Japanimation
I’m in a love-hate mode. I’m in a pirating mode. I’m in a take it for me mode. I just need to watch some anime. And to watch some of the ones I want, I have to turn to finding fansubs. You’ll usually find them on the underground.
Now I’m not saying do it, but you got to do what you got to do.
Get me some anime!
Oboete imasu ka me to me ga atta toki wo
Oboete imasu ka te to te ga fureatta toki
Sore wa hajimete no ai no tabidachi deshita
I LOVE YOU SO
( Do you remember? The time when our eyes first met?
Do you remember? The time when our hands first touched?
That was the very first time I set out on the journey of love.
I love you so. )
Lynn Minmei, “Ai Oboete Imasu Ka (Do you remember love)”

Instead of watching the VP debates because of being afraid for what Sarah Palin might say, I decided to watch Hyakko in raw japanese. I don’t understand a word they say much like when listening to Sarah Palin. At least my blood isn’t boiling.
I could only find the raw version but I am hopeful that a subbed version would come along. I wonder what’s going on.

The new TV season is just starting. Torador looks interesting. It’s another love romantic comedy set in high school. I doubt we’ll find another Macross Frontier this season.

So I have a few anime figures, the latest being Tabitha from Zero No Tsukaima. Don’ ask me what the hell that anime is, all I know is that I really dug the figure. I would do the cool thing and take some pictures, but I just don’t have the camera for it. You have seen my figures on my flickr account? Some of those photos aren’t so great, and the layouts are very dull. I would love to show them off in a better way.
So head on over to Happy Soda and read his figure reviews. They are very interesting, because each review has an intro story that seems to capture the mood of the figure. Then he photographs them awesomely. Someone get me my camera!

To make you less confused about yesterday’s post, here’s the main article upon which yesterday’s article was a side not to.

Is liking anime sexy girl figurines a strange sexual fetish? Or does this article not get the otaku culture from which the figure collecting hobby arises from?
I get the feeling that the author is attempting to assume a provocative stance on the strangeness of a foreign culture being brought to our shores by the manga and anime industry in order to criticize it. He wants to point out how ugly it can be or how very strange the fetishism found in the otaku culture is. While he does make a point on how slack the censorship is in the Japanese culture, he makes it sound very prurient which I don’t think it is.
I don’t know. At times, it is strange, and at times, it is rather sexy. Yet, pornographic it is not. Unless you look at all the hentai manga and anime.
Penguin Musume Heart was what I joined Nico Nico Douga for. If you can read Japanese, please translate their homepage for me.
Opening to Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. No idea what the hell that means. That’s not true. Beck is name of the lead guitarist’s dog. The other half of that phrase, mongolian chop squad, no idea. Perhaps it doesn’t translate well into english? Or is it one of those cute Japanese buggering of the english language?
The show starts really slowly. It’s about the second disk before he even gets into the band.
