It says there will be a new anime coming out soon. Wonder if it will show the same old style of buxom women wearing anti-clothing and throwing themselves at the hero like the women in those "Axe" commercials. That's what I want to know (and see).

Surprised to know he's…

Whoa! Slow down here! Since when did this become a personal bash fest on individual readers. Why hasn't the Moderator stepped in to tell everyone to get civil?

I feel bad for the parents, and a little anger at all the negative attitude here. This story doesn't strike me as being nearly as bad as parents leaving their kids to die in a sweltering car while they played pachinko. This seems like a simple laps in attention.

Need…

I feel that "incompetent" might be a little strong, but I think most readers came from countries with higher crime rates and were used to seeing police doing more actively to solve those crimes. Thus, in comparison, Japan's passive methods will appear much more like incompetence.

In the Hawker case,…

If this guy gets only 7 years for killing his sister, and no punishment for dismembering her body, can we make guesses at what will happen to the man in the latest case? The guy admitted killing the woman 2 doors down and dismembering her body. Will he also get…

Body shapes my left foot! School-girls in skirts are a major source of income for all the anime, comics, and porno industry. Those 3 along with all the old men looking up skirts will make sure slacks never see popularity.

The girls themselves will keep with skirts as long as…

Posted in I doubt whether there will be an increase in people wearing them, though. Body shapes determine the people who'll wear slacks, and I think those who like wearing skirts will strongly resist them. at 09:00 AM JST - 27th May

Government wants to "restrict" cell phone usage by kids. thought it was already against the rules to bring or use your cell phone in class. The teachers I know still can't get them away from the kids who use them to play games and send notes, etc. This proposal won't…

Congrats to Kotooshu! Seen him on a bunch of different J-TV shows. he still puts out a soft-hearted, shy boy thing in front of the cameras and the women go gaga for it. Yes its going to be great to see a big hairy foreigner make it to the top.…

The officer should be strung up by the short hairs! He used a passenger's suitcase without consent, then lost it. If that victim had gone on to another country where the dogs are better, then that person would be in an interrogation cell trying to explain how it happened. Which…

I want to wait to see if there is really a regulation against blind or deaf people not being allowed to join gym. But, with a nod to Tanaka and Nessie, We aren't talking about huge open spaces here with lots of padding, but tight confined rooms with heavy objects,…
