Detailed photos of the finished C.C. and Kallen Dakimakura have recently found their way online.
These were featured here before, but fans should appreciate actual photos of the final product, especially with close-ups of the more important bits.
The image you see above came close (third in fact) to topping gaming rag Famitsu’s most popular articles for 2008, being beaten out only by a story on the PSP-3000 and one on SF IV, proving beyond doubt, as if there were any, that Nagato Yuki is vastly more appealing than all but the PSP and Chun Li’s thighs.
Perhaps unsatisfied by this, an unknown Photoshop Master provides a remastered version in higher quality below, but in a mistake worthy of a fail gallery forgets to include the actual bath towel! Almost as bad as Tony…
The February edition of Newtype promises “big news about the Suzumiya Haruhi TV anime” in the March edition. All speculation focuses on this being regarding the hugely anticipated and much belated second series.
A federal appeals panel has upheld the 20 year sentence of a lolicon found to have received illustrations of underage sex by email, saying that “it is not a required that the minor depicted actually exists”, and so ruling art not to be universally protected free speech.
The court also insisted that purely textual email containing incest related material was not constitutionally protected free speech, and so also upheld his conviction on these grounds.
You may recall we saw the release of a number of ToHeart erotic dakimakura covers a while ago; one of those, Sasara Kusugawa, is given a very thorough working over indeed in a recent review:
A middle schooler has been arrested after forcing himself upon an older girl at a carpark, and then robbing her of ¥300 to buy cigarettes with.
Vaunted artist Tony’s latest work, an erotically themed Clannad After Story doujinshi entitled ぼたん鍋 / Botan Nabe, is with us, and Quen has provided a translation once again. It features both colour illustrations and a manga section as with previous volumes.
The latest Vocaloid after the Gackpoid emerges in detail, set for release at the end of January; her name is 巡音ルカ / Megurine Luka.
She (her voice) is said to be “cool and husky”, a reasonable description as you can hear in the below demo song:
The above image compares the various incarnations of the ancient Chinese classic “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” (三国志 / Sangokushi in Japanese) characters in anime, manga and games.
Cosplay idol Shoko-tan has been busy making mischief; we hear that she made the three announcers pictured above give Kira☆ poses, and in addition has published a spot of Macross cosplay on her blog, and produced a rather skilful illustration of Ranka Lee, both visible below.
Koihime Musou’s 4th DVD release has arrived, and aside from some gratuitous loli pantsu it appears to be nothing more than a chibi massacre, much as with last time, save without the benefit of service to offset the loss.
The comparison is still interesting enough, however:
