Adequate.com Horrible experiments conducted on innocent anime toys! http://chibiproject.com/ en-US ℗ & © 2008 Adequate.com The Chibi Project distribution@chibiproject.com Adequate.com's scientific laboratories came into the possession of a small PVC figure of the Sailor Moon character known as "Chibi Moon". Upon realizing the high level of pure evil being radiated by this anime figure, our top scientists began to subject the small soldier to a battery of tests. Having failed to determine a method of destruction, we have since moved on to other test subjects in hope of finding a solution. This podcast covers the various experiments that have been conducted. http://media.chibiproject.com/i/ChibiProject_100x100.jpg http://podcast.chibiproject.com/ The Chibi Project What happens when you duct tape a black cat to a tree during a Gulf Coast hurricane?

Unfortunately, the short notice on which most hurricanes arrive made it difficult to mail the Chibi Moon figure in time. Ultimately, we decided to improvise with another figure. Six hours before Hurricane Dennis was expected to make landfall, we found a Kuroneko figurine. Kuroneko, the annoying "Where's Waldo" character from Trigun, seemed like a perfect test subject. Let's face it -- who hasn't wanted to punt a cat at some point in their lives? So, armed with duct tape, we went outside and strapped the bastard to a tree branch. A few hours later, Hurricane Dennis began pummeling the yard with 110 MPH winds and driving rain. Branches, fence parts, and small rodents were also airborne during this time. By nightfall, the hurricane had died down to the level of a "normal" rainstorm. We ventured outside to discover that while some duct tape had survived, Kuroneko was long gone. Searches of the neighborhood -- conducted with the help of the children living nearby -- yielded no sign of the cat. http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0113-Episode13.m4v Tue, 23 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project What happens when we forget we put Sailor Venus in a potato bag for nine months?

After we blew her head off, we called it a day and packed up. Sailor Venus was put in a bag with a leftover potato and brought home...where we forgot about her for NINE MONTHS! After discovering flies in the kitchen, we found the source: a rotting potato and Sailor Venus! The bag was immediately brought outside in the darkness and the horror was recorded using the nightshot mode. Sailor Venus was hosed off and cleaned up, except for the remaining maggots inside her head. We're clearly bitter about not even being nominated for a Webby Award, but through a bit of bribing (and stealing of pants), we finally managed to get one of our own. Sure we didn't earn it, but it's ours! HA HA HA! Maybe this will get them to notice us for next year. We talk about our upcoming appearances at PortConMaine, ConnectiCon, and San Japan. We also answer some e-mails and pimp our new DVDs! http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0112-Episode12.m4v Tue, 25 Jun 2008 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project A doll of Sailor Chibi Moon gets tarred and feathered live at Anime Boston 2008.

Chibi Moon is "tarred" using rubberized driveway crack sealer packaged in a caulking tube. After being covered in black caulk, she is "feathered".

Seeing everyone go out and cut down Christmas trees gave us an idea...to use a chainsaw to cut through the dolls rather than a tree. We get assistance from our theme song composer, K.T.F. Terison and discover that chainsaws aren't quite as unstoppable as you might think. http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0110-Episode10.m4v Wed, 5 Dec 2007 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project Our live presentation at Bakuretsu Con was a smashing success in more ways than one!

We knew right away that we wanted to imitate the way Sakura uses her wand...but smash it. We also knew that it would be best done in front of a live audience, so we took the show on the road to Bakuretsu Con 2007 and performed the experiment in front of fans. http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0109-Episode9.m4v Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project ADV sold a Menchi plush that came with a grill.

It was an in-joke that referenced Menchi being the "emergency food supply" in the show. Of course, when we got our hands on one, what else would we do with it but actually grill Menchi? http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0108-Episode8.m4v Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project After countless requests, we finally drop Chibi Moon (and two others) from way up high!

We've been fairly reluctant to do a drop test since we prefer the more elaborate tests, but when the opportunity to drop toys from the top of Dragon's Descent at Funtown Splashtown U.S.A. came around, we couldn't pass that up. For this experiment, Bill, the head of maintenance at Funtown, went up 200 feet to the top of Dragon's Descent during his daily 7:00 am maintenance and safety check. While he was up there, he dropped a Chibi Moon doll, EVA Unit 01, and Psyduck. It all happened so fast! However, one of those dropped survived to be tested another day. Watch the episode to find out who. Also, please keep in mind that temperatures were in the 90's and it was incredibly humid. If we don't look our best, that would be why. http://media.chibiproject.com/podcasts/0107-Episode7.m4v Wed, 3 Oct 2007 12:00:00 -0500 The Chibi Project Live at Anime Boston 2007, Tuxedo Mask has a brush with death.
