Welcome to the first of three patriotic holidays I observe as part of my blogging.

Also posted to Crazy Eddie's Motie News here.

Last night was the season premiere of "True Blood," so as a fan, I would be remiss if I didn't mention it as part of a series of fan posts. Knowing me, you'll expect a music video, and you'd be right. However, I'm not posting "Bad Things," even though the current opening sequence really does a good job of depicting the sex, violence, and weirdness of both the show and its setting (Vampires in the deep south? Really? Dude, that's so wrong! No, actually, it isn't). Instead, I'm posting "You get what you pay for" the end title theme from season three, which features Felicia Day. Two fandoms in one--you can't go wrong.*



*Actually, three. I checked out Jason Charles Miller's Wikipedia page and it turns out he's the English voice actor for a bunch of anime shows that I've watched. It's always a good day when I learn something new.

One of my favorite anime series is Scrapped Princess, which was the first running series at University of Michigan's Animania that I saw all the way through at club meetings. Its TV Tropes entry calls it "one of the better series you're probably not watching." I agree. It's in the top 5-10% of all anime I've watched and I've watched a lot of anime. I've even called it "The best series that no one so far doing this meme seems to have watched."

One of my favorite parts of the anime is the end theme. Here's the TV-sized version of it in Japanese.



Now, to make this post extra fannish, here is an English fan dup.



Surprisingly good.

In which the fan artists fix the ending, which was the only thing really wrong with the original.
