Fah, not mentioning the time when Gatchaman battled a giant molten-rock Jesus monster? I thought surely that would be on here.

Though I am surprised by the other mentions of OTHER Jesus monsters... damn you, Japan...

honestly... i still need to know, did he not just try to foul the ball on the moon?
Also yeah, Captain EO great clip xD

I never knew tenniswas such an extreme sport...

Hmm... maybe I should have gone with the scene from s-CRY-ed, where the watermelon guy covers the entire main frame of the 'final dungeon', so to speak, with his altered watermelons. And then everything blows up. I was gonna use that before I remembered about Dokuro. EO still would have won, but maybe that's more in line with the way this contest was judged.

Yikes....just yikes.

The ball was out...

I'm feeling really honoured for the mention and the winners totally deserved it, that was the most over the top completly ludicrous scene I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of ludicrous shit over the years (Cyborg 009 from the 70s; Hitlers corpse is kept inside a glass coffin beneath a castle so a crazy old man in a wheel-chair can turn him into a super-cyborg). Well played.

Game - Set - Match

I'm sorry, but you are totally right. That WINS.

My third Honorable Mention! WOOHOO!

Yes, Rob, you just go right on giving them to me... eventually I shall wear you down through sheer attrition, and your T-shirt shall be mine!

MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Mine is an evil laugh!

Operations for "In Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack they have Inflatable Battleships to confuse radar and act as decoys, in fucking space. I'll take my prize now."

No, you won't, and really, you shouldn't even have gotten the Honorable Mention. There IS NO RELIABLE RADAR in the Gundam Universal Century timeline. It's a central part of the technology - a byproduct of the fusion powerplants they use absorbs radar waves - all mobile suits and ships are "stealth" by today's standards. Therefore, ID is done visually. The computer takes a visual, and says "if it looks like an X it must be an x." THAT'S why you can use inflatable decoys.

There ARE ludicrous things in Gundam, but you shouldn't ignorantly take something out of context, and then expect a fucking prize for it.

[Nerd rant = OFF.]

I think what he was referring to was the inflation part. Probably thinking that inflation + space = instant pop. It's kinda crazy but it COULD work; they'd just need a much lower air pressure inside of said inflatabattleships than you'd use in a standard balloon, or a thicker skin, or both.

Hmmm, Talanic. You could be right. I'd locked onto the part where he says "to confuse radar." It's hard to imagine anyone whose watched more than a snippet of Gundam here and there being unaware of the central pseudoscience of the world.

Wow they have to rebuild the stadium after every match in Prince of Tennis, don't they? Why doesn't Obama invite them on an American tour then the numerous construction jobs that result could help stimulate the American economy.

Hahahaha, I always wondered what Prince of Tennis was like and thought it was a regular sports anime. I see that I was completely wrong. This looks totally worth watching just for laughs. I'm dying in my cubicle.

Not even a mention for the random barbarian with flowers in his hair that eats people and for the fuck of it turns his entire body to steel when nobody else has demonstrated this ability up til then?

Then it popping from the inside out?

S'ok, I got a shirt.

Gotta admit that PoT scene was insane... but the tennis "powers" in that anime are all pretty over the top. I find it amusing that Utena was mentioned by a few people and it didn't hit the list. That series is extra ridiculous in that it's ridiculously deep and yet the visuals and some situations come out of nowhere with much WTF-ity.

For the heck of it, the episode where Nanami "lays an egg." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cwc7-nr7N8

Man, I fucking love those crazy Japs.
If Wimbledon was anything like that, I'd watch it so hard I'd spontaneously combust.

Yeah that was fucking stupid.

I can"t believe I actually forgot about Prince of Tennis, this is why anime is so awesome

And I thought the first half of the first episode of Elfen Lied was gratuitous with the special effects (exploding heads+nudity=fun?). That tennis show/movie looked insane.

Prince of Tennis is hilarious, so congratulations to the winner.

And, wait, did all of us forget to mention the filler episode of Dragonball Z when Goku and Piccolo get driver's licenses? That was pretty insane (and awesome) considering that they can both fly while Goku can freaking instantly teleport.

Wait, the first Prince of Tennis clip doesn't makes sense (... well, you know what I mean). The tennis ball lands outside of the court, which isn't a legal return.

@Seven:

The ludicrous part of CCA, which I debated posting, was Amuro leaping from a jeep he was driving to tackle Char, galloping by on horseback, to the ground, and leaving a confused Hathaway to regain control of the jeep.

Also, there's the last conversation they ever had, which goes something to the effect of:

Char: "I wanted [15-year-old-former-prostitute/slain-mobile-armor-pilot/newtype-soulmate-of-Amuro-Ray Lalah Sune] to be my mother!"

Amuro: "What?!"

The winners definitely have some awesome animation in their clips. But for me it still only works as novelty youTube clips. There's no way I'd submit my self to however many hours of that kind of nonsense, well-animated or otherwise. Sci-Fi channel movies are also quickly produced, poorly written, totally absurd and aimed at nerds, but that's still not incentive enough for me to spend hours of my life watching bad television.

Then again...I have watched all three seasons of Heroes.

Make it stop, I can't breath :P

lmfao, wow.

The best part in the winning clip is where the video poster asked, "Where's the ball in all of this?"

If you want something ridiculous from Char's Counterattack, look no further than the Magic Newtype Rainbow at the end of the movie...

Wow. I'm honored. Those were all pretty messed up scenes you folks picked. I was forced to think about the logistics of Naruto's abilities more than I ever really wanted to. Japan is a very strange country, indeed. I guess this means I'm going to have to remember which name I use around here from now on.

I feel kinda ripped due to the fact that my entry never posted and said that the blog owner had to apporve it.

Any way congrats to the winners.

Adam E.> That wasn't ludicrous.

What WAS ludicrous is that Chichi didn't give a damn, and somehow forced them both into it.

Tsk... My post fell under anime trying to give you a psycho cancer overload. Dokoro-chan.... I guess I'll try again next time.

Yay, I got honorable mentions! Thanks. Also holy shit at the winner.

I didn't enter because I don't watch enough anime, but a thought hit me as I was reading the honorable mentions. For those who have seen it, it's the "vomit scene" from Doomed Megalopolis. If you haven't seen it, well, it's definitely NSFW and I dare say not safe for squeamish stomachs, either. Of course, if you can handle the weekly Fan Fiction Friday fare, you'll be fine.

So, is it merely ludicrous, or a prime example of everything wrong with Japan's collective subconscious post-Hiroshima?

WTF? I am so glad I quit watching Prince of Tennis.

what? no mention of Neon Genesis Evangelion!?

SO cool . Anyways, can you help me with this: http://kenji321.mybrute.com it's a game where you are allowed to play without controlling your characters.

Ahahaha, i remember taking the exact same screenshot from Utawarerumono (i think that's how it's spelled)

although the humour is mostly thanks to the timing on that fansub.
