How to ‘Dissect’ 101, feat. Guinea Pig Code Name: 03G
The verdict is in: Scrumptious is eliminated from the Otaku Elimination Game, like Oh Em Gee. Was hoping they’ll check out our blog after I’m done with the site renovation, new theme, plugins and all that, but what do you know, they’re more excited than I thought! :3
(awesome fail badge c/o otou-san)
We Proudly Failed the Otaku Elimination Game, JUST AS PLANNED.
One thing though, OEG said they dissected our blog. Really now. Allow me to do my own dissection of their evaluation, if you will:
What can we say about this place, well. When we first saw it we liked it a lot. The continual food-related themes running throughout were a nice touch, especially when it came to the rating system. We’ve seen so many idiotic fangirls now we were really glad to see some that actually had some common sense and could construct a decent blog about anime.
:3
But who exactly are these idiotic fangirls you speak of, OEG? Are they really idiotic, or just idiotic in your own standards? I don’t really like how we’re used to trample on them fangirls like that.
Unfortunately it seems that whoever is running the place has a real problem with PR.
PR, like Page Rank, Pattern Recognition, Performance Review, Progress Report, Personal Reflections, Prayer Request, Power Rangers? Given the context (or the lack thereof) of what’s being said here, I can’t really tell if we have the same PR in mind.
But go on…
The blog is a pisspan of childish, immature name-calling and pathetic arguments.
It was a place with potentially a lot of class and a friendliness, but instead it’s a mess.
You mean the opposite of having class and friendliness is being a mess? 
Even messy dishes can be served with much class and friendliness, you’re talking about two different things here. Or let me put it this way: even the classiest and fanciest of restaurants can serve messy dishes, messy yet delectable dishes.
Some dishes/desserts/whatever can be a mess but still be scrumptious — think rocky road, omelette, okonomiyaki, halo-halo, bibimbap. We’re not claiming to be messy AND scrumptious, but we might just be! Or at least, getting there! Who knows, perhaps we can be classy, friendly, and messy all at the same time! :3
And whatever OEG says, if not backed by clear evidence and proof, is all just a miss, just saying.
We’d love to go on but what can we say, the framework is good but the authors are terrible, it’s as simple as that. Throw them out and replace them with people who can actually write.
How can you judge how people write when you obviously fail at reading? I’d love to go on, but what can I say, the framework of OEG is good but their critiquing skills are terrible, simple as that. Why don’t we replace OEG with people who can actually read, write, and critique well? :3
Then again you don’t even have to replace authors of a blog to see changes in it, because people are dynamic beings and their potential is limitless.
They did a peice on how they wanted the OEG to end, we think it was supposed to generate humour but we really didn’t understand it at all.
Ohoho-humour~ trying to be British? Oh wait Singapore was under Britain’s rule for quite some time, my bad. As much as I’m tempted to laugh at one little typo they made, I won’t, because they didn’t really nitpick on our grammar and typos either. But that could also be because they didn’t really read our posts wwwwwwww
EDIT: the typo is NOT humour, dear sirs. Pardon me for not being clear enough, but I just wanted to be discrete about your peice of typo, but I’m afraid you left me no choice. There, now that excerpt is back to its original uncorrected / incorrect form.
Then it went on to to talk about sperm. What?
BWAHAHAHA. Nice one OEG, by not getting the humour in our post (and failing to understand Onani Master Kurosawa in general), you have managed to humour me instead. Boy did you make me laugh my arse off. GOOD JOB! d(≧▽≦)b
We rate the Scrumptious Anime Blog a 1.5: Nothing short of fodder. We also saw some misuse of the word otaku too, which we almost overlooked the first few times around.
They overlooked our misuse of ‘otaku’? or did they almost forget they’re checking out our site for the Otaku Elimination Game teehee :3 OH SNAP!
What have you got to say about this, Chu-Chu?
OMNOMNOM~ Should I even care about this sh*t?
* gets back to OMNOMNOM bsns *
Here, treat yourself to some more Chu-Chu goodness~
P.S. Chu-Chu is like the perfect mascot for our blog!

I haven’t been paying attention to the Otaku Elimination Game, but I just hope they don’t troll me with “ASSBURGERS LOLZ” comments. Which I bet will happen.
Also, FIRST! Just wanted to do that for the first time ever. Anyway, I don’t think you deserved to be eliminated on the basis of actually thinking a lot about what is generally considered to be a mindless consumerism hobby.
You totally didn’t deserve the flak you got from the OEG. Zenzen.
I was expecting a “post-JLPT post” and this is what I get?? I think OEG, scrumptious and the entire community can agree on one thing: Chu-chu needs to wear some pants!!
I have to admit, sometimes I have problems with Power Rangers myself…
Oh snap!
@Jacob Martin: thanks, their arguments are pretty weak I can’t really take them seriously. Still needs MOAR BAKA-RAPTOR.
@animekritik: lol sorry kritik, my urge to write about JLPT got overridden by this
JLPT aftermath post coming, 少々お待ち下さいませ
LOL Chu-Chu pants. But he won’t be able to show off his beautiful butt that way! …and that’s a good thing I guess.
@Kabitzin: OH SNAP!
I support Chu-Chu as a mascot, as he is truly a connoisseur of food and drink.
As for the OEG, who’d believe they’d be more squeamish than you girls!
Bah. I really don’t get how they can talk about “people who can actually write”, when their grammar is atrocious.
For what it’s worth, I love this blog and think it is fantastically written… and I’m not even a fangirl. ^^
HAHHAHA MEGA LOL… If you replace the blog author… doesnt that defeat the f&*(king point? OBV these guys aren’t into upholding any constitutional amendments that I can’t spell anytime soon.
Personally as I only JUST returned to blogging (my veteran status at that stage was like a good solid drunken four years) I find their opinions juvenile at best. What we care about what seems to be teenagers think about our ideas/blogs/personal opinions?
Personally I love your blog, since I started reading it. Hope your JLPT results are awesome. and just ignore me if I annoy you… LOL.
Still baffles me why anyone would want to pass this ‘otaku test’. I knew you’d fail magnificently usagijen, proud of ya =D
Oh no you di’int
Also, don’t feed the troll.
I love your ‘proudly failed’ logo, very adorable! Well, I’m following OEG solely for the sake of entertainment. My feeling towards Scrumptious anime blog remains intact
You’re the best pisspan on the internets!
Awesome reply to the elimination. This should give justification to their half-assed “dissection” somehow. Just… y’know… posts like these tend to add more fuel to the fire. But hey, you’re down and out of their little round of Russian Roulette. They probably won’t care anyway.
Don’t worry, Jen! We still love you. I can’t wait to get eliminated myself, so I’ll save the OEG Failbadge to wear proudly on my chest, just in case.
Will the new theme involve Chuu-chuu? Cos that’ll be so awesome
Proudly failed logo -> best thing in this post.
TBH I think you’re feeding them a little too much. They obviously didn’t read your blog, why bother acknowledging theirs. We love Scrumptious precisely because it’s the opposite of a pisspan, so don’t stoop to their level! I also love that you used the failbadge :3
More Chu-chu ftw!
The whole concept of the OEG kind of disgusts me as it is, a bunch of divisive, self-important morons with questionable credentials (yeah, I’m sure you guys all work in Akiba and go to every Comiket) who think that they can speak with authority and trash other fans. And their review of your site just confirms that and what’s more, illustrates their laziness and lack of analysis.
Fail with pride, for they have no taste, no legitimacy, and no concept of the camaraderie that is the true heart of the community!
You should start a Dissection Elimination Game to weed out all the blogs misusing the word dissection. They gave you approximately the same word count and 3 fewer pictures than Meidocafe.jp, a site that no longer exists. That is not a dissection.
I didn’t even bother commenting to my elimination. Their reasons and criteria are so overwhelming. Words, so many words.
But damn it, instead of pulling the dftt card, I should have done a PROUDLY FAILED badge too.
Anyway, welcome to the club, Jen.
Their review of your blog really felt like they were phoning it in. Can we eliminate the OEG for not being aware of OMK?
Also, I applaud your strategic use of the Gendo pose.
I have to admit, there were some rather pathetic arguments in this post. It is not a proof of intellect to use semantics as the sole method of providing counterarguments. Truth be told, the English language, as it is usually used, is pretty ambiguous as to the exact meaning conveyed, so one can usually come up with an interpretation of a statement that is completely different from the meaning that was meant to be conveyed.
I think whoever is running the OEG is just a big troll.
Reading this is even more amusing after reading OEG’s reply to it. Linking to how “humour” is proper spelling when it says right on the page they link “Chiefly British” which…you know, you said. Then the “hotlinking” comment where they don’t even realize that AnimeBlogger.net in the hotlinked image could somehow refer to…part of your url. lolfail on both counts of their “fail award”
I also constantly lol at them talking about fangirls. I don’t think they know what to make of “fangirls” since it’s a title used that is not “otaku”. Thus I enjoy watching them stumble through the female portion of the blogosphere while they have no idea a lot of girls purposely play up the fangirling in their posts for giggles and fun.
FuyuMaiden: If you read the OEG Q&A post, you would realise that apparently, the criticisms are made by Japanese, and then edited by two people which includes a Singaporean. Considering that Singapore was a British colony in the past, and that British English spelling is what is usually taught to children there, the post using British English is not surprising. In any case, both British English and American English are still English; rather than nitpick on which spelling is used, it is more important to have consistency: use either British or American English spelling within the post, not both.
Also, maybe it is because the main points of the criticisms are written by Japanese, that our concepts of certain ideas (with us not being from Japan) are different from theirs. It seems that they are taking the stereotype as a base though, which makes sense to use as a base for comparison.
English Nazi: I already read that before I posted anyway and it has nothing to do with what I said. All I said was that the page they linked to said it was a chiefly British word and it was said “Oh trying to be British” so it was even acknowledged as a British word (Not what I said, but I’m just using more words for clarification). So…it was just something someone who doesn’t know everything about the OEG said something and it turned out to have different circumstances. Turns out that’s not even that typo that was being referred to anyway. <_<
So…Clarified. Tada~
@schneider: well what if they are actually… *gasp* girls?! either way, Chu-Chu FTW!
@261: their grammar isn’t really atrocious, just that their writing isn’t exactly glorious.
@Newt: was there even a point to begin with?
And I’ve heard about you, Newt-sempai! Always glad to see older bloggers make a comeback, just don’t disappear like Os, etc.! Thank you for the kind words! I am hoping, at the very least, that I pass JLPT1! If I kick-assed, that’d be quite a bonus 
@gaguri: *BROFIST*
@Kairu: feeding the troll with trolling? :3
@Canne: I have otou-san to thank for that awesome logo! And thank you for your patronage!
@moritheil: BANZAI! >:]
@Shance: apparently, they ‘cared’. bwahahaha. they took the bait >:]
@issa-sa: as of the moment, not yet…! But I MUST find a way to get incorporate Chu-Chu in our upcoming theme!
@otou-san: apparently I didn’t read the Q&A ufufu. But they still fail harder at reading, ohoho.
@ExecutiveOtaku: AMEN!
@Baka-Raptor: uh yeah, how much more unfair could that be?! Please don’t say lazy, datte hontou wa crazy?
@nekosasu: Failing the OEG is the way to WIN. *high five*
@Shiro, Long Tail’s: Not only were they not aware of OMK, but they also didn’t get the positive message behind my post then. Way to fail.
@English Nazi: why so serious?
@Misu: Sadly, they aren’t.
@FuyuMaiden: the real fail there is that I wasn’t even referring to humour in the typo comment I made.
“i-i-it’s not like I don’t know how to deal with them f-f-fangirls or a-a-anything!”
Mmmh, English Nazis tend to annoy me. But…
WELL DONE! Especially since you provoked unintelligent responses back from OEG and proves that they’re simply flamers trying to disguise themselves as critics.
@”The framework of OEG is good but their critiquing skills are terrible, simple as that. Why don’t we replace OEG with people who can actually read, write, and critique well?”
*THUMBS UP*
@English Nazi: “he criticisms are made by Japanese, and then edited by two people which includes a Singaporean”
I’m having trouble believing this. Japanese and Singaporeans are suppose to know their geography. OEG people… apparently not if the Swiss are from Scandanavia. I’m thinking they’re Am…
Thing is: I don’t care about OEG anymore. Good start but ain’t it just plain trolling? Meh
Good work. Socking it to trolls is always a good thing. This is what I call ‘Troll-Hunting Trolling’. Nicee
1. Real trolls feed on other trolls. They thrive on it. Malice begets malice, so to speak.
2. This blog is good because the writer uses proper grammar (most of the time) and has an unique style. The biggest flaw is the comments section, which is always a giant vomit-fest of feel-goodiness.
3. Why is “troll” an insult? Have you thought about that? Do you write because you have good ideas or do you write for attention? The correct answer is “yes” to both questions, but any blogger that writes for attention without good ideas is a prime target for trolls.
4. What blogging community? What camaraderie? How many of you have met each other in person? Is Usagijen even a woman? Have you thought about that?
“But she sounds like a woman. She talks about her boyfriends!” You protest.
Oh, ok. Have you actually met usagijen in person? Of the set of people who write about their boyfriends, not all of them are women! Half of creativity is lying, and with effort I can sound like a man, too.
@Marigold Ran: and you are my devil’s advocate, as usual (and I do mean that in a good way!)
