In Interlude, I was under the impression that all of the action takes place in Japan; however, some of the signs are a bit puzzling.            Now, I’m pretty sure that these signs aren’t in Japanese. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and guess that they’re in Korean. Maybe the Japanese producers…

I was thumbing through the many images I have on my hard drive, trying to sort them, and I ran across the following image that I forgot I saved: I’d like to put this in the Tide Breakers section of my site, but MegaTokyo isn’t an anime. Oshii… Still, we can see Piro acknowledging the…

Yep, it’s getting colder, and the precipitation is paying a visit to my house. Rain comes down like drops of water from the sky coerced by the gentle pull of gravity. Falling. Falling. Falling. Everything is wet. Yeah, I babble too much. Go look at the latest tide breaker and the usual Pic of the…

I was over at Little Tokyo the other day and my throat was feeling a bit sore so I ducked into Marukai to pick up some throat drops. I came across a curious brand named “Super Menthol” – it wasn’t the name that was curious in this case, but the slogan on the bottom.  …

While some say that the quality of education has been declining lately, it’s good to see that anime characters have dedicated teachers. In the picture on the left, Reiji-sensei from Jungle wa itsumo hale nochi Guu discusses the intricacies of math with grade schoolers.     I don’t think I saw stuff like this until I…

If you can figure out why I posted the above picture, then I will acknowledge that your deductive skills are above that of a carrot. Mmmmmm… carrot cake… Apparently, a group called insani just finished working on an english translation of the Fate/stay night demo. For those of you who don’t already know, Fate/stay night…

Vince had some free time recently, so we went ahead and recorded another song/commercial for Real Otaku Heroes: Mr. Pocky Snack Inventor. It’s not much, but at least it’s a start towards a batch of new songs. Hopefully, the new Pic of the Week will make up for my lack of good ideas…

I hope that I don’t offend everyone with the following pictures, but I think it’s curious to see what they actually broadcast on television in Japan.      It isn’t too hard to believe that R.O.D. ~The TV would have Nenene flipping someone off, but it was a bit surprising to see Kippei’s sister do…

In Scrapped Princess, “Dust Bin” is the name of the world that Pacifica et. al reside. I had never really thought about it until I saw the picture below from Memomies Off 2nd. I’m surprised that I never noticed it before in anime. Apparently, there is so much dust in Japan that they need to…
