I wish this site gave notifications for replies, because you’ll never see this. YES. All the Ranma 1/2 music and FMA. I listened to almost all the Slayers music in the 90s and pretty much memorized the lyrics […]

Yeah, it’s a fun manga – I’ve imported and read the first 4 books. Funny that while both authors seem to love doing porn, at best this one gets a bit suggestive or puts girls in various costumes. I don’t think […]

Unrelated, really. The taller girl is a full-body cyborg because of a childhood disease she had, which is rare because it’s really hard for people to get used to cyber parts. The shorter girl is an illegal combat […]

Far from it. Not as deep, but more fun. It’s more like a young people’s 万能文化猫娘 (Nuku Nuku) – cute android girls fighting giant war machines on flimsy pretense.

I think there are simply creams for it, whether they do much. It’s a point of self consciousness for women in Japan/Asia, as they tend to darken with age.

Aoi Yamada from “Working!!”?

I remember when that much might get you a figure in pieces, unpainted. That fishnet detail is incredible.

Obviously? No… A lot of what they host would be illegal or subject to fines on complaint in Japan. The domain name and CDN (and with it, the errors when it can’t be reached) are through CloudFlare, a San Francisco company.

It’s not that bad, apparently. ZUN describes it as a “peace-addled world” (平和ボケした世界) and both people-eating and youkai-exterminating appear to be sayings, as none of his works(?) contain reference to actual cases […]

Touhou? Anyone? C’mon.

Don’t know who they asked though – maybe just people who know games from TV and magazine ads? And have never been somewhere moderately geek friendly, plastered with Touhou stuff…

Good list.

Some write-ins, because that’s always fun…
Macross 7 (don’t watch this show)

It is. Sadly, it costs a ton to make anime, which is why we see so much unoriginal trash – making a big investment like that, they need to be sure it makes a profit. Original stuff is risky.

The West is more of a […]

They’re “tsumifukuro”. Think they’re from Touhou memes. I’ve only seen them in jokes.

So they went from cute 3D to “realistic” 3D with smaller eyes and bigger noses… and now it’s bigger eyes and cel shading? Team Ninja really has no direction without Itagaki. They’re just throwing stuff out there […]

I don’t expect they mean titles they published but didn’t develop – but it would be great to see updates of games like Bushido Blade or Tobal 2.

Summer 2015. MM is over for now.

I’ve been into anime for long enough to realize an important thing: Most of the shows that really deserve to have a sequel, should never get one.

That’s right. What makes you think the sequel will be just as […]

There’s good stuff in any era. Higurashi, lots of SHAFT stuff, even weird fanservice shows like Monster Musume, as long as they’re original.

But yeah, most of this is obscure to me too and I watch a fair bit of […]

Searched おじモン on Canadian Apple store… found. Confirmed it’s available outside Japan.

Do you know the eyeglass market in Japan? (I don’t…) It could just be that they’re not under the thumb of the Luxottica price fixing cartel over there. I order prescription eyeglasses from the USA (via China I […]
