...I feel that the winner's entry is a bit too cliche-y cliche. I mean, there are cliches that are so cliche that it's funny, but this one is so cliche that it's no longer that; it's so cliche that it's too cliche to be funny cliche. hoi.
truthfully, with all the hype that zac put up, I'm kinda disappointed. I really think the example he provided was better than this. Well, I want to see the runner-ups! |

It is at times like this I can only wish for some better acronym than "LOL" or "ROFL" to concisely express my considerable mirth. Being misunderstood is a terrible thing, but also the basis of much comedy. After overcoming my paroxysms of laughter, I can't but help sit here and ponder the awful possibility of some contestant incorporating the dreaded "we are not blood-related" cliche. |

 Now see, unlike Trigun, Hellsing, etc., I think this would be a license to print money both in America *and* Japan.  While gritty, gun-toting anti-heroes have limited appeal, braless transforming girls in sailor outfits with a good heart and mysteriously disappearing clothes have a sort of "je ne sais pas" that delight audiences everywhere. Well, male audiences. And a few others. But the point stands!
Seriously, that entry was a funny read. Thinking about it, I'm kinda surprised we don't see many anime/manga that are in and of themselves parodies... Some of these shows are really begging to be made fun of.

The description was great enough, but made me want to uncermoniously drop on the gournd laughing was the website, which looks like Hello Kitty vomited on her monitor and made the pattern into a website! Fan-made cheese in only the finest of flavors! //I really do think that the website design was brilliant, BTW. I'm not dissing it. |

I am definetely impressed. Amazed. Astounded. ... Wow.
Websites are a pain to make, and if you put that much work into this, then you really deserve that massive prize. (And really...no men's sizes? I'll have to do with the calender...) |

i just started reading love hina and when it said "beyond that bizarro thing on his website where he said Keitaro and Naru got married" that kinda killed it for me

Dude, Love Hina is ancient history to most people at this point. I'm not going to put spoiler warnings on something that was a news item a few months back concerning a years-old series most everyone has seen. |

Corgi puppies are cute too. :< As for that Hellsing OVA, I'm quite pleased with how volume 1 turned out.

Hilarious entry, Wendy Davis! That is seriously amazing. For someone to put such hard work in a show... creative! Heck, I'd probably watch "Magical Kitty Princess Kutie-Cat" if it were real!
Nice answerman this week, Zac. Next week, post up more entries, at least two, huh?

Yeah, this was definitely the best Answerman contest ever. The website had me laughing from top to bottom. Awesome effort. Were the typos on purpose? I noticed the "teh", which got me wondering.
Wendy really needs to post in here and take a congratulatory bow. |

I was inspired by Jadress's great fan art and decided to draw Princess Cutie-Kat's companion. Click on the thumbnail to see Princess Puppy-Paw!
Now I can join the cirlce of Princess Cutie-Kat fan artists. ^^; [Edited for spelling] Last edited by Cloe on Sun Feb 26, 2006 12:33 am; edited 1 time in total |
