The new March issue of Newtype magazine has given the release date of “September 2010″ for the previously announced Gundam 00 theatrical film, news sure to enliven the day of many mecha fans.
A special edition of Hatsune Miku’s legendary Nendoroid incarnation has been released much to the detriment of fan wallets, behold Snow Miku:
The recently released Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu movie attained the #7 spot in the Japanese nation-wide box office during its opening weekend, an exceedingly impressive figure for an otaku oriented anime film, although not nearly as high as last year’s incredible Evangelion 2.0’s debut at #1.
Eco-terrorist group Sea Shepherd has announced it intends to attack boats fishing for Northern Bluefin Tuna, a species for which most demand comes from Japan.
It seems some K-ON! otaku are irredeemably gripped by Tsumugi-mania – here one can be seen compulsively buying Mugi Takuan, with at least 100 packets visible and two boxes at the top of the frame.
And yet this is but the latest in a long line of such afflictions…
Yoko Littner is cosplayed here with volume and verisimilitude in her usual skimpy ensemble, for once managing to outdo the 2D version in colourfulness.
Lolicon mascot Pedobear (or Kuma in his original 2ch incarnation) has been dubbed the 2010 Vancouver Olympic mascot by one factually challenged newspaper.
A business article on the burst of the moe bubble explains the trials the industry faces, with an anime industry figure woefully admitting that he could sell anything he dumped on consumers at the boom’s height.
A Figma version of Touhou’s famous witch Kirisame Marisa promises to allow Touhou fans the long awaited opportunity of privately posing the witch astride her broom (or almost – it seems this crucial pose has been omitted).
Nippon Ichi has posted a 97.5% decrease in operating profits, and trading in its shares has temporarily been suspended due to their value plummeting 19.34% in a single day.
>implying that barely making profit is good news. It's not worth anyone's time to run a business with such low profit margins. And operating profits don't account for overhead costs.... More
and la pucelle. That game was amazing when I first played it. Disgaea though definitely wins. Poor Disgaea...where is 4? Nippon Ichi will always be one of my favorite gaming companies...even once they are long dead. Disgaea... More
Wonder Festival, the unquestionably preeminent figure and garage kit event in Japan, held its Winter 2010 event yesterday on February 7.
As always, the event provided a ravishing amount of otaku eye-candy, running the gamut from pre-painted PVC figures from companies such as Alter, Good Smile and Kotobukiya to a vast assortment of resin garage kits from tiny doujin circles…
how otaku can get so much money to buy that, specially after the comiket!... More
I was looking forward to this article! img08,30: -_- you didn't make a comment on any of the nanoha figures img15: that yuki and haruhi nendo for the movie are must haves. img22: I'm still trying real hard... More
Tony’s latest publication is his Tony Works Ciel Chronicle, a 144 page “complete” collection of his illustrations from various eroge titles published under the Ciel brand, including many hitherto seen only on limited edition items such as phone cards.

Even though Tony Taka's art has been written about a lot here, I hadn't really taken the time to appreciate it. I'll start now, after study time ofc...... More
