Okay, what nerd* actually commented about the "glaring" mistake about the plot they describe being for Hokuto no Ken 2 instead of 1? I love seeing a comment like that on Vanity Fair of all places. Ah, otakudom.

Then don't read The Legend of Koizumi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Koizumi.


mmmm... Shocked

maybe I should day anime + U.S political forum discussion, cause that's where I got the quote.

And didn't someone recently, from Japan, quote Kenshiro?

Let's all just hope Palin doesn't learn of Metal Wolf Chaos...

She was already in a Comic Book...sorta.

If only Palin knew that power without perception is virtually useless and therefore of no true value.

It was one of my Twitter followers. They were only following my orders! I wish everyone else did too. Sad

For those curious about this impersonator Fist of the North Star blog that is no longer in existence (because Kenshiro killed it per his upholding and enforcement of the Hokuto law), you may view screenshot captures of the post that the Vanity Fair article makes mention of here:

I know that it listed "Toki" as the blog's author. But given the circumstances--impersonating Hokuto Shin Ken, hubris, disregard for the lives of others--I'm thinking the one responsible was actually "Amiba."

Does this mean we'll see a reference to the series on Family Guy, too?!

And it seems that First of the North Star blog had some pretty obscene pro-Palin rants. Whoo...

Well said sir... If you hear some of her comments, you may already be dead.

We all know Obama's an alien from Namek! Otherwise where's his birth certificate! Rolling Eyes

Oh and speaking of anime and politics... I'm vaguely reminded of this Bush ad from 2004...
