Hip Parade Plus Lovely Waitress The Hip Parade line of "trading torsos" is an incredible concept that could only come from Japan: extremely sexy and detailed lower torsos from females wearing skimpy underwear.

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:56:03 -0000 http://www.peterpayne.net/2008/11/cool-items-friday-november-21-2008.html There was a noticeable number of people to visit Ani-nouto searching for “Sekirei DVD” recently. They were coming for a one-sentence post which referred elsewhere, to “Something of Blue Comet #3″ (deshou?). That blog runs script which creates a link dashboard: Sekirei’s power must be amazing if it can lift Ani-nouto where it does not belong. Notice [...] Sun, 26 Oct 2008 06:47:53 -0000 http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/10/25/sekirei-and-the-breast-power/ According to a post somewhere [NSFW] (via), they removed the pretty censoring strips and Nico-nico styled comments. Honestly, I’m very disappointed. Dropping the steam and foreground objects is a time honored tradition, but this? Copyright © 2008 Pete Zaitcev ( (72.47.234.97) ) Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:33:10 -0000 http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/10/22/sekirei-dvd-vs-tv/ Fans hailing the uncensored DVD release of oppai anime Sekirei have had a rude awakening from their nipple induced ecstasy; any number of scenes are marred, it seems, by trivial animation errors, easily spotted by vigilant 2channers. The most egregious error involves an airborne nipple seemingly dislodged by the vigorousness of the oppai motion, but many [...] Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:10:20 -0000 http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/10/22/sekirei-dvd-fail-%E2%80%93-floating-nipples-animation-errors-abound/ The first volume of the Sekirei DVD edition has, as expected, been relieved of the scourge of unexplained glare, figure hugging steam and mysterious foreground objects, which has resulted in some truly brazen nipple exposure, as illustrated by the screens below. Via Earl Box. Some of these episodes have been broadcast uncensored on some stations, but the [...] Wed, 22 Oct 2008 05:01:02 -0000 http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/10/22/sekirei-dvd-nipple-packed-uncensored/ I will not pretend prescience and claim that I expected a round-up at Aloe Dreams to free me from the need to do the dirty work… it just happened that way. Actually, I’m serious. I’ve not done early round-ups in many months, and only do final round-ups for series I like at least somewhat (e.g. Sekirei). [...] Sun, 05 Oct 2008 03:50:43 -0000 http://ani-nouto.animeblogger.net/2008/10/04/ryans-toradora-roundup/ Although this series could easily be described as just an ecchi show with no real point, as indeed the ecchiness is rather large, I still found this to be one of my favorite shows of this season. Not really in a big quality way, as it wasn’t something grand and unique with a lot of [...] Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:00:44 -0000 http://xebek.animeblogger.net/2008/10/04/sekirei-final-impressions/ Wha!? WHERE ARE MY INTERNETS!!! …”In related news, online users in North America are reporting this month that they have received notices from their Internet service providers for allegedly sharing the anime Sekirei on BitTorrent. The notices are reportedly being spurred by letters sent by the copyright tracking firm BayTSP on behalf of a different Japanese [...] Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:31:51 -0000 http://53rg10.wordpress.com/2008/10/01/aniplexs-crackdown-affected-me-too/ End of season one…duh is so obvious there’s gonna be a sequel..cute = sexy in Japan Hello people…its been like ages since wrote a blog here on yukan(no its not really blissmo’s fault),I think I was more pre-occupied with my real life than the “I’ll kill you if you don’t comply order from blissmo”.Anyways,I decided that since alot of the anime that I’ve been following up until now have ended and are going to sink into oblivion in a few years,I should say something about them.
