That was a surprisingly good impression of J-pop (assuming the music isn't actual J-pop). Way better than A.N.T. Farm's impression.

To answer a couple of people in this thread regarding my stated lack of HBO: yes, I am fully aware I could either buy the Game of Thrones DVDs/BDs or download it/stream it legally (or not so legally), but I'm certainly not going to buy it blind, and I'm not really interested enough in that kind of fantasy to go through the trouble of seeking it out through other means.

I'll probably give it a couple of episodes to grab me if it ever shows up on Space or some other basic cable channel here in Canada, but that's about it.

Showcase has been airing Game of Thrones for a while now.

FYI, Trey Parker's wife happens to be Japanese.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. I guess I never watch Showcase, even if that's a channel Rogers still hasn't removed from analogue. Thanks for the info.

it's great to see something in this day and age actually reference anime's existence again and leave it to South Park to do it justice

This is the only thing that motivated me to keep watching South Park after the big disappointment of "Ginger Cow". Thanks, ANN.

Still think their "Fun Times With Weapons" episode, in addition to being possibly my favorite, does parody even better, but yeah, they really are the only US adult comedy cartoon series that seems to be able to parody anime correctly and damn does it always make me smile!
+1. This had nothing on that episode.

Of course, now that Kenny is a Magical Girl, it would be perfect if he met his end spoiler[by having his head bit off, a la Mami in Madoka Magica]

Even the latest Adventure Time has gotten into the prevalent maid fetish! Laughing





Yes, she's trying to seduce him:

That was one of the best Adventure Time episodes I've seen in a while.
