Dirrrty Pop doesn't replace Perishable Items-- it simply gives a place for titles that don't really fit into the rest of the column, like Vermilion Pleasure Night.


I was under the impression it was a something for guilty pleasure DVDs or ones that really depended on what you were looking for.

Wow the write-up on Duchess of Busty Mounds was great. Those 2 quotes are freaking awesome.

So, can Bamboo or anyone else verify if these inserts are in the boxed set release or not? Because if they are, I might just reconsider my stance on buying the series.


I can confirm my box had inserts for disks one and two. I am not sure there was ever an insert in disk three.

I believe you are correct. I just checked my Genshiken DVDs and there were linear notes in Volumes 1 & 2, but Vol. #3 only had the Media Blasters catelog inside; no linear notes to be found. Crying or Very sad

You know, one of those lines from "Dutchess of Busty Mounds" sure sounds like a "quote" from the late, great Eric "Easy E" Wright. Cool

Anywho, welcome back Bamboo. Your column has been sorely missed.

As for the hentai reviews, I actually look forward to them as they tend to be (IMO) the most entertaining part to the column whereas the rest tends to be more informative. (Not that this is a bad thing)

The language was a little racy for the hentai review-- that too may change in the future. I kind of just want to see what the response to it will be, and I'll judge things from there.

I don't mind the language it wasn't all that bad, I laugh at a couple of different things, it's good to see shelf life. I don't mind the Hentai (I dont' like in reality) titles being review as long as there is anything worse then the cover.
Till next time,

I think that with the current environment (anime in the mainstream media) hentai reviews would prob not give you a good rep and may be counterproductive.

Strawberry Marshmallow does have character development thru the series with a touching ending imo.

I'm still miffed that Karas was done as 2 movies for its Region 1 release and not as a 6 ep. OVA like its original release. I think that it was better that way.

I know that most of the users here love to read your hentai reviews, Bamboo, but I won't mind if you discontinue them. Since ANN doesn't list the hentai releases on the Releases section anyway, I don't see why you need to review them. There's plenty of bad anime out there that can fill the void the hentai will leave.

Sounds fair to me. From what I've seen, it's only comic relief and never really useful to people who might actually buy this stuff. Then again, I suppose that's intentional?

Notice that each volume in Japan only has 1 episode. The last 3 episodes have not been released in Japan and there is some doubt as to if the last episodes have even been made.

Not to be a buzz-kill, but weren´t the words used in the column a little adult-ish? I know it´s a hentai title, but those quotes even made me feel dirty.

So now ANN is getting "Sanitized for our own protection..."?, what's next, eliminating the hentai entries from the encyclopedia, heck hentai fans are anime fans too

Good thing we still got AoD...
