(The following is satire)

It was reported late on Sunday night that a man originally from Knoxville, TN, who was once deceased, has now defied the laws of nature and been revived from the dead. It was reported by his mother Angela Bay that the group was having a funeral, and they were ready to start the closing ceremony when Timothy Bay’s spirit heard his friends talking about how they had not watched “Jojo’s Bizarre adventure,” at which point his casket reopened and he rushed over to them immediately. Mrs. Bay is now unsure of how to feel. “On the one hand, I’m so glad to have my precious baby boy back, but he never shuts up about how good Jojo’s is.”

The incident occurred around 9 P.M., with the man in question, a Mr. Steve Stevenson, using a lock pick to break into another unsuspected man’s apartment. Stevenson later admitted to the police that after walking into the victim’s house, he immediately took off in anger. “I’m so tired of robbing people’s houses only to find anime girl figurines and Naruto DVD’s. It’s like, why would you spend your money on that?” Stevenson was then placed in jail after finding he had avoided previous sentences for similar behavior.

Fans of “My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU” Excited to Watch Hachiman Not Hate Himself

July 12, 2020 Jack Scheibelein Leave a comment

(The following is satire)

After a long-awaited five years since the end of the show’s second season, fans of “My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU” are finally ready to watch the series’ conclusion. Many have taken to various social media sites, including different forums and Twitter, to express their anticipation for the show. One @hipsternihilist69 said “I really don’t like SNAFU’s message about there being inherent meaning in friendship. Btw, anyone want to grab coffee later?”

However, many on Twitter were also discussing the character of Hachiman, and how they are excited to see his growth. Throughout the first and second seasons, he begins to remove his self-isolationist mindset in favor of growing his friendships. “It really is like watching a mirror sometimes. A lot of anime characters start out as loners and losers but end up happier in the end. I just really want to see that resolution for Hachiman.”

Man Joins Black Lives Matter Protests After Cop Steals His Anime Merch

June 21, 2020 Jack Scheibelein Leave a comment

Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations

(The following is satire)

In the wake of historic protests following the death of George Floyd, along with many others since then, many have felt uneasy about joining said protests. One man from East Knoxville said “Of course Black Lives Matter, and I want to help, but I don’t know if protests are the best way to go about it.” However, the man’s mind was quickly changed after an encounter with police earlier this month. “I was driving home after getting some figurines from one of my favorite stores, I get pulled over and before I know it, there was a cop taking my stuff.”

The man in question, Steven Smith, is referring to the process of Civil Asset Forfeiture, a totally real process in which the police can accuse your possessions of being involved in a crime instead of you, and thus can take them in as evidence. “After that experience, I realized just how corrupt the policing system is, and I knew from that point that protesting was worth it.”

IPCC Finds Weebs May Be Forced to Use Manga as Toilet Paper in the Future

June 10, 2020 Jack Scheibelein 2 Comments

Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations

(The Following is Satire)

In a recent, very real report from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), researchers found that deforestation and lack of soil management may lead to lack of available paper products. They specified that this would include lack of access to things like drawing paper, napkins, and toilet paper. The researchers project that this will begin to become a serious problem somewhere between 2050 and 2060, with an even worse timeline if people forget this information two second after reading it.

Among the researchers working on this report, Dr. Wee Aboo said that those who enjoy reading physical media of any kind may even be forced to use their favorite books and comics for other things. “What’s happening right now is unprecedented. Climate change is having such an incredible impact on our planet that it might get to the point where manga fans have to use their favorite series as toilet paper.

Anime Fan Protests COVID-19 Delays by Burning Collection

May 29, 2020 Jack Scheibelein 4 Comments

(Not Real)

After many announcements of delays in anime series due to COVID-19, many fans have taken to social media to voice their frustration, but one has taken it even further. Steven Smith took to Twitter, posting a picture of what he says is his burned anime collection.

Smith explains in his tweet that he is “tired of seeing everyone get so lazy because of COVID-19.” He then goes on to explain that his decision to burn his anime collection was inspired by what he called the “brilliant and well-informed Keurig protesters,” a reference to many who destroyed their Keurig coffee machines after the company pulled their advertising from Fox Host Sean Hannity in 2017.

After following up with Smith earlier this week, he elaborated on his decision. “I simply don’t want to support an industry that believes that sitting around doing nothing is ok. Using COVID-19 as an excuse to not go back to work is simply Immoral.”

Guy Who Thought SAO Was the Best Anime Ever Actually Watches Show

January 1, 2019 Jack Scheibelein 2 Comments

Welcome, weebs, to Animated Observations

In an event that surprised many of those around him, and also left him wondering what he had been thinking, a man recently discovered that Sword Art Online, one of the most popular anime series to come out in the 2010’s, is actually not as great as many people claim it to be.

Devin Williams, 18, was hanging out with his friends in his two bedroom apartment on a Friday night. Williams walked into the living room where his roommate happened to be watching Sword Art Online. “I remember he said that he said ‘hey, you guys should come to watch this show with me,'” Williams said about the experience, “and so we watched it, and man, it was awful.”

Before the event, Williams had always had the impression that SAO was a really good show because everyone would talk about it all the time. “All of the people I know would tell me that it’s god’s gift to earth, but it’s just not true at all.”

When asked to comment on Williams’ revelation, many in his own family disagreed. “Are you kidding me,” his mother said, “Sword Art Online is the greatest show ever. I really like that part with Asuna trapped in a cage. It really adds to the drama of it all…”

“I just don’t know what to do,” Williams said, “Everywhere I go its people talking about the Sword Art Online. I just wish they would actually watch it to see how awful it is.”

Ok, so in case you guys did not see the tags or category for this post, it is a satire piece. I don’t actually think SAO is that bad, I just thought it would be a fun topic for satire article. But, since SAO is a show that I don’t normally talk about on The Aniwriter, I am curious: How do you all feel about the series? Let me know in the comments below. Also, consider supporting me on Ko-fi:

The Onion (Anime Edition): My Hero Academia Mangaka Worries That People Don’t Like His Series

January 29, 2018 Jack Scheibelein Leave a comment

My Hero Academia Mangaka Kouhei Horikoshi said in an interview last week that despite how much money his franchise has made him, he can’t shake the feeling that people do not like his show. “I think about it every night,” he said, “that people just hate my series.”

The worry reportedly came after fans were interviewed on Japanese TV about the My Hero Academia anime and one fan said: “I thought the animation was a little lacking in parts, and the music could have been better, but other than that it’s pretty good.” Another fan said “I would really like to see more of Uraraka. She is one of my favorite characters in the whole show.”

After seeing the comments on TV, Horikoshi admittedly started crying. “I thought I was doing so well, but I guess I’m just a failure.” Many others have given their scathing reviews as well, such as Bleach Mangaka Tite Kubo, who, when asked about the series, said, “I really enjoy it. It’s bringing a fun new feel to manga, and Horikoshi is doing a great job.” Masashi Kishimoto, the author of the world famous Naruto, said “I really like how the story is centered around Ninjas with superpowers. Great concept, and great work from Horikoshi.”

In recent weeks, Horikoshi has even been feeling pressure from fans directly, with fans outside his house and signs that say “we love your work!” Despite his ongoing fight to impress his fans, it seems as though there are some that he will never get through to.

The Onion (Anime Edition): Hiro Mashima Describes His Worst Nightmare: Natsu

December 8, 2017 Jack Scheibelein 8 Comments

The ending of Hiro Mashima’s famous manga Fairytail is not lost on him. In a recent interview with some random panelist at a Convention, the mangaka described one of his walking nightmares, and how it affects him every day.

” Every night since the manga has ended, I’ve dreamt of Natsu fighting outside my house, and then suddenly breaking through the walls,” he explained, “and that I would have to keep paying for my house to be repaired.” ” It’s rare nowadays that I ever get a good night of sleep,” he further explained.

Mashima was also asked whether or not any of his other characters appeared in his dreams. “oh, yes. Many.” he said. “Most of the time Natsu is fighting Erza, and then gray will come in without a shirt, and then sometimes without pants. No matter what I do and take, I can’t seem to get the dream to go away. I just want to be done with it.”

Shortly after the interview, Mashima sent out a press release saying “I would like to let everyone know that at the moment, I am doing ok. Even though my characters are haunting me in my dreams, my overall mental health has remained well, and I will be fully committed to working on my next project.” Many, though, are still worried about whether or not Gray will continue to be shirtless in Mashima’s dream, and the scarring damage that Natsu will continue to do to Mashima’s house.

What did you guys think? Should I do more stuff like this? Let me know. Thanks for reading and bye for now, Friendos!
