Kiki's Anime Corner
Of course, when I'm not on the hunt for whose soul I shall consume next, I enjoy watching anime during my downtime like anyone else. Just because I'm a demon doesn't mean I'm soulless!

Some of my favorites include:
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Tokyo Mew Mew
- Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
- Ojamajo Doremi
- Gurren Lagann
Malice@Doll
Entry written 9/16/2023
Hell worms once again. There's been a significant gap since my last post in mommy' anime corner, and I'm sure at least one of you had assumed I had abandoned it, but fear not imaginary strawman and also fuck you for occupying space in my brain.
I'm writing about this OVA here in a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing mostly because I want to let people know this shit exists. Of all the anime I've seen in my day, there really is nothing like it.
The most obvious thing anyone would point out right away is the CG animation. CG animation has a bit of a reputation among anime fans for looking bad, because honestly it usually does and is relegated to animating anything even remotely complex in modern anime productions where hiring talented animators would be too much work for studios. So much anime CG looks incredibly out of place or very uncanny, and that can be said for Malice@Doll but honestly I think it works extremely well in it's favor.
I really couldn't tell you much about the plot of this OVA honestly, it'll definitely take a few watches for me to fully understand (which is by no means an insult). And once you learn this was written by Chiaki J. Konaka of Serial Experiments Lain fame that kind of explains everything. But what I could tell you about the plot that it's about sex robots living in a post-human world and I think it couldn't be more fitting that they're depicted as these uncanny looking CG anime girls with very stiff movements, and watching it dubbed and hearing the very awkward English voice acting was the cherry on top. Let me tell ya, watching this in a dark room at 1 am really made me feel like I was a child at my grandma's house staying up to watch Adult Swim to watch Family Guy only to experience the most bizarre pieces of media I've ever seen.
Man, I'm really doing a disservice talking about Malice@Doll, and I'm a literal fucking goddess! I should be ashamed of myself for such a thing but fortunately I am incapable of feeling any shame. Fuck you. Besides, the less you know going into this the better. I recommend you check it out yourself if you have the chance, because it really is an experience unlike any other. Please, help me spread the word.

Holy fucking shit this anime was so goddamn fucking boring. For some fucking reason this show has this reputation of being the "worst anime of all time" which made me think I was getting into something that would be entertaining but no, it's just mediocre anime romnance. I only saw four episode and throughout it I was thinking about how much I wanted the main guy to start cheating already. Apparently this guy cheating on his girlfriend is what makes people hate this anime so much because wah wah boo hoo I don't like it when fictional characters do things that I wouldn't. Cry me a fucking river. All the anime characters I like are below me and therefore are impacapable of accomplishing nearly as much as me. I'm hot as fuck and the baddest bitch in the universe. Anyways where was I? Oh yeah, this anime is lame as shit and is 5/10 as hell and I didn't even have the patience to get to the stabbing episode and I don't know if I'd live up to the hype after all this boring as hell high school drama that doesn't feel like it goes much places because nobody can communicate their fucking feelings. By episode 4 there was some anime titties, nipples and all, which is pretty fucking rad but at that point I could not sunken cost fallacy my way into this shit anymore. I hope the anime girl stabbing the guy looked cool as fuck for those who had the patience to sit through this.
Stop!! Hibari-kun!
Entry written 04/07/23
Hello there worms, its been a while since the Goddess decided to descend and write another entry in my anime corner. But fear not, because mommy's back to write more >:)
Stop!! Hibar-kun! has been on my mind a lot lately. And part of that reason is because nobody seems to understand this series except for me.
For the uninitiated, Hibari-kun ran in Shonen Jump from 1981 to 1983 with an anime airing from 1983 to 84. I haven't talked much about the dates of shows I talk about, nor do I plan to, but I make an exception here to point out the fact that despite the time period in which it came out, the focus of the series, the titular Hibari-kun, is a trans girl. And I don't mean some coward shit where it's debatable if she's trans and fans of the series who are trans universally agree on the headcanon, I mean she is is transgender. Granted, the word "transgender" is never used in the show, but having lived my glorious life as not only a trans woman, but the hottest fucking trans woman to walk this field of existence, it's hard to not see Hibari as a character and see her as anything but.
Eguchi knew what he was fucking doing when writing Hibari. He fucking gets it. Hibari doesn't just wear dresses and does the whole "teehee still a boy tho not a gross tranny :)" shit. In fact, she manages to so perfectly encapsulate the Trans Experience™. Despite the shit she gets from her family, she still presents herself as femininely as possible, goes to school and lives life as a girl, and there's even an entire episode focusing on Hibari wishing she had boobs. If you can read this and think anything other than "this bitch is trans" you are either a fucking moron or blind or both. But everyone is an idiot by default when compared to me, so that isn't such a bad thing.
Despite my praises though, I've seen my fair share of other trans women listing off their reasons for not liking the series. It's usually the same few complaints: "The show takes place from the point of view from A Guy instead of Hibari", "Hibari's family treats her like shit and misgenders her", that sort of thing. These are both true I can hardly blame people who express that sentiment. Except no I fucking lied, I can and will absolutely blame you for that you utter worm. While multiple people in the show do give Hibari shit for presenting as a girl, they're always shown as in the wrong and they always eat shit. Literally in the second episode, Hibari's dad hires a yakuza training guy (Oh yeah, did I mention Hibari's dad is a yakuza boss? Pretty sick honestly) to get her to "man up" and goes to greath lengths to do so, even attempting to strip her down and cut her hair. But that fucker eats shit when Hibari goes fucking Limp Bizkit on him and pounds his ass (in a non-sexual way, to his displeasure I'm sure) because trans girls rule the fucking world (and I am living evidence of that).
Honestly that's probably the biggest selling point for me. If you read my entry on Haruhi, you know I love bad bitches who kick ass. Anyways be grateful I felt like writing this. Worship me you fucking worms.
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Entry written 02/10/23
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is a show I have a history with. While it's not the first anime I ever saw, I saw it early enough into my life as an anime fan that it's definitely stuck around since the age of 13. I distinctly remember being enamored with the titular character, Haruhi, and in retrospect it's not hard to understand why.
As surprising as this might be, I wasn't always the beautiful and all-powerful demon goddess that stands before you now. Rather, at that age I was an awkward and lonely teenage boy, completely unaware to the hot demon bitch I'd become. So seeing a character like Haruhi, someone who got shit done on an impulse, was inspiring to me. I didn't realize it at the time, but I wanted to be her.
At some point in the series, it's revealed Haruhi has control of the universe but is completely oblivious to it. We see her subconciously use this power to bend reality, such as changing the seasons or granting cats the ability to speak. While that was something I looked up to then, now I scoff at it. I'm above Haruhi now. I've surpassed her. I am greater than her. I am all-mighty.
There's other stuff to talk about the show does well, like the animation, attention to detail, cinematography, writing, and so on, but that's not what Kiki's Anime Corner is for. Here we talk about what I want to talk about, mother fucker. Eat shit.
