"Upotte!!": An anime about assault rifles as schoolgirls. Take our challenge!

Recommended Posts

That challenge being how long can you watch it for before it breaks your brain. I watched half of the first episode, before the sight of a 12 year old school girl unloading an FNC at full-auto on her teacher crush because he looked up her skirt or something made me question every value I hold dear.

Overview:

Based on the manga of the same name, Upotte!! follows the daily lives of middle school range assault rifles. Our intermediate cartridge heroines face the many trials and tribulations of growing up Assault Rifles in an increasingly modular world. Fighting back rival contracts, their elder Battle Rifle sisters, and dreaming of the day when they can be properly maintained and handled by strong, sensitive hands, the characters of Upotte still find time to relax and enjoy their youth.

The thread that introduced me to it and a boatload of impressions/WTFs

Because in Japan, everything is a sexually precocious schoolgirl. Marvel at the random minute-long crotch shots. And ponder the unfathomable: just why does M16 wear an orange slice in her hair?

That commercial didnt make me want to move to Japan at all.

She has a full-grown body perhaps but she acts like a child, just like all those anime girls. I get the very strong feeling pretty much the entire Japanese population has pedophile tendencies.

Looking on youtube to see what's that vocaloid software would do with some Elvis song, and found this attempt at "Jailhouse rock"

TA68OHHJYrU

While it's surprising what a program can do, listening to that had me wanting to honestly throw my speakers through the window. Maybe i'm some kind of philistine regarding what one consider like "good" in term of voice and music, but sorry i just couldn't find anything more to say that "horrible".

I then went to try to heal my poor ears with the original

Argh, no ! mistake ! not that one, argggghhhhh .... my ears ... my poor ears again.

Operative;2132302']some holographic dancing character.

Ehm' date=' nope. She's Hatsune Miku and she's pop star!

Japan you have a lot to explain...

We talked about it with friend and we came to conclusion that it's not that weird but rather natural. Miku doesn't take drugs, doesn't come late to concerts, is never tired, doesn't want money... Sure it'll probably never replace classic music but I can see it replacing shitty-pop-music-made-just-to-keep-money-flowing anytime (think Britney Spears... but not Lady Gaga!). Dj Tiesto does pure electronic music and has thousands of people on his concerts and they're doing exactly same things as crowd on Miku concert. Since he has a lot of concerts in Germany you could also say "Germany you have a lot to explain...".

EDIT: But yeah, Japan is sometimes really funny :D

Vocaloids may not be impressive versus real singing, but they have inspired creative people to spawn some amazing content:
