Hurry up, it's going to get cold desu~  Japanese people like food--Japanese people like eating with people--Japanese people like anime characters--Japanese people like to date 2D characters (since marrying is currently illegal)--it is to no surprise that all these elements would come together and fuse into one, otakuish ritual. This ritual consists of taking out your most expensive bottle of wine, your most yummy cake, and a nice plump stake, and eating it next to your 2D girlfriend who is confined to a television screen prison. This is a most important ritual in the life of any true otaku; especially during the christmas season, when eating with a girl is most sought after. I wonder why Japanese animators haven’t jumped on this phenomena, and began animating dinner conversations with girls of varying degrees of moe. Either way, enjoy this small sample,(very small sample) that was posted on 2channel of people dining with their waifus. Bon appetit reader-kun.      Is it just me, or do you think the camera flash in this pictures is one of those angry spark things anime characters get when they are  fighting over something? It's warm, it's yellow, and it rhymes with kiss.    Sorry, no hamburgers today. (too soon T_T)

Ok, so Madhouse (my fave anime production company) is again working their magic on the Marvel Anime Universe™ – this time with fan-favorite Wolverine, aka Logan. But there’s a catch: he’s been transformed from his original stubby-grumpy-clawed design into tall, luxurious-haired-clawed Bish?nen. Which I guess is where we can credit Hugh Jackman for making Wolverine [...]

In an apparent effort to help ghostlightning’s blog become the go-to place for all things Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, I’ve written a guest post for his “bit of character” series on that most contentious of summer anime characters, Mirai. Go read nao!

Greetings one and all to my blog post of Sora no Manimani episode 3 and a bit of a lackluster episode it was if I may say so myself. However just saying that doesn’t constitute as a legitimate, thought-provoking, humorous blog post so I guess I shall have to say 12345 more words. Yet again I’m [...]

I realised I hardly post any preorders for Character Goods. They get too little attention eh. I don't know whether any of you readers actually purchase character goods on a regular basis, like your figurines =D. As such I will be blogging more on upcoming character goods! [Picture may be NSFW]

If Shidou Mariya from “Maria†Holic” isn’t your character of choice to acquire a hugging pillow of, then perhaps this dakimakura by Movic featuring the lovely C.C. From “Code Geass” may be more to your liking? One side features C.C. in a partially undone school uniform looking more innocent than ever, while the other gifts us a [...]

The English translation is available here. The only name I recognise is Chiwa Saitou!!? Surely that name rings a bell!! She is [...]

Winter Sonata? How could I not become immediately magically enticed by a name like that without any further knowledge of the phenomenon… Ooooooi~! Hai, it’s sugooooooi! Ano… sorry for that; I am a fangirl fanboy at heart, after all. Now, here’s the highlight of your otaku Summer: the chart for the upcoming anime season! So… here it is: Click the image above for the season chart in it’s full entirety. After a quick look on the chart I can safely say that I will watch: To Aru Kagaku no Choudenjibou, or “A Certain ...

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of the canon Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki franchise. As such, I get lots of questions about things Tenchi to include asking about the possibility of FUNimation or other company bringing back the Geneon USA-licensed titles such as the canon Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA's (OVA 1, Night Before Carnival, OVA 2, which Pioneer/Geneon USA called "Tenchi Muyo!"), the Tenchi

About the title, XN(ザン) is pronounced as “Zan” and [...]

One of my greatest regrets for this Tokyo trip was not getting this avante-garde goth-loli yukata for my beautiful wife. Having seen the actual outfit at the basement floor of Laforet (Harajuku), Wife-chan and I were immediately floored by seamless fusion of Japanese tradition with goth-lolita elements. I hate myself soo much for not insisting [...]
