Why are you coughing, you wouldn't try and sniff something from an underwear drawer just to find that it had been mothballed would you? Amateur.

Well, yeah, nerds buy shit that cute girls own. :lol

I'm just wondering if Fender paid them, they paid Fender, or if there are no actual laws against using brand names in Japan and people eat "Pochy" because it's funny or something.
Some animes will just do that and get away with it. Dear Boys had a bunch of EuroBeat songs they never released :lol

No, that's not the one. There was a real one, not idolmaster branded, no robots either. Unfortunately Idol wasn't in the name either.

It could be any show from 2000 - 2009.
Full Moon Wo Sagashite?

Yeah, probably. It just seems weird when some shows will use official products and some will make things up, especially when there's no real rhyme or reason for either representation of products.

You're part of the problem! And didn't they do that with the Lucky Star house?

In my experience, there aren't really very many nerd places to go to. (Or I never bothered to look)

There was the 1:1 RX-78 (also with a 1:8 Red Zaku) and then the various expos but other than that, its just creepy stores in Akihabara.

I'd welcome a tourist spot for nerds like that.

Its probably this unless Jex has gone all pedo on us and started watching LilPuri. That's an idol show for kids.

Ah well, I'll just resign to myself to finding it at some point in the future. Maybe.

Time for Moshidora!

Someone spec'ed out the Hirasawa house:

$500k

But this is like asking how someone can work in a coffee shop yet have a giant apartment in Friends.
Jesus, THAT is boredom. I just know this stuff from unrelated experience. Still, I'm not questioning that they have the equipment. It makes total sense, if all of their parents are upper-middle class and can afford to bestow such things upon their children, and thus it makes sense that Mio would have $300 studio headphones. At best, as a poor-ass college student with teachers for parents who could barely afford his $150 5w tube amp, I'm jealous. I'm really fucking jealous.

Oh well, I suppose I'll take refuge in the vintage Gretsch jazz drum kit with vintage US factory unmarked Zildjians that was passed down from my late grandfather... if only I could play them. ;___;

Oh, and I don't have to pay for college. That's nice too. :D

Why have I never watched this show until now?! So good

Well Nice Boat is actually an american made meme too that got adopted by the creators. 0verflow makes Nice Boat merch and sells it at their booths.

Aww, Maria+Holic Alive episode 3 kinda sucked, although they did do a CSI thing after the ending which could have been cool if they did it in the middle after Kanako assaulted God's dog and had someone yell "YEAAAAHHHH" really loud with the Horatio parody making some lame one-liner.

Also, it's almost endearing listening to yes and no be pronounced so strangely. In episode 1 you had Matsurika give Kanako the choice of "Yes or yes," which came off so robotic this time it was Sachi trying to say "no" but ending up sounding like a cat.

Hopefully they release the Bluray for these over here.

Gendo is a boss. Instead of wasting time on any/all of the female characters, Eva fans should be drawing fanart of badass motherfucker Gendo more often.
But when they do it's usually creepy fan art.

He's just obsessed with his kinda-dead wife.

Hrm, I never thought about it, but it's kind of weird that he was slept with a woman and then her daughter. Shame, who needs shame when you get results?

Dresden said:
I think so.
Yeah, it is. Some Japanese TV show flew some guy to IGN's offices just to meet the guys in the picture.

Gaijin 4-koma? totally.

I don't know what I'm doing... why am I DLing Koe de Oshigoto!? I'm probably going to watch it, and then I'm probably going to end up a little aroused, and feel very dirty and in need of a cold shower...

I've noted a disturbing trend of muscle-girl fanart for Evangelion. It's so bizarre, I'm not even really creeped out. It's just... why?

I doubt it's anything specific. More like:

Eva has a huge amount of fans. Therefore, it's fandom contains people who enjoy ever conceivable fetish therefore you'd get a diverse range of fan art.

Tiger and Bunny 4:
Now, this is what I've been waiting for. After Episode 1, I was really hoping for more episodes like that that give us more character focused drama, as opposed to 2 and 3 that felt really like generic superhero stories (but not as good as the truly good ones). This episode was a big move in the other direction, and we got a good window into the personality of a character as well as an idea of how being a hero affects your life in different ways.

I really liked the scene with them talking at the bar.

More episodes like this, please.

No, I mean like, disproportionate amounts. From different artists. It's just bizarre...

Anyway, started up Koe de Oshigoto! and from that opening bit, I'm kind of wondering if that's an accurate representation of what really happens in the recording rooms of these game companies, since it's a kind of bizarre thing to experience behind the scenes...

Eh, I'll have full thoughts later after fidgeting my way through it.
 
Watching:
Dororon Enma-kun
