			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">Sometimes when I watch an anime or read a manga, my chest swells up, my head goes light, and rain starts to fall down my cheeks.  In my heart, I can feel the sheer awesomeness, the sheer amazingness, the sheer <strong>epicness</strong> of that anime or manga resonating.  I want to shut the book, close the window, or alt-tab out of Media Player Classic because I just can&#8217;t take that much <strong>epic</strong> all at once.  You know what I&#8217;m talking about.  You&#8217;ve felt it before.  That thrill, that rush, that anime-induced high that determines the worth of a series.  It&#8217;s that <strong>epic</strong> feeling.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://mikoto.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/12817997124961.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4680" title="CLICK ON THIS PICTURE!!1  REALLY, CLICK ON IT!  It's such an awesome picture!" src="http://mikoto.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/12817997124961.png?w=460&#038;h=273" alt="" width="460" height="273" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Unfortunately, that&#8217;s all I wrote before I got bored and decided to go empty my bowels so I have no idea where I was going with such a cool (it is, right?  Tell me it&#8217;s super duper cool!) intro.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">But I <em>do</em> remember why I began writing this post.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">If you have Twitter (not likely), were online yesterday at 9:00 PM PST (even less likely), and follow <a href="http://twitter.com/y5wyghtjr7iu">me</a> (a snowball&#8217;s chance in hell), then you might&#8217;ve seen these tweets:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://mikoto.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/untitled.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4681" src="http://mikoto.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/untitled.png?w=460&#038;h=160" alt="" width="460" height="160" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">What I&#8217;m getting at here is that today, I got that <strong>epic</strong> feeling from episode 6 of Strike Witches 2.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This has never happened before.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">All my previous <strong>epic</strong> feeling moments came from mecha (the non-<a href="http://mikoto.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/mecha-macross-frontier-and-crappy-idiots/">Macross Frontier</a> kind), crazy romance/dramas (e.g. After Story), and last episodes of great comedies (<a href="http://mikoto.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/4602/">Gintama</a>, etc.)&#8230; and Mushishi.  Okay, okay, Mushishi is clearly an anomaly there.  Go to your nearest Borders, Barnes and Noble, whatever, pick up Mushishi 8/9/10, flip to the second-to-last story and read it.  I can&#8217;t explain the <strong>epicness</strong> of that one story and it&#8217;s not available online (But if you do find it online, comment and post the link.  Actually, comment whether or not you find it.  I like comments.  Comment please.), so just do it.  If it involves awesome time loops and a very hard-to-understand panel order, you&#8217;re on the right one.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Anyway, as I was saying, this has never happened before.  That Strike Witches scene was about two girls in the stratosphere killing a black tower alien with a great insert song playing.  It doesn&#8217;t sound impressive when I type it out like this, and in retrospect, it really wasn&#8217;t.  But w-what is this feeling in my chest every time I see that picture?  Huh?  This is weird, tears are c-coming out&#8230;</p>
