Kadokawa Grovels After Haruhi-chan PR Disaster

kadokawa-pr-disaster.jpg

Kadokawa’s grotesque marketing of its Haruhi-chan anime (to say nothing of the rerun of the original) seems to have resulted in such a negative backlash that their marketing department has launched itself into urgent damage control, replacing the “it wasn’t ready” nice boat announcement with a typically grovelling Japanese apology:

    ^ Nail. Head. The level of hysteria around here makes me think KyoAni could have spent months on this thing, release it on time, and still have it dumped on simply for not being season 2.... More

    I can't blame anyone for being pissed off for being jerked around time and time again by Kadokawa - I'm more hesitant, if only slightly, to blame Kyoto animation, which probably had little say in... More


Tragedy Duck

Mother duck is stricken by tragedy; those of a more sensitive disposition may wish to believe that her offspring are merely out of frame now, although such thinking may be too wishful to be convincing.

haruhi-chan-episode-1.jpg

After their jolly little marketing jape to drum up a storm of conversation amongst the sad remnants of Haruhi’s fanbase, Kadokawa have graciously deigned to broadcast Haruhi-chan on YouTube after all.

    How does "今までに放送したものを改めて放送する" translate to anything but "broadcasting once again that which has been broadcast before"? Similarly, doesn't "「ハルヒ」の新作が見られるのはまだ先になりそうだ。", which - I hasten to add- remained unchanged in both former and present version, mean... More


Nico Gay Porn Star Billy Herrington Gets Figmatized

billy_herrington_figma_01.jpg

Speculation concerning Billy Herrington’s arrival in Japan to attend today’s WonHobi 9 figure event proved to be correct – the bisexual former gay porn star will be receiving his own Figma action figure, complete with dumbbells, a shower stall, and sweat towel.

Aniki’s (Big Brother in Japanese, as he is usually known) claim to fame in Japan is, of course, the meme in which clips of  his porn antics are inserted into other, unrelated Nico videos for comedic effect. Presumably the accessories included with the Figma are there so buyers can recreate memorable scenes from his most famous piece, GachiMuchi Wrestling.

“Kicking Oyaji” Vipper Challenge

oyaji-vipper-challenge-1.jpg

The Vippers once more threw down the gauntlet (to themselves), challenging all comers: “Make this image cool!” With the decidedly uncharismatic oyaji in question, captured in the midst of an exaggerated flying kick, this presents something of a challenge.

Fortunately, there are Photoshop masters at hand:

An 83-year-old man has been arrested after he offered a group of schoolboys classes in the finer points of onanism. He had also apparently been offering impromptu instruction, by way of exposing himself to the school’s younger students, on a charitable basis for a number of years…

Shimapan Idol Gallery

shimapan_striped_pantsu_idols_003.jpg

A gallery of shimapan sporting idols; as you may know, shimapan, an abbreviation of shima-pantsu (striped panties), are one of the new wave moe fashions to sweep the otaku landscape.

The archetypal example is light green horizontally striped pantsu, visible in a number of shots here, but generally the term also covers even vertically striped pantsu, and even diagonal stripes for the unorthodox. These however enjoy lesser status, or in some cases are shunned entirely.
