At long last, a phone app that weirds me out more than that one where you pinch pimples. I treasure my dumb-phone. (pets it) So innocuous. So boring. Best clock ever.

I am betting that the AR portion of the app was paid for by the phone manufactures.

Opps! Dropped another phone in the tub. I guess I need to buy another phone.

1. Cell phone
2. Bath tub water
3. ???????
4. Profit!

From the article:

...and increase their intimacy with the in-game characters

I wonder if that is a euphemism for "remove the towel". Smile

"In Japan, you can't sell a phone if it's not waterproof. About 90 to 95 per cent of all phones sold now are already waterproof," Panasonic executive Taro Itakura said in an interview at the Mobile World Congress.

Japan, it's not too late. You can still try to get your emasculated excuses for males interested in flesh and blood women. Don't let your elderly overtake your newborns past the point of no return.

We'd miss you.
That's only half the problem. The other half is the emancipated females leaving them to get on with it without interferance. Anyway it's all going well for the Secret Society's plan to take over the nation. Wink

While I think the problem has more to do with the Japanese employment status-quo (employees put in so many hours they are too exhausted to devote their "free" time to anyone but themselves), my impression is things like this are designed to keep certain members of the population out of the gene pool.

and while the game is free to play, users can pay money for random items that will unlock new features and increase their intimacy with the in-game characters.


...and away from RL prostitutes as well!

"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to turn off all electronic devices before takeo-what the hell is that?"

Afterwards, you WILL need a bath.

Hell, I think the App is pretty dumb, but what the fudge guys? Get some goddamn perspective.


Truth.
People want to see pretty pics on their phones, nothing new there.
MiKandi (NSFW) has been addressing a similar niche in America for years.

I don't know which is more sad and pathetic, Japanese otaku or you spewing the same shit all the time. Why so much hate? Did they kill your puppies, kittens and koala bear as a kid?

When I see bimbo female YouTubers with a similar App to make money off their horny teenage subscrubers, I don't think it's limited to Japanese otaku

Nope, no hate just derision and some pity. It's just fun seeing just how ronery and desperate they get for companionship, that they now have 2-D girlfriends to take baths with. It says a lot about the person who would need an application like this. It's amusing, but at the same time you can't help but feel sorry for them.

True, but at least those bimbos are real, I suppose.

Yup reinforcing the misogyny behind the flesh trade of women is infinitely better for men and women than those Japanese oggling cartoons.

You actually think that thats a defense?!

Thats arguably even worse.

Also, lack of self awareness is just mindboggling.
