What is it with musical artists and anime?
Pharell has come up with some annoyingly catchy songs that get stuck in your head, the first one being his own hit Happy and of course Daft Punk's Get Lucky, but this time he's back again at it and released a music video featuring...ahem young anime girls, let me rephrase that. ONE anime girl that he is trying to impress, and in this case it has to be the youngest looking, but let's not get into that. Basically what it boils down to is a journey of some-sort where everyone is celebrating summer the first moment, then the next they are riding a dolphin spaceship (don't ask). Anyway the whole premise combines a whole bunch of elements from video games and (of course) anime.

It girl is less about the rhythm, and it's more about how hypnotic and nostalgic it feels, to the point where you could just fall asleep to it. Your gonna be caught in a trance watching the video similar to what you'll experience by watching Hypno toad. Now there are no characters other than a couple stereotypical/generic anime girls that are featured in let's say dating sims, or visual novels (or whatever) so they really have no personality other than to be more or less fanservice to the "Western Audience". All-in-all the video was enjoyable, but that's not where it gets good, the comment section is probably the best part of the whole video.

Alright so let me say that I've never ever seen so much frustration on a video before, the comment section of this video makes Console Wars and PC Master race remarks look like compliments in comparison to what I looked through. Let me give you a few classic examples of what's been said in the video, some of them will be funny, others might be seriously frustrating (or entertaining),brace yourself...

Guys! This is obviously a Chinese cartoon.

People who enjoy watching anime are pure scum and perverted.

Dude, you're ruining anime for people. STOP. IT. I ALREADY AM NOT WATCHING AS MUCH ANIME AND YOU ARE NOT HELPING ME.

This is actually disgusting. And please STOP with the "how do you know it's an underage girl!!" Well she's the only one that's flatchested with fucking pigtails and super short which are basically trademarks for preteens. This is gross and I don't see how anyone can support it. Ewww.

Blatant satanic symbolism and pedophilia promotion, and this shit got 34K likes. Those are obviously young girls in the video.

Anime sucks and all you weebs need to get life lol

I can't believe my favorite artist became a weapons shit. Why must weaboos ruin everything?

Why does it reminds me of boku no pico

I have to admit, most of my enjoyment came out of just scrolling through people's frustrations and getting a nice glass of cold pop watching them become so shaken up by this video, it was pretty funny, but unfortunately is a grave reminder that not all people are stable...especially weaboos (hell anyone can be unstable, but that's not the point)

P.S. If you intend to enjoy the video like I did, get yourself comfy in your chair...get a nice bag of your favourite chips and a glass of something. Just take the time to scroll through the comments, better yet play a drinking game every time you see someone freak out at the video!
