Yesterday someone posted the second ED from Mahoromatic to YouTube. This is my favorite of the two endings, although the other one is pretty catchy too.
Warning: This song is an infection. I’m serious. You will need antibiotics to get this tune out of your head.
UPDATE: In the comments below Pixy links to a much nicer, crisper version with helpful subtitles.
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
The Terrible New Thing
Fidget spinners are ruining education! We need to... oh, never mind the fad is over. This is not the first time we've had a dumb moral panic.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Word is that both songs are popular at conventions for on-stage cosplay performances. Of course, it doesn’t help that they’re both a little bit ecchi, but I particularly like the way the second ED sneaks up on what it’s really about. Definitely a good song.
The ED of the summer special wasn’t anything like as good, and the animation behind it was a complete waste of time.

I just noticed that I loused up my comment. I meant to say that it doesn’t hurt that they’re both a bit ecchi…
That’s funny. You typed it wrong, but I read it the way you intended. I didn’t notice you’d messed up until you pointed it out.
