<p>Lack of updates because I've been entangled with so much real life shenanigans, including, among others, being homeless - which I suppose isn't as bad compared to being a pseudo illegal immigrant last year when my Visa expired <strong>long after</strong> I realised it did <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> The fact I'm even posting at all signifies two things. One, I've settled down well enough to be more or less rest assured for the coming semester(even if the internet here is horrible) and two, yes, I'm <em>still</em> not in prison, to the dismay of some, I would imagine <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_redface.gif' alt=':oops:' class='wp-smiley' /> In short, I've been down and out for the past couple of weeks, but I regained the will to carry on due to an unexpected act of Doing It Right™ by Australia, or at least the state that concerns me, now <a href="http://www.thescavenger.net/glbsgdq/sex-not-specified-australia-leads-the-way-in-legal-document-756345.html">recognises the third gender</a>. That's right folks, <a href="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/hideyoshigender.jpg" rel="lightbox[4878]">Hideyoshi is now officially acknowledged</a> by the New South Wales government. Perhaps they were so touched by <a href="http://www.atalude.net/2010/02/11/a-game-of-pretend/">my plight</a> that they've decided to grant me at least <strong>one</strong> nice thing in life while being here. You know, I might actually consider staying for real this time, and fulfill my life long aspiration of marrying and starting a family with a Hideyoshi of some variety. If that's not something to live for, I don't know what is.</p>

<p>I have been grieving for the past week over Australia's decision to deny <a href="http://www.atalude.net/2010/02/03/why-dont-you-just-shoot-me-now-australia/">the nice things</a> that define my <em>raison d'être</em> to the point of disillusionment. What is left for a broken man who has nothing else to lose but to take action? Oh no, I don't mean protesting in the streets or even launching an all out <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Titstorm">cyber attack</a> against the government - I have neither the capability nor impetus to pull something off at such scale.</p>
<p><span id="more-4851"></span></p>
<p>Despite my many preferences, I am generally a law abiding citizen - I have yet to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">be charged for</span> commit an offense till this date. Fancy that! With no intention of sullying my good reputation and jeopardising my bright future, the only way for me to circumvent Australia's <em>ethical inflexibilty</em> is through my own <em>homo flexibilty</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/husbando (4).jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Folks, you know me, I don't discriminate; As long it is pretty, I would hit it. Hard. That is why my only salvation lies in traps. Who knew? "But Shin, you've always <em>been</em> gay for traps, how is this any different?" True, but what you people didn't know that behind my flamboyantly depraved nature, I was struggling in the limbo between straight and gay, whereby, more often than not, after fapping to traps, I would just reassure myself that what I just did was in no way, at all, gay. Not that it stops the crying and shame afterwards, of course.</p>
<p>No more, I say, as there is no better time set myself loose from the chains of denial . After the latest episode of Baka to Test to Shokanju, I have reached an ultimatum  to turn this <a href="http://encyclopediadramatica.com/A_Game_of_Pretend">game of pretend</a>, so to speak, up by a couple of notches. From today onwards, I will dedicate myself exclusively to two dimensional trap smut.</p>
<p>And to make sure I am not flouting <strong>any</strong> Australian legislations whatsoever, I am going to address the following:</p>
<blockquote><p>The ban on small breasts</p></blockquote>
<p>The beauty of traps is that they are eternally flat chested(even if <a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/1569/Otome_wa_Boku_ni_Koishiteru">Otoboku</a> broke this rule), and because traps are still genetically male, they do not possess small breasts(manboobs don't count) to speak of, and therefore remain immune to this ruling.</p>
<blockquote><p>The ban on female ejaculation</p></blockquote>
<p>Quite peculiar this one, but no matter. The <strong>only</strong> possible outcome arising from traps like Hideyoshi reaching an orgasm is the thick, viscous reproductive fluids which symbolizes the joy of me taking his rear end <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_rolleyes.gif' alt=':roll:' class='wp-smiley' /> Again, this is different from female squirting and is of course exempted.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/husbando (2).jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Incidentally, while Australia has given the reason that depicitions of small breasts elicits paedophilia, no mention has been brought up regarding small penises, to which I would safely assume that it is okay for a trap like Hideyoshi to bare his healthy, throbbing manhood, as it only elicits pederasty, which I last checked is almost similar to paedophilia, but let's not give the government any bright ideas, shall we?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/husbando.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>With all said and done, I will now begin the painstaking task of systematically filtering my fap fodder with Australian Approved℠ content, lest I be criminally indicted when I return to Sydney. Let it be known that I did not make this life altering decision out of my own free will, no. I am but a matryr of the oppression where I am left with no choice but to cast aside the League of Lolicons and along with it, my principles and beliefs. Hopefully I am able to appease my brethren with the images accompanying this post, for there is no other way I can seek forgiveness.</p>
<p>P.S This is a serious post, and not an excuse to post Hideyoshi fanservice.</p>
<p>P.P.S There won't be foam covering Hideyoshi's chest in the DVD/Blu Ray edition right? Oh god.</p>

<p>Is that how you want to do things, Australia? First you impose draconian <a href="http://www.atalude.net/2009/12/16/ausfailia-net/">internet censorship</a>, and then you <a href="http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/australia-bans-small-breasts/">ban DFC</a>. Now this? When I go back to Sydney by the end of this month, it would be like stepping into an entirely different world; A world of absolute despair and hopelessness. Australia, you used to be the land of dreams - koalas, Steve Irwin, and the outback filled with kangaroos. Now you've gone to shit. I had honestly planned on applying for permanent residency once I completed my papers, settling down in a nice little rented apartment and landing a decent paying job. Who knows, maybe even fall in love with an Australian girl and start my own family. The string of recent tragedies has seriously made me reconsider my options. What else do I have to live for when I return down under?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Everytime I see this picture I get a boner...</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-4824"></span></p>
<p>"But I'm a guy!", Hideyoshi protested. I want to rape Hideyoshi, push him hard onto Class F's coffee table, hear him scream for help. Every night I fantasize about it. He tries to punch me while insulting me, and crying names of all those he knows, begging for help, until I slap him hard on the cheek, pull his brown hair and leave clear that he's now mine and therefore he must do as I wish. Scared, he stays still, closing his eyes hand, knowing there's no way out, that no one will help him.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/noetest1.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I violently pull down his underwear then, burning his skin, ignoring his cries of pain, and his attempt of covering himself. I open his legs wide and suck his cock. He jumps, suprised and tries to escape once more. But he stops after a while, now panting hard, his cheeks reddened, his green eyes half open, and his cute, pink mouth opened slightly. I also see the side of his cheek getting purple, where I hit him earlier. Sucking his now hard penis for one last time, I lick my fingers and push them inside him without further ceremony. He cries again, arching his back, tears streaming down his face.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/noetest2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>As I stretch his tight little hole I gently kiss the wound on his face, licking away his hot, salty tears and teasing his mouth with my tongue. Then I pull my fingers out, unable to wait anymore and push my hard, throbbing member against his entrance. His scream echoes across the empty school and he desperately tries to grab onto something as I mercilessly pull out then slam in again, following my own pace. I watch his chest go up and down spasmodically, ragged sobs and whimpers filling the room, and he starts crying for anyone to save him. But then he stops suddenly, and his body shakes as I hit particularly deep into him. I smiled and hit that sweet spot again, and again, and the cries were replaced by shaky moans. Covering his face, he looks away, embarrassed because he's enjoying something so terrible, so wrong. I soon reach my climax and come deep inside him, and he comes together with me, his back arching slightly, his face wet in tears and sweat...</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/noetest3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>With my dick still buried deep inside him, I kiss his forehead gently and whisper into his ears these very set of words:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0" src="http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/noe.png" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I had always loved you, Noe <span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span></p>
<p>P.S <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?hwnytzghnm5">A Hideyoshi doujin</a>. Enjoy!</p>

<p>In what could've turned out be one of the biggest blunders in anime business history, Kyoto Animation originally wanted K-ON! to be a <strong>serious</strong> slice of life anime , Naoko Yamada has revealed.</p>
<p>Speaking in an interview with Newtype, Kyoto Animation director Naoko Yamada revealed that the the team has wanted to create ℳℴℯ<span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span>shit anime - without relying on plot, characterization, good animation and the like - for years, but senior management held them back.</p>
<p>"With Clannad, we were dead set against it being yet another good, deep anime," Yamada told Newtype, "but the board of executives really wanted it, the compromise sort of being that we'd get some funding in exchange for doing good, meaningful anime.</p>
<p>"We always wanted to do ℳℴℯ<span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span>shit anime and the board of executives saw us as more of a good, deep animation studio," he said.</p>
<p>"And something I'll add to that, Kyoto Animation also did not want K-ON!. They thought working on a ℳℴℯ<span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span>shit anime was risky and [thought], 'oh my god you can't do that, it's crazy!' They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time," he said.</p>
<p>"We had to fight for everything," chimed in K-ON! project lead, Yukiko Horiguchi. "They wanted it to be drama. Again."</p>
<p>Of course the Kyoto Animation's risk in letting the K-ON! team go against the surveys paid off massively, and K-ON! ended up shifting over 41,000 copies.</p>
<p>"It just blows us away(knowing how retarded the otakus are). I'm still reeling from it," Yamada said of the success.</p>

<p>As So Ra No Wo To looms over the horizon, I personally cannot wait to see what other Kyoto Animation influences are going to trickle down onto A1's next production. Just as how Kannagi had a Haruhi-esque OP sequence, So Ra No Wo To has identical character designs to K-ON!, which is no surprise why this show has been dubbed the latter's sequel(prequel?) and Valkyria K-ONicles, among other dubious titles made to link the two shows together.</p>
<p><span id="more-4794"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><em>The story takes place in an imaginary town Seize. A long war brings a gradual decline to the world. People disappear from the town and fishes cease to exist in the sea. In this quiet world, five girls guard a fortress and play brass vividly.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The plot sounds about right for a serious military themed series, with humanity trying to recover in the aftermath of a war, up until the last sentence; Even if it has the <a href="http://myanimelist.net/people/6759/Kanbe_Mamoru">director</a> who's done shows that include Baccano and Elfen Lied onboard with Kalafina doing the OP, it's hard to shake off the whole K-ON! feel to the show if you going to go with <a href="http://www.geocities.jp/dochibibi/">this guy</a>'s art, coupled with a plotline that will see the girls forming a band...</p>
<p>Not convinced? How about a summary of <strong>all</strong> 13 episodes of So Ra No Wo To?</p>

<p>Not too long ago, a (formerly) <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2009/03/19/1237054961100.html">classified blacklist of banned websites</a> made its way onto the internet, which was in fact the precursor to a legislation that would see Australia implementing <a href="http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/report-on-live-isp-filtering-trial-released/">internet censorship</a> at a scale which would pretty effectively cripple the way a lot of us, and by us, I mean people like me <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_rolleyes.gif' alt=':roll:' class='wp-smiley' /> browse the web.</p>
<p>Rather than targeting specific sites and content, in which CP has always been <strong>the</strong> primary concern, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alignment_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29#Lawful_Evil">Lawful Evil</a> Internet Guardian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Conroy">Stephen Conroy</a> saw fit to expand the filter to block out anything listed under the <a href="http://libertus.net/censor/ispfiltering-au-govplan.html#RC">Refused Classification</a> category, which is essentially a blanket term for questionable content, which includes, among others, <em>fetishes</em>.</p>
<p>Ordinary Internet users here are freaking out already as it is, but for the otakus, this no different from pulling the plug on the chronically ill, since a lot of otakus such as myself are kept alive with ℳℴℯ<span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span> fetishes and the like being constantly injected into our bloodstream via permanent intravenous therapy <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_redface.gif' alt=':oops:' class='wp-smiley' /> I shudder at the inevitability where I wake up one day to find (especially) 4chan, imageboards and other anime/manga related sites shut out before me. I always knew I would succumb to death by ℳℴℯ<span style="color: #ff0000;">❤</span>, but with the way things are unfolding right now, I would sooner die by deprivation of.</p>
<p>To be honest, as a student on a temporary visa, I have yet to fully grasp the direness of the situation, since there is the option of packing my bags and returning to the third world cesspool from whence I came, which is ironically a lot less draconian, at least where <strong>internet</strong> censorship is concerned (although this is attributed to the lack of resources, infrastructure and other miscellaneous factors  more than anything else <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' /> ) Still, there is that slight tinge of despair and I cannot feel sorry enough for the good folks here, as seen by my gaming club mates here who went on a pub crawl to drown their sorrows last night <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_cry.gif' alt=':cry:' class='wp-smiley' /> As for me, I best go stockpile on loli before it becomes <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">illegal</span> inaccessible.</p>

<p><span id="more-4755"></span></p>
<p>Just saw the second part of Rebuild of Evangelion in the cinema yesterday.</p>
<p>If you ever had any negative impressions concerning how gloomy and pessimistic (as well as mindf*ckingly confusing) the original TV series was, you can throw that all away now.</p>
<p>For Anno Hideaki has kept true to his word and delivered a totally different and satisfying "reimagining" of the Evangelion story.</p>
<p>For starters, Shinji is actually less wimpy and more GAR. He seemed more in control of things than his pathetic TV counterpart ever could.</p>
<p>Rei is now showing more humanity and is assertive than before (arguably even more than Nagato Yuki, bar Yuki in Disappearance of course <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_cool.gif' alt=':cool:' class='wp-smiley' />   ).</p>
<p>And Asuka (now Shikinami Asuka Langley) is less angsty, making her less annoying and more likable.</p>
<p>And the new girl, Makinami Mari Illustrious, she's pretty much won over me now. (Being voiced by Sakamoto Maaya helped) Though her screentime was shorter than thought. Hopefully it'll increase next episode.</p>
<p>Pardon me on my random mumblings below as I try to recall what I just saw. Needless to say, IT'S FULL OF F*CKING SPOILERS.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void(null);" onclick="s_toggleDisplay(document.getElementById('SID938222397'), this, 'Show &#9660;', 'Hide &#9650;');">Show &#9660;</a></p>
<div id='SID938222397' style='display:none;'>
<p>The story now focuses more on Shinji's issues with his old man. Most of the sideplots inevitably gets streamlined, but it certainly made the movie flow more smoothly as we're taken straight to the action.</p>
<p>Romantically, it's now leaning more on Shinji and Rei, Asuka may be jealous as usual, but is less b!tchy about it, and even made up with Rei before...</p>
<p>Ending up as the pilot of the Angel-corrupted Unit 03 instead of Toji. Anno decided to give that lucky b@stard a happy ending and have him reunited with his little sister out of hospital. So this time, it's Asuka getting her mindrape earlier than expected.</p>
<p>As with the TV series, Shinji refuses to fight, causing Gendo to use the "auto-pilot" like Dummy Plug to kill the Angel, with Asuka in it. (More on that below)</p>
<p>Later on, Mari infiltrates NERV and hijacks Unit 02 to fight the Angel with the insanely powerful AT-Fields. Rei joins in and, like in the TV series plans to do a suicide attack on it by shoving a N2 missile into it. The Angel is barely scratched, Mari gets knocked away despite her best efforts (but she still kicked @ss using the never before seen "Beast Mode") and Rei, along with Unit 00, gets EATEN, literally, by that Angel.</p>
<p>Next would come pure awesomeness, as Shinji snaps out of his sulking, goes back to Unit 01 (which refused to install the Dummy Plug system as it only recognizes Shinji as its pilot), and then goes into "Awakened Mode", which is just another word for "God-like pwnage" (not to be confused with "Berserk Mode", in which the pilot is out of control).</p>
<p>Shinji is very much in control here, and he even risks losing his humanity just to save Rei, trapped inside the Angel's core, and f*cking succeeds!</p>
<p>Of course, this ends up with the Angel turning into a giant Rei (as in End of Evangelion) and fusing with Unit 01, causing... THIRD IMPACT.</p>
<p>Credits roll. With Utada Hikaru's excellent acoustic remix of her theme song <em>Beautiful World</em> for the first movie playing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.atalude.net/2009/12/07/rebuild-of-evangelion-2-0-random-thoughts-spoilers/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>Just when we thought, "Instrumentality ALREADY!?" Suddenly Unit 01 gets impaled by the Lance of Longinus, thrown by none other than Kaworu, in the never before seen EVA MARK 06. Saying "The time has come, Shinji-kun, I will give you true happiness."</p>
<p>OMFG! The entire cinema went berserk. (I suspect a few fangirls were screaming for entirely different reasons, if you know what I mean.  :cool:  )</p>
<p>At first, I thought that the image that I posted at the top was just some movie poster. Now it dawned on me that <strong>the friggin movie ending was staring at my face before I entered the bloody cinema</strong>.</p>
<p>Then came the preview for the next chapter: Evangelion 3.0: Q-Quickening, including a shot of:</p>
<p><strong>Asuka still alive(?) with awesome eyepatch to boot.</strong></p>
<p>The cinema erupted in applause.</p>
<p>Even my friend, who was only a casual watcher of the TV series ages ago, and so wasn't familiar with most of the stuff, thought this was a much better adaptation.</p>
<p>P.S. Best comedic scene goes to Pen Pen the penguin (together with the straw), for causing Asuka to go through what Shinji went through in the first movie. You'll get what I mean when you see it.  <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_cool.gif' alt=':cool:' class='wp-smiley' /> <p style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</p>
<p>I now declare myself a "Born Again Evangelion-ist". <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_mrgreen.gif' alt=':mrgreen:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Needless to say, some basic knowledge of Evangelion is still needed before watching this, at the very least, watch Rebuild 1.0. Or else you'll most certainly end up like a blind nun in a fish market. (Whatever that meant, but I know this blogger that liked using these ridiculously nonsensical metaphors <img src='http://www.atalude.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/default/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' />   )</p>
<p>For you guys in North America and Europe, when the DVD comes out, GET IT. 8)</p>
