• On De culture! A beginner's guide to the Macross metaverse at 11/20 12:25pm

  :(
  
  Yeah, I know about the whole Harmony Gold thing, and it's always so damn depressing.

• On What Manga's Been Up To: F*ck Dinosaurs at 11/19 4:47pm

  Oh God, I remember this one... It's hentai, it's crazy, and... Oh God Oh God Oh God. It was hilarious at first, but hten.... OH GOD

• On What Manga's Been Up To: F*ck Dinosaurs at 11/19 4:45pm

  I love how nobody took off the "This image is hosted in mangafox.com" disclaimer, lol.

• On Mini-skirt Space Pirates getting a TV anime...that is all at 11/19 10:32am

  I don't care what this show is about anymore. It's called "Mini-skirt space pirates". To me, that reads as ZETTAI RYOUIKI EXTRAVAGANZA, and you know what? I think that's VERY GOOD.

• On Uh, M...Mio? Are you sick or something? at 11/17 10:43am

  Harmonic got it: It's 3D Custom Girl with some maid mods. The camera work is kinda shoddy, but it's one of the default anims, so there wasn't much work put into this in the first place.
  
  Except for the Soundtrack. LOL

• On Higurashi games coming out in English December 15th at 11/17 10:41am

  Bashamo:
  
  Eroge/Visual Novel, because Mangagamer has released mostly Eroge so far. Higurashi would be the first non-eroge they release. In other words, their first VN.
  
  And, ABOUT TIME! At AX they said part one would come out in OCTOBER.

• On What Manga's Been Up To: It's Sexy Time at 11/13 4:48pm

  Mmhm... I dunno, this week's seems weaker than last week's.

• On Kurokami Blu-Ray will be dub-only at 11/10 6:11pm

  This is great news, guys:
  
  It means that Bandai was totally peer pressured into making a single-language release of a series that wasn't that popular anyways.
  
  Huh.

• On Proof that Japan doesn't always have better box art at 11/10 10:32am

  Drake you look kinda cool O-o

• On Japanator Recommends: Collateral Damage at 11/10 10:31am

  I have it, but haven't played it yet XD
  
  We've been too busy trying to catch up with our anime viewings in our meetings.

• On JapanaTen: The top ten anime girls I wish were real at 11/06 3:31pm

  I don't have a Top Ten.
  
  I have a Top Two:
  
  Holo, from Spice and Wolf, and Senjougahara Hitagi, from Bakemonogatari.
  
  (Runner up: Aisaka Taiga, but only because she's Toradorable).
  
  That is all.

• On What Anime's Been Up To: Fansubs are Funny, Part 2 at 11/05 1:52pm

  SEA KITTENS LOL

• On What Anime's Been Up To: Fansubs are Funny, Part 2 at 11/05 1:22pm

  These are always good :D

• On New regulations looking to punish ISPs for users stealing content at 11/04 1:53pm

  The problem is all those sites that have an immense amount of possibly copyrighted content. We're talking Flickr, DeviantArt, YouTube. This will also hamper the acquisition and creation of works protected under Fair Use.
  
  IMHO: These things are being made by people who don't understand the technology *at all*. Instead of restricting, they need to find a new way to allow the promotion and spread of content.

• On Bakemonogatari tops the Blu-ray charts with 39,000 copies sold at 11/04 10:55am

  BD + DVD means... Bakemonogatari totally tops the charts.
  
  I can't help but wonder why no one has licensed neither K-On nor Bakemonogatari, being top sellers and all.

• On Endless Eight DVDs sell fairly well at 11/04 10:08am

  Mmmh. I wonder, did they release E8 as DVD only, or did they also release it on DVD? Because when you take the total sales of Bakemonogatari DVD + BR, they're considerably higher.
  
  And how.

• On Hidden camera show makes a poor young idol look insane at 11/03 4:47pm

  Wow.

• On This is happening: Hideo Kojima and Neon Genesis Evangelion creator judging a Twilight art contest at 11/02 12:31pm

  what.

• On Weekly Otaku Debate: Kimi ni Todoke vs Toradora! at 10/30 2:37pm

  Brad, we should make a "WE HATE TIM SHEEHY" club.
  
  I've already read enough Kimi ni Todoke to realize it's awesome. And Toradora... Well, it's awesome too.
  
  It's too hard to cast a vote.
  
  I think...
  
  Master Asia wins. I vote for Master Asia.

• On Please License Bakemonogatari at 10/29 6:03pm

  Right now, it would be a really expensive license. The show hasn't been completely released on DVD or BD yet, which makes things harder ATM.
  
  Things that help the case of a Bakemonogatari license:
  - It has been a HUGE HIT in Japan.
  - People are asking for it.
  - It has a lot of quality.
  
  Things that hinder the licensing process:
  - It's not fully released yet.
  - It's relatively new (More expensive as a license)
  - It's very Japanese.
  
  It's not impossible, but I wouldn't count on it happening soon, not in the current market conditions. Most companies are now looking for multi-disk releases, half or full seasons. How would Bakemonogatari be released? Also, bear in mind that the Japanese release includes a Commentary Track (I'd go as far as calling it "The Best Commentary Track Ever, In My Oh So Humble Opinion"), which also makes it harder to include more episodes per disk.
  
  All in all, this is a complex license to carry over here. It would sell, no doubt about it, but would it sell enough to warrant bringing it with pomp and celebration?
  
  Time will tell. I can only hope.
