weirder than Canada: the boy with the girl for a hand

[anotheranon]

Found this over at gblake's feed: Midori no Hibi. Synopsis:

Based on the popular manga! Midori no Hibi is about Sawamura Seiji, a.. um... "bad" high school student...All that changes when suddenly one morning, he wakes up, and his right hand is... A GIRL?! Talk about complications. The girl's name is Kasugano Midori and was secretly in love with Seiji since a long time ago (she still likes him now!) How will things turn out for this awkward "couple"?

For the record, I have only a very passing familiarity with anime of any kind; this may be a completely normal plotline in this genre but somehow, I doubt this. jlsjlsjls, I think I've found a rival in weirdness to "Puppets Who Kill", no?

Actually, I've never seen it, but I'm unaccountably fascinated - anyone know where you can rent such a thing?

When it comes to anime it's hard to say if there is a typical plotline. There are lots of common story-types, but they seem to make an effort to give some shows a bit of a twist. Even after watching stuff for a few years I'm constantly amazed at the range of shows. Everything from silly stuff like this to much more serious stuff.
Unfortunately midori no hibi isn't even out on DVD in japan yet (and only three episodes have aired so far). Your best bet for getting it is downloading fansubs from someplace like http://a.scarywater.net/ae/ using bittorrent.

I swear, that's the only explanation for some of these plotlines...

now what I'd really find interesting is some South Park/Midori crossover fic. "Mr. Hand! Come back here!"

Yeah, I'd say this ranks pretty high on the weirdness scale ***thinking that the guy's lucky it was just his hand that turned into a girl ]:-)***
