… the best way to say “thank you” in Japan is to…that’s right, JAM IT IN.

Mischif (2010/01/05)

I recently had a nice conversation with a friend. It simply started out with our favorite artists and their artwork and the genres they usually draw. Of course, given that kind of topic, one thing led to another, and eventually, we found ourselves openly talking about porn. Yes. Porn.

And since it’s a post about porn, let’s tag it as NOT SAFE FOR WORK before we go tackle the juicy parts.

Rule 34: Hentai, ecchi, yaoi, yuri, call it whatever you want to call it. You can never consider yourself a fan if you can’t consider having earthly desires for the cause.

It’s like Touhou Nekomata: You can show how you’re rabidly cute… WITH A CHAINSAW.

The game is moving in a steady phase somehow. Because of that, the blogosphere suddenly questioned a certain factor that makes us what makes us. Strength? Rage? Depth? Mindless Inclination? Rabid Determination? Surely, this goes beyond preference, depth, and the different ways to achieve satisfaction from the fandom, yes? So what about it?

A “No Problem?” x “No Problem!” Problem: Trapeze Final Impressions

“Y’know, people who don’t have any problems are the biggest problem for me.”

It’s been more than a week since Kuchu Buranko ended. And while each and everyone of us tried to make up for anything from the holidays, the show ended like that. Just like that. As if mocking us to be mental while being sentimental. Well, if that’s the case, I’ll take it as a reason to write a post about it.

Celebrating New Year’s Eve with ourselves… and ourselves: Mascots clockwise from top – Reimu Hakurei (Rainbowsphere’s co-mascot), Mils (Miluda’s mascot), Palette (Rainbowsphere’s current mascot), Unnamed Character (Walfas‘ mascot).

It’s officially a new year here (one hour ahead of Tokyo time), and with it come new hopes, new dreams, new aspirations and inspirations. The new chapter unfolds, and our role is to fruitfully pass the time, bearing the constant reminder that time is unstoppable and therefore, precious.

The Elimination of the Impoverished Otaku

Palette2

Beaten, taken down, owned, eliminated, with the deed done by my own mascot, no less. Palette sure likes giving me the “dead line”…

Everyone has been talking about the Otaku Elimination Game for quite some time now. And to be frank, I’m having mixed feelings on how the game works. I’m not trolling here, nor am I trying to open fire on everyone on the sphere or the people behind the OEG. I wouldn’t want a reserved seat on OEG’s little round of Russian Roulette, nor would I try to prove myself an otaku by stubborn and biased means. I just… have to assure something to myself about otakuism: How much worth does the word have for it to be used as a criterion for persons who use it or live its way of life?

Hypotheses, and my own understanding, no matter how hard I’ll fail it. Or we can also just say both and be done with it.
