This website has been neglected for almost 2 months. My sincere apology. So many things cropped up during these 2 months, so much so that I didn’t even get the chance to catch Dragonball evolution. Now, how busy can one get?

Some say April is the beginning of summer. I can’t agree more. The weather this week has reached a whopping 35 degree Celcius! We are all sweltering and covered with a BO that refuses to diffuse :(

Summer brings us a lot of memories, both fun and not. One of the funniest and most engaging activities that those anime characters do during the summer is water-melon smashing. Haha… And the venue is usually the beach! How apt can that be? I suppose water-melon is considered a refreshing fruit, and it does quench your thirst on a hot scorching day. But is that the reason the smash it open?

I’ve done some research and collected some fun water-melon smashing scenes for our viewing pleasure…

1) Azumanga Daioh
Done between Tomo and Kagura for several times.

2) Full Metal Panic
Between Sousuke and his classmates, but that never happened. I can’t find the picture, so I substituted it with this…

3) Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu
Hazuki has done us proud :)

4) Ranma 1/2
There are numerous water-melon smashing scenes, even a contest. However, I can’t find any pictures of them.. just his one with Ranma in a watermelon swimsuit and with some watermelons in the background :(

I love watermelon on a hot day.. don’t you?
