It always surprises me how original and powerful some anime are. This is another High School anime but with a pretty nasty twist to it, not recommended for younger viewers. I really liked this one, the animation, the storyline, the characters and the music were all above par. This may not be the...

As an overall series? I thought Attack on Titan was pretty good but the first few episodes were fucking awesome. You never knew who was going to live or die but you knew for sure something terrible was about to happen. The series is based on an ongoing manga so there is no way you would get the...

Tokyo to give away 300,000 Halloween garbage bags National Oct. 17, 2015 - 06:09AM JST ( 18 ) TOKYO — As Tokyo braces for Halloween weekends when its streets will be thronged by partygoers wearing all kinds of costumes, the metropolitan government has prepared 300,000 orange garbage bags with...

Sometimes I just want to listen to a good story. The concept for this anime is far from new but it is told in a way that makes it new and fresh. This is an anime that can be appreciated by people of all ages for different reasons. Perfectly safe for you to share with your kids or with your...

After a fast start this anime slows down its' pace to weave its tale. There might be some people that won't have patience for that. Personally, after the first episode I was intrigued enough to keep watching this. It is part horror and part gangster anime, which is nice original approach at the...

The naval battles are probably the worst part of it but naval battles have always been a weakness in Total War games. At least in "Fall of the Samurai" DLC you get to use some a few modern type warships.....which are basically boss and king of the seas. Kind of like "The Black Ship" but more so...

Halloween has become a matsuri in Japan Philp Kotler who is renowned as one of the world’s top marketing “gurus” pointed out the importance of cultural factors as broad and deep influencers of consumer behavior. According to his theory, a company or an event must offer activities that are...

Halloween as a "moving" event Why has Japanese people become so infatuated with Halloween in the first place? Let’s see if we can understand this phenomenon better through some observations made from the standpoint of marketing and behavioral science. To begin with, Halloween in Japan is...

Why Do Japanese People Love Halloween So Much? Observations from a marketing perspective Michiaki Tanaka ：Professor at Rikkyo University Graduate School of Business A Taiwanese student in my class once asked “what is making Japanese people so excited about Halloween?” The student, I-Chen...

Kind of a tough one......there are just so many variables that make a game enjoyable, as well as so many different types of games. I was never a big console guy, I mean they are great but playing games was all they were good for (I guess that has changed now) so I never got into them. I enjoyed...

My condolences.

There is no guarantee that a mod will delete the thread, though I can understand your trepidation. There is truly nothing to worry about here, all U15 models in Japan are required to have their parents consent (I beleive a guardian is required to be present actually, though I am unsure of...

Eat your eyeballs! Japanese traditional confectioner offers line of eye-grabbing Halloween sweets With Japan’s growing love of Halloween, and it’s long-held affection for seasonal sweets, the country now gets a bumper crop of special desserts for the year’s spookiest holiday. So far, most of...

The Fall Out 4 trailer looked pretty amazing. That game is going to be the bomb (and I can play it with my measly 4th gen i5). Never played any of the persona series, will have to give it a look at.mUpdate: no fun, they don't make that game for the PC.

I was beginning to worry about you. I haven't been able to access your site....what is up?

I think I saw on Alexa you rate in the top 400 sites, in Japan (top 4000 overall). Getting popular again......must drive Chomps crazy. It is really due a lot to the staff though, you guys deserve a bonus.

Uploaded.net probably does well for premium accounts but that is all they are good for as they don't ever seem to allow free downloads (even though they offer that option on their download page). So basically I hate them and ignore posts with only those links. Of course I am only speaking for...

Halloween events in Japan and Okinawa Japan HALLOWEEN FESTA IN MISAWA (Aomori prefecture): Oct. 17, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Halloween parade and costume contest and more at Misawa Arcade-Shopping Mall; 0176-53-2175. YOKOHAMA YAMANOTE WESTERN-STYLE BUILDINGS HALLOWEEN (Kanagawa prefecture): Oct...

Nearing that time of year again so I thought I would update this thread: Pepsi Ghost” brings a mysterious new flavor for Halloween in Japan Pepsi Ghost comes in a wide range of bottle designs featuring various classic Halloween costumes such as witches, ghosts and mummies. Each bottle is...

Not another vampire anime! doesn't matter. Sudden plot twist! saw it coming. it doesn't matter. Please not another apocalypse tale! but it doesn't matter. Because good is good and this is very good. I love me a horror tale but when you are a fan of something, you rate it. Take what makes a good...

Not sure why you put this in the "Adult Discussion" section because I don't think this qualifies. Maybe a mod will move it to one of the more appropriate sections. Is 400gbs of JAV too much? I guess it depends on who you ask. For me? yes it would be. I mean how many times could I watch the...

Another anime that will fool you or at least it fooled me. This comes off as a comedy but it evolves a little more each episode into something more. The reason most of the best anime are derived from manga, light novels or visual novels is that storytelling is an art form. The beginning of a...

Fear The Walking Dead was really a lot better than I thought it would be. A little slow going as they built up some momentum to the very decent finale. The Good Wife is back, great show and I hardly recognize it as they have let the series evolve and grow in different directions. Not a fan of...

RicX.com is currently down and offline. It is best reffered to as a Japanese Junior Idol Museum and has been around for something like 16 years or more. RicX was here at AO last 9/27 and I am sure he will probably pop his head up again. Unless he has gotten tired of all the sickos', wannabes'...

How is "The Evil Within"? I can't play that, it requires an i7 processor (which pisses me off, I mean really what the fuck!!!). Sounds like a big game (41GB after install). Great game to get in the Halloween spirit.

Funny you should mention that. The MMA world is going through a lot of adjustments now that the UFC has banned intravenous rehydration (as of OCT. 1st). I always hated guys fighting clearly out of their weight class. I understand that there is a lot of money at stake but no one likes a cheater...

UFC 192 actually lived up to its' billing. I can't remember a card with as many great battles as this one had. Not one bad fight, a bunch of warriors every one of them. I watched the Legacy FC 46 as well. This is where a lot of up-and-comers fight, a lot of them (around 30) have been called up...

Well, the luac extension is the Lua Compiler. It translates programs written in the Lua programming language into binary files that can be loaded and executed with lua_dofile in C or with dofile in Lua. VLC can play output files in that language, so that wasn't the problem. The video is in...

out of my league. Still, I'm bored so I will give it a shot. Sounds like a DRM problem. As far as it refusing to play before with VLC that could be on you. You have to specify what types of files will be recognized by VLC. If you leave some types unchecked it will not load the correct codecs. It...

So, in lieu of anything decent to watch I was watching one of the episodes of Continuum (in its' last season, may it rest in peace). I did see something interesting, a sitcom called The Grinder starring Rob Lowe. Now I am a big Rob Lowe fan, I have been ever since he started acting. That is a...

I had never heard of "knight fights" but looking into it I see it is in its' very early stages of development and its' future uncertain. Entertaining, sure, but whether they can make it into a sport or not....we will see. Thx for the heads up on that though, I will keep an eye out for it. Kimbo...

You forgot already? We used to have the ability to edit our own thread titles, then it was taken away, then it was returned to some members based on a certain criteria (I don't know what that was but apparently they used the wrong formula), then the right to edit our own thread titles was...

sry, didn't know the particulars. Mayhaps I judged too harshly in my ignorance.

eeeewwwwww

Sounds like a lot of conjecture to me. If the girls broke the conditions of their contract that might make the news but I did not see any proof that they did anything "whorish" or "akin to prostitution". Bans on dating are not uncommon among young J-Pop groups. I know this is primarily a porn...

Seems to me it would have been easier just to stop the "some people" who missused the privledge. Just sayin.........

I am sure everyone has their own opinion as to what they consider good or bad, and me? I am just expressing my opinion. This anime is a winner. That does not mean I thought the plot was easy to follow because I don't think that at all. It means that despite that this was well directed, animated...

UFC Fight Night 75 was pretty good. Some great fights from the Japanese fighters and the main card was much better than I thought it would be, a real war. Josh Barnetts' Japanese was pretty good and he is pretty popular there, he got a lot of cheers. I saw the first Draw ever in a UFC fight (for...

Wait until you finish Half-Life 2 episode 2 then you will see what everyone is pissed off about. Those were really fun games and I am sure you will enjoy them. What was missing was actually episode 3....they kind of left the story hanging a bit....

I enjoyed the first season much more than the second but that is more because of the direction for the series they set there sights on. So I am a little torn as to whether I should reccomend this or not. I do think the first season is well worth the effort to watch and once you see the first...

Wow. You really got a hard-on for the whole "hate" thing. "Don't hate the players, hate the game". I am sure the Chinese are just as good, if not better, at the whole "information gathering" thing. The great "Chinese Firewall" is pretty impressive and they have a very effective way of...

yeah, the people at Valve are kinda total dicks for not finishing the Half-Life saga. It was a great source engine and a great series. Black Mesa was a third party remake of the game, there is an unofficial mod expansion pack for it if you can find it.

I am familar with the Three Kingdoms period, the Fall of the Han Dynasty. I have been trying to find a decent copy of the book (the official history) that I could afford. Still, as revered as this is in China keep in mind that this dates back over 1800 years (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

I have a number of reservations about sharing this torrent yet I watched it and enjoyed it so I will overlook those and share it. The video and audio are excellent, the subtitles are a mess and a fix for the subs is attached. Like the last post the subtitles will have to be loaded for each...

I wouldn't exactly say that those types of victories are exactly common. I am a big Napoleon fan and with all his victories, many against superior odds, I cannot think of one where the odds were stacked quite that far. But that argument is academic. "Fortune favors the bold" is a nice quote...

I actually know very little about the era, considering how much there is to know about it. I don't think there is much doubt that Oda Nobunaga was one of the greatest leaders in history but he wasn't the most diplomatic of personas' either. I think betrayal of one sort or another was just in...

I know about some of these but I seriously suggest you stay away from DHEA, it is a type steriod and its side effects could be most unwanted. I would also stay away from adding Iodine to your diet, except perhaps using Iodized salt, Iodine poisining can be fatal. Ginkgo is great but keep in my...

If there were more UFC fans here I would seek to share it here. It is possible the mods would allow it as it is only available with English subs (Japanese language only). However the UFC would probably send a DMCA notice....possibly.......I am not sure they would even notice that it was shared...

Try as one might, that just ain't gonna happen.

Well....eating oysters might help..... but seriously.....just cut back a little on the porn. There are pills now available that could also help, urologists seem to scoff at it but they actually work (this is from personal experience). However that can not only get costly but you have to take...
