It was an enjoyable romp, barring the fact that waffle ate half of the updates. I was able to fill in the blanks with context, though.

I remember there was supposed to be a mech anime involving Idolm@ster characters, involving mechs punching pieces of the exploded moon when they became meteoric, and, as far as I could understand from the talk on the imageboard that shall not be named, the main heroine has a thing for her mech, or at least has to show it affection to get it to work.

Yeah. I have no idea. :japan:

Yeah, I watched that to see how they would an idol grooming game into a mecha series. I'd have to say it's merely ok and it turns dark near the end of it. I'm talking people getting killed left right and center as I could remember it.
It's just weird and jarring all things considered.

It's best to pretend that never exist since it had some characters in name only and really messed up the characters. Just treat it as the supposed tsukihime anime and watch the real one that aired this year.

If you were working on a final and then suddenly couldn't get to your desktop, that's probably about as far from happy times as it gets for most students.

Kidding, of course, still glad the thread is alive, albeit very, very lethargic.

Edit: Hmmm...I think lethargic doesn't quite work; catatonic is much more like it.

Also, reading through updates with images missing is fun in a whole different way than it was when they were intact. Let's me make crazy things up for what I've forgotten.

O... okay. One girl down, five to go. I just have to do five more rounds of...

[Ogami]

... telling them that... everything's going to be alright, even though I royally hosed everything up and gunned down the woman that everyone in this godforsaken theater looked up to.

[Ogami]

R-Right! You can do this, Ogami! Just look them dead in the eye and-

[Ogami]

- oh god no bad choice of words-

[Ogami]

Right. Deep breaths. I have to stay calm for everyone's sake. I mean, I only have one shot at this-

[Ogami]

Too soon, brain! What the hell are you thinking, cracking tension-releasing jokes at a time like this!? Seriously, man, get a hold of-

[Ogami]

... great, I've fallen so far that I'm actually holding arguments with MYSELF. At least no one's around to see-

----



----
[Ogami]

- gently caress!

[Sakura]

YES!

[Ogami]

NO!

[Sakura]

gently caress. One of these days, Ogami-san. One of these days.

[Ogami]

- yes, yes, one of these days, I will mess up even worse than usual, and that is the day that my poor beleaguered soul will finally waft up to join the Great Ticket-Taker in the sky.

[Sakura]

No, I will simply bang you and eventually carry your adorable badass thunder god babies, and together we will steal the bellybuttons of children all around the world!

[Ogami]

... yeah, like I said. Great Ticket-Taker in the sky.

----



[Ogami]

Sakura-kun... so this is where you've been. Aren't you cold out here?




[Ogami]

........


[Sakura]

To tell you the truth, I... actually looked up to Ayame-san.
I really wanted to become like her someday. That's... what I'd always thought.


----
[Ogami]

... you... want to get kissed by a smug fetcher and turn into some evil brainwashed sex appeal demon?

[Sakura]

... no, Ogami-san.

[Ogami]

Okay, so you want to... spend your days watching over a senile old commander, making sure he doesn't drink himself, the theater, or all of the Imperial Capital into a blissful alcohol-fueled oblivion?

[Sakura]

I want to drive a gently caress-awesome blimp-cannon, level most of the Imperial Capital in government-sanctioned "accidents," and have mysteriously charismatic ticket-takers drool all over me and my swag.

[Ogami]

... right, how could I forget? The traditional dream of Japanese maidens everywhere.

-----



[Ogami]

Sakura-kun...




[Ogami]

That's wrong. We won't be fighting against her. We're going to go save her.


-----
[Sakura]

Just like how you "saved" her with a bullet to the heart?

[Ogami]

N-No, I didn't mean it as a euphemism.

[Sakura]

Fine, but while we're on the subject of euphemisms-

[Ogami]

WE'RE DONE HERE.

-----



[Ogami]

Sakura-kun... is the Ayame-san you believed in such a weak person?




[Ogami]

Then... believe in that. That Ayame-san will come back to be with us once more.


[Sakura]

... yes. I'll believe in me, who believed in Ayame-san...


-----
[Ogami]

Look, if you're going to BELIEVE, you should probably start by not automatically assuming that you're going to need the past tense there.

-----



[Sakura]

Ogami-san... let's go find Ayame-san. Then, we'll definitely rescue her.


[Ogami]

Yup, that's the spirit. Let's do our best, Sakura-kun.




[Ogami]

Yeah...



----
[Sakura]

... okay, our daily hot-blooded optimism quota has been fulfilled. Can we go back to talking about euphemisms NOW?

[Ogami]

Can we not? I REALLY have to figure out how I'm going to survive my upcoming conversations with Iris and Maria-

[Sakura]

- BY USING YOUR GREAT BIG ROOSTER!

[Ogami]

No no NO NO let's just- let's just talk about something safer than euphemisms! Okay? Okay!?

----



[Ogami]

Eek!?




[Ogami]

Um, w-well...


----
[Ogami]

- LET'S GO BACK TO EUPHEMISMS AND CONVERSE AT LENGTH ABOUT MY GREAT BIG ROOSTER.

[Sakura]

Ship's sailed, Ogami-san.

[Ogami]

drat. Well, if you mean love as in a tragic yearning for something vaguely resembling a normal romantic relationship, which is impossible both because this theater is filled with maladjusted terrifying superhumans and because Ayame-san had some kind of star-crossed lovers thing going on-

[Sakura]

So, in other words, cockblocking and heavy railroading kept you from ever getting close to the object of your inappropriate lust?

[Ogami]

... yes. Yes, that's exactly it.

----

[Sakura]

See? It's just as I said!
But there's nothing wrong with that, right? I mean, I love Ayame-san a lot, too!
Okay then, Ogami-san. We'll definitely bring Ayame-san back!


----
[Sakura]

Even if we have to break all her limbs to do so!

[Ogami]

Ha ha ha, that's the spirit, Sakura-kun! In fact, why don't you go down to the cafeteria and get Kanna to help you practice on the defenseless pedestrians passing by the theater? She could use the pick-me-up.

[Sakura]

YES, MY LORD!

----



----
[Ogami]

Nope, no shame, horror, or guilt at unleashing them on innocent bystanders. Just the overwhelming sense of relief at managing to survive another conversation with Sakura.

[Ogami]

Yup, I've really been here for too long. Still, Ayame-san's going to be pissed as all hell, we're going WAY over our weekly Acceptable Deaths quota as it is, and-

[Ogami]

... oh. Right. Ayame-san. gently caress.

----



[Ogami]

Ayame-san... are you also watching it snow now, somewhere out there?


----
[Ogami]

And are you still wearing that ridiculous demon bikini, or did you have the good sense to put on a jacket?

[Ogami]

- right, speaking of ridiculous outfits-

----


----

----


[Ogami]

What's the matter? Sitting by yourself up here...



----


----
[Ogami]

S-Sumire-kun...

[Sumire]

Yes, Ensign?

[Ogami]

... it's... it's such a RELIEF to see that this whole thing with Ayame-san hasn't dampened your spirits any, Sumire-kun! I mean, you're just as bitchy as usual! Ten points for Bitchyndor! I KNEW I could count on you to be the stiff upper lip in this entire-

[Sumire]

...

[Ogami]

... r-right, um, I just- let's try that again.

----

[Ogami]

No, that's not I meant, but... if I hurt your feelings somehow, I'll apologize. I'm sorry... Sumire-kun.




Mecha and Demons: Groveling in the Dirt Since 1923.

[Sumire]

It was inexcusable of me. To say something so rude...


[Ogami]

Sumire-kun...




[Ogami]

........


[Sumire]

And you would say nothing to me, I see...


----
[Ogami]

Well, the only way to win ANYTHING with you is to not play at all.

[Sumire]

Oh ha ha, Ensign, very funny.

[Ogami]

... hey, it's true, isn't it? Just about anything I say will give you ammunition to tear me a new verbal rear end in a top hat-

[Sumire]

Ensign, that phrase doesn't actually make any SENSE.

[Ogami]

See!? There you go again!

----



[Ogami]

No...



----


[Ogami]

Sumire-kun...


[Sumire]

For Ayame-san's sake... it shall be me who will deal the killing blow.
I shall repay her that one last favor, from me to her.


[Ogami]

S-Sumire-kun... you...


-----
[Ogami]

... sound like a speech written by a middle school girl who just discovered GRIM DARKNESS and THE FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS for the first time.

[Sumire]

... what?

[Ogami]

Sumire-kun, it won't make you sound any cooler if you try to act all hardboiled and poo poo, okay?

[Sumire]

No, but I really-

[Ogami]

I mean- look, everything we've faced so far has required us to be stupidly positive and hopeful and fart rainbows all over the place, so we just have to keep spouting positive happy bullshit until we can inevitably save Ayame-san, leading to glorious good ends everywhere!

[Ogami]

... right?

[Sumire]

Y... yes, Ensign. Of course. It's surprising that you're just now snapping from all this pressure.

-----


----


[Ogami]

Dammit... if only I'd done a better job...


----
[Ogami]

... m... man, I can't handle another billion girls to talk to right now. I've got to talk to the one person in this theater who I can count on to help me de-stress. The one person who'll listen to my worries and my troubles!
