The Way.. Of The Samurai

Remember when you were 8 years old and used to bounce around your back yard pretending that you were the worlds greatest swordsman after watching far too much Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Dogtanian/Whatever?

This young man is keeping that dream alive and kicking flailing.




Not Japanese, but still totally Japans fault.

Merry Fucking Christmas From Japan



And remember, If you're feeling lonely or sad for whatever reason, just take a moment to be thankful that you're not these guys lining up for a promotional cake from their virtual girlfriends.

See you on the flipside bitches.

The Horror... It Continues!

The stuff that I said yesterday about Dollfies been scary as all hell?
Well that goes double for DANCING ROBOTIC DOLLFIES ARGH.



First comes walking and dancing.
Then they learn how to run.
And the final stage?
They learn how to hunt.


Wait, OH GOD IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR M-

Stupidity, Ignorance And Balance

During my usual daily trawl through the internet for funny Japanese stuff, I came across this story: Right wing Japanese picket Korean school children. Granted, it's not so much "ha ha" funny and more "fucking terrifying and hideously-mind-blowingly ignorant and racist" funny.




Oh alright, It's not funny in any way, shape or form. But it does provide a strange counter-balance for a much more amusing example of terrifying and mind-blowing ignorance that I found at the same time:

Your Wednesday WTF




 It's famously grumpy and beardy English Comic God Alan Moore re-imagined as a manga school girl.

Oh, Right. So That's What Lovecraft Was Describing.



Japanese dolls are all really scary.
They manage to capture the unholy creepiness of Victorian-era European porcelain dolls and add a whole extra level of elfin freakishness sprinkled on top... just because they can.

Pulips? Scary.
Blythes? Fucking terrifying.
Dollfies? OH SHIT OH GOD WHAT THE HELL
(and that's just the price tag)

But ever on the cutting edge, Japan has made bold new breakthroughs in the art of really scary dolls.
Say "Oh God, please don't hurt me" to the the Special Fullaction Body Type (or the "Safbit" if you enjoy attaching cute names to beings of unlimited horror)













 *Shudder* Those fingers will haunt me forever.

DAN-GAI-OOOOOH

Like any nerd worth his longbox. I generally prefer anime with English subtitles over English dubbing, but I like to think that's mainly because when I first became interested in it all, most anime had dubs of this quality:

 

Wait a second.. This is amazing.
Quickly Jeeves, fetch my vodka and my 90s Manga video collection!
(Say it with me folks) DANGAIOOOOOH!

So you think you can dance?

I've been staring at this video for a week now but worlds still fail me.
It's just beautiful.



I told myself that I'd try and keep funny YouTube dance videos and giant robots stories to a minimum on this site, but this was just too magical to keep to myself.
