I'll do some trimming, don't worry; I won't fuck up the pretty pictures or anything. --Jump 22:56, 1 May 2009 (CEST)
- If you're going to trim, please do so by eliminating redundancy and that sort of shit. To be honest, this is the best article on the wiki at the moment because it's so in depth, well written, and well researched. More articles should be like this. --Champthom 00:27, 2 May 2009 (CEST)
To do
OK, this article could be a potential nightmare here. My plan was just to watch the entire series all the way through and note anything that Chris stole or adapted into his own life. What I've wound up with is such a long list that I felt I had to organize it as an episode guide just to have it make sense.
I'm open to suggestions here, but I think the problem is that we all assumed this would simply be a list of characters "inspired" by Excel Saga (Bagget, Naitsirhc, Shinabe, etc.). In truth, it goes a lot deeper than that, since Chris would steal dialog as well, and throwaway references like the Red String of Fate or dating games would creep into his day-to-day routine.
And I'm not even finished yet. The section I want to include on this is something that points out Chris's unflattering resemblance to the male characters on the show. Sumiyoshi basically looks like a Japanese version of Chris. Iwata shares Chris's attitudes towards the opposite sex, and Watanabe is a sad sack who'd gladly shove anything up his butt to get into Hyatt's pants. For all of Chris's fascination with this show, and his insistence on being the "director" of Sonichu, he never notices how much more he should identify with the less glamorous characters.
Anyway, I plan on putting some screencaps up, with comparisons from Sonichu to show how blatant this stuff is. Once I've got all the material in, I'll try to trim this down to something manageable, but for now... damn, Chris is an unoriginal bastard. Dethchemist77 05:00, 7 March 2009 (CET)
This is beautiful stuff, and stuff I would have never known about. Good work. --Champthom 06:00, 8 March 2009 (CET)
Fucking awesome article
Seriously, I'd dare say that in my personal opinion, this is the wiki's best article. It is original, well researched, well cited, lots of photographs to illustrate, and is extremely useful for trolls. I need to make a template for Fucking Awesome articles like this. More articles need to be like this one. Keep it up. --Champthom 08:35, 10 April 2009 (CEST)
I knew Chris stole some things from this series, but man, this is insane. Props to you.
