I always found this site interesting, given the name. It struck me as a humorous tightrope act between self-deprecation and self-loathing – which is why it attracted the two most shameless fanboys to write for it. Still, what bothered me a bit is the online handle of the founder. Sure, metaphorically he is my father in this anime blogging hobby, but it’s an inauthenticity because while he’s a man in love and beloved; married for far longer than I’ve been, he is not a biological father.
This is, as far as I’m concerned, a bigger shame.
BUT THIS CHANGES SOON. Otou-san found out hours ago via ultrasound that he’s going to have a son. CONGRATULATIONS!
We are breeding!
My own daughter is already two and a half years old (and will become an internet onee-san), and Otou-san will now have a son. I WANT ONE TOO. But for now, let us all congratulate the soon-to-be father and never let him forget that KAMILLE IS A MAN’S NAME.
Some messages from his friends:
Congratulations!!
Congrats! (you guys sure pick out the weirdest ways to announce stuff)
I take no responsibility for this!
Grats to Tou-san all over again!
Early this year, my mom saw a gypsy, who told her that her oldest son would have a child within the next year. That would be insane but with the trend of fatherhood going on here, the pattern would fall three years from now.
Congratulations! Congratulations!
The chances of someone doing this was pretty much 1:1, thanks for proving the odds and thanks for the congrats :3
Wait, are you subtly shipping your daughter with otou’s son?
Man, how fast time flies.
Makes me wonder if you’re going to pass the torch to her when it comes to blogging.
his shameful otaku secret was obviously that he wasn’t a biological otou-san until now. now he has to change the site name!
jeeeeeeez. thanks, mister. I’m a bad blogger, I didn’t even realize this post was here LOL.
I only hope that my young Kamille looks as natural standing next to Mazinger as your offspring.
Well I already congratulated you on FB, but congrats again
He’s going to be one of the coolest kids ever, considering his parents!
Impartial viewer here who saw your tweet: your blog is fucking garbage. It’s un-aesthetically pleasing, unoriginal, and boring. While I have issues with the Bishoujo Project too this place doesn’t compare to it in 1000 years.
It’s sad that you’ve been blogging for like 5 years and he’s already tripled your traffic probably. LOL fucking idiot.
wow, you come to my site anonymously, write a shitty ignorant comment on my co-writer’s post congratulating me on having a child, and all to defend a horrible Sankaku clone? I pity your fucking life, man.
I hope he enjoys his traffic, I enjoy not having readers like you.
Bro, bro, sigh. I don’t think you understand. Otou-san, being old and all, has some pretty severe vision problems, so its really cruel of you to ding him on the site design – he can only see really bright colors now, and has to have his seeing-eye hyena type for him and read the comments on here and then type the responses. Its a really bummer situation, but he deals with it pretty well, so could lay off a little bit?
As for the blog being boring, well, the seeing-eye hyena isn’t always great at transcribing what Otou-san tells it, so its difficult to say if the content of the blog is boring because of Otou-san, or if the hyena has gone rogue. Additionally, Otou-san was raised by slime mold after he was orphaned when the Lusitania sank, and, well, slime mold tends to be boring, so it did rub off on him a little bit, although I think the seeing-eye hyena has definitely exacerbated the problem.
But the fact is, Otou-san is a really, genuinely nice guy, and we all love him a lot, so we’re willing to overlook his shortcomings. Maybe you could, too?
Two months to late to celebrate, but congratulations! \o\
