She’s not a super-fan of anything. I don’t dislike her (or even deride her for it), but there is not a speck of geek/nerd/otaku in her; she’s doing it for the money and the money alone.

You can still appreciate […]

Post-op…

It’s an advertising scheme. No seriously, look it up. Called Zettai PR or something like that. In this case, she’s placed an ad for herself…

Maaya Sakamoto did great as Motoko, and I knew she would ever since hearing that she is to voice the role. If being presented with the choice of Maaya Sakamoto or Atsuko Tanaka for the new movie and TV anime, I […]

It is. They just screwed up big time.

Same reason only women can pilot IS

Well, duh, most things are supposed to be the way they are. HouseLife made it sound like he was wondering whether there is some kind of more thought-out writing behind the sex in this (in no way does this […]

Often no option at all with figures. Good ones that managed to build some hype before release (even if just among fringe circles) tend to sell out in a day. When the first independent review is up you’re at the […]

You’re reading too much into it. This article for example, isn’t negative about Dragon Ball itself as much as it’s about the IP holders letting the franchise rot while still having the audacity to milk it.

I […]

Outsourcing is a symptom, not the problem. Overseas studios can only be as good as their contract is worth, including Vietnamese ones.

“a rejection of Western ideas and culture”

You mean the same “rejection of Western ideas and culture” as the Meiji restoration?

Also, both religious and Japan’s notoriously ass-backwards women’s groups would fight any attempt to change the status quo.
Same for the police lobby, who count on “screening” releases “for compliance” being […]

They censor it because it’s law, courtesy of the good old US of A.

They don’t change the law because so far no politician has bothered to touch it, the Yakuza-operated JAV industry is afraid of drawing too much […]

anon 08:25 I was referring to live-action adaptations of an original manga or anime. So far, Hollywood has always failed spectacularly.

EoT was technically a novel adaptation. Whether they will ever actually succeed with an original manga or anime still remains to be seen. While Japan at least has an actual track record of successful adaptations.

Are you stupid? You can’t just go to kickstarter with an IP that doesn’t belong to you.

They’re not some random third party. They have already inquired Key about the licensing fees, so once they have the funding, […]

So the included original Japanese dub is fail as well?

Vanilla does NOT mean “happy sex”, it does not even necessarily imply consent. It just means conventional intercourse.

You can get off to torture, but not to BDSM? Is it really that bad when there is consent???
