Best comment in this thread bar none. I've got the biggest grin on my face after reading this. Tell it like it is.


Yeah of course, anime is special till ya get familiar with it. Laughing

If you refuse to see the originality of any other anime than Redline, that's nobody's loss but your own. There's way more originality out there than you even begin to give the artform credit for.


We say the same about people disillusioned with American studios. Laughing

So just who were they targeting all the loli/moe fanservice titles at then if they were "unaware of otaku"? This smells of job creation just for the hell of it. Maybe they can find a way to sell them health and beauty products like soap, shampoo, and deodorants with product placements in the next round of explicit hotsprings scenes. Laughing

The fact that series will be green-lighted based on how many boobie mousepads they can sell is just plain sad.


You forgot body pillows, Dentsu needs to know which characters fans want to cuddle with.


Also worth mentioning, anime themed rice. In this instance "moe" themed rice.

If your going to sleep with anime themed memorabilia, you might as well eat anime themed food as well. That way you could literally say fans are eating and sleeping anime as well.

Next up, anime or even "moe" themed mouth wash/tooth paste. Maybe.

We all know the first series to do this would be Nisenmonogatari
