Comment on Detroit Maid Cafe Stuns Japanese by HouseLife:

Actually a maid cafe with bars on the windows and such could be made into something rather spectacular if done correctly.

Do Strike Witches style and have it peppered with prop army fixtures and make it look like a bunker and have the girls all walk around with guns in holsters and such and their outfits all look a little wartorn, and they’re a bit more nonchalant about the whole ‘war outside’ type deal.

Anyway, with enough creativity anything can be utilized in any setting…

…but these girls, while brave, are kind of… I won’t even hide it they shouldn’t be doing this. You’re flaunting a concept that involves beauty when you obvious don’t really try. Outfits do not make one beautiful, they enhance what’s already there, even if what’s already there is a spare tire.

And I didn’t even consider the black maid concept in US history until the comment in the article. That made me actually laugh that they thought of it before I did.

  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 they actually do have merit in what they do, even though I dislike their products and their practices myself.

  Overcrowded is the problem. Unfortunately they’re trying to hop a trend as the trend is dying. They either must reinvent their social gaming to usher in a new form, or they’re going to go with substandard rapid creations like that crap that was posted here the other day and fail even further. For now they can blame Wada, but it really wasn’t him who screwed everything up.

  Anyone who knows anything about stocks knows that eventually a stock based on air will rise and fall like nobody’s business, I just didn’t expect it to crash so spectacularly in a few days. I am actually happy.

  Well, that depends. GITS had its affect back in the 20th century, however technically so did Evangelion, so it’s a little strange. I definitely see some decent presence in this list. Haruhi being high is correct, it redefined so much with its creation it deserves its place.

• Top 25 Anime Girls Love & Guys Hate:
  

  It’s not ruining it at all. This yet again is the same bullshit as with games. The series have nothing wrong with them. Only the fans. Nobody deserves to have their worthless opinions heard when they dislike a series because of the overzealous fans of that series, in either direction. Intense love and intense hate leading to mindlessness has nothing whatsoever to do with the show itself.
