Major otaku stores (Tora no Ana, Melonbooks, etc.) frequently display lists of their Top 10 bestselling doujinshi, but the most watched rankings are always the ones in the weeks following Comiket.
As Comiket 76 ended last week, there is the interesting opportunity to inspect these doujinshi rankings from three major Akihabara shops – Tora no Ana, Messe Sanoh and Melonbooks.
K-ON!’s spectacular rise continues in what 2ch calls an untoward act of “ranking rape”, with no less than 5 of the top 10 most popular anime characters in Megami Magazine’s latest ranking coming from K-ON!
The now highly unbalanced ranking runs as follows:
This appealing art transposes the cast of K-ON! into the characters of Lyrical Nanoha, with a variety of highly recognisable Nanoha mainstays on display…
Popular eroge derived mahou shoujo anime Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha is to receive what is being billed as its “4th series”, although the new production will actually be a comic, at least to start, a change which has surprised fans.
Less surprising to fans, but possibly problematic to some, is that the series will no longer be billed as “Mahou Shoujo” Lyrical Nanoha, but as 魔法戦記リリカルなのはForce / Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force, senki here meaning something along the lines of “Martial Chronicle”.
Ain't that great guys? You get another season of loli/moe blobiness to gloat at. Wait, not loli anymore? That's sure to lose some fans but may result in some good hentai for me.... More

A video compilation of many memorable OPs from anime that were originally derived from eroge.
Many favorites such as To Heart, Nanoha, and Key series make an appearance, spanning over a decade’s worth of eroge anime.

Volks is releasing two new anime character Dollfies (BJD, or ball jointed dolls) in the forms of a Fate/Stay Night’s Illyasviel von Einzbern Mini Dollfie Dream and a Nanoha Takamachi Dollfie Dream.
The spectacular Saber Dollfie is likely to remain the premiere anime Dollfie for some time, but these two newer dolls should be of interest to some, as they both clearly exhibit Volks’ strong focus on quality…

Might it be possible to judge an artist by their Horo? Certainly Tony and Simoshi seem to pour their talents into the wolfish sage; here we see another superb rendition, by みかづきあきら / Mikazuki Akira, also going by the name of Trimoon, a freelance CG artist of evident skill and taste.
Some more works by the artist, including plenty of old favourites:
A fan of Nanoha’s Fate Testarossa has made this strikingly attractive ita-PSP of Fate.
The creator was thoughtful enough to upload a video guide to the creation process to Nico, and with our recently acquired NicoNico embed rights, it is provided below.
Hey! Just when I was wondering how to approach this issue... I've never liked the white on my PSP... Much less the Darth Vader mug on the battery cover...... More
The video worked fine for me a min ago.... More
Undefeated welter weight champion kickboxer and crossdressing otaku cosplayer Yuichiro Nagashima, whose impressive record now stands at 10 bouts and 10 victories, with 7 KOs, has vowed yet further triumphs after his most recent victory.
Above he is seen cosplaying his hero Vita, of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, during a recent interview, the text of which you read below:
This otaku decided the prospect of pool antics with his harem of magical girl companions was too good to pass up on, so he opted to take them to the pool with him, going so far as to provide a photographic record of the event for all to see.
Nanoha’s Fate, Hayate and Vita all accompanied him to the public swimming pool, and by the looks of things much fun was had by all:
The upcoming Nanoha movie has ensured activity on the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Strikers goods front; the most interesting we hear of is this Subaru and Tiana “romantic pillowcase”, displaying the pair in no small detail.
This maniacal otaku bought no less than five of the newly released 1/7 scale 八神はやて / Yagami Hayate figures, each in the region of ¥10,000, marking him out as an otaku’s otaku indeed. Stacked, the boxes reach a height of some 2m. Is he perhaps trying to communicate something?
Observers are speculating as to just what he needs five of them for; one to admire, one to save, one to show off, and… ?
