Japanator

Hey all. The previous entry reminded me of something some of you might be interested in. I've recently become a writer for Japanator.com, a site dedicated to covering anime, manga, and all other facets of Japanese entertainment and culture (like that video on the previous post.) Check it out if you're into that sort of thing. I've posted a mega-ton of links to my stories after the jump.


Cosplay: The Good, The Bad, The Oh God My Eyes! My first post, and probably the grossest. Nothing like a little green-spandex-nut-pouch to get started off on the right foot.

Thanko USB Powered Shame Disguiser This is a case of me thinking I had a good joke going. Not sure it was.

My What Big Teeth You Have, Haruhi The company releasing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya in the States is trying to get the fan-sub sub-culture to make damn sure they buy the legal DVD release by releasing fan-style sites and videos.

Is Famitsu, Is Not Famitsu Just a story about a story about Japanese gaming magazines that are NOT Famitsu.

I Just Slymed In My Mouth A Little Rip Slyme released a music video that was a four minute long Sony Vaio commercial. GET IT? Oh wait, it's not a joke...

Everything Is Someone This is an original story I put together about various kinds of Japanese mascots, both official and fan made. I still think OS-tans are pretty coo-coo bananas.

Wonder Festival 2007 A report on the, wait for it, 2007 Wonder Festival! Think little plastic boobies.

The Adventures of the ASOS Brigade: Episode 005 See "My What Big Teeth You Have, Haruhi."

Satoshi Kon's "Paprika" Wins Award What is says, with my snide comments.

American Anime Awards Award Japanese Anime. Wait. What? The AAA were a total joke. This was a big hit on Digg. We'll probably never hear from ADV again.

Otaku vs Bullies Final Fantasy Style This is a great fan-vid, now with a translation in the comments!

Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show Just watch it and see.

Otaku USA Magazine On Its Way Could be great. Could be a huge joke.

Pantsu. Pantsu! Pantsuuu! Panty thievery is alive and well.

Scooby ala Manga Some very cool fan art featuring Scooby and the gang in black and white manga style. This one is finally cooling down on digg after getting us a bajillion hits.

Giant Gundam Lantern Squats Over Taiwan Gundam + just about anything = awesome.

New York Times Enters "Comfort Women" Controversy This is actually a very serious story that's way too complicated to go into here. This could just blow over, or it could become very ugly for both America and Japan. Please read it.

Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro Ge Ge Gets All Live Action Self explanitory.

New Death Note OP Not So Light The new OP is CRAZY.

Tofu Records Closing Its Doors Sad, but probably true.

Comments

Sweet, a new Satoshi Kon flick. Tokyo Godfathers had the best chase scene ever at the end.


Nice work, Zac!
