Make money at home making fun of anime!!!

[Invid Fan]

Branching out where Apple and its Apps store has gone before,
Rifftrax.com is expanding. For those out of the loop, Rifftrax is a
continuation of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 concept with the
second gen cast (Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett) plus
occasional guests. For $4 or less you buy the mp3 for a film, sync it
with the dvd, and away you go. Lord of the Rings, Top Gun, 300... loads
of fun :)

Already having expanded the concept a bit with 'Rifftrax Presents'
riffs not involving Nelson, they're now creating 'iRiffs': anyone can
create a mp3 track for a movie, upload it, name their price, and
Rifftrax will sell it for a cut of the action. There's been a lack of
animation done as of yet, so this is a chance for some of you talented
wisecrackers to change that. Dare someone tackle Odin or Grave of the
Fireflies?

My first candidate would be Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. ( I liked
some of it, but most of it was pretty overblown. )

Hmmmm. Maybe we need to start a list, or borrow from one. We must have
done a list of shows that could stand to be lampooned, sometime. >:

And then there's some of the H-shows. After all, the spoofers aren't
actually selling the DVD, just an, um, "enhancement". The mind reels.

From the web site, I take it that sync'ing the mp3 with the DVD can be
done either using just an mp3 player, or with a Windows computer? Just
trying to be sure. The user can start the DVD, and then manually start
the mp3 player, and the synchronization will be reasonably close?
Because the web site says the Windows players has menu advertisements-
_not_ on screen ads, just at the program's main manu, but still
something I don't care for. I think I'll stick to just running the
audio on an mp3 player if I try this.

They usually provide a starting point - like a specific credit,
part of the OP, or even the FBI Warning - to allow for easier
synchronization.

Anime Pulse recently started Aggro Pulse, where they basically do
(or at least plan to) a MISTing of a specific episode from a show.
IIRC, they even use the mid-show eyecatch as another sync-point for
insurance . . .

(And other great cheap symbols of the great high-school "Fans of
anything are, like, geeks who go to comic cons and wear funny ears" mythos.)

Well, glad they letting other volunteers riff it, since Mike Nelson's
anime acumen has so far been limited to make-geeks-cry jokes about
tentacles and Sailor Moon...
And Kevin Murphy would be trying to find some way to tie it back into
LOTR and Rennaisance festivals, and then piling on the Japan-scandal
jokes. (And then *maybe*, if he made the effort for research, a DBZ joke.)

But yes, if there was one anime that deserved public ridicule in
hindsight, it was the *other* great "What was Oshii THINKING?? 0_0'' "
catastrophe--
Angel's Egg would be too punishing.

Even though I liked it, I could very easily see myself doing a
MSTing of Angel's Egg...or the dub of Silent Service (heh).
