Japan has created an unusual government post to promote animation, and named a perfect figure Wednesday to the position: a popular cartoon robot cat named Doraemon.
So I guess there’s a new anime ambassador. I’m a little skeptical since Doraemon has no ears, but then again Hello Kitty has no mouth. Also, isn’t Doraemon [...]
I saw a little discussion on the AB.net IRC and also got an email about The Anime Blog Awards. Nominations just started, so if you own an anime blog you can register on the site and nominate a few blogs (not your own). There are quite a few categories, and the top 7 [...]
I got an email asking me to promote Tokyopop’s mashup contest where you can take some music and some manga material to make your own Youtube mashup.
This sounds like a good chance for you creative people to get your name out and also possibly win some prizes. First prize is an iPod nano with [...]
I always appreciate being contacted to help promote anime events, especially when there are prizes available. First things first, leave a comment telling us “How many arms should an ideal mech have and why?” so that I can randomly select a winner to receive a free DVD copy of Appleseed Ex Machina. As [...]
I just watched Mnemosyne episode 2, and I felt like I was watching a confusing animated H-doujinshi starring Hollow Ichigo. WTF?!
If you eat part of Rin and she recovers, do you feel full afterwards? Or is it empty calories? I was so confused… All I understood was that Hollow Ichigo cannibal [...]
This isn’t of too much interest to most people, but I’ve got updates about what is going on at 9rules, haha!
Perhaps some of you remember the dorama that cropped up when 9rules stuck in a new clause in their member agreement requiring all members to participate on the Notes. Well, it seems like the [...]
Even though 2.4 was skipped, it still feels like these updates keep on coming. While the information regarding the many big changes is scant, most sources indicate that the changes will mostly affect under-the-hood stuff (caching, security, performance) and a facelift for the user interface. I read that you can now test out [...]
Ah, Valentine’s Day… the ultimate lose-lose holiday. If you have someone, be prepared to pay for your love, and if you are single, be prepared to have that fact shoved in your face for weeks on end. As the old saying goes, misery loves company.
Okay, so I just had to ask this: Did ANYONE “get” the tagline this week? Kabitzin’s tags are sometimes easy pickings and sometimes rather obscure, but this one had me stumped. When I finally found out the answer, I immediately rolled my eyes and prophesized that no one would ever make that [...]
Yeah, pics so it did happen:
Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder remarks.
But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who allegedly told the self-styled Goth and [...]
For only $15 an appendage, you can have your own set of tentacle arms. Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
1 size fits all…
Siscon happens.
A pair of twins who were adopted by separate families as babies got married without knowing they were brother and sister, a peer told the House of Lords.
Onii-chan no baka!
The peer - who was told of the case by a High Court judge involved - said the twins felt an “inevitable attraction”.
He [...]
