GreyAcumen Update: More Poetry Surfaces

by Bruce on January 21st, 2010 at 5:56 am, under Text

GreyAcumen, a noble swordsman and soon-to-be poet laureate, has accomplished much in life. From swinging a nodachi with the skill of a Japanese samurai to writing fiction that makes Tolstoy look like Stephanie Meyer, GreyAcumen has proven himself a master of just about every trade.

GreyAcumen began his venture into poetry with “Tired of This,” an angst-ridden piece that, while still a masterpiece by any other standard, was merely a starting point in his journey. In “I’m Missing You,” Grey revealed his soft side, adding an entirely new level of depth to his outwardly self-confident, machismo image. Months of work finally came to fruition when Grey penned his magnum opus, “I am the Sword.” In what many scholars believe to be the modern day equivalent of Beowulf, Grey conveyed a sense of glory, honor, and betrayal stronger than any historical epic poem in a mere 26 lines.

I am happy to say that these newly discovered poems contain that same GreyAcumen level of quality we have all come to expect. “Pen vs Sword,” “Gloating,” and “What it all comes down to” will forever be preserved here for future generations to study and draw inspiration from.

Graceful with both pen and sword.

Pen vs Sword

The pen is mightier than the sword

that one really has me floored

with just one swipe, one downward swing

the pen is not that strong a thing

it would break against a sword

the sword is action, the pen’s all word

A poison pen, now there’s a thought

but that reeks of a lowly plot

a sword or axe or punching dagger

when struck with these your foe will stagger

They deal with things face to face

put things blunty and in their place

So face your problems, don’t be suprised

when a sharp edge cuts it down to size

but if the problem still remains, then

maybe you should have instead used a pen?

Megapost: The Grays

by Bruce on January 17th, 2010 at 3:37 pm, under Image, Text, Video

I want to start off by saying that I have no fucking idea what this is. Really, this is one of the worst things we have found. Part cult, part internet-swordsmen circle jerk, the Grays is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever come across.

"In the end...Your greatest challange, and your greatest apponent is yourself. Self is the true GateKeeper, and it is the one you must face, if you are to ever truly become a Knight of Gray"

Join the Grays today and learn to pull off sweet jumps like this! Radical!

I see a child.

"Hmmmm, what to say about myself? I guess all I have to say is, I'm unique, that's all. I love anime, and martial arts, anything Japanese, and I love to cook and of course, make AMVs. Anyway, that's me in a nutshell, but....not really....."

This dude doesn’t really have any message board posts worth noting, but he just looks so damn awkward. I think his pictures alone deserve their own post. Dude is decked out in everything from fingerless gloves (Naruto branded, no less,) a Naruto headband, a fedora, a katana and various trench coats – sometimes all at once. By the way, this guy may look like an awkward, acne ridden teenager but he’s 29 years old.

Who Needs Real Fencing Lessons!?

by Glenn on October 3rd, 2009 at 8:51 pm, under Image, Text

If I’ve learned anything from reading through all these anime forums, it’s that anyone can become a modern day master swordsman with enough anime.

Be sure to grab the blade as firmly as possible with your own hand.

Be sure to grab the blade as firmly as possible with your own hand.

Canvas: 8.5 x 11 Printer paper
Tools: BIC Mechanical pencils, 5.0 leads, Staedtler eraser
Editing: Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Timespan: 2 days!! WOOT! ^_^

Heh… there’s meh character again – with improved hair! XD

This got done LIGHTNING FAST…. in my world, at least. Partly because there was no background to worry about. ^_^

The char is going through the routine – step 2 in my own sword technique. The stance, though simple, looks more as a defensive manuver rather than an attack strike. Either way, it still looks nice.

Stuff that was changed:

The hair – made it longer, especially in front. ^_^

Slacks – shaded them.

Shoes – Forgive the design… they look like cheap ones… I was out of creativity by then. T_T

While this isn’t Imminent Attack, it still is one of the best that I’ve produced!

Ryo-Misaki Megapost 2: The Revenge of Miracle Whip

by Glenn on September 26th, 2009 at 5:50 pm, under Image, Text, Video

If you’ve read our last article on Ryo-Misaki, you probably know that he is far too large to contain in just one megapost. Knowing this, we decided to take a look into Ryo-Misaki’s AnimeB wiki page that he personally wrote himself! For those of you that don’t have time to scroll through a wiki about a massive fat man’s forum and IRC habits, we have taken the courtesy to highlight all the important parts!

Ryo was always an “educated n00b”, preferring to search extensively on a subject (and forum archives) before creating a thread or asking a question.

Around 2004, the AnimeB Brigades were formed. Naturally, Ryo was one of the first to sign up in the Motoko Brigade. He also joined the Army of the Suu Republic (ASR) and Her Kawaiiness’ Secret Service (HKSS), but not with as much participation. Ryo helped lead the Motoko Brigade to victory against the Naru Brigade in the Great Brigade Wars.

Misaki is a very sociable person, and if on the forum, will be found in the shoutbox. (Lately, though, more often on IRC.) If you come on to the Box, you WILL be greeted by Ryo. Always. (Unless he’s idle or in a thread, in which a greet will come upon return.) Ryo likes to start conversation, talk about life/moods, and cheer people up. Ryo’s presence in the Box almost always beckons more activity.

Given’s love life is currently nonexistant.

Other details added are about his job history for working at Applebee’s and his love of music and rhythm games.
