suffer, perhaps you can make the gateport strained so it only works, forcing Negi (and by extension Louise) to choose which conflicts they get involved in.

You know you want to add more tropes to THIS.

@IANCE: Wait. Negi did reveal to Louise that he's a noble without a country, but as far as I remember it never came up in a conversation with Henrietta. Now he's naming himself king and all that jazz, and nobody's batting an eyelash. How?
