For some reason I am not really surprised. To me AKB48 as a brand is just a institution that preys on the gullible Japanese otaku, just one of many areas of outlets that the yakuza use for cash income. Once the girls are tainted or are no longer profitable, they are offered a second chance [...]

YES! This is great news. Even if the anime will be crap, this is still great news! They have a lot of potential material to work with so it should be at the very least mildly humorous.

man, akb48 and the whole idol industry itself in japanese is just full of lies and illusions. They shouldn’t even be marketing these girls as pure or virgins in the first place.

sega are on crack. other than capcom, they probably are one of the worst offenders of producing a great game then running the franchise and it’s original fanbase into the ground.

do they not want to be successful?

i literally only follow this series and play it’s games so I can keep up to date with my fap material.

no joke.

however in this version the girls seem to look a bit..older..and chubbier for some reason…dunno.

justice has been done for the blu-ray.

Most times it is usually just condensed milk but sometimes people do the real thing…this looks like the real thing…ehh…

Photos out of context but it’s still pretty funny that it’s getting so much attention.

When you are that cute and cosplay as fate, loli fate at that, you are just asking for trouble/ attention.

the photoshop is strong with this one.

I love this series, probably my favorite manga. Kinda sad that it has come to an end but at least with this gag series you won’t really upset anyone, it’ll just be missed greatly…

fuck. the hurt. this boy is fucked up forever until the day he dies.

The strong amount of Madoka and Nanoha are to be expected, within the past 10 years or so the magical girl genre has changed demographics.

If they were to specify “of the 90′s” sailor moon and the rest would definitely be up there.

This list is valid.

1. Tomokazu Sugita – this is about right.

2. Aya Hirano – 272,915 – this is hot air.

the rest are about right.

Overall good wonder festival this year. some pretty good stuff by the big companies and same for GK as well.

I was wondering why I hadn’t ordered any figures for this year so far, then I realized wonfes was coming up…now I have a few things to keep my eye on.

The majority of animation for anime shows is done in s.korea so I can understand the VIPERS concerns about koreans stealing their culture or whatnot but this is probably going a little over the top.

As far as I am concerned, unless the character is specifically stated otherwise as not being Caucasian/White or conforms to the standard white aesthetics stereotype of blonde, blue eyes, big breasts, arrogant etc, then all anime/game characters are Japanese by design or in a broader sense, east-Asian. It goes without saying that the comparison image [...]

the french have a great military history, it’s just that it’s been getting a bad wrap for the past few centuries with napoleon and the whole colonization and imperialism thing, of which they pretty much were bested by the British and in WWII.

it’s a Japanese french language conversation book. why else would there be anything else other than relevant talk about saber and such. There’s a big population of anime and Japanese stuff in France so it’s not that surprising.

“Give it a rest, it’s basically a form of prostitution so what do you expect?” Basically true, except you don’t get the goods upfront and you have to settle with only touching only after paying a lot more for what it’s worth. Just wait till the member leaves, then you can get the real goods. [...]
