Obari as Fuck

Obari as Fuck refers to a visual effect shift where a mech, more often a stunning giant robot, suddenly makes a rather major entrance into a very awesome battle with a lot of fanservice. Popularised by Shin Matsuo and Masami Obari in their Transformers works.

At first Thunderking from Transformers was like a busy big bad, then he was Obari as Fuck!

Himbo Menace

A Himbo Menace is a brilliantly bashful yet lazy, sometimes super powered Common Beauty with otherwise slightly more realistic goals than a Menace Stu.

Goku and the Mazinkaiser version of Koji Kabuto are great examples of a Himbo Menace done mostly right.

Toonamemeist

A Toonamemeist is usually an American or Australian anime fan who likes to funnily meme upon works that aired on Toonami, usually during the block’s own chaotic early years.

Shotaro Ishinomori would’ve been awestruck by the fact that Kikaider has inspired even a well meaning Toonamemeist this time around. Same for Outlaw Star!

Schmuck Them Up

A Schmuck Them Up is what happens when a usually resourceful Big Bad becomes too tired to ever win. Popularised by Dragon Ball Z and Gundam elsewhere, outside Japan.

To precede the Obari Workout, Gigantor and Mazinger Z have even done their own very successful Schmuck Them Up towards a robot bad guy!

Pose Heavy Menace

A Pose Heavy Menace is a charismatic animator or manga artist who, even in spite of mixed critical reception, still brings in the big buck out of video game sales and the like. Often loosely inspired by Yoshinori Kanada or Hirotoshi Sano.

Masami Obari, being a Pose Heavy Menace, has otherwise brought up three generations of anime and manga fans into the world of video games. He’s such a good boy for that.
