dragon-ball-evolution-19.jpg

Given the ferocious antipathy we have seen directed against the Hollywood movie “adaptation” of beloved classic Dragonball, the sight of the game adaptation of the movie, “Dragonball: Evolution”, is sure to send fans in paroxysms of rage and despair.

Below we compare the two conceptions of the franchise, in 2D and 3D:

The Japanese games industry appears to be in the midst of a slump, with sales last fiscal year plunging and Japan’s overall share of the worldwide market shrinking to just under 20%, along with a precipitous 15% decrease in the size of the domestic market, reports Enterbrain, publisher of famed gaming magazine Famitsu.

NicoNico Complex: NicoNico Douga Unlocked

mikumiku-complex.jpg

We have received full embed permission from NicoNico Douga, which I believe is a first for an English language anime site, and quite possibly for a solely English language site too.

This took a fair bit of organisation, and a meeting at the Dwango (Nico) offices, so it is not hard to see why it is uncommon even amongst Japanese sites…

With this you can freely view videos from Nico embedded on our pages without an account or otherwise, and also you can freely post videos in the forums. Additional features are also planned.

Cyber Figure ARis: Molest a Maid Voiced by Yukana

virtual-figure-aris.jpg

Robotic figures may be some way off, but virtual figures, here in the form of a “Virtual Idol System”, are much closer.

Cyber Figure ARis, as she is known, possesses a 3D polygonal maid avatar of modest fidelity, along with charming voicing provided by the same seiyuu as C.C. of Code Geass (and Tear Grants), Yukana.

In addition, she responds interestingly to the full gamut of perverted experimentation her master will inevitably throw at her; you can see this rather amusing molestation in action in the below videos:

Pale Skinned Idol Gallery

A gallery of idols with skins as white as alabaster, as pure as the driven snow. This may be an exaggeration, but these idols certainly are, by dint of genetics or indoor proclivities, more pallid than is the norm.
