+7 Testicular Power

29Jul09

Now, I do my fair share of anime watching. I’ve seen a lot over the years so I guess I could be considered semi-knowledgable in this line of information. However,  I never thought I’d see an anime based so hugely on balls. Last time this sort of thing happened was with the anime My Balls. And that’s crazy. I’m not talking hentai either, so perverts you can quit weighing on my every word for when I finally tell you what this magical anime is called. It’s called Pom Poko, which translates strictly into… Raccoon Testicles.

They're bombing something or another with a bomb of their own.

You heard correctly. The anime is about Raccoon Testicles. Raccooooon Testicles. Okay, My Balls was a little iffy but I’ll give that one a chance. I’ll probably watch that. But Pom Poko… IT’S BASED ON RACCOON TESTICLES. I’m just dumbfounded. Japan, I salute you. You managed to make an anime, and a successful one at that, based completely on magical raccoon testicles. I’m telling you, I couldn’t make this shit up!

Quoted from Wikipedia (Who says it’s not a reliable source?): “Prominent testicles are an integral part of Tanuki folklore, and they are shown and referred to throughout the movie, and also used frequently in their shapeshifting.” There you have it. They’re. Freaking. MAGICAL.

I suppose that’s all I have to rave about. I do intend on watching this anime. After researching and seeing these screen shots, how could I not? Again, that’s Pom Poko. If you watch it before me or have already seen it, comment. Please. I simply have to know if the anime is as ridiculous as it sounds. Did I say ridiculous? I meant… yeah, ridiculous.
