I typically concentrate on anime, but I was intrigued by the following spatulas in Love & Collage (left) and Tenjho Tenge.   While it’s typical to find my bretheren in manga about high school martial artists, I didn’t expect to see one in a series about a guy who is obsessed with women’s “parts.” While…

The following pic from Gunparade Orchestra made me wonder about the functionality of such a circuit. It’s probably nonsense, but I thought it would be cool if it actually did something… While I go look for some circuit simulation software, check out the shiny new spatula, hard to see tidebreaker, and well-maintained Pic of the…

Seeing the following picture from the Jinki:Extend DVD OAV made me wonder about the connection between American baseball and young girls piloting giant robots. Maybe the animators are simply fans of Kevin Costner, but there has to be a more subtle reason. Something deeper. I’ll probably spend many nights thinking about this, so maybe it’s…

Spatulas are everywhere… While I prepare some “tricks” for the kids in the neighborhood, keep an eye out for the…

Been super tired this last week for some reason, but not tired enough to forget about the Pic of the Week! Now, if only someone cared…

The other day I received a curious email. Here’s an excerpt from that email. Hey there! I noticed your website Kitchen Discotheque after searching for spatula anime pictures on google lol The fact that someone was looking around for spatulas in anime is scary enough, but the sender created an anime club called the SPATULA…

As usual, Renkin 3-kyuu Magical? Pokahn, has some curious scenes like the one below. For those of you rusty on your Japanese, it says “SA-TA-N-TA-SA-N” with the first “TA” crossed out. It reminds me of one of the “Church Lady” skits from Saturday Night Live. The skit was about Santa Claus, and she was wondering…
