Good thing Spidey isn’t in Boston, or his webbed-up street clothes would be mistaken for a bomb, and the panicked response by the authorities would bring the city to a standstill.

Eric’s Animé Pick
[flv:http://www.dograt.com/Video/JAN07/Niea7.flv 400 300]
We’re currently watching a series called Niea7. Here are the opening and closing credits, followed by one of Dalgit’s Tidbits. Don’t ask for an explanation! I could have included the sub-titles with translation, but it wouldn’t help.
The guy singing the theme song, Sion, makes Bob Dylan sound velvet-voiced! The closing song is a typically happy and sweet female vocal.

Way back in this blog’s dark ages of embedded video, I posted a brief clip from an Animé series called Last Exile.
For a long time we’ve been meaning to post the opening and closing to the show. And thanks to Santa having given Eric a Last Exile box set for Christmas, here they are.

At our house we’re getting closer to the end watching the Japanese TV series Azumanga Daioh. For sheer wacky fun, it’s hard to beat. But every so often it has a quiet and poignant sequence, as I’ve pointed out previously. Here’s another one.
Enigmatic Animé

With Netflix envelopes coming and going at our house, we’re working our way through no fewer than three different Animé TV series! One of them is the enigmatic Haibane Reinmei, highlighted previously. The video has the opening and closing credits.
Carlyle and Hobson
I once drew a parody cartoon of Calvin and Hobbes, never published, using the name of two other political thinkers. Calvin ends up being institutionalized by his distraught parents, where he meets up with Dennis the Menace. Here’s a decidedly more twisted take on Calvin’s fate.
