Catgirls make everything better.

Everything.

So yeah, I've been having some trouble getting to sleep lately. Tonight, I was extremely hungry and it's kept me up until 6 AM. I'm not too proud of that, really, but that's just how it works.

I ended up spending time watching TV, and for some reason a 2 hour episode of Teen Titans was on. Teen Titans is, of course, the North American cartoon that uses a comic book team in a heavily anime influenced style of animation. The title of the extra-long episode was 'Trouble In Tokyo' and for the life of me I can't figure out why YTV would air a 'movie' episode of a fairly population cartoon series at 4AM.

The story was about how the team goes to Japan to stop the evil 'Brushogun', which I mishead about 30 times before they just spelled the damned thing out. He sends a single ninja to their tower and kicks their asses, so they decide to counterattack by heading to Tokyo to stop his creator. Ends up the Brushogun creates things from ink, yet the extreme weakness to water - explored when the first offensive villain 'disappears' - is never again explored. They fight in Tokyo, I'm pretty sure there are fire hydrants.

While Cyborg pisses off Japanese Chefs and Beastboy's karaoke attracts all the Japanese girls, the show is pretty much what was expected. The only minor shock was the use of actual Japanese, though it seemed to be basic language - I was able to understand parts, but it was also at talking-speed (After doing the whole 'fish out of water' bit at arrival, almost everyone speaks English). They get ready to start the next stage of the story, even though heavy-handed overshadowing has explained most of the plot, and start introducing a small team of evil ink opponents to fight the divided heroes. A yellow chef-bot, a small blue astroboy-thing, a 'scary' black cloak monster and...

...A magenta catgirl.

"Catgirl? Catgirl."

So yeah, maybe the show had my attention for the remainder, even if the catgirl, Nya-nya, was underused. Hell, when they were blowing up guys and beating the crap out of people, the copy-catgirls were mostly dodged rather than blasted. No one can resist catgirl charm.

There was also a good point as she was introduced. While fighting with Beastboy, she continues to talk in simple Japanese. He complained that he can't make snappy comebacks if he didn't know what she was saying. I kind of liked that line. From what I could get from it, she kept calling him cute, saying she liked him and I think called him tasty... One of her final lines, from my vague understand of Japanese, seemed to say 'This is going to hurt' before her big slash attack.

Yes, I was pleased by the stereotypical catgirl with designs drawn from what animators thing catgirls much look like. Catgirls will get me to watch almost anything. Hell, I watched the end of a Chaotic episode because they had a catgirl in it.

Anyway, that's about that. It's past 6 AM now so my brain can only recall the last couple of hours. Hopefully I'll be able to either get some sleep or eat a big sandwich today, I can live with either possibility.

Goodnight, everyone.
