The latest scandal to surface around “national idol” group AKB48 may be the most damaging yet – it has emerged that the group’s founders apparently enjoyed close relations with the yakuza, leading to the profoundly unsavoury conclusion that the Japanese government has been using public funds to subsidise a yakuza-connected idol group in order to promote Japan’s image overseas…
One-shot wonder social gaming publisher GungHo Online’s days of outstripping Nintendo in market cap look to be well and truly over – the company’s value has plunged by over a third in mere days, leaving nobody in any doubt as to the permanence of social gaming’s ascendancy.
Apple isn't doing horribly. That was much like facebook, where there was really nothing there but what you saw. Apple does deal in physical products (that happen to deal in air :P) so... More
Like the Apple bubble that's leaking air right now...... More
Another Photo Kano means another voyeuristically featured girl, with this week’s lens falling on tsundere glasses girl Aki Muroto, the show having apparently settled on the formula of one generic anime archetype a week…
Accompanying her Nendoroid figure release, is this stately figure of horny demon queen Maou donning her signature flowing gown (and also featuring her detachable horns), which is expected to arrive this October from Kotobukiya.
AKB48′s latest “general election” sees sex scandal idol Rino Sashihara leading the pack even as the group’s creepy otaku fans have succeeded in driving their sales to record levels.
i dont know japanese, but this music sounds generic. its not bad, but its also not memorable. and when i say that, there is a song called tatoo girl, i heard it last time about 3 years... More
depending on the plastic in cds, you could extrude it and sell it to people with 3d printers. its what im considering doing 5-8$ a kg, once extruded comes to 30-40$ a kg and you get... More
Louis Vuitton has followed up on its notorious Hatsune Miku outfit with a “life-size” (158cm) figure of her wearing the same ensemble.
Finally some decent Miku stuff from Loose Mutton... More
I'm not really a miku fan, though I do enjoy her songs. As a diva, she would be fairly insulted with the look LV gave her. The face is WAY off and her pose looks... More
Elaborate nail art may be a staple of girly Japanese fashion, but that has not stopped the vast majority of men quizzed about it reporting that they actually hate it – much to the consternation of nail salons throughout the land.
You can tell a lot about the health of a person just by looking at their nails, you know? Covering them up so elaborately might be a cause for suspicion...... More
Ugh.. isn't that just technically tattoos? Just as bad as this stuff, imo, regardless of your sex. But body paint... that's a little better, at least when used in an ecchi fashion :3... More
The steady succession of hit anime the 2000-2013 period has yielded has again been subject to rankification – demonstrating once more that the tastes of fans still maintain some balance between A & B even over a 13 year period…
This poll wasn't done on a wide variety of fans. If anything, it was done on a niche. I suspect the people of anime.biglobe to be mostly moe fans. This isn't reflective of the "mainstream"... More
No Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken? This fails as a list altogether entirely. This looks more like a list of "moe bullshit and some good anime's like Tiger and Bunny because we've seen to much... More
MoeNovel is preparing If My Heart Had Wings – the English edition of a visual novel about the not wholly unfamiliar theme of a male student and his wheelchair bound female companion who form a sky gliding club – as an all-ages version with high definition visuals, which is dated for arrival this June in both package and download form.
Hehe, yeah, become fans of the characters, then search them up online, then... bam, the entry into the world of hentai. That really takes me back... I was a happy shota ^___^... More
No, visual novels exist because companies want to make money. Catering to pervs is not their first priority. The moment visual novels became popular and mainstream ditching pervs and making titles available to a wider... More
Sony’s PlayStation 4 is already being heralded as the victor of the 8th generation console war, as news of just how poor Microsoft’s Xbox One offering is have begun to sink in, with poor specs, a pathetically weak games line-up, excessive emphasis on TV rather than games, no backwards compatibility and no support for used games all combining to offer a massive boost to Sony’s share price.
youy mean the half-assed enhanced port of the watered down monster hunter that is still behind frontier in term of graphic ? yeah , that's a system seller all right ... i'll wait for MH4 ..... More
The dumb part of your argument is the whole thing.... More
Microsoft has finally unveiled the new Xbox, dubbed the Xbox One and due “later this year,” although with the better part of their presentation being given over to TV and EA Sports precious little of the actual game line-up was on show.
News flash: you can hold a controller and play games in front of the telly on the computer as well... hell, my friends and I have been doing that for a long time now.... More
I wonder what it will look like when it redrings.... More
China watchers have been marvelling at a Guangzhou traffic crossing which gives pedestrians 5 seconds to dash across a 100m stretch of busy road…
when i went to china the time for the pedestrian was 80+ seconds and green but suddenly went red... stupid chinese signals.... More
