- Supercell limited edition preorders 630y off on amazon!
- Screw the Haruhi s2 rabble, Haruhi-chan/Churuya-san character sketches up!
- Seiyuu covering punk standards! Momoi covering The Exploited! Denpa-kei is Otaku Punk, believe it!!!
- Toru Uchimizu has some great comments in Jump as his manga gets cancelled:
(Other author): Uchimizu-san, what was Silver Leoleus’s weak element again? (monster hunter lol) I can’t beat him, help me out!
(Uchimizu, 6 afterwords’s down): You need to smash him with a hammer until he faints and beat his wings down! …wait, is this my last commen-At least he has a sense of humor about these things!
- Kariya Tetsu, The author of Oishinbo, a 20-year resident of Australia, harshly criticizes Sea Shepherd and the Australian government, first calling for the SDF to step in, then later retracting his harsher statements but still holds that Sea Shepherd is a terrorist group and should not be excused, nor should the government of Australia be excused. I never knew he wrote “the leftist Gomanism,” (è™è ã‚’æ’ƒã¦!) kind of changes my view on what I was suspecting to be some pretty obnoxious nationalism in Oishinbo vol 1. big ups.
A bunch of Japan bloggers also started writing about Comic LO, but I guess I won’t talk about that much here since I don’t want to get arrested or anything. Actually, at the very least, I’ll mention that they apparently managed to cut down P2P piracy by Appealing to the good nature of its buyers, asking them kindly in the afterword to cut it out. Treating your customers like normal people, what a bizarre way to do business. (Perhaps they should change their slogan to Yes! Lolita No! Download ww) Also, I’ll probably make a post in the near future about at least a few of the many things I’ve been buying and not reading in the past few weeks, once I get some of this homework out of the way. Spoilers: Gelatin wasn’t as good as I had hoped :(
