Transcript

STRONG SAD: {singing} I'm sitting here in the boring room...{brings up email}

Dear Strong Sad,
What would you look like as a Japenese Cartoon
and what would it be about?
Please answer this!
-Mitchell Smith, Australia

STRONG SAD: {reads it aloud} Japen? What is Japen? {picks up dictionary and looks through it} Do you mean a city in southern Spain north-northwest of Granada know for lead mining with a population of 104,892?

{A picture of a postcard from Jaen pops up. It has a donkey saying "Ask about our lead!" in Spanish.}

STRONG SAD: Or maybe a sleeveless jacket worn over the armor in the 14th century?

{Same picture, but now the donkey is wearing a japon}

STRONG SAD: No wait, you probably mean the archipelago between the Sea of China and the North Pacific Ocean, east of the Korean peninsula.

{Postcard of Japan, with the donkey from before dressed like a sumo wrestler}

STRONG SAD: {typing} I'm...familiar with Japanese animation. But I'm not an otaku like some fanfics portray me as, nor have I ever tried to kill everyone. Now, let me imagine...

{cut to a white screen with Strong Sad standing there. As he describes how he would look different, the changes are applied}

STRONG SAD: I would look more like a human, and less like an...elephant thing. {becomes more human, with a sakura branch over the naughty bits} I wear an outfit that looks all great on me but when you try wearing it at a convention you look terrible. {Nice crisp black and white outfit appears on him} I would have hair that always looks like it was just tossled. {Light blue hair appears} I would be pale {turns to pale-faced geek}, but a sexy pale of course {turns back to pretty boy}. My eyes would be bigger, but not too big because I'm a guy. I'd have a really deep voice, but they'll ruin that in the dubbing and I'll sound like Tim Curry. And then, put me in Tokyo...

{cut to anime Strong Sad (Sturongu Saduu) in futuristic Tokyo at night.}

STURONGU SADUU: I am so sad. {unnessasary close-up} So sad...

{A girl who looks a awful lot like 20X6 Marzipan shows up in a school girl outfit}

SADUU'S SISTER: You love...me. I love...you. But we are sister and brother! Technically. But we are family! Family since our parents had a marriage together!

STURONGU SADUU: Love. Sadness. {destroys city block}

{Cut to a picture of an angel}

STRONG SAD: And there would be angels...but they would be bad for some reason.

{Angel turns into something that looks a lot like Strong Bad}

SAINT BAD: God hates you! Satan loves you! Up is down, black is white! Yatta!

STURONGU SADUU: You killed my father! Who I hate because he ran away from me to build giant robots!

{Homsar (with big gravity defying hair and white robes) wobbles on}

STRONG SAD: And there would be one character who is supposed to be all wise but makes no sense.

ANIME HOMSAR: I am the me that live in you!

{Cut to Homestar and Pom-Pom in front of a television}

STRONG SAD: And if you missed one episode, you would have no idea what's going on.

HOMESTAR: What just happened?

POM-POM: {bubbles}

HOMESTAR: The universe did what?

{cut back to the computer}

STRONG SAD: {typing} Actually, you were probably not talking about anime and I just made a fool of myself. Again. {stops typing} Where did I leave my katana?

{The End}

Fun Facts

H*R References

  • A long time after this was written, the short TrogdorCon '97 reveiled that Strong Sad likes anime. So perhaps he is an otaku.

Real Life References

  • Strong Sad's first line is from the song "Lemon Tree" by Fool's Garden. I heard it in this huge anime music video complation and I don't know if it was ever in any anime. It does seem to be popular among otakus.
  • When Strong Sad says he isn't an otaku or a murderer, he's refering to my fanfiction. Yeah, I'm shameless.
  • The anime Strong Sad thinks of is mostly a parody of Angel Santurary, with some Neon Geneis Evangelion wrapped in.
  • The easter egg refers to the Communist trials of the 50s. Senator McCarthy of Wisconsin claimed that the State Department was overrunned with communists. People were asked if they were or had ever been a member of the Communist Party.
  • Teen Titans is an American cartoon with heavy Japanese influences/ripoffs.
