I know its been quite a few posts down alr, but I would just like to agree with this. I read Train man before and it was fine, but Genshiken is quite more 'hardcore'/deeper in a very diff direction which I cannot really relate to honestly altho I was sitting there for a extremely long time.

Also, I think the some of the suggestions below of live-action or parodies of popular anime sounds quite gd.

haha i just had an idea!!! find two thick-skinned people, dress them up in different costumes (preferably super sentai and villian type), and have them fight in the school. fighting may spill over into lectures but try not to overdo it in case campus security comes down hard on us.

then videotape it for kicks.

so this was apparently from NUS yesterday, something along the lines of what you mentioned

ohz. i was considering an extended fight sequence throughout the school: from can b to LKCLT then to LT1 then can A then LT1A. then we can film the whole extended scene for laughs

I like the sentai and villian fight idea.

Yuuchou Sentai Dare Rangers (from lucky star) can be a theme song or something.

VAS Sentai! Anime Red! Comics Blue! Designer Green! Three young allies of right with attitude whose mission is to spread appreciation of the visual arts throughout NTU, wielding their fists of justice if need be!

what shall our enemy be? the lumbering, un-cooperative S_C that hinders our quest for visual awareness each step of the way?

I guess we can bring in certain aspects of uni life to use as foils for the VAS sentai (the old anime/manga cliche overpowered student union council perhaps?) I was thinking also of straw man antagonists (ala like Captain Planet's enemies), that is nemesises (nemesii?) who advocate old fashioned or other fallacious thinking (like comics and animation are for kids, soccer moms who insist on censoring everything etc.).

ehehhehehe straw man made me think of making a barney thing since everyone hates barney so a purple and green strawman who can turn from small useless dummy to this huge deranged purple and green strawman. hahas but barney's not an anime oops. hahas

or some strange guy who goes into super mode when he gets hit by a bullet and is reduced to his boxers thanks to it mwahahhahaa XD

or we can make it like an arcade game where you can change scenes and have super cool combos then u can have a variety of different strange villians with all sorts of attack hahahhaas.

lets do "left 4 fujoshi dead"!!!! original idea goes to WL anyways.

PART 1
In the near future, being fujoshi is a punishable thought crime due to it being highly contagious. infected males turn *** while infected females become fujoshi, leading to a massive population decline! a task force is assembled to stop the source of the infection, patient "GINNY"...

PART 2
The task force has failed and most of the population has died off. what is left are zombie-like, infected people. THINK: LEFT 4 DEAD BUT WITH *** ZOMBIES. There are 4 untouched survivors. CAN THEY MAKE IT THROUGH THE FINAL BOSS: Patient 0, "GINNY"?????

isnt it 10 times more horror in "survival-horror" now fufufu
