The below chart is taken from a TV program which conducted a survey of commoner females, in order to discover which types of otaku paraphernalia they found most objectionable when visiting a man’s room; as you can see, any figure fans seem set to enjoy a lifetime of celibacy…

Anican (a free anime and tokusatsu centric newspaper) has published the results of its extensive 2008 Reader’s poll awards.

The number of categories included is somewhat overwhelming, but obviously Macross F pulled out an excellent showing by receiving the #1 spots in both the Anime / Tokusatsu and the Overall Grand Award categories.

orihime_inoue_award.jpg

Shogakukan, the mega-publishing house behind many famous manga magazines such as Shounen Sunday (and incidentally also an owner of North American anime/manga company Viz Media), announced the results for their 54th Annual Manga Awards earlier this week.

The winners of this year’s awards are all likely unknown to most international fans, but in past years the Shogakukan awards have been bestowed to popular series such as Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Inu-Yasha and Detective Conan.

Minami-ke Okaeri OP & ED Debut on Oricon Top 10

minamike_okaeri_ed_zettai_karafuru_sengen.jpg

The Minami-ke Okaeri OP and ED songs, Keikenchi Soku Joujou  and Zettai Karafuru Sengen debuted today, placing 8# and 10# respectively on the Oricon Daily Music charts.

The appearance of anison (anime songs) on the music charts is not that uncommon, but as both singles are sung by the Minami trio‘s seiyuu and previously only heard on the three episodes broadcast so far, it follows that the CD’s popularity is made up nearly entirely by fans of the show.

You can hear both songs below:

    They're catchy and much better than Okawari's, but they're basically copy-pasted from the S1 themes (and not just the "experience" and "color" leitmotifs). Still, I like Zettai Colorful Sengen better than Colorful Days.... More

2008_bd_sales_ranking_macross_f_01.jpg

Sales numbers for BD anime releases in 2008 have finally become available, and are presented here. The figures reveal a strikingly good performance for anime featuring large robots.

Unlike DVD sales, BD sales numbers remain difficult to ascertain in Japan, so the sales ranking is informative as to what releases are dominating sales on the next video format of the future…

Nintendo Conquers Christmas

made-in-wario-ashley-by-kei.jpg

Nintendo’s performance in the all important US market during Christmas 2008 has cemented the company’s supremacy and likely ensured its future as the major player for some time, though gamers are unlikely to be too inspired by either it or the other successes of the season.

The Wii managed Yuletide sales more than double that of the Xbox 360, leaving little room for runner up S**y.

Bath Towel Nagato Nearly Tops 2008 Famitsu (+Nude Filter)

bath-towel-nagato.jpg

The image you see above came close (third in fact) to topping gaming rag Famitsu’s most popular articles for 2008, being beaten out only by a story on the PSP-3000 and one on SF IV, proving beyond doubt, as if there were any, that Nagato Yuki is vastly more appealing than all but the PSP and Chun Li’s thighs.

Perhaps unsatisfied by this, an unknown Photoshop Master provides a remastered version in higher quality below, but in a mistake worthy of a fail gallery forgets to include the actual bath towel! Almost as bad as Tony…

toheart2-ndsjsdk-585134d64afe240d034ac35b68.jpg

Several large stores have recently released rankings of their best-selling galge/eroge/visual novels for 2008, allowing to see which of the last year’s crop attained the most favor from eroge fans.

Little distinction is made between the various types of bishoujo type games, such as pure visual novels or hardcore eroge, but the results are still interesting to look at:

Ero-Doujinshi vs Doujinshi: 2008 Ranking

read-or-die-3f7bb915a08486680f881f9eea2216e05ce543a2.jpg

The scope of doujinshi, or unofficial fan-works of existing anime, manga or game series is gigantic, generating over ¥55 Billion (over $600 Million USD) in 2007 alone.

Most otaku know one of the main reasons for the huge proliferation of doujinshi is the fan-artist’s freedom (or sometimes even the original artists) to insert the series’ characters into erotic situations that would be unthinkable in the original work.

Below is shown exactly how much of the total amount of doujinshi for different series sold at one major retailer is of the ero-kind, as opposed to the tamer brand of non-H doujinshi:
