2ch Most “Unhealthy” Site on the Net

2ch Most “Unhealthy” Site on the Net - 絶望した！

According to the results of a recent survey, 2ch is the least healthy social site on the (Japanese) Internet. The most healthy turned out to be none other than Mixi, a site very much in the vein of MySpace or Facebook; mobile SNSモバゲー / Mobage also placed highly.

Ero Doujinshi Surprises

Ero Doujinshi Surprises - Milkie Witches

The latest crop of ero-doujinshi springs a few surprises on us, and, in particular, Strike Witches shocks by actually having the lowest proportion of ero-doujinshi of the titles sampled. Other series also prove to exhibit some unexpected turns, not least poor Kanokon…

1,000,000 Hits

Beako offers her congratulations?

Sankaku Complex has attained the next somewhat arbitrary milestone of a million hits; it seems not so long ago that we were celebrating our one hundred thousandth page view (in fact it wasn’t), and traffic continues to grow steadily in line with expectations.

The site itself is becoming larger, more sophisticated, and more usable, something which recently got a dramatic increase with the addition of the Danbooru based Sankaku Channel, sure to correct many of the deficiencies with the visual side of things, and to strengthen the community aspect of the site.

Naturally, I should at this juncture proffer my thanks to you, the users, and to the innumerable sites kind enough to link here; this I shall do in more detail below. With it being something of a major milestone, allow me to go into more detail in a number of areas, and provide some site statistics which may be of interest.

Eroge vs Light Novel Anime Adaptations

Horo seeks apple - ホロはリンゴを探している (Wolf & Spice is based on a light novel)

One of the characteristics of anime is the high propensity for titles to be converted from one medium to another; this trend has been especially notable in recent years with a flood of eroge and light novel adaptations to anime. But what of the actual numbers, and the relative comparison? Easily answered, it would seem.

“Otaku” Number One Japanese Word Overseas?

Otaku

Some interesting results from a survey emerge: the number one Japanese word understood overseas is thought by respondents to be “otaku”. “Anime” comes in at 9, “manga” at 16 and “Nintendo” at 17. See the full list (with English). See below for the vastly superior Sankaku Complex list of Japanese words with international currency.

Net Cafe Refugees in the Thousands

Net Cafe Refugees in the Thousands

The practice of using net cafes as permanent or semi-permantent residences has been on the increase in recent years, due to their cheap price, good amenities and central locations. The Japanese government has published figures suggesting that “net cafe refugees”, people who use a net cafe or manga kisa as their sole residence, now number around 5,500.

Japanese Still Godless Pagans

Japanese Still Godless Pagans - Miko with lance

According to a Yomiuri survey, 72% of Japanese profess no belief in religion of any sort. Of course, as you might expect from these kinds of statistics, things are a little more nuanced than at first they seem, though the general ambivalence of the Japanese to religion does not appear to be in doubt.

Tokyo World Hikikomori Capital?

Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

The Tokyo government has recently conducted some empirical research into the number of adult hikikomori to be found in the capital, and their findings are some of the first credible statistics regarding the “issue”, as there have been a number of baseless assertions previously. They claim over 25,000 adult hikikomori in the capital, and they seem to think this worthy of action. Details follow.
