In such a perfect space as the Absolute Territory, there is no discrimination, be it by race, creed, or gender.
- On First Impressions: A Certain Scientific Railgun at 11/08 6:11pm
Biribiri is electric.
- On Japanator's Top 25 most popular anime characters at 11/07 4:41pm
Good to see The Major in the top five.

@The-Excel
You could always turn them off. What I'm scared of is that the idiocy that typically permeates most Youtube comment threads will creep into the comments. I'm thinking endless streams of "ths vid s sh**************t"
I mean, I'm sure that Nico commenters are detestable in their own way, but it's easier to tolerate stupidity when it's in a foreign language.

@The-Excel
It's PUT YA GUNS OOOOOONNNNNN *smash*

Finally, something that will, in real time, tell us about the "mass naked child events"
- On Japanator (Doesn't) Recommend: I'll Give It My All...Tomorrow at 11/04 5:08pm
Heh, when you were putting this story up on the schedule I thought you were procrastinating :D
- On New regulations looking to punish ISPs for users stealing content at 11/04 2:32pm
This is true, but I think the potential for abuse is very high. They're essentially shooting the messenger and forcing ISPs to employ content control. If these agreements are put into place it opens the door to many other forms of control that extend beyond copyrighted material.
We don't know the details yet, but as far as I'm aware it's difficult for ISPs to determine which content is and isn't copyrighted without express notification from rights holders. As a result, ISPs might start to employ blanket tactics and ban or throttle down anyone downloading from sites known to host pirated material. It becomes a form of preemptive punishment, and that does not sit well with me at all.
To use a road analogy, the case here might end up being something like toll booths refusing passage for all vans, because vans have enough space to hide illegal immigrants in.
- On Don't want to bother with Hinako? How about getting fit with Holo? at 11/02 10:08pm
I like the puns. Perfectly takes advantage of Holo's unique speech pattern. "Wacchi to Stret(cchi)" FTW.
- On Oh noes anime is dying! FUNimation posts $2.3m profit at 10/30 7:57pm
Not really. Not every show that gets pirated gets fansubbed, after all.
- On The most amazing thing I've seen on Nico...this week at 10/29 00:46am
I need the nico link! I must see the "wwwwwwwwwwww"
- On AKB48 subgroup gets a song in an upcoming RPG at 10/28 10:27pm
This is just the first strike in the upcoming war with HRJK96. They may have the numbers, but not the rabit otaku meatshields.
- On Sakura Wars getting schizophrenic localization at 10/28 12:59pm
@Diverse
@Brad
And in 1927!
@Setre
Good question. The original was a PS2 game, and as such the original LIPS interactions were mapped to a standard Dual Shock 2.
The Wii version is a brand-new port, so I'm going to assume that the LIPS interactions will be revised to suit a Wiimote + Nunchuck scheme. I don't know if there are any Wii games that are classic-controller-only.

@Diverse
That's probably what NIS thought when they started out.
- On VIZ headquarters got flooded while I was oblivious at 10/21 11:35pm
@Red
Like I said, I didn't know 'till it happened!
- On Watch Japanese people run in slow motion, call it art at 10/21 2:06pm
This video reminds me just how much we take the ability to walk and run on two feet for granted.
- On Saimoe 2009: Taiga wins! at 10/17 09:38am
I'm still pissed that it wouldn't let me vote. I'd have liked to give Asakura Ryoko more of a chance ;A;
- On Top 10 signs of otaku fashion are really just 5 signs at 10/16 11:00pm
The links are in the text. I don't see what the problem is.
- On Captain Bright, we're here to help! at 10/16 6:06pm
- On Impressive: Square Enix has not lost one yen on their anime at 10/09 4:15pm
I wish they'd turn some of that mad grip to synchronizing the release dates of new titles between Japan and the rest of the world.
