Japanese Women: A Virgin is Fine, Too!

a-virgin-is-fine-too.jpg

Otaku are briefly rejoicing, before acknowledging the futility of it all, with the news that Japanese women are quite accepting of their male partners having no sexual experience, with even hapless virgins welcome in their beds. Some even express a predatory interest in virgin men…

The results of the survey, and the thoughts of the ladies in detail:

Xbox 360 Doomed in Japan: Outsold by PS2

rrod-box-tan.jpg

The much heralded resurgence of the Xbox 360 in Japan appears to have been as fleetingly ephemeral as the life of a mayfly; the latest sales figures show it being outsold by the lowly and supposedly obsolescent PS2, and the PS3 is outselling it by a margin of nearly 5 to 1, also beating the Wii:

happy-couple-embracing.jpg

Japanese men have been asked to identify what female behaviour gives them the false impression “I have a chance with her”, when in fact the man has no chance at all…

The results are enlightening, though perhaps not in all cases surprising; the top 10 follow:

Anime is Rare in Japan

rarity-value-konata.jpg

Japan may be host to the world’s most vibrant visual culture complex, but all areas do not share equally in this bounty. In fact, outside the likes of Tokyo and Osaka, there are vast areas of the country where anime begins and ends with Doraemon and Naruto.

2ch analyses the subject in the ranking you see below:

Dragonball Evolution PSP Total Failure

dragonball-devolution-3.jpg

As we saw before, the much loved Hollywood adaptation of funny old Chinese cartoon Dragonball, entitled Dragonball Evolution, has received a PSP game of the same name.

The game has sold an astonishing 1,200 copies on the day of its release, topping the release charts in Japan (if you reverse the order).

You can also see a gameplay video below.

It occurred to 2ch that a mere list of which seiyuu possessed the largest assets was insufficient, so efforts were made to turn it into a photographic ranking; you can see them arrayed by size in the above comparison, and an additional image of the very largest breasts on offer is visible below.

These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay.

It has been some time since we last covered sales rankings of this sort, but as the latest weekly rankings chart is quite similar to those of recent weeks, it does succinctly demonstrate what sort of releases are popular and being purchased on the streets of Japan currently.
