Wanchu = Want You
The rest...I dunno. A lot of the jokes in Sexy Commando depend on a familiarity with japanese humour, and sometimes they'll also just say weird things for the sake of it. Just chalk up the bits you don't get to oddness compounding the mindfuck. |

"Wanchu!!! Princess Attack!!! Moe moe..." When I was actually watching this nutball of a series, it was pretty funny. You have to watch it in a situational ironic screwball sense (Of course some things will still fly over your head, usually those based on Japanese cultures). Stopped watching around episode 25 then... What episode is it up to now? If I'm not wrong, this is how you play paper sumo...

I don't really expect the show to make sense. Half the fun is listening to the random stuff Masaru says.
And yeah, Wanchu is Engrish for want you. It's one of their "let's go!" or "go get 'em" type phrases for their Sexy Commando club. They also say "Cleanup Princess." Don, you should probably go back and begin with episode 1. Go to the sub-groups IRC channel. More often than not, all the fservs and xdcc bots have all their slots free, so it's very easy to quickly pick up a bunch of episodes of Sexy Commando. |

B. "Wanchu" is a shorted sound expression for the term "I want you." When Japanese hear the actual English pronounciation for "I want you," they here it as "wanchu." C. http://www.paperokamoto.co.jp/craft/craft/craft_02.html Basically, get a piece of paper, fold it in half, and cut it to make a figure. Put in on top of a plastic bowl (or wood), and try to topple the opponent by tapping lightly on the arena. Kami-zumou is a typical Japanese game that we used to play as kids (we did not play Famicom all day, you know). D. Some gags in "Sexy Commando Sugoi-yo Masarusan" have no meaning to us as well - which makes it more weird and funny at the same time. That's why you get the tsukkomi (counter-gag) - "Toshiko tte dareda~!!!" (Who or what is Toshiko~!!!) |

Sexy Commando episode 29 discussion
Geez what a funny episode. It's odd that I didn't think the previous ep was all that good but this one is back to the psycho humor that keeps you off balance.
Spoiler:
What about that opening? Was that a pun about the 2 monks or just some oddness that didn't work well? -k curious |

The Japanese have a peculiar style of baseball (tie games are allowed among other things). I like seeing Japanese baseball parodied because "normal" Japanese baseball seems weird to me. |
