HELL YEAH.

prettyprophet: I’m not normally one to fangirl out…………..but fuck me, TACTICS OGRE. Speaking for myself and nde, when this comes out, expect us to peace out for a while.

Oh yeah, online readers closing up shop. Eh, whatever. Only one thing to say to that: FIGHT IT OUT.

ICO no Graphix: Page 1 – “Save the Princess”

prettyprophet: So you decided on the title of this fancomic of yours?

funny_bunny: Yes! ICO no GRAPHIX! Mayhaps GRAPHIXXX.

prettyprophet: What about Grafuck?

funny_bunny: This is not an EROTIC comic!

prettyprophet: Anyways, as you all can probably tell by the art……Funny here didn’t do this.

funny_bunny: Kenno Arkkan! He is artist! And SUPER SEXY he is!

prettyprophet: The rest of us had nothing to do with this, actually.

funny_bunny: And that is why it is RABBIT REVELRY INC! But it should be Thousand Rabbits. Wink.

prettyprophet: Well that’s fucking obvious. You’re awful at deception.

funny_bunny: You’re still playing the game, are you not?

prettyprophet: The metagame?

funny_bunny: IT’S ALL GAME.

prettyprophet: I’m pretty sure there’s a metagame.

funny_bunny: That is the stuff Ico and Yorda shall experience!

prettyprophet: I read the script for this thing. So……yeah, let’s see if Kenno Arkkan can go along with all of Funny’s whacked out propositions.

funny_bunny: You’ve not read ALL of it…fufufufu.

prettyprophet: Bet you I could figure it out.

funny_bunny: NO BETS WITH YOU, POISONOUS PROPHET.

prettyprophet: Smart kid.

funny_bunny: But let us say…the Great Moon Rabbit decrees that you shan’t? Yes! That sounds good and proper!

prettyprophet: That’s a bet.

funny_bunny: BEGONE. Now! The TRUE reason for this post…ANY ICO AFICIONADO, LET’S MAKE A COMIC TOGETHER! Artists! Images! And so forth! Doujinshi! Fandom! COSPLAYYYYYYY.

prettyprophet: Yeah, because we got SUCH a huge readership here.

funny_bunny: What NEGATIVE thinking!

prettyprophet: Hey, you got my support.

funny_bunny: And what colossal support it is! Worthy of Shadow rape!

prettyprophet: You’d think there’d be more hentai of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

funny_bunny: Too pure, too happiness for even DECADENCE?

prettyprophet: Like I said, you’d think there’d be more.

funny_bunny: So! Email moi! chieffunbuns[at]gmail[dot]com! COMICKING!

prettyprophet: Warning to any newcomers: Funbuns is kinda insane. And a dumbass prone to wild fancies of stupid shit.

funny_bunny: You’ve left out the most important element: I LOVE.

Sex! This post is all about SEX, SEXUALITY, and GENDER. Get ready for half-assed explanations on all that and more! Also featuring Persona yaoi and yuri.

Yo, it’s Prophet. Seeing how it’s Gay and Lesbian Pride Month…….and we skipped our own Yaoi Month last month………..well, here’s something now.

I think it’s apt to talk about this now……..especially because it’s become apparent to me that boys really don’t like yaoi and girls don’t really like hentai. Ok, that’s been apparent for the longest fucking time but let’s review it again……this time with me as the example.

So even in high school, Pat bought yaoi. She went to cons and all that shit, specialty stores, didn’t have a credit card at the time so she used other people’s cards, blah blah blah. I was outraged; no, it wasn’t because of it being GAY. See, my belief is if you’ve got beef with homosexuality, chances are you’re old, you’re conservative (not in the political sense, but that tends to go hand in hand), and/or you’re ‘religious’ aka blindly following whatever the fuck your old and conservative religious leader has to say. Oh, that’s just general though……if you’re a guy and you’re a fag hater, you’re probably closet gay or so insecure about your sexual preferences you need to emphasize your homophobia to everyone in the world so THEY can be sure you’re NOT gay. Anyways, I’m a girl, so I don’t have to worry about anyone giving me shit should I be a lesbian unless I’m a butch dyke……but that’s opening up a whole can of other worms.

No, point of the matter was, Pat had a ton of yaoi and that pissed me off. That pissed me off because I thought it was retarded to have Cloud fuck Squall on a chocobo while Zidane beats off in the bushes. Hell, I still think it’s retarded. But I was militant on it. Like, moreso than right now. Both Peking Duck and I would give her NO end of shit regarding yaoi. We’d take away it whenever we were over; Pat’d get more. And this went on into university. And then I met Funny.

Funny’s one of the few guys I know who actively hits on other guys and girls….often at the same time. And these days, it’s like, “Oh that Funny.” Back then, it was, “What a fucking weirdo.” But he had an opinion of yaoi….and hentai…..doujinshi that really got to me. And that was the phrase “THIS IS CANON”. That seemed like such a dumbass line. How could Cloud fucking Squall on a chocobo while Zidane beats off in the bushes be canon? And that was when I noticed his variations of his phrase. “This SHOULD be canon” compared to “THIS IS CANON”…….and the “should” ones were the completely bullshit pairings…..and the “is” ones were plausible, if not a stretch (well, by my logic. By Funny’s logic, a LOT of things are plausible). And it was like an epiphany…..nah, it WAS an epiphany: denounce the bullshit ones, give the plausible ones a pass and then ignore it because I wasn’t interested in yaoi. That was my stance up to until the Rabbits started scanlating……..which is when things got fucked up.

Remember Hiroaki Samura’s “Brute Love”? That erotic grotesque artbook the Rabbits scanlated? It was goddamn ugly. But it wasn’t totally ugly, was it? That fucking book…..was the first real test, I’d say, to the Rabbits as a group. We did hentai before it, we did yaoi before it, we did all sorts of series. Then “Brute Love”. I bring “Brute Love” up in this because if I could handle “Brute Love”, anyone can handle yaoi, yuri, and hentai, depending on how hardcore they are. You know why? Because this Persona 4 yaoi doujinshi? It’s consensual sex. It’s happy sex. Two people who love each other (though I don’t believe in it, I can see the whole Brosuke angle) fucking. This Persona 4 doujinshi is tentacle rape. I don’t have a problem with tentacles (well, I ain’t hip to squid as food either) but I do have a problem with rape. How someone can work on rape and run the fuck away from yaoi is just a BIT worrisome….because it implies consensual gay sex is SO much worse than some poor girl getting fucked everywhichway without consent. “Well what about YAOI RAPE” some of you might say. Hey, rape’s kinda universal you know, so yeah, it’s also bullshit that you can condone yaoi rape but say, “Ew tentacle hentai demeans women”. So fuck you, yaoigirls and hentaiboys, you don’t have to LIKE or……Moon Rabbit forbid, GET OFF to whatever your opposing porn is. But tolerate it because that shit does not affect YOU.

“But Prophet, I can’t stand how much it misconstrues the reality of whatever!” Hey, and that’s why Trojan ain’t a fan of yaoi; he can dig gay porn, but that’s another story. Hey, that’s why I don’t get off to the majority of this stuff………but guess what? It CAN be arousing, even if reality’s misconstrued; nde and Ink argue that porn’s SUPPOSED to be all “fuck reality”. But if you REALLY have a problem with how something’s being represented, you know what you do? You make your own porn. Or you promote another brand of porn. Say you think tentacle sex could really use a boost in the consensual department, ok, go ahead and pimp that consensual tentacle porn! You’re on the Internet. It’s designed for bringing like-minded people together. “Does mean you want ALL the rape fans to bunch together and promote RAPE?” For one thing, I’d really like it if they did so that way you know those are the people to avoid………..but the fact is, anyone who’d fantasize about rape, tentacle sex, scat, and missionary……they’re going to keep fantasizing about it. Why’d I include missionary? Because fantasy missionary sex has the same value as fantasy anything else. No, wait, it has LESS. Are you that unimaginative that you can only think of MISSIONARY?

This doesn’t mean tentacle rape’s going to get mainstream all of a sudden….and we shouldn’t expect it to. Let’s face it, the world’s not ready for sex beyond whatever religious text the world likes to use…….especially if it involves primal shit that no one speaks about because of sexual repression. Who knows when the world will be when we don’t talk about it, or at least talk about it without a judgment call? Example: erotic grotesque……I don’t like it because the majority’s appears to be just there for shock value. I don’t like it because it has (usually) male on female violence. If I know people who have an obsession with erotic grotesque…….I’ll keep an eye on them, but if they can function without being a total freak that’d freak me out……………in the end, it’s fine. That’s the thing about all this shit we see: it’s art, it’s make-believe, it’s NOT REALLY HAPPENING……if anything, drawn porn seems a lot safer than the real stuff, huh?

Alright, now it just sounds like I’m just trying to justify this, which I am. I want you convinced that porn’s not a big deal. Yeah, yeah, that includes the nonsensical orgies of whatever series. How does porn tie into Gay Pride Month? Because the Rabbits work on porn, homosexual or straight, human or beast. No, I’m not asking you to get off on it; I’m asking for you to work on it because it needs cleaning. Hey, maybe you’ll enjoy it after all! Or you won’t. I cleaned “Brute Love” and I hated it. I’d clean more if I had to. I understand that if anyone reads this post, they probably won’t join the Rabbits. “Christ, Prophet’s going to make me clean shit I don’t want to clean!” Chillax, you’ll never be forced into anything you don’t want to do at the Rabbits (unless you’re Ghost, then Funny’ll ride your ass)……..but I personally don’t get it when people are so adverse to stuff because 1) it’s GAY 2) it’s SEX. Oh hold up, I do get it; people are scared shitless of sex. Well don’t be, because I’m pretty sure sex is going to be around for a while longer.

Long story short: if you’re a guy, don’t get so worked up about yaoi. You see it and it turns you on? Could just be the great artist! Ask yourself, do you get worked up about girl on girl? No? So why the fuck are you so worried about guy on guy? Worried you’re gay? So FUCKING WHAT if you are. There’s no shame in it (but there is, isn’t there? Thank you very much, general religion). Just like there SHOULDN’T be any shame with girls and sex. That’s why yaoi seems so safe to you, right, compared to hentai. You hate hentai because you hate seeing misogynistic garbage, with women being treated as disposable fuckdolls……..but it’s alright if it’s a guy being treated as a disposable fuckdoll. If you’re reading this and you’re the type who only goes for consensual sex and looks down on domination on both camps, good job you. But at the same time……fuck it, let those rape fantasies fly, for both girls and guys. So you want aggression? Have some aggression! Switch shit up! Just don’t get too deep into one thing………which more or less applies to everything in life.

Does all this sound contradictory? Probably. That’s what happens when you deal with something that’s subjective but is somehow believed to be perfectly applicable to everyone in the fucking world. Fuck that, Wonderland, yo.

Rival for the heart? Probably.

Space Pirate Captain Cuteness

Yo Fallen, Prophet here writing this one. Huh, I wonder what this is that schwarz-gold drew? Peace out!

Captain to your heart.

prettyprophet: Alright, so Funny should be doing this but he’s over there……..playing Bayonetta. Why the fuck are we doing this?

Lavie Rhap: Emeraldas sidestory?

prettyprophet: Oh yeah. Anyways, as you may know, ak, Rabbit translator and Leiji aficionado, is peacing out for a bit. So here’s Funny’s send off.

Lavie Rhap: The artist is schwarz-gold, another one of Funny’s fine choices for commissions.

prettyprophet: Be glad he didn’t ask her for a yaoi one.

Lavie Rhap: Or, if you’re of Pat’s persuasion, disappointed.

prettyprophet: Fuck that, there were those two Megaten yaoi.

Lavie Rhap: True. Do you think she’ll receive something like this for her birthday as well?

prettyprophet: That’d make her happy, so I doubt it.

Lavie Rhap: Funny can be quite cruel.

prettyprophet: If it’s to Pat, I’m down with that.

funny_bunny: SEGA’S GREAT!

prettyprophet: If it weren’t for that whole Yakuza 3 bullshit, I’d say they’re doing well.

funny_bunny: CUTENESS IS GREATER!

Lavie Rhap: Anything to add on this commission?

funny_bunny: Yes, Lavie, I do have something to add. People with moneybags must commission lots of Leijiverse sex. And then put alllllllllllll the links into the Rabbit forum. PLEASE DO SO NOW.

prettyprophet: If you’re going to do that, put it all into one thread so there won’t be clutter.

Lavie Rhap: But we could use the activity in the other forums.

prettyprophet: Eh, fuck off, you haven’t posted either.

Lavie Rhap: Will you forgive me?

funny_bunny: NO.

prettyprophet: God, maybe I should look into handling the forum tech myself.

funny_bunny: Then we will have the greatest Leiji forum of all internet and then ak and Fallen will consolidate their powerbase and turn the Rabbits into an ALL LEIJI GROUP. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, YOU PRETTY PROPHET?

prettyprophet: As long as I get some of what I want in there, whatever.

Lavie Rhap: Better strengthen your faction, Funny.

funny_bunny: Then take this gift, oh almighty ak! It is my declaration of WAR.

prettyprophet: That’s right folks, group drama right here!

Lavie Rhap: Ghost’s only series is Food Girls, I believe?

prettyprophet: Yeah, so this’ll be a short war.

funny_bunny: Ohohoho…DON’T FORGET HENTAI AND YAOI!

Lavie Rhap: Truly unconventional warfare.

funny_bunny: Biochemical!

prettyprophet: Rabbits, violating Geneva Protocols whenever we can.

funny_bunny: Ok! Queen Emeraldas commission! From the black-gold artist schwarz-gold! For ak and ADVENTURE! RABBIT REVELRY INC! Clicky pixxx for BIG SEXY RES! Now off with you two, finish thy post!

prettyprophet: Our post? Fuck you, this should be YOUR post.

Lavie Rhap: We’ve yet to finish the Emeraldus release post.

prettyprophet: Shit, oh yeah. Let’s get to that.

Lavie Rhap: Best of luck to your future endeavors, ak.

prettyprophet: Happy travels, yo.

Read on for your go-to guide on how not to be a scanlation group.

prettyprophet: A bit of retrospective, bit of some ego-stroking. Run, if you don’t want any of that.

Alright, anyone left? Let’s set it off:

Starting Up

Part I – Initial Recruitment

You need people. To get people, you need projects. But that leads to people joining just for a select project and not giving a fuck about anything else. So stick with getting people first. Now how are you going to do that without a project? Easy, grab together friends and hope for the best.

funny_bunny, group leader/idiot of the Rabbits, basically asked everyone he knew for help. This includes people without any Photoshop skills, people with no relation to manga or comics in general, people who would never have dealt with scanlation period. The number had to have amounted to over 50. That was three years ago. As of this date, we’re at less than 10……and that’s if everyone’s active. But we couldn’t have started up without that initial mob to make things all hectic………….but this was only because we did a licensed work (ouch, old shame). Technically, we shouldn’t have been able to start up at all since we didn’t have a translator……..which leads to the next point.

Part II – Staff Positions

You’ll want to categorize your staff so you’ll know who’s who and who can do what. Otherwise you get the Rabbits, where we got the majority of the editing staff doing scanning, proofing, cleaning, redrawing, and typesetting altogether. It’s fucking messy.

You may notice one position I left out: translator. This is by far the most important position; obviously, without a translator, you can’t do jack shit of real scanlation, right?

Wrong. If you’re a Rabbit, you can cheat your way out and piggyback onto other groups: we do joints and hire ourselves out as raw providers/editors. Note: other groups’ll be more receptive if you’ve done a few releases; totally new groups probably won’t make much of an impression to established scanlators. Again, Rabbits got lucky on that respect.

Part III – Projects

Now you get to pick something you all want to do, or if you’ve got some wannabe dictators in group, something only one of you wants to do. If you want to lose all credibility, go ahead and do something ten other groups are already doing. If you want to…oh, I don’t know….actually promote fucking manga, maybe you should pick something no one else would do? Course, this could totally backfire, since no one’ll download your stuff if it’s not mainstream.

And that’s why the Rabbits have a whole variety of projects: doujinshi, manhua, manga, porn. You could argue this ALSO alienates viewers……but fuck it, it’s part of the group philosophy. I’ll get to that part later.

Part IV – The Site

Unless you’re running IRC only or….well, just filehosts like mediafire…….you’re going to need a site to host all this. Announcements, direct downloads, whatever. These days, WordPress and Blogspot are godsends to startup scanlators; WordPress was what the Rabbits use and in a way, still use. You want to be clear, organized, and the complete opposite of us. We load up our posts with our chatlogs and random quotes from random shit because………..frankly, just releasing things like that’s boring. If you haven’t figured it out by now, Rabbits aren’t exactly a proper scanlation group.

Part IV and a half – Filehosting and IRC

You need to host your scanlations; how else are people going to read it (aside from online sites but fuck that noise, that’s low-quality)? Filehosts like Mediafire, Megaupload, Depositfiles, they changed everything. Direct downloads for free…….question is, how long is it going to last? Well, that applies to pretty much all servers……so it’s best to have multiple links and multiple ways to get your scanlations. We use both filehosts, an IRC bot, and occassionally BT.

NEVER FUCKING DELETE YOUR FILES. And keep them on a bunch of different computers; you don’t want a single crash to fuck the group.

Survival

Part I – Basic

So you started up a group; that wasn’t so hard, was it? That’s why you always see a new group on Mangaupdates every day, right? And how come you don’t see that new group ever post another release again? Oh right, BECAUSE WORKING ON A BUNCH OF SERIES IS TIME-CONSUMING SHIT.

Ok, it’s not THAT bad, but let’s face it: lifespan for a group ain’t long. Ain’t long because a scanlation group is expendable. You drop a project and a month, a year, two years later…….someone else is going to pick it up and no one’s going to give a shit about your past work. Scanlation means jack all to the rest of the world; you as a scanlator benefit in no way aside from growing resentment at all the annoying motherfuckers who pester you to do things faster; there’s a good chance the author of the work you’re scanlating hates your guts for illegally redistributing the thing and possibly misunderstanding whatever meaning the work had.

That kill your morale? Then fuck off, don’t even start a group.

Part II – Reason

If you start/join a group, honestly ask yourself why you’re doing it. Because I just gave you a bunch of reasons NOT to do it.

So why do the Rabbits do it?

Ask -_-, it’s because he’s bored and/or owes Funny.

Ask ak, he’d probably say something educated-sounding that makes you go, “Damn, this guy knows what he’s talking about”. That and Leiji.

Ask Fallen, she’d definitely say Leiji.

Ask Ghost, he’ll tell you he didn’t have a choice.

Ask holstein, she won’t say anything, but it’s out of spite against Funny.

Ask Lavie, she’s doing it out of the kindness of her heart; not for the readers, but for the Rabbits.

Ask nde, he’s doing it because Funny’s doing it.

Ask Pat, she’s doing it because I’m forcing her to. She’ll probably quit soon.

Ask Funny, and you’re not getting an answer to the question you asked.

And ask me………well, I could go into a whole thing about showing off artists that I like, the power of editing and subtle/not subtle transmission of personal agendas, and promoting philosophies that would normally be ignored………..but I’ve talked about that shit before. Just know that I’m continuing this because we got a good thing going here.

So that didn’t really explain much, did it? Hey, I think it did. See a trend? Funny. That fucking idiot wants the Rabbits to go on……and it will. That makes everything completely disorganized, but that’s why I’m on the admin end. This leads onto another problem, however…….

Part III – Factions

The Rabbits split apart in name early on, The Reich and the Cowslip, to divide between the ‘regular’ releases and the porn. That didn’t change the staff roster at all.

No, the REAL factions are the ones you won’t see: Funny and all the kids he knows off IRC/other scan groups, ak and Fallen representing Leiji, Lavie and myself on overall management………..and a fuckton more with everyone crisscrossing. I say ‘faction’ and it seems negative, but it’s really just a fancy word for saying “everyone’s partial to certain things and tend to have their own motivations within the group”.

See, I’ll want a couple Cowslip releases every so often, for the spice of sex. Pat wants yaoi all the time. We’d compromise, yeah? On the surface level, sure….but what ends up happening is Pat goes to Funny to have him go to Ghost to translate yaoi, sucking away resources from Food Girls. Yeah, we’ve had secret releases within the Rabbits that other Rabbits don’t even know about until the release date. This is what you get for having a group made up of people with totally different motivations.

Part IV – Brand

Then why are the Rabbits still intact? It’s because we’re Rabbits. Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits. Notice the capitalization of that? Notice the repetition? We hammer in the word ‘Rabbit’ into you and by fuck, you’ll remember us. It’s cult brainwashing, yo, making us seem more important than we really are. It doesn’t matter whether or not the public buys into your image; it’s your own people that need to buy into it. And when I say “buy”, I don’t mean thinking “this is really important, what we’re doing here”…….unless that’s the angle you’re going for (but don’t because that’ll probably lead to disillusionment quick). I mean thinking “heh, Rabbits, that’s cute.” Then by tossing around bizarre phases like “Gut ist tot” and “La Revolucion no va ser Bein”, you’ll give your crew something to laugh about and the rest of the world something to go WTF about.

It’s really all about being part of something that ain’t totally scanlation. You don’t want to be a scanlation group just about scanlation. You’re going to have a hell of a turnover rate.

Part V – Rivalry

You’ll want enemies. Enemies’ll make you go, “Look at those fuckers. Jacking our projects that aren’t really ours because it’s not like we’re actually publishers or anything.” Or “Wow, that’s shit editing. Makes our shit editing jobs look like platinum!” Not going to say who our enemies are because I don’t give a fuck but I know Ghost and Funny do.

Part VI – Drama

Say you got a group implosion on your hands. Don’t let your readership know……..because they don’t care. What seems life-or-death to you is fuck all to them. Have I ever mentioned how close the Rabbits are to collapsing? Course I have; I’ve said it so many times it’s totally normal for us. And that’s the Rabbit trick; we make it seem like we’re all at each other’s throats throughout every post (ok, we really are at each other’s throats) because it’s so much more amusing for ourselves that way. But you’re not going to know about old school Rabbits dropping out of the group unless I’m specifically mentioning them to generate interest in some recruitment post.

Keep the actual drama low; exaggerated stuff on high.

Part VI – Genre

Fuck genre.

That’s all you have to know.

Part VI – Porn

Wait, let’s backtrack to genre. Genre should be fucked because it labels your group as a “girls club” or “boys club” group. That’s bullshit. Maybe in Japan, but you’re in Wonderland now. We do whatever the fuck we want, age and gender be damned. Naturally, since the majority of group would be of ‘adult’ status, we lean towards ‘adult’ series. We got ladies and gentlemen and we cater to both……..but since our translators are both male, this leads to our porno wing being dominated by hentai. That’s the official stance; unofficial is because hentai’s shorter and easier to do compared to yaoi. Plus the boys are less picky.

This leads……..surprise! To another point!

Part VII – Legitimacy

Kotonoha. If you’ve paid attention to the scan scene at all for the past years, you’d know who they are and not because they’re a godawful speedscan group; hell no, they’re the opposite. They’re the closest we got to arthouse. Mangascreener. They’ve been around for fuck knows how long. They’re the closest we got to Hollywood; not in the derogative sense, but for sheer longevity and variety. I like to use those two groups as examples of ‘legit’ groups. They’re not ‘insert-genre’ groups; it’s pure ‘comic’.

The Rabbits aren’t legit. Rabbits won’t ever be legit.

One: we do porn. Even worse, we’ll do extreme porn. Even worse than that, we’ll do porn for both genders. That’ll cause division in the public and raise the morality police.

Two: we’re outsiders. Aside from Funny’s contacts in the scan scene, the majority of the Rabbits don’t deal with any of the other groups outside of joints. We don’t deal with Mangahelpers, we don’t deal with Bakaupdates, we don’t deal with Manganews. We’re not a community outside of ourselves and even then we’re fractioned.

Three: we’re freaks. I’m the PR Rabbit and I’m not exactly the pinnicle of friendliness. The group leader’s an insane pixie and the rest of the Rabbits are so haphazardly organized, any new member not scared off by the initial confusion is going to peace the fuck out once the reality sinks in.

Four: we did a licensed series to start up the group. Old shame, yo.

Five: we do doujinshi. That’s right, fanwanks put alongside actual artists. Course, we also realize actual artists do doujinshi as well, so naysayers can fuck off. To be fair, I was a naysayer myself for awhile.

Six: we whore ourselves out for money. Commissions, mostly porn for now, but that pretty much ruins any chance we have at being a group doing it for the sake of scanlation, no matter what we say.

Seven: we’re Rabbits. We didn’t start serious and we ain’t ending serious.

Part VIII – Luck

You feeling lucky, punk? You better, because that’s what you’re going to need for a scanlation group. You’re going to need luck and you’re going to need moxie to gather together a group, keep them intact, and continue scanlating some longass series that could end halfassed. A number of us were ALREADY friends before the Rabbits. ak just so happened to VOLUNTEER his translating services. A few donations that were HUGE boosted our finances. We have a maniac leader who won’t bow down to things like rationality and common sense.

The Moral is…

In all respects, the Rabbits shouldn’t exist. We’re not that impressive of a group in comparison to any other group. But we’re here and we’re doing our own thing. Maybe one day we’ll switch gears, become a full-blown anime-dedicated site (not fucking likely)…..but we’ll still be Rabbits, whatever the hell that means.

What do I think it means? I think when I see jackbooted jackrabbits stomping down the street…….everyone can look back at us and say, “Those fucking bastards, they made the Rabbit Apocalypse.”

Fuck it, I’m playing some Megaten.

Rabbit Revelry, Inc. presents…Bellend!

prettyprophet: So Funny shows this to me and tells me to post it.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Nooo he told ME.

prettyprophet: Which is equivalent to telling ME because you’re going to fuck things up, forget links and so forth.

Kawaii Pattycakes: I am not!

prettyprophet: Ok, do it then.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Funny commissioned INFINITE SPACE art! I don’t know why but it’s probably because Yuri’s so yummy!

prettyprophet: It was because the boys just couldn’t stop laughing over the whole Fame points thing. In-game, it’s abbreviated as FAP. Yes, the majority of this group is immature.

Kawaii Pattycakes: We ALL laughed!

prettyprophet: I never said I wasn’t immature. But those fucking idiots just WON’T STOP BRINGING IT UP.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Ok………now what am I supposed to say?

prettyprophet: Titled “Infinite Fap”, Nia x Yuri, commissioned from Bellend who apparently also goes by the nick endpiece? I think that’s what Funny said. Anyways, you can check him out at the links above.

Kawaii Pattycakes: I think Kira is better for Yuri.

prettyprophet: God, you and your incest.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Too bad it’s not TWINCEST.

prettyprophet: Too bad it’s not really incest, huh?

Kawaii Pattycakes: I know but those two are so pretty together…….BUT GIRL!YURI X GIRL!IAN…………YURI!

prettyprophet: That was just crossdressing, yo.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Why didn’t they take YURI? OH GOD FUNBUNS COMMISSION THAT NEXT!

prettyprophet: Funny, when you read this, I swear to the Moon Rabbit, if you ever take advice from Pat, I’m stomping your face in.

Kawaii Pattycakes: He already said he never would!

prettyprophet: Oh yeah, the My Life as King thing. Anyways, we’re wasting time here. I got Gun Frontier work.

Kawaii Pattycakes: And I’m playing FF!

prettyprophet: Yeah, because that really, really helps us out. You fucking slut.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Thank you Bellend for making dreams happen! If you ever feel like doing more Infinite Space, could it be yaoi, please?

prettyprophet: Bellend, if you ever happen to read this, disregard anything she says.

The Respectable Rabbit Rewards 2009, Pleinnies. Blah blah blah, we left out stuff because no one played them/didn’t play them enough, and whatever. Again, no 360 games (a bunch were multi-platform anyways, so not like it matters). For this round, there’ll only be three judges because……no one else is here. So I’m just going to assume their choices. And I’m not using any pictures for awards. I’m lazy. Alright, let’s rock.

++++++

2009 in Review

prettyprophet: It was kinda crap. Quantity-wise, compared to 2008.

nde: Quality wasn’t bad. Two Megatens.

funny_bunny: Three with PERSONA PSP.

prettyprophet: All those fucking delays though……I wanted some Alpha Protocol and Bayonetta.

nde: Pat wanted Agarest War.

prettyprophet: She’s not here, fuck her.

funny_bunny: I WANT AGAREST WAR.

prettyprophet: So yeah, a lot of shit got delayed. All into the first three months of next year. Facing the juggernaut of FFXIII. And all the others. Great plan.

funny_bunny: It’s ok, there was still lots of fun. ONTO THE AWARDS!

Most Fuckable Female

prettyprophet: Chloe Frazer aka Aeryn Sun and Morrigan. And hey, Drake got it on with her. Two hot people together? That’s top in my book. [Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]

nde: Caterina Sforza. Chances are likely. [Assassin's Creed II]

funny_bunny: KOKONOE!!! MECHA-TAGER!!! [Blazblue: Calamity Trigger]

ed’s probable choice: Sheva. In his words, “THAT FUCKING ASS.” [Resident Evil 5]

Pat’s probable choice: She’d probably be torn between Kongiku and Litchi Faye-Ling. [Muramasa: The Demon Blade] and [Blazblue: Calamity Trigger]

Ink’s probable choice: None. He’s the most asexual of us all.

Lavie’s probable choice: Farseer Idranel. Ok, I don’t know, I just remember Lavie played Dawn of War II. [Dawn of War 2]

1000 Rabbit Consensus: The ladies of Blazblue for sheer fetish-covering capabilities.
Honorable Mention: Cross Edge for sheer fan-wank-bulk.

++++++

Most Fuckable Male

prettyprophet: Nathan Drake. You bet your ass I made him wet. Tenzin was also a manly man AND a father…..so we’ll count Tenzin instead, since Drake’s not a new character. [Uncharted 2: Among Thieves]

nde: Ragna the Bloodedge. A lot of people seem to want him. [Blazblue: Calamity Trigger]

funny_bunny: PROTAGONIST! It is because he looks like nde and that is sexy. [Devil Survivor]

ed’s probable choice: Seth. [Street Fighter IV]

Pat’s probable choice: Croix Bartel. He’s got glasses. And takes them off. Uh, I guess that’s hot? Whatever, Pat’s a Japanophile slut and Ar Tonelico 2 was a mess. [Ar Tonelico 2]

Ink’s probable choice: Asexual motherfucker, remember?

Lavie’s probable choice: Leonardo da Vinci. Charming, wasn’t he? Too bad he’s gay. [Assassin's Creed II]

1000 Rabbit Consensus: The men of Blazblue for sheer fetish-covering capabilities. Yes, again.
Honorable Mention: Cross Edge for sheer fan-wank-bulk. Yes, again. Devil Survivor wasn’t too bad on this either.

++++++

Most Fan-Fantasy Friendly

prettyprophet: You’d think, “Oh shit, Blazblue, Devil Survivor, that shit’s loaded with fetish fuel…” and that makes something fan-wankable. Not for me. See, Blazblue’s totally wrapped in its own world, with fuck knows how much of the story unrevealed. People can pair up Litchi and Bang all they want, but then Arc can come out of left field and be like, “Nah, she hooked up with Hazama.” See, shit’s canon with Blazblue. Devil Survivor, not so much, so that’ll get props from me; personally though, that only takes place over a week. Not enough in-game time for real development. So there’s only two games that registered for Fan-Fantasy: Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy and Dragon Age: Origins……….and I’m giving it to Dragon Age thanks to modding. Yeah, I don’t have the PC version, but fuck it. Mana Khemia 2 I still think rocks for the whole school-life deal…..but hey, it’s Bioware. [Dragon Age: Origins]

nde: Technically, Cross Edge is complete fan-fantasy. I’m picking Dragon Age. [Dragon Age: Origins]

funny_bunny: Devil Survivor because apocalypses are AWESOME. [Devil Survivor]

ed’s probable choice: Won’t care.

Pat’s probable choice: Devil Survivor.

Ink’s probable choice: Cross Edge because of the technicality. [Cross Edge]

Lavie’s probable choice: Cross Edge, same reason. [Cross Edge]

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Cross Edge gets it almost by default; I mean, NIS characters alone is wank-worthy…..then they toss in Etna, Prinnies, and the Darkstalkers crew. PLUS the girls all get costumes. Talk about playing to boys.
Honorable Mention: Dragon Age: Origins. In a few years, there’ll be quality mods. That’s right, spiky-haired anime guys in Dragon Age soon!

++++++

Most Wanted to Drown in the Depths of Obscurity So We Don’t Have to Hear Anymore Idiotic Fan Arguments/Masturbation Sessions

prettyprophet: Talk to me when there are more Blazblue characters.

nde: Modern Warfare 2 isn’t that good.

funny_bunny: DAMN YOU MW2 FOR DELAYS.

ed’s probable choice: Doesn’t care.

Pat’s probable choice: MW2.

Ink’s probable choice: MW2.

Lavie’s probable choice: Doesn’t mind.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Modern Warfare 2. Just because Ed and the boys won’t fucking stop playing it.
Honorable Mention: Blazblue: Calamity Trigger is not the second coming of Christ.

++++++

Most Likely to Transplant Self Into

prettyprophet: Dragon Age did it.

nde: Rune Factory: Frontier.

funny_bunny: Since moi picked Devil Survivor last time, I’ll go Dragon Age! BUT DEVIL SUMMONER 2 IS COOL TIME PERIOD.

ed’s probable choice: Doesn’t care.

Pat’s probable choice: Devil Survivor.

Ink’s probable choice: Afrika.

Lavie’s probable choice: God-Queen Lavie of the British Empire in Empire: Total War.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Dragon Age. If you want to know how to make the Rabbits: I’m (prophet) a female rogue City Elf, Chaotic Good. nde’s a male elven mage (Neutral), Funny’s a male warrior noble (whatever he feels like), and Lavie would be a female warrior Dalish Elf (Neutral Good).
Honorable Mention: Devil Survivor. Multiple endings with multiple character types. Also, MEGATEN.

++++++

Most Educational Game That Can Be Applied to Our Daily Lives

prettyprophet: Rock is power. Thanks, Brutal Legend.

nde: The world is really sci-fi, says Assassin’s Creed II.

funny_bunny: Cake makes you fat in Fat Princess!

ed’s probable choice: Won’t learn anything.

Pat’s probable choice: Dancing from Project DIVA.

Ink’s probable choice: Not a clue what he learned.

Lavie’s probable choice: Colonize the fuck out of the world in Empire: Total War.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Uh, there wasn’t really any game made us feel educated, right? Last year, P4 had us walking away saying, “Yeah, friendship and facing your true self is pretty cool.” This year? Eh, fuck it, let’s make it Brutal Legend and the power of ROCK.
Honorable Mention: Empire: Total War for geography.

++++++

Game That Everyone Has But Is Still Unbeaten

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Cross Edge. Pat was all, “Have to play the hard mode to get true end!” So we did. Fuck me, it was hard. I think nde and me are only on the 4th map, Funny’s only….a little bit past that, and Pat, fuck knows. Point is, grinding like a motherfucker is not compatible with university life.
Honorable Mention: Just Cross Edge

++++++

Awesome Game That We Haven’t Played Until This Year For Some Reason or Another

prettyprophet: Mass Effect (2008, PC). Never got into it. Now I did, for Mass Effect 2.

nde: Freedom Force vs. the 3rd Reich (2005, PC).

funny_bunny: Folklore (2007, PS3) because FINALLY GOT HDTV.

ed’s probable choice: Advanced Warfighter 2 (2007, PS3).

Pat’s probable choice: Ibara (2006, PS2).

Ink’s probable choice: Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (2007, DS).

Lavie’s probable choice: Time Hollow (2008, DS).

1000 Rabbit Consensus: …..pick one yourself.
Honorable Mention: See above.

++++++

Most Disappointing Game That We Knew Would Be Disappointing

prettyprophet: Street Fighter IV. Totally did not care about it; played it…..eh. And Seth, fuck Seth.

nde: Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. Keeps going downhill.

funny_bunny: Afro Samurai! I GOT IT CHEAP.

ed’s probable choice: Anything that people like.

Pat’s probable choice: Eh, she didn’t show any hate. Maybe Borderlands.

Ink’s probable choice: I know he didn’t care for New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Lavie’s probable choice: Don’t know.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Street Fighter IV. Didn’t excite anyone except a few of the diehard SF Rabbits, roster was bland, and had a really lazy end boss.
Honorable Mention: Resident Evil 5……..yeah, RE co-op? Great. RE AI? Not great.

++++++

Most Disappointing Game That Sucker Punched Us in the Solar Plexus

prettyprophet: Class of Heroes you say? Cool, Etrian Odyssey in school! Yeah, kinda! What’s that, clumsy as all shit interface? Oh fuck this.

nde: Borderlands. Didn’t buy it.

funny_bunny: Fat Princess did not have enough CRAZY.

ed’s probable choice: Won’t admit it, but probably MW2.

Pat’s probable choice: Would not shut the fuck up about how they took out the Japanese voice track in Ar Tonelico 2: Melody of Metafalica.

Ink’s probable choice: Don’t know.

Lavie’s probable choice: Little King’s Story. Forgot the reason.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Class of Heroes. We actually hyped this thing a bit, if you can remember. Then it came and it was like, “Ugh, not dealing with this.” Pat and Funny went back to Etrian, Trojan played for a while, and Devil Survivor came out not long after.
Honorable Mention: Fat Princess. That got tuned out after a month.

++++++

Most Awesome Game That We Knew Would be Awesome

prettyprophet: Dragon Age. This is actually a bit iffy, because I got it for the PS3. I just counted on the overall thing to be good across platforms and hey, BIOWARE. Then again, there was Jade Empire…..

nde: Devil Survivor. Megaten.

funny_bunny: Devil Survivor. MEGATEN.

ed’s probable choice: He’d say MW2 but we all know he’s lying.

Pat’s probable choice: Devil Survivor, Megaten, etc.

Ink’s probable choice: No clue.

Lavie’s probable choice: Empire: Total War. She loves the series.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Devil Survivor. True, neither Kaneko or Soejima was on art……but Suzuhito Yasuda, who did Ebony & Ivory in Robot, we liked. Apocalyptic disaster scenario with demons? Hell yes.
Honorable Mention: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Played the shit out of the demo.

++++++

Most Awesome Game That Was Totally Inconceivable

prettyprophet: Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now I had a feeling it’d be good, thanks to the demo, Paul Dini, Kevin Conroy, Arleen Sorkin, and MARK FUCKING HAMILL…..but hey, things could get fucked. It’s a superhero game, it’s a Batman game; it’s supposed to suck, right? Wrong, cunt.

nde: Assassin’s Creed II. I liked it more than the first.

funny_bunny: Crimson Gem Saga?? Sequel to the DAMNABLE ASTONISHIA STORY???? BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

ed’s probable choice: He liked Afro Samurai. Why? Moon Rabbit knows.

Pat’s probable choice: Won’t admit it, but Dragon Age. Dating sims, yo.

Ink’s probable choice: He said something about Muramasa. I’ll just take it as a positive thing.

Lavie’s probable choice: Dragon Age. She wasn’t that enthusiastic once she found out it was multi-platform.

1000 Rabbit Consensus: Batman: Arkham Asylum for reasons I listed. Only losers like ed didn’t like it. C’mon, you don’t want to be like ED THE FUCKER, do you?
Honorable Mention: No one really cared for Assassin’s Creed. Somehow Assassin’s Creed II felt so much more awesome.

++++++

Gaming in hard sex mode.

prettyprophet: We figured since we’ve done enough of these ‘reviews’, ’roundtables’, and whatever, it’s about time for us to tell everyone our basic biases and preferred genres through lists, because, you know, lists REALLY tell you everything you need to know about a person, right? This first one only applies to GAMES though; it’s the only thing all of the Thousand Rabbits are actually interested in together. Yeah, I know, movies, comics, books…but those tend to get pretty specific. Anyways, now you can pick whoever to read and ignore all those other cunts.

Something you should remember though:

Lavie Rhap usually does ‘purchase guides’. Basically she’s just talking about whether or not it’s a good buy.

prettyprophet, aka me, usually does ’roundtables’. I either sit down with a couple of the others and we talk about whatever…..or I just get random thoughts from everyone and stitch a post together from that. Kinda like this one.

funny_bunny usually does…something. Sometimes he’ll do straight-up reviews, sometimes he’ll do nonsensical writings. We have no fucking clue.

…While nde, Pat, Ed and Ink don’t write anything.

Anyways, here:

funny_bunny: BE YOUR TRUE GAME.

++++++++

prettyprophet: And that’s us. Course, these lists are prone to change at any given time, so…..yeah, have fun figuring that out.

Images from Be Your True Mind, Hyung-taekim.org, and Google. Sorry about the lack of Western artists; these were just easier to find.

Connect iPhone to your computer, click the Info tab in iTunes, click Configure in the Contacts section, then enter your current ID and password.”

Porn: Not Funny; ‘Tis Vile #1

prettyprophet: In light of all this brouhaha on rape and porn and all that good stuff, we decided it would be best to make light. And by “we” I mean “me” because……well I don’t feel like waiting half a year for Funny to draw whatever. Besides, this is more than adequate, right?

Kawaii Pattycakes: I want to say stuff but Prophet won’t let me!

prettyprophet: Because you’re a very poor representation of the rational game-playing, anime-watching community. Hell, you’re probably one of the worst.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Smut has not made me a bad person.

prettyprophet: Whenever Pat’s drunk, she tries to rape nde.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Hey!

prettyprophet: Oh, by that I mean she’s not actually drunk but she uses that as an excuse to cop a feel. You fucking predator.

Kawaii Pattycakes: I’d use sad emoticons but you won’t let me do that too.

prettyprophet: Yeah, my fist is pretty iron.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Tentacles! Tentacle yaoi…

prettyprophet: Tentacles.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Why’s this 1000 Rabbits? It was all you!

prettyprophet: Because I asked Funny to do the old man’s dialogue. And the tentacle was Ed.

Kawaii Pattycakes: When are we doing more yaoi……………

prettyprophet: Funny showed me the doujinshi.

Kawaii Pattycakes: IT’S HERE!?!

prettyprophet: Go talk to him. Probably being scanned yo, so you ain’t getting your hands on them yet.

Kawaii Pattycakes: They’re being scanned…….and BENT….BAWWWWW…..

prettyprophet: Scanlation, ugly, sexy business.

Kawaii Pattycakes: Byebye! We’re going out for pho!

prettyprophet: Rabbits bringing you liberty, lunacy, and love.
