A teaser video has been revealed for the upcoming English release of the 3rd Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie – “Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Rebellion” – and as usual with English dubs it looks to be garnering both blind acclaim and vitriol in unequal amounts.

    I'm fine with the voices. They are supposed to sound natural, not like the caricatures like in anime. They aren't distracting and get the point across. Granted, I do think sometimes voices are perfectly... More

Idolmaster World Service

The Ancient Religion of the Idolmaster enjoys worldwide adherence

Non-Japanese speaking Idolmaster fans may be interested to see this English language (or at least Engrish) Idolmaster site “The Idolmaster MAD World Service”, billing itself as “The Gentleman’s Guide to the Idolmaster”. They serve up regular introductions to the latest MADs doing the rounds on NicoNico Douga, and have plenty of supplementary information and guides, which should be decipherable.

Probably most notably, and usefully (not to mention vexingly, for those of us with incompatible hosts), they have embedded Nico videos, so you can enjoy the latest without having to visit Nico itself, or make an account.

Cosplay Makes it into the Dictionary

Cosplay Elite Gallery - コスプレエリートギャラリー 長門/Nagato

It seems the influence of Japanese culture continues to make inroads; we hear that the Concise Oxford English Dictionary has in its latest revision added the word “cosplay” to its pages, defining it uncontroversially as dressing up as Japanese anime and manga characters, etc.

As Jabro points out, this does leave open the question of whether the definition includes non-Japanese cosplay, but the “etc” would seem to cover that. This is reported in the pages of a recent edition of the Nikkei Shimbun.

Finally, the obligatory link to the Cosplay Elite Gallery.

Swear like a Marine – for Japanese

Osama bin Konata

Spotted on Akibablog – more shots of the drill quality English you could be learning therein, along with an interview with the Marine involved who warns that using some of that language could get you killed. The text above says “Paki☆Stan?”. Very droll. The exemplar of the “dress up woeful English textbooks with anime characters so it becomes less excruciatingly tedious for unmotivated learners” genre is of course Moetan, who now has abandoned all pretense of helping people improve their English, not that those books were not famously bad.
