How Does Ponyo Roll?
This is how Ponyo rolls, motherfucker — on a motherfucking boat. I tell you, I’m always in the mood for a mix of beloved anime filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s works crossed with profanity-laden rap, but given the insanity of the morning so far, this video is especially welcome. I’m pretty firmly in the Miyazaki is a genius camp, but if Ponyo had actually used this song, it would have been an improvement. And it wouldn’t have made Ponyo any more weird. Actually, it probably would have lessened the weirdness significantly, somehow. (Via Japanator)

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
