Church Defiling Vandals Appointed Peace Ambassadors

A group of six Japanese junior college students visiting Florence took it upon themselves to desecrate Florence Cathedal, a six hundred year old structure noted for its great dome, defacing the marble walls therein by scrawling graffiti on them in an act of sacrilege.

Italians (or at least a few senile old priests and media hacks) seem positively delighted by the level of bowing and scraping their complaints of vandalism against some irreverent Japanese students have elicited; so delighted in fact that when the girls visited (out of their own pockets, or least those of their parents) the historic cathedral they scrawled graffiti on to grovel and shed tears of repentance, they were greeted with open arms and praise for their courtesy and manners, and subsequently made into peace ambassadors.

New Inuyasha Anime Announced

New Inuyasha Anime Announced

With the long and glorious history of the manga serialisation having recently drawn to a close, Inuyasha fans may have been lamenting the demise of the long running series; this may have been premature, as now we have news of a new anime production, though only a short one.

Strike Witches: DVD H Up & Gratuitous Pantsu Table

Strike Witches Pantsu Matome - this by Neko Are Blog

Aerial pantsu (see below) anime Strike Witches has been attracting much attention with its “They’re not pantsu, so it’s not embarrassing” logic, and of course because of its strong adolescent girl pantsu motif; now it seems that the DVD edition is to get a strong selling point in the form of even more ecchiness, with the news that the creators will be including the bits they were “forced” to remove (removed because of the marketing possibilities seems at least as likely), specifically the pink bits attached to the chests of the female characters will now all be included.

Cosplay Makes it into the Dictionary

Cosplay Elite Gallery - コスプレエリートギャラリー 長門/Nagato

It seems the influence of Japanese culture continues to make inroads; we hear that the Concise Oxford English Dictionary has in its latest revision added the word “cosplay” to its pages, defining it uncontroversially as dressing up as Japanese anime and manga characters, etc.

As Jabro points out, this does leave open the question of whether the definition includes non-Japanese cosplay, but the “etc” would seem to cover that. This is reported in the pages of a recent edition of the Nikkei Shimbun.

Finally, the obligatory link to the Cosplay Elite Gallery.

Full Metal Alchemist II?

Full Metal Alchemist Winry Rockbell

The recently leaked and rather controversial Bones animator list has been disowned by Bones as not being an internal company document, however as Moon Phase rightly points out, they have not touched upon the genuineness of the information contained within (the personal details are thought to be genuine), nor shed any light on the provenance of the document.

Deathly Expansion

Deathly Expansion - a morbidly bizarre affliction

This unfortunate young lady (23) is not pregnant; at least not with child – she harbours instead a truly gargantuan tumourous growth in her belly, which has grown to its current proportions over the last two years or so, and seems set to be her undoing.

SCIV: Mai-Hime Designer’s New Character, All Fee Based?

SCIV: Mai-Hime Designer’s New Character, All Fee Based?

Two interesting pieces of news emerge about the imminent Soul Calibur IV; firstly, it is confirmed that noted Mai-Otome character designer 久行宏和 / Hirokazu Hisayuki has designed one of the extra characters, above, looking to be another supernaturally inclined character, an oni if I’m not mistaken.

The next piece of news is rather more speculative: we have a report that the extra characters will take the form of pricey downloadable content, though this is still very much unconfirmed.

Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei – New OVA / OAD Due

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

Some celebrations are in order for followers of the most visually sumptuous and innovative anime of recent years, to say nothing of its biting satire, as details of a new OVA release of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei have emerged, to be titled 獄・さよなら絶望先生 / Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Goku meaning jail, but seemingly punning on 極 / Goku, meaning exceedingly).

Quoth the official site: “Has there ever been such a reckless project? Limited Edition Comic with included Original Animation DVD announced!”

More proof, as if any was needed, that 3Dカスタム少女 / 3D Custom Shoujo / 3D Custom Girl could with some work become the Vocaloid of the eroge world. Now we are presented with some interesting (none too H) videos of the Haruhi-dan reproduced with as much fidelity as the game allows. Even has long hair Haruhi for good measure. See also the earlier look, amongst others.
