I recently stumbled into an Encyclopedia Dramatica article on Hentai. In case you don't know what hentai is, it's basically anime cartoon pornography in Japan. It turns out that hentai has many different subtypes, ranging from the normal porn, to the most sickest and grossest porn you've ever heard. Enter guro...mutilation, decapitation, and bloody porn.

Aughhh.....it was just...sickening, and....disgusting. The whole thing'll scar you for life! I mean, who gets turned on by these....things?! One of these examples of guro involved a girl committing hara-kiri naked, while another naked girl sliced her head off....oh, and there was another picture included some woman shooting out breastmilk, which decapitated a ninja's head off (awesome I know, but disgusting nonetheless). There was more, but I'm guessing those two descriptions might have gotten the gist of it. Now excuse me while a go to a corner and whimper...

The central character behind the ongoing series of light novels "The ... of Haruhi Suzumiya", she's an energetic, enthusiastic, occult high school student. The leader of the SOS Brigade, which is some club devoted to alien/supernatural sightings and other oddities. In the club with her is Kyon, the "non-believer"/love interest who was forced into the club, Yuki, a quiet bookworm type with a monotonous voice who happens to be an "artificial human"/alien, Mikuru, a time-traveller with a cutesy-squeaky voice, and my least favourite, and last, Itsuki, the foreign exchange student who happens to be an ESPer (psychic person). As the story unfolds, the three other members reveal to Kyon their primary objective of being in the Brigade: to keep watch over and entertain Haruhi as much as possible so she doesn't get bored and change reality, and in turn destroy the whole world. Harsh.

As far as I know, Haruhi continues to be a mystery to me, which only adds to my increasing want to know more about her and everything about her world. If only I could actually get a hold of a light novel or an anime DVD, but the anime itself isn't a reliable source...D'oh.

It's a very addictive game, I never get tired of hearing the music in it. It's a mix of Oriental and Western styles of music, and always seemed to fit in seamlessly into gameplay, becoming a theme in itself to the boss encountered. Also, there's a chance that any bosses you meet in the last game becomes playable in the next, with their own styles of attack patterns. I really, really, recommend Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom. It's quick and easy to play, and one game should take less than half an hour (a coffee break should take about half the whole game).
