Sayonara, Pimp-chan

Initially, I had planned to do my first in a series of post about Fruits Basket. Sadly however, a great tragedy has recently befallen us, and I believe that it is only right that we take this moment to honour the memory of the Evil Pimp in a White Suit from Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou.

On 11th of July, the first episode of Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou aired, and by all measures, it was a train wreck. It was a horrifying pastiche of poor storytelling, haphazard directing, boring characters and mediocre animation. However, there was hope, a shining diamond in the rough. There was the Pimp in a White Suit.

The sparkling brilliance of his White Suit illuminated the darkness. Like a candle in the dark, it brought light where there was none. Like a lighthouse, it gave direction to the lost and weary.

And yet, hope and light are but fickle things, and on the 15th of August, the 6th episode of Yoku Wakaru Gendai Majou aired, and the light of the White Suit was snuffed out.

Pimp in a White Suit, your suit was shiny, manly, and in the words of Baka-Raptor, non-pedophilic.

And in your shininess, manliness and non-pedophilia, you gave us many gifts;

You opened our eyes to the brilliance of the setting sun;

You showed us the benefits of petty theft;

You thought us the ways of the Jedi;

You gave free child grabbing classes;

You banished the darkness;

You brought joy to little children;

You were loved by animals;

And thought us karate;

Dear Pimp in a White Suit, you gave us many great and wonderful gifts. But there was one gift you gave, that stood above all others. That can never be replaced.

You gave us a reason to watch Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou.

Thank you, my friend.

Though you are no longer with us, your White Suit shall shine eternally in our hearts.

Good night, sweet Pimp; and flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.
