You've heard the news, right? The world is more or less in a state of panic and has left otaku IN DESPAIR! Fear not, our hobby doesn't really involve much human interaction (except arguing on forums about who is more GAR) and we are safe just sitting in front of our computer screens, just snacking away. If swine flu doesn't kill us first, heart disease from lack of exercise and proper nurtition will.

Well you could use your time indoors and check out this past week's Japanator: Chelsea educates us about amazing Japanese ukiyo-e art, God Len reviews Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2, Unemployed Yakuzas!, Moe anime girl exercise video, GUNDAM: CANDY MOUNTAIN!!!, Fart-proof underwear, and an anime about Soviet teenagers with awesome powers fighting invading Nazis.
