Coolest University webpage ever rips on Dragon Quest, K-On!Most University webpages feature cheesy images of students reading books under trees, each accompanied by text that is supposed to draw you into spending tens of thousands of dollars of your money to learn there. What a waste. They might get better results by posting beer pong rakings and hot girl galleries. It would work on me! Tokyo Zokei University, an art and design school, has a new webpage for high school applicants for their open campus event. They work to play to the interests of the students they hope to attend with this page. Called Zokei Quest, the whole site is presented in an 8-bit RPG fashion, and even has four girls that look similar to the four girls of the anime/manga K-On!. Nice! All of this is set to an 8-bit soundtrack remicinesent of old role-playing games. Head on over and check out the site. [via ANN] Did you know?

12:00 PM on 06.21.2012 Uh-oh: Japan passes SOPA-alike, Youtube could be outlawedUrk. I've always resisted (sometimes illogically), the characterization of Japan as a backwards country ruled by out-of-touch old people and shady corporate special interests. After all, it's easy shorthand for "Crazy Japan" ...
4:00 PM on 06.20.2012 PSA: PlayStation Network Store to go down in KoreaNow yes, I know this site is called "Japanator", which would nominally keep Korean news off our radar - not until we launch our peninsular offshoot "Joseonator", anyway - but I'd think this news is significant enough to put u...
12:00 PM on 06.20.2012 She's Winner! Hatsune Miku's Chrome ad wins at CannesYes, that Cannes. The one in France. Well, the "Direct Lions" part of it anyway, the one that's concentrated on advertising rather than movies (cue snarky comment about all movies being ads anyway). Hatsune Miku, everyone's ...

12:52 PM on 06.19.2011 HUGE Anime DVD/BD Sale at Zavvi.com for Euro peepsNo one ever likes spending money.
