| 12:21am | wwwwwwwwtf: japanese senior citizen porn |  | | | Actually, I don’t know what is more WTF-worthy: that this exists, or that I read about this not in Mainichi Daily News WaiWai, but in Time. Also, is the picture in the articleNSFW? It looks like they might be naked on the bottom left, but I can’t tell. And to be clear, this isn’t... |
| 10:42pm | what i was forced to watch this week #29: kodocha | | | | Man, another big one down. First Nuhroodo, then Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and now 102 episodes of Kodocha. Well, not exactly 102 episodes. You see, Kodocha starts off pretty well, but the second half of the show turns into filler hell. This made it very easy to skip episodes. I’m not... | | |
| 11:02pm | an OEL manga by someone other than tokyopop: the us navy | | | | According to How the World Works, the reason behind this manga is because the USS George Washington is going to be the first nuclear-powered warship to enter Japan, and until now Japan hadn’t allowed any nuclear-powered ships in its harbors. The manga is pretty otaku-y (and by otaku-y I mean... |
| 10:51pm | operation borders: SUCCESS | | | | As I set out to do yesterday, I went to the Penn Station Borders during lunch to look for Futari Ecchi. The sexuality/erotica section there was a huge mess and was totally disorganized. For all I know, it could’ve been there, but I didn’t have enough time to sift through all of those out... |
| 1:35pm | oh MAN, how did i miss this? | | | | I was checking Wikipedia just now to confirm that the Del Rey release of the Air Gear manga wasn’t censored. It didn’t say that it was, and since the Internet loves to make big stinks about stuff like that, this is confirmation enough for me that it isn’t. Anyway, what randomly caught... | | |
| 3:04am | did tokyopop actually misfire with futari ecchi? | | | | HAR HAR GEDDIT! MISFIRE AND FUTARI ECCHI HAR HAR I’M SO FUNNAY HARRRRRRRRRRR! Ahem. While reading Scott’s post about Tokyopop’s cutbacks, I saw the part about how they should’ve given Futari Ecchi a wide release rather than consigning it to the Internet and sex shops. I was... |
| 1:30pm | macross f shows us how anime isn’t as popular as you think | | | | As you’ve probably heard by now, the Macross F soundtrack made it into the top 3 in album sales on the Oricon charts last week. Seeing how good that soundtrack is, the relative popularity of Macross, and the sales of singles from that show, that’s not much of a surprise. What did come... |
| 12:02am | what i was forced to watch this week #28: kamikaze kaitou jeanne | | | | i bet that this exact shot is why hinano archived this show, despite the show being total crap I was warned against watching Kamikaze Vocaloid Kaitou Jeanne, but I just wanted to get rid of it because this was on actual VHS tapes and therefore took up much more space than a stack of CDs or some folders... |
| 7:15pm | old and busted: yaoi paddles. new hotness…sex and the city paddles? | | | | So before, I’d always thought that that whole retarded yaoi paddle thing was because you had too many unsupervised teenagers. Than got blown up when I read this: I wish you’d been there with me when the salesguy informed the crowd that the wooden paint-stirrers repurposed as spankers (”Spank... |
| 12:12am | another reminder that yaoi does not equal gay porn | | | | At EYE WEEKLY: (link is NSFW) EYE: So is there manga porn for gay men, as opposed to straight women? When I was in Japan, I found these comics called baru, which is bear porn. Right away you can see the difference in the look of the characters (see picture, right). The baru culture is huge in the gay... |
| 1:43pm | and now an actual comparison of the nodame cantabile manga | | | | After writing my post on sound in Nodame Cantabile, I managed to find the scans of the Rachmaninov concert. My guess was basically correct, but with a few important manga-specific points that I had missed since I wasn’t actually reading the manga. Here’s the series of pages for the first... | | |
| 2:21pm | an unfounded conclusion on sound in nodame cantabile | | | | I’m going to make a statement that I can’t really back up: the anime of Nodame Cantabile is much better than the manga. The reason that I can’t back this up is because I haven’t read a page of the manga. I do know that the manga is a critical and popular success, but the manga... | | |
| 9:13pm | the ipod as prosthesis | | | | It’s time again for another entry of “copy and paste a paper and call it a blog post”, but this time I’m not doing it as a joke. bateszi said: Don’t you find it difficult to “get into” an episode of anime by watching it in public? I don’t think I could ever focus enough... | | |
| 2:33pm | in response to the massive backlog clearing question | | | | (I was starting to write this as a comment, but it started to balloon to the point where it was practically becoming an entire post.) pack said: If you don’t mind, can you take a minute to discuss how you are watching 30 episodes of anime a week? Is this during your commute? Do you marathon 20 episodes... | | |
| 10:36pm | what i was forced to watch this week #27: mamotte shugogetten | | | | I picked out Mamotte Shugogetten to watch this time. I picked it out because we saw an awesome vocaloid version of the OP on Nico Nico one time. Unfortunately that was the only good thing about this show. It was yet another one of those oh-so-KER-RAZY (read: unfunny and with grating characters)... |
