There is no way my post title is so long. Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, or OreImo as it is commonly abbreviated, is an interesting twist of the quintessential tsundere anime genre popularized by titles such as Shakugan no Shana and Zero no Tsukaima. And beyond that, it, like Genshiken, [...]
According to an annual research by research agency Media Create titled “The 2008 White Paper on the Otaku Industry”, the total combined size of game, anime and related goods sales amount to 186.8 billion yen (about 1.65 billion USD) for the year of 2007. This is a slight 2% increase over last year’s 182.1 billion [...]
For some inexplicable reason, plamo maker Aoshima is releasing a series of itasha scaled models. I really don’t understand the logic behind this. This meta-merchandising is about as relevant as writing a blog about people blogging. But I guess some people do that too. Picture stolen from Hobby Blog (possible stolen from elsewhere) I can [...]
I have been featured as the 42th (ooo, lucky number!) “Overseas Otaku” in the April issue of Windows 100%, a Japanese IT magazine that also features otaku and internet pop culture related articles.

I have a problem. I am running on a tight budget this month (hint: Haruhi DVDs) and Japan decided to help me with this problem by releasing all sorts of wonderful things that I would die to get my hands on. For fuck’s sake Japan! A guy can only die once, you know. Sad to [...]
Comiket 70 day one has ended just a few hours ago. Since Shingo from HD has yet to post his report, here’s a little something for those of you out there with nothing else better to do than to wait (like me)… It’s a bunch of screencaps taken from a TV program covering the 70th [...]
