Do Japanese kids eat worse than prisoners?

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Itai News posted a pretty interesting article comparing the food currently served at a public school vs a public prison. I don’t know about you, but both of them look a heck of a lot better than what’s on my desk for lunch! Anyone ever spend a night locked up in the states? Japanator wants to know [...]

A Daily Dose of Music: Chatmonchy

Even the most dangerous war monger need some bath time. I haven’t had a chance to check out Themae Romae, but I imagine an episode goes down a bit like the characters in the music video for Chatmonchy’s Thermae Roman. It’s a pretty great rock tune with a lot of energy. As you might have [...]

A LOT of ninjas are in Naruto Ultimate Storm Generations

A whopping seventy-two of them, in fact, and that’s just counting the playable characters. The number swells considerably when you look at support-only characters and move-set variations on the same character (there are, five versions of Sasuke alone). Pretty much everyone from the whole series capable of chucking some chakra is going to be in [...]

Kingdom Hearts 3DS gets a huge, 8 minute trailer

As convoluted and ridiculous as the Kingdom Hearts franchise is, I have a huge soft spot for the series. It’s certainly has its ups and downs, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find some kind of enjoyment out of every entry. I don’t know about you guys, but I really enjoyed the [...]

Look surprised: K-ON! movie is making a lot of money

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Like it or not, K-ON! is an incredibly succesful franchise. Testament to that is the news of how much money has been generated following the release of the film just two days ago. Just to reiterate, it’s been out two days. With me? Good.  In these two days, it’s made a whopping 316,310,000 yen on [...]

Japanator Kind of Recommends: Conquering the Queen

Saturday, December 3, 2011

Before jumping into this review, I must first make a few points about where I stand on visual novels and eroge on the whole. I admit to having a decent amount of experience playing both family friendly and adult VNs. I think the genre actually has a lot of potential as a storytelling medium, with [...]

Do you know how much all the K-ON movie merch costs?

I’ll tell you. A lot of money. More specifically, over 70,000+ Japanese Yen, according to an anonymous otaku who may or may not be the person who spent roughly $920 to buy all that stuff. Yup. Face masks, eye shades, clear files, posters, carabiners, inflatable chibi headrests, figurines, cellphone straps, and all manner of ridiculous [...]

Here’s your look at Harvest Moon 3DS and its Alpaca

Got a 3DS? Like farming games? If you said yes to both questions, then the trailer for the upcoming Harvest Moon: Hajimari no Daichi (lit: “The Farmland Begins”) is the trailer for you, especially since it shows off some farming gameplay. Just imagine it in 3D! And even better, (Japanese) buyers get an adorable Alpaca cellphone strap. [...]

It’s a new New Love Plus trailer! Get your romance on!

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

I have to admit, I find the Love Plus series absolutely fascinating. A few years back I picked up the original title on sale, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t have a ton of fun with it. In many ways this series is appealing in the same way that a Sims game might be. [...]
