Lady Teacher’s Student Love Triangle Ends in Murder

A lady teacher (45) engaged in a steamy tryst with not just one, but two of her male pupils, and so taken with her was one that he stabbed the other to death, we hear.

Hong Kong Otaku Research

Hong Kong Otaku Research, by Jabro

Jabro did an interesting spot of research in a recent visit to Hong Kong, being sure to check out the numerous centres of otaku culture there, as well as plenty of more general sights. It does not look as if anyone with an interest in such things will have any difficulty finding what they are after in Hong Kong, not that this can be said to be surprising in the least.

Missile Battery Welcomes Olympic Visitors

China has laid on an impressive welcoming committee for visitors, in the form of a battery of HQ-7 SAMs commanding a view of the Olympic facilities

Perhaps fearful of a sneak attack by quiescent militarist neighbour Japan, China has laid on an impressive welcoming committee for visitors, in the form of a battery of HQ-7 SAMs commanding a view of the Olympic facilities. Japanese Zeros will doubtless fear to attack considering the high kill probability of this knock off of a superior French design. Their appears to be some fear of aircraft terrorism influencing the deployment.

Via Nishi Nippon.

Cockroach Cuisine

Cockroach Cuisine

Upset over finding a cockroach in his meal, on complaining the restaurant patron was generously offered the meal at half price, we hear. This was not to the patron’s liking; instead he demanded the bill be waived, or the restaurant prove there was no danger to his health from eating cockroaches by eating a roach themselves.

The staff member dealing with the irate customer saw no alternative but to rescue the establishment from the loss of a half price meal, and so ate the roach. The poor cockroach eater was reduced to tears and had to be escorted home. Via here.

This being Guangdong, they might have done better to advertise it as a new specialty…

A baby boy born with an extra penis on his back has had it amputated in a successful operation in Hebei, China. His parents, a farming family, apparently did not notice at first, but soon took him to hospital on realising his extra endowment. See the infant and his extra member in complete detail here.

The King of Street

The King of Street (街頭拳皇)

Another fine example of Chinese originality and quality game design; The King of Street (街頭拳皇) nevertheless seems strangely reminiscent of certain other games.

Chinese Dojinshi

Chinese Dojinshi

The otaku scene in China seems to be developing well, and, notably, is gradually abandoning the shameless commercial piracy which unfortunately has come to associated with China. Here we have some fine examples of Chinese made dojinshi (see below for images and translation), which exhibit some evident talent and are not just mere knockoffs.

Perhaps as a natural consequence of steady Chinese development, the otaku scene there appears to be thriving, and not just in an atmosphere of disregard for intellectual property; I am reminded of my earlier article on the figure and otaku scene in China, where we hear that otaku are not subject to opprobrium there, even as they are in Japan, and that they are capable of rejecting commercial piracy.

Wii, Vii, now MiWi

Eittek’s MiWi, an attempt to improve on the Wii and the Vii

The superiority of Chinese engineering and their unique appreciation of intellectual property evidently know no bounds; first came the Wii, then the Chintendo Vii, and now a new successor emerges in the form of Eittek’s originally named MiWi.

This fine product continues in the same vein as the Vii, bringing you advanced cartridge based 16bit gaming reminiscent of the Wii at a vastly reduced price point. The erstwhile wireless controllers and sports games clearly aim to compete with Nintendo’s offering. As seems to be usual with these products, in game shots seem to be sadly lacking…

More pictures are mirrored below. Brought to my attention by GameSpark, with English info here and Chinese info here.

Chintendo Vii Hands On

Chintendo Vii, image by Inside

You may be familiar with the Chintendo Vii, a console “resembling” the Nintendo Wii which makes use of superior Chinese engineering and intellectual property, and this outstanding product has recently hit the shores of Japan. Actual hands on play details had been lacking until now, but over at Inside a fine and much anticpated look at both the hardware and now the software is now up; see here and here for the hardware, and here for the all important software. Nintendo may have some serious competition on their hands. You will also be delighted to know that foraying to some suspicious backstreet Akiba shop to get yours is unnecessary; even Amazon are stocking it!

Otaku in China – No Fake Figures?

Alter

There is a very interesting and detailed article on the figure and otaku scene in China (specifically Shanghai), as well as how Japanese companies operate there, over at Nikkei (onerous registration required to read it all), brought to my attention via foo-bar-baz. The interview with Alter’s China office is especially interesting. Surprisingly, it is not a market completely awash with fakes, and seems to be growing healthily. I provide a summary translation below for your information and enjoyment.
