What kind of mascot should THAT have? We need your help!
Thanks to Mellow Bunny, THAT will soon have a new spanking professional blog design that will be hopefully completed by the end of the year (just in time for the winter season). This was the conversation that went on after he agreed to design the blog for us.
Bunny: that reminds me does that have an official logo?
Impz: no mascot
Impz: no logo
Impz: i want logo
Impz: green haired loli thanks
Bunny: lol
Seemingly reading my mind, Crusader messaged me the following on IM as well.
Impz: and THAT will have a logo/mascot soon
Impz: \o/ we are joining the hip boys like riuva, animesuki and DC.com!
Crusader: not Ranka
Crusader: no never sorry
Crusader: she failed me
Due to our stumped discussion, we need your creativity to describe the type of mascot THAT should have. If I have my way (according to Crusader), I will make it a green haired loli which makes it kind of ordinary and boring. Hence, I prefer to borrow your brains to decide. Thanks!
Office of Accountability (Crusader)
Impz is quoting out of context to be a drama queen again, so to set the record straight Ranka is Shin’s waifu former waifu who parted after a bitter divorce and as such it would not be in our best interests to go and try and accept Ranka. While I am sure the jealous Malaysian commando is no threat to me, Shin’s proximity to Impz coupled with Impz’s lackluster combat prowess well… In any case I motion for something unique and mecha.
Behold! Panzer-san (by Anonymous) ready to find the All Spark.
Imploration of “Please make it simple!” (Lupus)
I’m sure you would all love something MOE and AWESOME and EXCITING, and if Crusader is to have his way, MECHANICAL. But dear sirs and madams, I beg you to listen to my plea. Impz plans on making me draw this mascot. ME! I suck at drawing, I don’t know where Impz got the idea that I can draw anything you guys can come up with. I can’t. I can probably draw a quadrilateral. Or a circle, if you give me a compass.
So, I implore you, ladies and gentlemen, to choose this: O. That’s right. A circle. The mascot of T.H.A.T. is to be a simple, rounded circle.
Failing that, I could draw Mahou Shoujo Impz with his magical staff Raising Rake.

Okay how about a mecha musume?
@Crusader: Will it not be wearing any pants?
Sure it’s not like we are a hentai blog…and knowing Lupus he’ll make it a trap.
Something mechanical ? Sounds sweet.
Mecha Musume for each member (this way Ranka sneaks back in, Crusader gets Sheryl… or Alto whichever is really preferred, moe lolis for the rest if that’s how they like it), then they all GATTAI into KLAN MUSUME with BATTLE GALAXY as the frame.
SOLVED!
one more vote for: not Ranka -*- she failed me too.
ok, one wants a unique mascot and one demands what is simple. We have quite an agreement here, lol How about other bloggers? would be nice if I can read their opinion as well~
@Lupus: Why if it’s Impz, your drawing skill can be upgraded from circle to Mahou Shoujo? lol XD
@ghostlighting: right.. how can I forget Alto hime!? and he’s the fairest than any girls in the series!
“Mahou Shoujo Impz with his magical staff Raising Rake.”
I want that!! Add some armor for Crusader and we’re set.
First thing to spring to mind is “a trap” (of course) but I guess green-haired lolis have played a significant enough part in this blog’s existence to become an official mascot.
@Crusader: What was the manga Extrange mentioned in his introduction post? Battle Angel Alita? There’s a mecha musume for ya, now all you need is to dye her hair green.
Mecha musume is a great idea that easily segues between what Impz wants and what Crusader wants. The question is, will Lupus get it RIGHT?
I like the loli characters header. (the 1 which pointing 1 of them as Impz)
Make a set of cute characters each representing a blogger…
IDK, green haired trap loli seems unique, and it’s kind of already the mascot. Now it just needs a name – how about this: so that Lupus doesn’t have to draw anything, we just take a picture of Impz and photoshop his hair green? He can be the mascot! (I wonder if Impz’s hair is green in RL…)
how about a compromise? I propose a Green haired trap ,not loli, with a mechanical arm riding a motorcycle, or perhaps standing next to a military vehicle.
What about loli trap impz from the discontinued manga series that was on THAT? that will please most people i think.
Another vote for “not Ranka!”. She betrayed us all. ; ;
I propose a blue haired chibi Alto-hime!!!! or else a big breasted Alto hime.
lupus : go draw the mahou shoujo impz with the raising rake…. GO DO IT NAOOOOO
how about “Mahou Shoujo Mechamecha Impzie with his magical staff Raising Rake.”
(ok, I’ll post more serious answer after I used my head to think for a while.)
It should be Impzy from RenAi Blogger
Are you kidding me? I have always thought THAT’s mascot has always been no other than IMPZ yourself.
Why go with anything else when the icon of THAT already has such effect?
My brain? Are you sure? Oook… I think that must to be a……. green hair, Loli, nekomimi, secret militar robot with a multibarrel machinegun and a chainsaw katana. Also it must to wear a full combat-maid cosplay. Imagine Rompomatsu of Exel Saga or Koboshi of Let’s Meow Meow! but with cool guns. Cute and genocide like the Eupheminator. I think that a mix of cute and cool is the ultimate.
Lupus: Huge Mecha-Hello Kity with a stick is not acceptable.
Mecha green haired loli? Lupus, you are so poor thing.
A new theme? Hmmm….I hope it doesn’t get rid of the awesome right side bar widgets that I love here on this blog more so than any other…
Loli trap green haired Impz sounds good
Perhaps a green-haired loli (possibly trap) riding a mecha, that is possibly the form of an artillery piece that walks like a man. A “cannon” that is a “gun”, we could say.
It must be a green-haired lolitrap.
Also, Ranka has put a bounty on her ex’s head. The last time she got spurned… let’s say it started a war. >_>
No Ranka? Agreed! You can always have CC…in her moe form of R2!
Meh, I prefer Red Haired ones lol xD
But what happened with that mascot you already have? You know, that “Impz”
Now, green haired loli? I can only think of three, and you already decided no Ranka. And there’s no way that Nina gets to be THAT’s mascot, so Shion and Mion, I choose you!
http://www.imokie.net/pics/higurashi_3.jpg — I say you use this one!

Mahou shoujo Impz. How can you choose anything else?
[...] saw, listened, and read: Picture……..Taken from THAT Animeblogger Song………..Crescendolls by Daft Punk Lyric………..no lyric [...]
Loli + Moe + Greenhaired = win
I would say ‘anything that carries something resembling a GAU-8′, but unfortunately your commentary and selection here is somewhat softcore.
Anyway, +1 for the not-Ranka because she’s a dumb character.
I’m for a chibi green haired loli trap like WhyWai
If we have to go mecha, I’d say we combine the mecha with the green haired loli trap…hmm, this sounds like some familiar anime that flopped…
Dango! A Loli Mechanized Green Dango!! ^_^
Also, it should be easy to draw!
In my humble opinion, it should be at least a little cute with one or more mechanical weapons (read: weapons that grow and form themselves but are metal and explosive? or bladed.), obviously green hair and a uniform. Keep the mascot as simple as possible.. that allows you to dress her up for different occasions such as xmas, easter and mellow_bunny day (March 5th).
Something like the Dango might be a good idea (didn’t someone make a drawing of THAT as Dango’s before?) Going off of mellow’s idea of dressing it up, if it’s something as plain and anonymous as a Dango, we could also “personalize” the mascot for specific bloggers. For example, (let’s use the Dango as an example for simplicity) you can dress the Dango up for Xmas, Halloween, mellow_bunny day, etc with relative ease. You can also dress it up to a specific blogger’s taste such as Crusader’s would have gun or something like that. Anyways that’s just my opinion on that.
I guess most of you mother fuckers didn’t read or understand what I wrote.
I hate all of you so much.
(Having said that, I love DKellis’ idea. Maybe I’ll go with that.)
++ Shokkeru
Best idea yet
Dango! A Loli Mechanized Green Dango!! ^_^
MAHOU-MECHA-LOLIMUSUME-ECCHI-DANGO DAIKAZOKU FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone’s talking about mascots, but I think we need a logo before we need a mascot, rite??
Actually, I think the drill bra should be our mascot.
Lupus: I read and ignored.
Someone pointing at something. OMFG! THAT!
I thought Impz was already the macot XD
I kinda want to draw something but it won’t be very impressive =(
@Maipeisu: A logo would require a mascot. Or is it the other way around? o_o;
Psht, that’s easy! Just draw the mahou shoujo version of impz sitting in a circle. I could do that for you if you want.
Yes Choux, do it.
Ok, some thing a little more in realm of the possible.
1 – A big dango family with one member representing every blogger. Ie. vampir-dango, mecha-dango, loli-dango, lupus-dango, etc… It sounds more like an avatar is in it?
2 – A T-1000 Dango that look cute but can metamorph in to a blade capable of slash cars in two halfs.
@_@ I thought Thirteen Sugars was our mascot…
well, I like Shokkeru’s idea. It’d be interesting to see each Danco personalized by each blogger’s personality, and he/she is free to change them in any occation they want, or Danco cosplays series they’re blogging, lol. (though that’ll be more work for Lupus)
@Lupus: oh~ dear Lupus, we do read your comment but you made a huge mistake by mentioning “Mahou Shoujo Impz”. Don’t worry, I can help you with the drawing though… I mean, the circle… XD
No freakin’ circle please! No dango. No Ranka. Well, I didn’t watch MF anyway.
I agree about the Majou Shoujo Impz. That’s gonna be.. ughh.. a trap. But it’s good trap. I hope.
Well it doesn’t have to be a freakin’ Dango. I was just using it as an example. It could be similar to something like maybe that cat head thingy from Lucky Star or that “Metapod” from Hidamari Sketch.
That “metapod”, as you call it, is the avatar of Aoki Ume, the mangaka of Hidamari Sketch. She voices it too.
soo.. just to make sure, Impz isn’t already the mascot?
I find it instructive that so many comments have gone “wait, I thought Impz was already the mascot”.
A chibi of all the bloggers would be nice (in a lucky star style)
~Prince~ If I was the mascot, Impz would insist that it’s a moe piglet with a mahou green-haired mechanical lolitrap inside a huge dango with little dangos for each blogger….
Hmmm, my idea of a mascot is something not quite suitable for all audience.
Green-haired Cyborg Dango?
Hmm…

LOL I’ll put in my vote for Moe Trappy Impzie!
http://that.animeblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/iamfuckingmoe.jpg
An honest question to those who suggested a Trap Dango: how can you tell?
~DKellis~ Maybe it’s the size…?

I hope you did not arrive at that conjecture solely from me modifying the blog’s theme ;P But yes, I admit to being a weak willed male, but I am not an unfaithful one. Well considering polygamy is legal in Malaysia, I see no harm in having another waifu or two, har har.
That aside, I agree with some of posters above that that mascot should be based on Impz, an original design that has green hair and all that, with whatever fanservice elements you can come up with. Hopefully once the final design is ready, you guys would put up a poll or something.
DKellis: You are told. How else do you tell a character is a trap?
Mahou Shoujo Impz with his magical staff Raising Rake. Plus, make it a green-haired loli. Win.
Anything but Ranka.
@DKellis: It’ll look delicious, but when you taste it…you’ll find out it has other unpleasant flavors…
the images of ‘robot girls’ comes to mine… that is pictures of girls cosplaying as mobile suits you see floating around the internet.. i’m sure Impz would look good in a GP02A gear
~Suisei~ That… that floored me!
A giant green p0n0s.
