My name is Peter Payne and I live in Japan and run J-List. Whee.

  Can we destroy these spamming jerks?
  
  Hearing this news makes me want to make a statement about "a camera so easy that a fool or a Korean could use it" but I won't. (This is basically the only rude thing about Koreans I've ever heard in Japan after living there for 20 years. The reverse would not be true, would it, Korea?)

• On AX 10: May'n and Megumi Nakajima concert and photos at 07/07 02:50am

  Was happy to be there. No one could have kept me out of the room.

• On Beards are now forbidden! at 06/21 03:39am

  Of all the places for this to happen, it's Isesaki, the city where I live. Can a thing matter less than this does? For the record, Japanese city employees are the most conservative, tight-laced types of Japanese there are, and no one is wearing beards, pierced earrings or tats.

• On Opposition to Tokyo's anti-loli bill spills into fiction at 06/06 01:52am

  I wonder if this would affect the exact same characters in light novels, since so many anime come from the light novel world these days. There's just no end to the idiocy.

• On Looking for a good time? Yakuza dealers sell fake Viagra at 06/06 01:49am

  Jeez, just cut it in half and you have half the dose.

• On The new Love Plus+ premium packs show hot new haircuts at 06/02 8:17pm

  I'm thinking post-virginity loss hairstyle change? Am I the only one?
  
  Rinko in twintails, be still my heart.

• On Wasabi Kit Kat is good, they say at 06/01 9:13pm

  Sadly it's summer now, and chocolate melts like a mother in Japan, hence it's not available at J-List. We had it back a few months ago though.

• On Rest in Peace, Peter Keefe: Voltron producer passes away at 05/30 07:31am

  I remember in some episode, someone said, "Go...Lion!" as a throwaway line, which was cool since that's the original name of the show.

• On Shocker: Evangelion 2.22 DVD/BD sells like gangbusters at 05/26 8:45pm

  We have it at J-List if you're looking for it. Watched my copy of the Blu-Ray last night, it's great. The sound too. Not subtitled unfortunately, but we sell Japanese study supplies too (j/k).

• On J-list has Snake Juice at 05/24 12:06pm

  We also have "The Juice of Haruhi Suzumiya"

• On Yum: K-ON!! otaku cooks Mugi's bento box at 05/21 11:38pm

  Heh, this is the Hakoya bento that J-List carries (http://moe.vg/9WsUce). Maybe I can get Mrs. J-List to make this for me.

• On May'n and Megumi Nakajima, live at Anime Expo this summer at 05/21 10:13am

  OH BABY. I am very happy. I love May'n and I love Ranka's singer Okay, her teeth are really fucked up, but her voice is sweet. Even if she doesn't have prehensile hair.

• On Thanks Canada: Gov't notes that most anime 'not porn' at 05/14 12:30pm

  I've never, ever seen pubes drawn on anime characters, and very infrequently in games. This is so much fail.

• On Japanator Recommends: Enzai: Falsely Accused at 05/10 8:31pm

  Thanks for the review, a good write-up.
  
  Having translated the game, I checked out the OVA, and I can say, all the excellent psychological story parts were not present. The darker themes are actually not that bad in this game -- there's a bit with Guildas, who is the guy responsible for putting you in prison, Jose who you turn into an ally in one path, and so on, but it's not the focus of the game at all. Bottom line, it's quite a subtle, good game that crosses all genres (pretty much everything except straight bara, try Absolute Obedience for that) and is good.
  
  Neocloud9, we're actually an all-Mac company making these PC games. Since we're a niche within a niche within a niche, full Mac versions are kind of difficult. There are many ways to run PC games on an Intel Mac, starting with Boot Camp. Might give it a try, it doubles the usefulness of a Mac.

• On Be honest: You kind of want this Ramen spoon/fork thing at 05/06 12:56pm

  I will try to score this for J-List ^_^

• On Cruncyroll giving all-access memberships for $0.99! at 05/05 9:05pm

  If you sign up do they let you watch from inside frigging Japan?

• On Densha Otoko ties the knot with an ippanjin at 05/03 8:46pm

  I'm still in shock from Misaki Itoh dating the dude from Da Pump after Densha Otoko ended. Do you have to totally crap on otakus so totally by dating the hippest dude in the world?

• On Bang Zoom says anime is going to die -- is it true? at 04/29 8:59pm

  As progresses, J-List's booth moves closer to the front of room at Anime Expo. Eventually we'll be headlining the show, at this rate. While it's cool to be a popular booth and all, it does make me sad.

• On Anime's Most Memorable: Noriko Takaya at 04/26 09:22am

  Captain Bright, to me Gunbuster is a merging of The Forever War and Ender's Game. Amirite or amirite? It's the only way to describe the links.
