Wrongness... ahh, the Japanese Wrongness.

[seawasp]

As many of you know, I am a fan of many anime (though not all; there's a lot that sucks, just like American TV). I have found many of their shows eye-opening and entertaining.

Unfortunately, the Japanese also appear to have perfect the art of WTF Wrong!

It was roseembolism that started me thinking about this this morning, with her post on the Totally Kawaii Watchmen. The Watchmen done up as Kawaii Anime Girls.

Now, that was pretty darn Wrong. But not as wrong as what USED to be at this address: http://www.yamabuki.sakura.ne.jp/~ilek-vad/hpl/cg/

Alas, it is no longer there. It *WAS* a collection of the Great Old Ones (Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, etc.) done as Kawaii Anime Girls.

Then we have the CHARACTERS who are the epitome of Wrong. Sometimes their Wrongness is heroic, sometimes it's simply WTF? SWEATDROP! WRONG!

We'll begin with the truly heroic Wrong of Major Alex Louis Armstrong from Fullmetal Alchemist. Armstrong is a powerful alchemist, a couragous fighter, a loyal friend... and Utterly WTF Wrong. Filled with Pink Sparkly Wrongness.

Then, from Naruto, we have Mighty Guy/Might Gai and his "now I duplicate my sensei" student Rock Lee. Gai is a tremendously strong warrior, a hard teacher, a courageous man... and Totally , Utterly Wrong. In this video we have a frightening look at him and his student Rock Lee with terribly strong Yaoi implications (except that there's no actual evidence that Rock Lee is "like that" -- he's expressed very significant interest in girls). The Smile! The Sparkle! The Wrong!

Descending farther into Wrongness, you can search on YouTube for Patalliro!, which is FILLED with Wrong, starting with the title character and going from there.

And perhaps the ultimate in Wrong is the show Bobo-Bobobo. I cannot DESCRIBE the Wrongness in this show. In fact, my mind tries to BLOT OUT my memory of the show.

Fear the Wrong.

That worked surprisingly well, actually. Which should bother me, I think :)

Here is some Great old one wrongness done by my good friend John Kovalic

My Little Cthulhu

That Rorschach is made of awesome.

Let me introduce you to Hello Cthulhu

[shanejayell.livejournal.com]

I know! *lol* The cuteness overwhelms the wrongness I think.

[shanejayell.livejournal.com]

Rorschach as a cute anime character breaks my brain.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Bobo-Bobobo is the BEST THING EVER!

Except for Megas XLR.

Have you ever heard of a show called Demonbane? It's a C'thulhu Mythos-based slapstick cheesy giant mecha anime. Is that wrong enough for ya?

[purplekitte.livejournal.com]

I agree, that was something adorable, if wrong.

I also like the Rorschach. Speaking of wrongness, I am fairly interested in 'Axis Powers Hetalia', which anthropomorphizes historical powers as crazy people.

I need no introduction, I posted about it some years back; alas, no new updates for a long time. :(

I can see that the penguins HAVE stolen your sanity.

[seawasp]

That does sound... quite wrong, yes. As in, very wrong. I have not seen it, and I'm unsure as to whether I should want to.

[salkryn.livejournal.com]

Fair enough...I've seen a few episodes and I'm still not sure.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Penguins and cheap beer.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Oh, you need this icon.

[seawasp]

No. No I didn't need that. I do not believe the WORLD needed that.

And where's the larger version so that I can actually SEE the Wrongness you're using there?

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Here. Revel in the Wrong!

[seawasp]

Definitely Wrong.

The casting's clearly off. Linus, the thinking, sensitive one, would definitely be Ozymandias, led by his beliefs in a better world (and delusions of a Great Pumpkin) down the dark path, all unaware.
