The Chibi Project

At Zenkaikon 2011, we see what happens if we see exactly how much of Queen Serenity can be curled up with a curling iron with rather surprising results.

Nobody in the history of the world has ever taken on a snowblower with a couple shuriken...until now. We're not chicken!

Some Love Hina figures were dressed up for the beach, so we supplied the sand...by way of an orbital sander...live at Anime Boston 2010. We also answer some questions from the audience.

You've seen it on TV! It's great for grating cheese, vegetables, fruit, Gundams... Wait, Gundams? Yes, we gave Turn A Gundam a turn in a grater and chopped him to bits. Did it work? Watch and find out!

In 2005, we were defeated when a toy actually broke the blender. Back at Anime Boston with a better blender and a softer toy, we're out for revenge! This episode is also the first time four Chibi Project scientists have assembled together.

PatrickD and Jekka let the cat out of the bag and will mow you over in the season 2 premiere of The Chibi Project. Trigun's Kuronekosama has previously escaped the wrath of Hurricane Dennis, but has its luck run out as it goes up against a tractor?

PatrickD was invited to Tsubasacon 2005 as a guest. Determined to entertain West Virginians with a new experiment, he brought a "Sailor Moon Cycle" which had been donated. It was made out of brittle plastic material and almost certain to shatter into many sharp pieces.

Upon arriving at the convention, Patrick discovered a theater next door with a large weight for the stage rigging. Borrowing one, he used that as the instrument of destruction. The experiment was conducted in stages. First, the weight was placed on the toy and then forced downward. No damage happened, so the toy was placed on the floor and the weight was dropped from a low elevation. That bent a wheel, but didn't do much damage. From knee height, the toy was clearly broken. From waist height, the toy was completely shattered into many pieces.

This all started at Anime Boston 2005 where Megaman was put into a blender. We attempted to chop him into bits, but he was just too tough for the blender. We ended up destroying the blender instead. This was the first failed experiment in the history of The Chibi Project.

Wanting to get our revenge, we handed Megaman over to our friend Buford. Buford likes firearms and has quite a collection. He brought Megaman out to the firing range along with a Kimber Stainless 1911 (semi-auto pistol, .45 ACP), Yugoslavian military M59/66 SKS (semi-auto rifle, 7.62x39mm Soviet), Remington 870 Express Magnum with 26" barrel and imp. cyl. choke (pump shotgun, 12 gauge), Winchester "white box" .45 ACP FMJ target ammo, Wolf 7.62x39mm Soviet FMJ ammo, Remington Express Magnum 12 gauge 00 buckshot shells, and Federal Hi-Power #6 shotshell.

Megaman didn't stand a chance. Working his way up through his arsenal, he took out Megaman's head, arms, and legs. All that remained by the end were tiny pieces. Megaman is no more.

As a fan of Ctrl+Alt+Chicken, Patrick has wanted to do a cooking episode ever since the start of The Chibi Project Podcast. Now, two years and 22 episodes later, it finally happened!

For this cooking experiment, Jekka was put in charge. She has had a secret recipe for baking cakes using nothing more than a soft drink and cake mix. Take a box of cake mix and pour in a can of soft drink (minus two sips). Mix that up. Next, grease up your cake pan (or two if they're small). Pour in the mix and bake at the recommended temperature.

For this experiment, we placed Mint from Galaxy Angel and Bumblebee from Transformers into the cakes.

What genius came up with the idea of a show about spinning tops that fight? It's a pretty stupid concept if you ask us. We decided it was time for revenge, powered up the tops, and let it rip.

We took a Dremel and a Craftsman Rotary Tool and used them to make Beyblade tops spin much faster than they're every supposed to spin. Once that becomes boring, we take a hole cutter and make the whole stadium spin.
