See for yourself, it's a kind of a newsflash! Japanese people love anime and manga just as much as they love their little sisters. And their neighbor's sisters. And the Japanese box office charts are here to prove it, as half of the films in this top ten were, last week, somehow related to the anime/manga phenomenon. The newly released Doraemon film, Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure Into the Underwearworld, ranked first, closely (and shamelessly) followed by the live action film, Battery (some adaptation after a baseball manga by Atsuko Asano). The eight piece of crap of One Piece was in the fourth position, with Dororo, another live action adaptation after Osamu Tezuka's manga, ranked eighth. In the ninth place we had Sakuran - some movie made after historical fiction manga by Moyocco Anno.

It seems that the only "normal" film in these charts (and by normal I mean not related in any way to little girls or little girls' underwear), was Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea, also translated as "Genghis Khan: I had it all, then I was so dumb as to go battle the Europeans. Shame on me."

The official Japanese website for Red Garden proudly announces that a Red Garden OVA, entitled "Dead Girls", will hit the mother market somewere on August the 8th. Dead girls, eh? Well, we all know about the holy saying "dead girls don't say no", but is this really a way to attract customers? I never saw the original show, but the plot seems rather interesting. Mayhap I will give a try.


Hmm... dead girls don't say no, but do they like doing it from behind?

After understanding that not all the anime obsessed people have mastered the delightful Japanese language, Toei Animation Inc. decided to re-launch their English website. Currently, this one hosts info about some random show of theirs, with the promise that, in the near future, we will have access to goodies such as trailers, downloads, wallpapers, and much more.

Animekon approves of this, as long they don't forget about us lolicons.

In your endless wanking sessions, you must have passed by Dokuro-chan. You know, a small, cute, blue-haired angel, with a club that hits really hard. With spikes. You have a serious pedophile that will invent, when he grows up, some stuff that turns all women into little girls (hence, making them worthwhile), you have your imouto-like angel, you have your dose of great comedy, hell, that show is probably the only one I've watched hundreds of times without getting bored (of fapping on the same chick). And I still am. And yes, listening to a song that emphasizes on pipirupipirupi is something to be noted. The point is, it will have a sequel. Soon. So be prepared for some club-bashing.

A grave battle is being fought as we speak on lolitron, the outcome of which is to decide who is "the most lolilicious loli in recent times (~2005 and forward)". Dozens upon dozens of flat-chested lolis have been competing ever since this year began, and after today's duel, the loli battle will enter its final round of confrontations.

Shamefully, though, the whole thing has been compromised by all sorts of crazed fanboys and desu-tards, whose reckless votings have led to the premature ejaculation ejection of such undeniable lolis as Choco, Aruru, Rika or, most tragically, *ALL* of the Ichigo Mashimaro girlies!


At the very least, Hazuki and Shana have reached the finals, and even though they won't be able to fight it out for the throne (one has to go in the semis), odds are one of them tsunderes will win the whole thing. If there's any loli justice left in this world...

Back on March 1st, GungHo Online Entertainment let us on a little secret: they are developing a MMORPG (oh brother, not another one), based on the old, yet famous, manga series Hokuto no Ken (Fist of The North Star). Around 3000 players are expected to join up the beta test, throw away their lives from 22nd to 26th March, and immerse themselves in this exotic world, kicking buts, grinding for XP, ninja looting, corpse camping and other constructive MMO-ish activities one has learned to take via the internets.

About Hokuto no Ken, it appeared for the first time about 24 years ago in "Weekly Shonen Jump", and has inspired lots of alternative animes, video games and other related thinghies. I, myself, have only seen one of them, don't really remember the title. But, boy, do I remember the carnage... Something about exploding brains and intestines, really neat.

Oh, the loveble seiyuus. What wouldn't I give to meet some of them in person, and do naughty things to them. Well, it was about time for such a ceremony - Japan's first Seiyuu Awards have been decided, on March 3rd in Akihabara. Thanks to ANN, we get a detailed list of the winners, as follows:

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.
