Obari Workout

An Obari Workout is what happens when a bunch of super robots get redesigned by Hirotoshi Sano’s or Masami Obari’s own strong involvement to look a lot more awesome on the screen.

Dangaioh is one of the first shows to be associated with the Obari Workout that still has awed fans to this day. So is Gundam Wing.

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!

Oxford Oscar

When an Academy Award is won by some British artistic movie no one's heard of.

"Dude, did you see 'The King's Speech'?"
"Nah dude, why?"
"Dude, it, like, totally won the best picture Oscar."
"Oh, it must have been an Oxford Oscar."

"Meryl Streep holds the record for the most Oxford Oscars, even though she's American."

rusty ocarina

It's the rusty trombone but performed on a woman.

Her eyes light up like the cleric sunrise when I went from tossing her salad to playing her rusty ocarina.
