Totally me, you guys. Minus the blue hair. Maybe.
Dear Fans,
Finals week is coming down the pipeline for some of us burdened college students, and all the combined forces of heaven and Earth cannot stop this onslaught of dreary-eyed, sleep-deprived horror. So instead, dear fan, I make a present of this, a fine, fine video, made by one on the Internet who has much too much time on their hands, much unlike myself. It has gone viral and spread like lice in a large middle school, infecting the headlines of the majority of the anime blogs in this series of tubes. Shockingly, the video is terrifyingly SPOT-ON when it comes to these openings, as I’ve bloody-well yet to see an anime that HASN’T used at least one of these tropes in their opening sequence, and believe me when I say I know my anime openings!
So, loving fan, I bid you “sayonara” as I turn my back to the waking world and face the near-Lovecraftian depths that is studying for finals! Tune in next week for more Happy Fun Thursdays! Wish me luck!
Yours in deep lamentation,
Paolo Jasa, Doomed College Student.
P.S.: For the curious and the obsessive compulsive, here is a list of the anime that have been used in the video.

About the Author
After finding out that the school's library was a welcome respite from the heat of the tropical island he inhabited, Paolo Jasa found out that books were a whole lot better than being a constant target during P.E. class; so much so that he developed a love for them that would last him a life time. His first forays in Science Fiction were in the novels of the esteemed I. Asimov, R. Bradbury, and D. Adams, while his adventures in Fantasy took him to the realms of Discworld, Hogwarts, and a Chicago that houses the only Wizard-For-Hire found in the local Yellow Pages, Harry Dresden.
Then he found out about Gaiman's Sandman comics, Miyazaki's animé, Pixar's movies, and (almost) every single web-comic on the Internet.
This changed things a little bit. A lot, in fact.
Regardless, Paolo's currently enrolled in the College of William and Mary to get a Bachelor's Degree in ... something. Hopefully in English or in Education in order to become a teacher, and to bend the minds of the next generation towards all things nerdy. While not studying or reading, he enjoys playing the alto saxophone and singing unabashedly around campus when no one’s looking.
