iPhone WebsitePerhaps now that you have Mirai Gaia automagically creating 'mobile' versions of all uploaded images you can now have those pushed to the RSS feed instead of the full sized images, so readers like GoogleReader don't carp out halfway through your imag...
Tokyo Storm NinjaI think the recent Bones redesign of The Skull Man, and Lelouch as Zero would be two other really good designs to take cues from. The Zero mask especially seems to lend itself to comfort for glasses wearers while allowing for greater visibility.
Sku...
Japan EarthquakeOh, I learned something interesting today. Japan records earthquake strength differently than the US. Thanks for that info Danny!
Though seeing as this one was recorded as a 6.9 and apparently the scale tops out a 7.. I wonder what scale the anime '...
Dollfie Ryomo ShimeiDanny is quoting Axelay when he says that..
You can hear it in the first couple seconds of this video:

A Week in Tokyo 27In Halloween's defense, much like Valentine's Day it hasn't had much of a meaning anywhere in the world for a goodly number of centuries. Largely they're both excuses to sell large amounts of candy and decorations and have a little fun. Any non-comme...
Unemployment in JapanWell, he's not unemployed, he's UNDERemployed. Meaning he's got part time employment, just not enough to sustain him for more than what he's has. In the US at least that means he's not eligible for unemployment benefits, though the exact rules vary f...
National Go Topless DayCurrently it's completely legal in the state of New York for a woman to go topless. Legal as in, the issue has previously been taken to court and the judge ruled in favor of the topless women who were being fined/etc. So there's established legal pre...
War Time HeroesY'know, I'm fairly certain Chuck Yeager would have heart attack if someone told him the Japanese have created a catgirl loli with airplane legs in his namesake.
KanokonI watched it all mostly from a completionist standpoint. Though I'll admit to having a bit of a weak spot for the slice-of-life fanservice stuff.
Portal UserbilityI had wondered why I suddenly got a rash of friend's requests from Danny at various websites. Now I see why, he was taking a look at how the big portals are doing things right now.
Redesign UpdatesAlso, looking it over again, it's not immediately clear that those items at the top are actually the 'meat' of the site as the news articles are occupying the traditional blog centerline, new visitors might be confused/misled by this. I'm not sure ho...
Redesign UpdatesVery much like the more more streamlined look Danny, your site has always had a very busy/cluttered front page, but the mockup is a big improvement over the past layouts.
Only thing I might suggest is to give yourself slightly more room for those ar...
Rick TrooperDanny, I've never actually bothered to listen to the entirety of "Never Gonna Give You Up" as I have the intro of that damn song memorized. But I did it for you. Excellent work.
Koihime MusouYet another adaptation of the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' storyline and setting. I think the most interesting thing about this ero-game to anime adaptation is the complete disappearance of the game's protagonist, which means no Liu Bei equivalent...
iPhone TrooperThis video didn't really do anything for me, but I'm eagerly awaiting that Tokyo Rock Trooper video, and I literally laughed out loud at Rick Trooper
School Girls SkirtsIt has been suggested that the ideal ratio is 4:1:2.5
That being, the length of the skirt : skin visible : length of sock above knee.
That being said, this was measuring skirt to knee, so zettai ryouiki doesn't apply.
Quickly! A study must be esta...
Watase NozomiPossibly one of the few PVC figures with pubic hair, definitely not the only figure out there with it. Especially when you start looking at some of the stranger fetish garage kits that are out there, then you run into situations where even underarm h...
A Week in Tokyo 19Hey Danny, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding or if you just worded it funny, but Pedo Bear has always been Japanese, no need to quantify him as such. It's just what Kuma from 2ch was turned into by 4chan.
Always CheckWhy are the people over on Akibablog so surprised over this? AskRay is rather well known for this specific type of content? Did they actually think they would be getting something other than loli-futa?
Manga SeriesThe longest and first series I collected was Love Hina, way back in high school. At the time it was probably the longest series even available to me in printed form. On a side note, thinking back, Keitaro makes me think of Danny for some reason. Anyo...
A Week in LondonThat's an Iguanodon of course, the thumbspikes pretty much gave it away. Though it's sorta odd that they have it displayed in an upright position like that.
Guitar TrooperSeconding this if only because it's popular with the target demographic. Personally I'd love to hear any of the various rock/metal covers of various Castlevania/Megaman/etc songs that are out there, but I don't see this as a realistic expectation.
Glowing FigureIf you look at the rest of the pictures over on Akiba Hobby she's certainly not wearing underwear, though there's something going on down there.
I sorta want this figure myself, regardless of not having seen the work it's associated with. The outfit...
Japanese DeodorantThe last time I went to a con I made a point of showering every morning before heading out and liberally applying deodorant. I really really didn't want to be the smelly con guy.
Hydrogen Sulfide Suicides in JapanI was wondering where the hell people were managing to get enough H2S to kill themselves with, then I checked wikipedia:
Hydrogen Sulfide has been used frequently in Japan, created when mixing a detergent with a shampoo. Inhalation of the compound i...
Cyberdyne HALYou'd think a robotics company would know better than to name themselves Cyberdyne, what with the Terminator and Skynet and the destruction of human civilization and all that.
