Blade of the Immortal Anime First Impressions

無限の住人 / Blade of the Immortal Anime First Impressions - Has 沙村広明 / Hiroaki Samura's magnum opus been done justice in this adaptation?

Being a long time reader of 沙村広明 / Hiroaki Samura’s various works, especially 無限の住人 / Blade of the Immortal (though I still maintain the Inhabitant of Infinity has the better ring to it), I have been keen to get a look at the anime adaption which has just started airing. It is far from a complete disaster, but in various respects I can’t help but think it falls short of even my modest expectations.

Fundoshi Moe

Fundoshi Moe Cake

Six types of fundoshi modelled by delicious cake. Top right looks most interesting but least practical; middle and bottom right look to have the best balance of aesthetics and functionality. Unfortunately (?), traditional Japanese practice generally has ladies not wearing any underwear, with fundoshi especially being the province only of sweaty men.

I am still hoping to put together a fundoshi gallery, but it is rather difficult and will take some time… Open invitation is open.

Idols on Sale – $100 a Kiss

Inran

Idols, particularly those of an aspiring or hard up bent, are not exactly known for their reticence in ensuring their paying customers get due incentive to keep paying; so it is with little surprise that we read of idols virtually prostituting themselves for a song…

SM Queen Eggplant-sama

Okama's food themed dominatrix ナスビ様 / Nasubi-sama (Eggplant-sama) finally nears the release of her figure incarnation. And with a level of exposure not seen in the Food Girls artbook.

Something for fans of excellent artist Okama catches my eye: food themed dominatrix ナスビ様 / Nasubi-sama (Eggplant-sama) finally nears the release of her figure incarnation. And with a level of exposure I do not recall seeing in the artbook either… More of her and the excellent Food Girls artbook below.

Anime Industry Shoots Bones in Back

Elric Brothers - Full Metal Alchemist, a Bones produced anime

All the indications are that the leaked Bones animator list was at some point a company document after all: anime industry group “The Association of Japanese Animations”, as well as several other industry groups, have issued statements deploring the uploading of a file containing the personal details of animators and vowing to tighten handling of this sort of data to ensure no repeat.

Every company in the industry must make more strident efforts to administer employee information, they say, in what sounds like a slight to the errant Bones.

Girl Stripped and Burned in Park Torture Outrage

Girl Stripped and Burned in Park Torture Outrage

A 16-year-old girl was accosted in a park by a gang of young men and women, who proceeded to tear her clothes from her, beat her, and then sadistically torture her, burning her with a lighter; naturally they filmed the entire scene, and then uploaded the video to the Internet.

Hatsune Konata Madness

Hatsune Konata

I’m a little unsure of how to describe this interesting musical and visual meme currently spreading around NicoNico: I shall have to let the videos speak for themselves, I think. Many characters are represented, but I think the pinnacle is this Konata styled puchi Miku. On to the videos:

Girls Preside Over Classmate’s Gang Violation

Girls Preside Over Classmate’s Gang Violation

A gang of schoolgirls viciously presided over the gang violation of their female classmate (17), stripping and beating her, and then subjecting her to every form of degradation, ultimately turning her over to waiting boys in an act of infamy sure to resound far and wide.

As if to cap their lack of taste, and/or sense, the part involving the naked girl being beaten and humiliated was uploaded to the Internet.

Black Lagoon 3rd Season On

Black Lagoon 3rd Season On

Black Lagoon has had confirmation of its third season; other details are yet lacking. Not particularly surprising given the commercial success of the series, or the amount of manga available to work with, but still.

The rather laconic source (not that this report is any better).

Konata Graduates – No More Uniforms?

Lucky Star’s oft forgotten original manga version has featured an event sure to evoke complex emotions in followers of Konata and the gang; they have graduated from high school without issue.

Lucky Star’s oft forgotten original manga version has featured an event sure to evoke complex emotions in followers of Konata and the gang; they have graduated from high school without issue. You may breathe a sigh of relief to hear that the manga seems set to continue, although doubtless this brief sigh will be terminated by a gasp of realisation that this means no more sailor uniforms.

Dengeki Steals Dead Man’s Boobs

Dengeki Playstation magazine stands accused of freely helping themselves to dead mangaka 堀部秀郎 / Hiderou Horibe’s illustrations, in what seems to be flagrant plagiarism of the cover illustration of eroge magazine PC Angel

Dengeki Playstation magazine stands accused of freely helping themselves to dead mangaka 堀部秀郎 / Hiderou Horibe’s illustrations, in what seems to be flagrant plagiarism of the cover illustration of a 2004 edition of eroge magazine PC Angel (see above), as well as other instances (below); whilst Horibe may have passed away two years ago, observant eyes spotted the traces, and Dengeki and publisher Ascii Media Works refuse to apologise or even respond to the allegations.
