One can find many uses for a good manga, even one as dull as… well, enjoy reading it. But commercial minds are at work everywere, so it’s no wonder that, sooner or later, we get stuff like FOOD TOIPE out on the market. This, my loli friends, is a brand-new new brand of toilet paper. And not any kind of toilet paper, mind you, but a smooth and reliable one, with guaranteed, comfortable ass-whipping success, combined with four-frame manga illustrations by none other than Yaku Mitsuru. Released on March 2nd by Hayashi Paper (for a mere 200 Yen a roll), this piece of goodness can be found at a toilet near you, allowing you to enjoy a good dump and a good reading, in the oh-so-delightful privacy of a manga-filled restroom.


Be sure to read first, wipe after. It’s easier this way.

The new Paprika trailer released by Sony Pictures has got to be this week’s most impressive (though ironically non-lolicious) trailer, revealing even more mind-bending scenes from Satoshi Kon’s latest animated movie. That would be the same guy that brought us Pefect Blue and Paranoia Agent, so… yeah, better have some joints and/or plenty of booze at hand while watching this. The premiere is set for May 25, by the way.

Last night, Choco-chan came to my place while I was half asleep, carrying a box full of little girl’s underwear in one hand, and pictures with her naked in the other. She asked me to be her friend, and promised me that she will be obedient, will do whatever I command her to do, will call me onii-chan and will perform oral sex to me countless times, daily. Then, sadly, I woke up.
Now, with this dream in mind, I find the results of Ranking Japan’s survey pretty awkward. The guys there conducted a poll on a group of 200 manly users (with age varying from 20 to 30), about the one anime character that they would like to have as their friend. Strangely enough, their choices are as follows:

1: Doraemon (Doraemon)
2: Lupin (Lupin the 3rd)
3: Conan (Meitantei Conan/Case Closed)
4: Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro)
5: Son Goku (Dragon Ball)
6: Asakura Minami (Touch)
7: Sergeant Keroro (Sergeant Keroro/Sergeant Frog)
8: Lum (Urusei Yatsura)
9: Ayanami Rei (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
10: Ryou-san (Kochira Katsushika-ku Kamearikouen-mae Hashutsujo/This is the Police Station in Front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward)

Wanting a spooky robotic cat as your best friend, over any anime lolita troubles me, as I start questioning the Japanese people’s sexual orientation.

After previously delaying it’s launch, Geneon stated recently that their Hellsing Ultimate and Hellsing Ultimate Limited Edition (volume 2) will actually see the light of the day (and probably the yucky inside of a PC near you) somewere around June 12th. This year. However, according to ANN, this is only an “early solicitation date”, not the official release plans – and due to this, it may change as quickly as Geneon can change their panties. Eh, well, at least fans know now when this baby is coming out. At least, in theory.

Coming from the universe of Suzumiya Haruhi – The Madness Within, is yet another piece of fascinating news. Japanese actress Sawai Maho who, incidentally, owns a blog that is plundered with no remorse by her avid fans, mentioned on February 23rd something about a possible live action drama adaptation, that will begin filming next week. The said damsel is to play the role of Ryoko Asakura, the bitch-like humanoid interface that tries to stab Kyon with a knife, after he manly refuses to rape her pretty ass in the classroom. Rumors started late last year about a 6 episode TV drama that was supposed to start airing this summer, but they were quickly retracted and stamped as pure speculation. Of course, the official word on this is yet to confirm, nor deny it, so I wonder just how many faps per day are the Suzumiya fanboys doing, thinking about this movie.

Last year we mentioned about a certain Clannad lovu-lovu game being animated into a feature length movie, by Toei Animation. That much is still true, but ANN has a few more lolicious details about it. Nevermind that the movie will premiere in Japan this summer - what really caught my eye is the following bit:

“The original game was released under the “Key” brand, who also developed the popular dating sims Kanon and Air. Dezaki Osamu will direct the film. Character designs will be done by Kadonosono Megumi, who also worked on the series Kiddy Grade.“

Kiddy Grade, you don’t say… As in, that same Kiddy Grade that’s getting a sequel? Well, don’t mind if I drool right about now. Especially considering that the Clannad game was released under the same brand as Air and Kanon, and Toei’s team of animators recently delighted us with the oh-so-moe slice-of-life anime Binbou Shimai Monogatari. What more could you ask for? How about a pink umbrella?

We all know trojans are fun and entertaining – at least from their creator’s point of view. These dudes often find mindblowing ways to express their emotions – and thus, the trojan’s message – like a pink bunny rabbit bouncing around your screen, screaming from the top of his lungs “Die Terrorists Die”. This time, the Japanese P2P apps and file sharing networks got themselves a new challenge, in the likes of Trojan.Pirlames, a small little virus that violently infests stuff like Winny or Share. Undercovered as a cute and harmless screensaver, the trojan usually displays, upon execution, a screenshot from Kanon, with an evil text message: “Even though Mr Kaneko was found guilty, you are still using Winny. I really hate these kinds of people“. Mr. Kaneko is the creator of Winny, it seems, and someone is really pissed of file sharing networks. Thank God this stuff doesn’t use naked Hazuki-chan images, I’d probably open multitasking sessions of it.

Blue Dragon was very well received by the X360 fanboys all over Japan. In fact, it’s a game that deserves all our appreciation – and, what you know, it’s not going to be released in Europe. Yet. Eh well, if we still want a taste of what it (almost) feel like, we still have the upcoming anime – anime that will begin airing somewere on 7th April, with a preview trailer smashing lolis around the world on 1st March. In the meantime, here is the first image from the series: it looks cute and it has three little girls in it. I DEMAND FOUR! NAKED!
