The Cute Wall (Volume Thirteen)

Now, the moment of truth is time because it's now time to do...THE CUTE WALL!



Yes, it's back and...I smell trouble.

What trouble?

You know that last time, someone put the names of Resident Evil heroines in the SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE position in our Cute Wall. Now, there's something strange going on again and this time I got new names in the list. Care to read?

Let's see...hmmm...Maya Fey, Pearl Fey, Ema Skye, Trucy Wright, Kay Faraday, Athena Cykes...oh my!

What?

These are...the babes from the Ace Attorney franchise. Most of it were positioned at NOT CUTE.

Are there anyone other than those in the NOT CUTE spot?

I think that's it.

Maya...If she founds out that we called her not cute, her deceased sister Mia's going to hunt us down in the afterlife...

...still, could be worse. We could be facing...OBJECTION!...by the legendary Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright.

(audience laughing)

I don't know who put these on the lowest spot in the wall, but whoever that is, someone must have developed a deep-rooted hatred among CAPCOM babes.

(audience laughing)

OBJECTION! Oops, sorry, didn't meant to say that line. Sucks being a fan of the franchise. He he he...

Yeah right. Looks like you've been digging too much Ace Attorney stuff. So, what should we do know Mr. I-am-about-to-get-sued?

Laala Manaka

This idol girl. I don't know who that is. Do you know who's that idol girl?

Think so. It's...Laala Manaka? From Pripara?

Pripara?!

Looks like your love for idol anime has gone one step further and now thanks to your newly found obsession with Pripara, you found yourself hanging with the Pripara heroine herself.

Laala. She's just your average little girl but she's doing her best to become the best idol. Hmmm, kinda reminds me of Aikatsu but...these two idol anime shows are like the rivalry equivalent of Pokemon and Yokai Watch.

What do you mean?

Think about it, shows like Aikatsu and Pripara, they're made for the little girls, while shows like Pokemon and Yokai Watch, meanwhile, it's just for the little boys.

I see. They're all kids shows, I presume. So, thoughts on Laala?

Well, she's just like any other idol girls in anime, standing tall to reach the top of her stardom. For that, I know where to put here in the Cute Wall which is none other than...CUTE.

(audience laughing, then applause)

Cute, huh? Okay then. If Laala's deserved to be cute, be my guest.

So, who's next?

The Powerpuff Girls

Wait...I remember those three...it's the Powerpuff Girls!

(applause)

Yes. It's The Powerpuff Girls. We used to watch those when we are young and now, they recently returned with a brand new show.

It's a great thing this show is back in its classic looks with modern feel to the famed cartoon. I mean, it's fantastic to see Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup back on the telly again.

Indeed. Back and cuter than ever.

Cute it is. However...only one of the PPG is considered SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE and I know who that is.

Who is it?

Of course. I know who's SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE. It's Buttercup!

(audience laughing)

Buttercup's a toughie and all tough girls are not cute, you know.

Some fans think Buttercup's cute.

Not for me, it isn't. You know that Buttercup loves kicking butts because she's the toughest of the three and like I said. I should put Buttercup in SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE. Also, I don't find Blossom to be cute.

(audience laughing)

Eh?!

I always thought I respect Blossom because she's the smartest and the leader of the pack but...all that jibber-jabber really bores me so...NOT CUTE for Blossom.

(audience laughing)

Don't tell me, you're going to put Bubbles in...

CUTE.

CUTE?!

Yes. Cute. Because Bubbles is the cutest of the three and if you people are asking why the new PPG show is considered a cute show to watch, best to consider that Blossom's NOT CUTE, Buttercup's SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE, and Bubbles' CUTE. End of discussion.

(audience laughing)

You know, we haven't talk about the Million Live girls yet.

Million Live? Did you mean THE IDOLM@STER MILLION LIVE?

Yes. IM@S Million Live. Last year, we had the original 765 PRO girls as well as the Cinderella Girls back at the CUTE WALL, not to mention why putting both Haruka and Uzuki at the top of the Cute Wall that is NAKAKAGIGIL by the way.

I remember that but do me a favor, will ya? Because I am not heavily interested with the whole Million Live crud, care if you can put most of Million Live's best alongside with the Ace Attorney babes...wha?

Oh no! Someone put Mia's name on it...on the SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE!

(audience laughing)

It's a posthumus nightmare! And there's a new name I'm not familiar of...

Hmmm...Rayfa Padma Khura'in. Who's Rayfa?

(audience murmuring)

Rayfa? She's the new Ace Attorney babe? 

Indeed, she is. She's Rayfa, in the upcoming Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice game. She is the priestess who uses Divination Seance to witness the slain victims' final moments before their death, which makes her somewhat one of the key characters in Phoenix Wright's new chapter. Anyway, who would rather put her in the SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE spot right next to...IDOLM@STER's Takane Shijou?

Perhaps she reminded me of my...princess.

(audience laughing)

Reminded you of Takane, I suppose. Anyway...(struggling) I can't take her off from the SERIOUSLY NOT CUTE spot. Someone must have put Mighty Bond on her.

(audience laughing)

Agh. Let's forget about it because someone who has hatred among CAPCOM babes really want a piece of us. Anyway, where was I, oh yeah! About those Million Live girls you were talking about.

Like I said. Million Live's finest; Mirai Kasuga, Shizuka Mogami, Tsubasa Ibuki, Shiho Kitazawa, Umi Kousaka, Julia, Megumi Tokoro, Yuriko Nanao, Serika Hakozaki, Anna Mochizuki, Kana Yabuki, and Nao Yokoyama.

So...uh...what would want me to do with those?

Put them to...NOT CUTE.

Just like that.

THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: Russia pressures N. Korea

THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: South Korea rejects Kim Jong-un's calls for military talks

Seoul's Unification Ministry's spokesman said Wednesday South Korea does not consider North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's recent calls for military talks as being a formal offer to engage in cross-border dialogue.

Following the N. Korean leader raised the prospects for a resumption of long-dormant inter-Korean talks at North Korea's high-profile Workers' Party of Korea congress that ended Monday, the official said that Kim Jong-un’s remarks are only an expression of North Korea's perception of the current reality and its position on it, again ruling out the possibility of bilateral talks.

Clarkson, Hammond, and May's Amazon Original titled The Grand Tour!

The Grand Tour

It's been a year since the former Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May announced that they are working for a new show via Amazon Prime this 2016 but the trio are having difficulties finding a new name for their new show.

But now, a miracle just happened because after several bad puns later, Clarkson, Hammond, and May finally announced the name for their new Amazon original series. It's titled "The Grand Tour".

Slated to hit Amazon Prime subscribers this autumn, The Grand Tour is an automotive show where Clarkson, Hammond, and May will venture through different corners of the world just for their love affair with motoring. There will be fast cars, dangerous stunts, and brash talking occurred but hey, their legendary antics will kind of remind them of their TG years.

The Grand Tour is coming to Amazon Prime subscribers on Fall 2016.
