I consider it a spoiler to listen to music from an anime I may someday watch. Let’s hope Yuki-nee works on something I’d never watch, like El Cazador de la Bruja II.
Who said I’m not suicidal? I did jump off a bridge that one time.
The comic from the video explains all there is to know about the Baka- part, but the Raptor part has just a little more to it. The missing link is buried somewhere in this site…
Interesting idea. I consider the worst period in my blog’s history to be the three months in 2008 when I didn’t watch any anime but ran my blog as normal. Hopefully you’ll fare a lot better than I did, and I do think your format allows for it (plus your ridiculous post backlog). FIVE MORE YEARS!!!
Also this beats the shit out of the 4th anniversary post I was planning… maybe I should start over…
Good question. Anime has been my dominant hobby for about 10 years. I have no clue what I’ll do. Watch more sports? Try reading more manga? Get a girlfriend? Your guess is as good as mine.
Manga is perfectly fine, which would certainly make my anime ban less harsh if I ever read manga that wasn’t the basis of a finished/fillerized shounen anime.
take up a sport)
i liked dinosaurs when i was 12. then i found out they are very boring, espeacially cause they don’t exist anymore. i went on to cuter real things like racoons. btw, jurassic park 3 was okay from what i remember.
LOLOLOLOL it is a pretty crappy album but by a pretty great band. It does have the ingeniously titled song “I Know You’re Fucking Someone Else” which is cheerfully chanted throughout parts of the song.
Oh man, never again. (That took way too much effort, not least of all convincing Impz to even contribute anything, convinced as he (rightly) was about the might of the psgels army.)
That would be impossible. If I can’t think about jerking off, there’s no way I’d be able to read Claymore. I can give up anime, but not the Claymore manga, not in a million years.
Your artist ability is quite amazing, I assume the reason you never followed up on that to become an profession artist is because you don’t want to work in burger king?
In high school I had to choose between art and music. I chose music. But even if I chose that as a profession, I’d still be flippin’ dem burgers at Wendy’s.
Most depressing episode of Talk-A-Raptor? Probably.
I hope you have some astounding plan to avoid living the (barely, marginally) most boring year of your life.
Like a fiendish MLM plan. Or a desire to actually come into the next console generation. Or an ill-concieved plan to abandon all pretenses at lucrative employment and lose like thirty pounds and take on Manny Pacquiao for his most recent Super welterweight world champion title.
This is all a cleverly disguised post to cover up the fact that you’re pulling in too many hours at the firm isn’t it? ISN’T IT? 3000 billable hours it is!
Everything like this sounds hard until you try it. Then it turns out, meh. You didn’t need it after all.
Besides: Naruto will still be going, and it will still suck, there will only be one new Evangelion movie, and pretty much nothing else will change drastically in that year.
Federal Open Market Committee
Good luck!
20 points!
I always forget whether it’s committee or commission. Maybe I should figure out a way to mentally associate it with the best song ever:
I never realized the deep levels of satire in this apparently simple children’s movie… ah the years of my youth Ive wasted.
Neither did most French kids, which is why France is the nightmarish bureaucratic nanny state it is today.
you watched babar at childhood too ?
That video reminds me how contemporary/modern democracy sucks the most. Fuck those bastards deputy/senators of the republic who are corrupt as hell.
What my life would be if i could have a T-Rex as a king ?
Ahh…my life…
While we’re at it:
May this not intrude upon your listenings of Kajiura’s future works. I’d be disappointed if you abandoned your waifu in this way :3
I consider it a spoiler to listen to music from an anime I may someday watch. Let’s hope Yuki-nee works on something I’d never watch, like El Cazador de la Bruja II.
Now I realize why you seem a bit brooding at times: you’ve taken way too many awful courses. It’s amazing you’re not suicidal.
BTW, I always thought Baka-Raptor’s name came from the fact that the T-Rex was so stupid he thought he was a Raptor.
Who said I’m not suicidal? I did jump off a bridge that one time.
The comic from the video explains all there is to know about the Baka- part, but the Raptor part has just a little more to it. The missing link is buried somewhere in this site…

Also this beats the shit out of the 4th anniversary post I was planning… maybe I should start over…
Maybe? MAYBE? First you slander me, then you say MAYBE you’ll try not to suck in comparison?
It’s no longer my goal to whatever that post said. But w/e I already deleted the post I was planning before.
Not going to be a problem for your blog considering the humongous amount of unpublished posts you have, but I hope your eyes get better
A lot of my posts are still in draft mode because they suck. No matter, if I run out of good ones, I’ll just keep writing random reviews.
Sorry, Baka-Raptor, I couldn’t finish the video because I kept getting asked by people around me whether I’m watching RWJ, whatever the fuck that is.
1 year without anime, eh. Interesting enough, considering what Dez691 said . . . .
Awwwwwww fuuuuuuuuuuuck, a little digging shows that RWJ is Ray William Johnson, the guy Maddox objectively critiques in this video:
I’ll show up in the next video with a different haircut.
A year is a really long time.
I’ve been reading up on relativity. If I stand really still, a year should pass me by in no time. Or run really fast. I keep forgetting which.
great video !! what other hobbies you will do besides video games ?
Good question. Anime has been my dominant hobby for about 10 years. I have no clue what I’ll do. Watch more sports? Try reading more manga? Get a girlfriend? Your guess is as good as mine.
well… i think you will do all three or more !
Welp, at least your eyes should finally be allowed to heal.
What about manga?
Manga is perfectly fine, which would certainly make my anime ban less harsh if I ever read manga that wasn’t the basis of a finished/fillerized shounen anime.
why would you not want to watch anime for a year? more importantly, are you sure you’ll hold out?
ps. i used to like dinosaurs too.
Used to? Where did you lose your way? Jurassic Park III? (I didn’t see it.)
I’ve been putting off other things for anime for 10 years. I can take a year to catch up.
take up a sport)
i liked dinosaurs when i was 12. then i found out they are very boring, espeacially cause they don’t exist anymore. i went on to cuter real things like racoons. btw, jurassic park 3 was okay from what i remember.
hey sir dinosaur
you can technically still watch Wakfu, since it’s drawn in France
(embed fail)
equivocation! fuck yeah
That was part of the plan. There’s not much other Non-Japanese Anime-like Animation that I’m familiar with.
Why so tsundere about anime?
I’m more yandere about it. Anime has betrayed me in recent years with piles of moe “slice-of-life” crap. Now I’m going after it with a machete.
There’s actually an album out there called Origin of the Feces.
I’d hate it. I’m AB+.
LOLOLOLOL it is a pretty crappy album but by a pretty great band. It does have the ingeniously titled song “I Know You’re Fucking Someone Else” which is cheerfully chanted throughout parts of the song.
man good luck with this!
I personally don’t think I could ever do such a thing unless I had something else to waste my time on all day everyday XD
Given how much anime you watch, I can’t imagine you doing this. With that said, I do think it’s easier than posting for 365 consecutive days.
I might be bringing that project back next year too cause I feel I was more motivated in general to post other stuff along with it LOL
Hrm, Spring 2011 season starts a bit after 2 weeks. Might want to consider extending Rule #8 to a month.
All the Spring 2011 previews I’ve read at other blogs say everything is going to suck. When are they ever wrong?????
Actually, I think this season is better than almost all of the past many seasons.
5 years on baka-raptor.com > 5 years on HMS Beagle
Darwin wasn’t around for the theory of relativity. I, on the other hand, have mastered time dilation.
Wow. I think your computer might actually be louder than mine.
On a side note, I watched Jurassic Park today, and it still kicks ass.
Clever girl…
My laptop is made of a Koala bear, an alligator, a whale, a lizard, and a de-barked dog.
Within two weeks then, you’ll be watching anime again…
C’mon, you can’t stop watching anime, otherwise the balance in the universe would be compromised.
Is this some evil plot to extinct humans and put dinosaurs back to rule mother earth?
I will be watching anime within two weeks. It’ll simply fall under one of the exceptions. Don’t get excited though, the exceptions will not be abused.
Well well well, look who finally decided to make another vid.
Your turn!
Oh man, never again. (That took way too much effort, not least of all convincing Impz to even contribute anything, convinced as he (rightly) was about the might of the psgels army.)
I think I am a fan of The Ghost of Pizza-Raptor. of course, as a lover of dinosaurs, this made me smile way too much.
But…no anime for an entire year? I…would not be capable of that. You are stronger than I.
I’ll lend my anime-watching powers to you for the year. 150 or bust.
My appreciation knows no bounds 🙂
Now i suggest a more tactical chalenge for you Baka-Raptor, Take a full year vacations without even thinking about jerking-off… i doubt you could even pass the single weekend. My personal record is two months as you know it from here: http://glothelegend.wordpress.com/2010/06/09/follow-my-quest-to-not-jerk-off/#comment-4785
That would be impossible. If I can’t think about jerking off, there’s no way I’d be able to read Claymore. I can give up anime, but not the Claymore manga, not in a million years.
Probably you’ll change your decision within 2 weeks after seeing Madoka Magica 😛 (I havent seen it yet,telling from all the hype it has got!)
It’s tentatively on my to-watch list. I’ll make it official when final reviews come in.
Your artist ability is quite amazing, I assume the reason you never followed up on that to become an profession artist is because you don’t want to work in burger king?
In high school I had to choose between art and music. I chose music. But even if I chose that as a profession, I’d still be flippin’ dem burgers at Wendy’s.
Official Rule Clarification: Openings and Endings are allowable under the AMV exception.
There are many exceptions in all this thing I see. 😛
Most depressing episode of Talk-A-Raptor? Probably.
I hope you have some astounding plan to avoid living the (barely, marginally) most boring year of your life.
Like a fiendish MLM plan. Or a desire to actually come into the next console generation. Or an ill-concieved plan to abandon all pretenses at lucrative employment and lose like thirty pounds and take on Manny Pacquiao for his most recent Super welterweight world champion title.
Plan? That would just make things more depressing.
It’s about time to upgrade consoles, if I want to keep up with my lifelong pace of perpetually being 5 years behind on gaming.
Boxing is out of the question. Raptors/T-Rexes/Deinonychus have terrible reach.
Anniversary! Bring out the cake and other anniversary-like things!
I’ll bet you two old burritos and some pocket lint that you won’t make it through the year.
Would The Boondocks count as anime?
I see your bet and raise you a packet of hot sauce.
The Boondocks is not anime.
Your tags amused me. It distract me from whatever you were saying
My face usually does that. At least you’re not objectifying me.
What the bloody hell, you’re not a dinosaur! You’re a yucky human! D:
I revert to human form once a month. My claws recede and my hair turns black.
This is all a cleverly disguised post to cover up the fact that you’re pulling in too many hours at the firm isn’t it? ISN’T IT? 3000 billable hours it is!
3000 hours is nothing. 65 million years ago, there were only 23.5 hours in a day, and we had to bill 4000 hours!
Everything like this sounds hard until you try it. Then it turns out, meh. You didn’t need it after all.
Besides: Naruto will still be going, and it will still suck, there will only be one new Evangelion movie, and pretty much nothing else will change drastically in that year.
Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for taking the easy route. Since it’s not so hard, care to join me?
