OtakuChat 1: Cardcaptor Siege

A swell day or night to you, friends and visitors! We will be hosting our OtakuChat session together. This idea started when we, memecaptors, were chatting about blog plans and we were having fun. Our laughter silently expressed by our fingertips. So, we decided to give you a glimpse of our chatroom. We thought it might be cool.

Hikkikomori Otouchan will be writing in Green, which is very indicative of his green mind. Romeo Toring on the other hand will be writing in blue, since the color reminds him of his favorite fruit, the green apple. LOL 

Hey my waifus and husbandos! Welcome to the first ever Otaku Chat hosted by me your pure tentacle monster uncle Hikkikomori Otouchan and our resident bishounen Romeo. How was your week in anime Romeo?

Hello there Hikikomori Otouchan! You’re finally out of your cave. The green font suits you well. Green as your mind, I suppose. LOL

I’ve heard you’re watching Cardcaptor Sakura upon my recommendation. Let’s talk about it shall we?

I am as green as your mind Romeo-sama. It takes one to know one So, go on. Ladies first LOL. 

You seem to doubt my sexuality like Yukito-san or Toya-kun. Did you notice his shoulders narrower now in the sequel?

Well, anyway. Episode 2 taught us how to bake a cheesecake. Yamazaki might be lucky to have his Chiharu waifu. Toya’s okonomiyaki looks delicious too. Admit it. We are all Kero-chan in that episode.

I love the revival of his segment. It’s funny when Spinnel acts as a stern director.

I still find him annoying, especially when he devours gluttonously that glorious forkful of okonomiyaki.

I am more of the cheesecake guy though. Sakura should have made seconds and offer it to her friends! On a side-note clubs are such a big part of Japanese education huh? I was never active in any club but would have loved to be part of the theatre one with Naoko-chan. Which club would you be part of, Romeo?

My Japanese friend told me that clubs give an avenue to develop social skills — whatever that means. I suppose to enter Naoko’s club too, but you chose it before I do. Grrr… Well, I’ll give a safe answer. I choose what club Sharoan-kun will take soon. At least, I’m still “mysterious” that way. Speaking of mystery, what do you think Shaoran’s business in Hong Kong? It puzzles me.

You are the Cardcaptor Sakura expert. So, I am sure your guess will be better than mine. What I do know is that Shaoran is like Tomoyo; they are born with money. Lol  Can they adopt me? At any rate, maybe he is busy WRITING LOVE LETTERS FOR SAKURA BECAUSE HE IS A SHY BOI or something. Eriol, or Clow Reed 2.0, seems as mysterious as usual. Why so much mystery?

Hahaha. Aside from love letters, I was expecting Sakura to feed Shaoran with spoonful of cake. Kyaah!
Yes, true. Eriol seem to be hiding something too. He’s like a Facebook friend who seen-zoned Sakura. I feel like Shaoran and Eroil’s concerns are connected. Maybe the Li or Lee family (whatever is the spelling) has a great grudge against Clow. But the greatest mystery of all — “Who is that cloaked person above that dragon-type legendary Pokemon?”

I know who it is.

Who? By any chance have you read the manga? NO CHEATING Hikikomori Otouchan!

IT IS DIO!

<seen>

That was a Jojo’s reference.

<seen>

Am I too old or you just seen-zoned me?

<typing>

WAHAHAHAHA! I did not see that coming. There is no place for vampires in a sunshine-filled anime like CCS.

Oh okay… There was a delay… MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!

I get the reference. I’m current episode 9 now in Jojo Star Crusaders.

But yeah, I really don’t know who the cloaked figure is. Would you hazard a guess?

Could it be Sakura’s Mom? I also think her dad’s character is under-explored. That archaeologist must be hiding something. By archaeologist, I’m talking about Kinimoto Fujitaka. Definitely not Jonathan Joestar.   haha

<seen>

Wait. Aren’t we off topic already?

Lol  No, we are not you sweet summer child. But why is the card named siege?

If I was the writer, a siege card should be a catapult or a cannon.

Oh… You’re too fast to reply. Let me answer you concerns one at a time.

As a general impression, the names of the clear cards seem like an upgrade of English vocabulary. Notice in the first episode “Windy” turn out to be “Gale”. Now, “Lock” seem to be “Siege”. I might be wrong. One thing is true though — the new card designs are supeeer awesome. 

IF my life would be an anime I would want Madhouse to animate it.

Hahaha…   Our generation is lucky to enjoy CCS with refined graphics in a 21:9 aspect ratio. Look at this dreamy opening scene below.

It is nice right! But You know what I love more? THE ED!

Madhouse really knows hot make make sweet things sweeter.

Yeah.. I’ll drooling at this card-sealing sequence.

I wonder how many frames they spent.

Oh damn, that is one amazing eye-candy! Speaking of eyecandy, don’t you just love the outfits Tomoyo makes? I am wondering what outfit will she make for Shaoran in the future.

Yes. I’m looking forward about that soon. Tomoyo is good with art apparently.

The art class is an avenue to introduce that side of her. This is definitely Tomoyo’s episode. She popped the balloon, defying logic… Cuz, who brings sewing pins in an ordinary basis anyway?

That is so true! She is talented with her hands at drawing and her voice at singing! I still remember she was the one with the voice or sing card right?

It’s both voice and song card. Hahaha FILLERS and their REDUNDANCIES.

Ahahaha  I know! But have you seen the Preview? It looks like an Articuno card. LOL

Yeah. What do think its name would be? “Wet” “Waterspout” “Storm”? The scriptwriter used his/her/their thesaurus well in searching for highfalutin counterparts.

Ahahaha!  Well, the only high I get is a sugar high with all the sweet moe shouts of Sakura’s cute KOHEEEE. I counted 5 cute KYOHEEEEs in this episode.

It’s sounds “UUWEEE” to me. Well, whatever that is it her trademark scream.
By the way, have you noticed Mielin and Wei mentioned in the garden bento conversation? I heard those characters are not part of the original source materials. Fillers would not be a surprise this season.

Well I trust Madhouse that they know how to take care of that. Speaking of Original I am going to be Meta here.

Do you remember Rika? The friend of Sakura with a crush on her teacher?

Oh! That impending pedophilia relationship. I feel guilty shipping them last season.

Have you noticed that she did not appear at all during the series? I have an inkling the reason why.

She appeared in the picture though on the first episode. I wouldn’t be surprise she ends up with Teradara-sensei. Otakus sort of love that loli stuff. (Sorry if I offended anyone).

The reason why she is not part of the series is actually a bit meta and is part of a decision by CLAMP.

Forgive me Hikikomori Otouchan. I seem not able to decipher what you mean by “meta”. Teach me oh great remnant of the Anime Golden Age. Oshiteyo!

The Voice actress of Rika died of ovarian cancer, and CLAMP stated that they cannot think of anyone who can possibly voice Rika like the VA. If you notice, most if not all of the VAs of the characters are the same two decades ago. I want to give CLAMP a big hug. Quite sweet of them.

OMG! Seriously? May she rest in peace. I should refrain from loli jokes now. The seiyuu might haunt me.

But you are a loli. So, you are an exception. But yeah. CLAMP the group of authors are quite close the the fans, which makes it even more heartbreaking.

I did not know that. CLAMP is a group of authors? I’ve learned something today. Oh thou resplendent sage Hikikomori-sensie!

But yeah I am very excited about the next episode! I want to know what Sakura will make and what Kero will eat. Talk to you next week, waifus and husbandos for the next OtakuChat!

Wait! Did we reach 600 words already? Hahaha.

We should do this often then. Seem like a good content strategy.

Hahaha  I think so too.

So, that’s all folks. If you want another anime to be reviewed like this. Please comment below.
