And to think, without Robin's commentary, we may have never known that butt-dance wasn't completely random and actually based on Japanese mythology...


If I understood the commentary correctly, it was completely random. Coincidentally, it ended up matching the mythology.


Yah, that was my impression as well.

I remember that strip, it was funny. Hard to believe that the idea came from Japanese mythology. I honestly thought it was a random idea possibly inspired by those crazy mega-insane otaku kids that get overexcited at anime cons and get silly during Dance Dance Revolution. Embarassed Laughing

Since no one seems to be able to read and absorb information nowadays, let's recap...

Robin wrote:
So basically, they did a butt dance, which I had already had the gang try. And thus, I unknowingly screwed myself out of being all mythological, because I underestimated mythology's ability to include butt dances.


She did the butt-dance, then looked up the myth, and saw that she'd already covered her bases... so chance at epic-ness later on failed, random epic win. Yay!

Wow, I thought it was a Crayon Shin-chan reference instead. Anime hyper Did anybody else think so as well?


I certainly did, especially since they said butt dance as they did it which is just like Shin's ass dance.

So, basically, Robin had intended to base the following Myoopi strip on the Amaterasu myth, but unknowingly had already based the previous one on said myth Shocked
