Latly I came across an article on Sangaku Complex telling us about how dangerous can a Wii be for your nice Plasma TV. Here u can see some pictures of the case explained on SC.

It appearently happend to some rambunctious 2ch Wii user. It have an intresting effect, doesn’t it ?

Last but not least I took the opportunity and dug around a bit for more, especially for videos documenting this failure, or additional Wii accidents and came across some fun ones. Also my friend Marcus was pointing out some to me, thanks for that.

What can all happend on a kids birthday…

And here we get shown why u should wear the strap it have…

Well, its not always the TV that gets it

And this happens, when idiots get bored and wanna make a funny youtube clip^^

So if u wanna get Wii make sure to follow the security instructions and regulary change the straps! Save playing~

a picture of how it could look

Saitama prefecture (home of the anime Lucky Star) is currently considering a proposal that should make the schoolgirls of the prefecture wearing school uniforms which follow the design of the ones found in the hit anime “Lucky Star”. Here are are more pictures, one from the Uniform and one from Lucky Star.

The Uniform

Kagami wearing the uniform

The “Prefectural Anime Tourism Investigative Commission” came up with the idea behind this and also submitted this proposal. They’re a group of professional in the anime/manga industry which thinks when this is taking place it should definitly help to boost the popularity of Saitama for anime/manga orientated tourism. That would result in even more money for the local economey as they already earn with other stuff in this direction. Also they plan more meetings to find futher ways to improve the anime/manga tourism in the region. The final results can be awaited in 2010. The prefecture’s tourism board is non-committal: “We’d like to consider the results of their deliberations for events and so forth.” Well, i personally wouldnt disagree on that proposal ^.^

The reaction on 2ch (maybe also intresting in this context) are however mixed:

Saitama has started up!

Saitama is just too amazing…

These will probably encourage sex crimes.

Aren’t these uniforms unsightly? Their colours are designed for anime after all.

The uniforms are ripped off of ToHeart anyway.

The colours are totally unrealistic.

Whichever way you look at it, these uniforms are from an eroge…

Tourism is for people coming into the prefecture. These look a huge nuisance to students.

Let me just go get my little sister transferred to a Saitama school…

Well, we’ll see what comes out in the end.

Enjoy, Death

Since we spoke just about it in the channel over at Animepath (one of my fansub groups), I thought that I could throw in some impressions here. Just let me foreclose… it was a heaven for the maid fans. Here u have a few pictures:

Those 2 were great, i have tons of pics of em. They had really fun with their role, u can see that when u look up the pictures.

We also had a madio cosplay cafè there.

When one consider it was the first event and was created out of a “just for fun” idea it was a great con. It was great to see all the ppl again u normally just meet when u’re at those events and also I had the chance to snatch some stuff again ;). Got me a japanese limited edition box of Memories (which even included english subtitles) for a good price. Also like I stated earlier, great for me was the big amount of Madio cosplayers. I have a certain weakness for those, and I think my pictures in the gallery shows that. But also fun was their stage programm, which had some bands (not my taste but hell, they werent too bad), a real good comedian dude making fun of serveral anime (buddy, keep it at this level!!!) aswell as a quit funny cosplay competition and cosplayer auction (where u could bid on a cosplayer so he be at your side for some hours). The money they made was used to cover costs and all thats left after that got donated to social services. I hope they make another one next year, maybe with a bit better planning at some ends. I even think of attending it as a “helper” or staffer if u wanna say so. Another thing I think of is maybe making a small scale subtitle workshop to show the ppl how its done and give ‘em also an idea what amount of work and time is involved in fansubs. But thats future music, thats not realism yet, but if we turn it into realism i will surly cover it with foto or video footage ;). If u wanna now see more pictures, u can click on link in the right side bar, its filed under “Pages -> Galleries -> Dokomi 2009” or just click on the link here.

Yours, Death

PS: ah, forgot the link to the page of the DoKomi, here it is: http://www.dokomi.de/de/ and when u wonder what DoKomi stands for, its Doitsu Komiku Market.

Well we all know t-shirts, socks and bags with Super Mario on it. But now we got something especially for the girl with him (this old womanzier). I present: the Super Mario corset

Front

Back

Description from the maker:

A supercute corset made from alternating RARE & vintage Super Mario Brothers and red & white polka dot print fabric, topped off with bias tape flanking the bodice, a delicate sweetheart-shaped bustline, two polka dot ribbon bows, crude contrast stitching and silver metal grommets in the back so you can lace up! FULLY boned for support.

[found on Etsy]

Then we go on with some stuff i found when i was surfing around on Kotaku:

Super Mario Bros: Beat Box Edition

Also there they had another pretty known game as Beat Box Edition:

Street Fighter II Turbo Beatboxing

[found on kotaku here and here]

Originally I intended to present the Mario bento from Kotaku, but as it was sadly removed i filled the space with the movies and think they’re also bring some fun^^. So enjoy the stuff, and thats all for the moment.

I got this catched this pic in a chan and well… it make me thinking… (click on the pictures for a bigger version)

I did some search on FCM and found then some additional infos about on it in the lurkmore wiki:

Four Chan Magazine(FCM or 4CM) is a parody of FHM magazine, originating from /a/. Supposedly a project between Anonymous and Lord Phr0zen, the magazine currently has 6 “issues”, and started being published on Feburary 2007. Although the title of the magazine is “Four Chan Magazine”, only /a/ related events are represented on the magazine.

As for the 6 Issues, here they are:

Its the first “issuse” from FCN and features Alice from Touhou.

Most people will agree with the fact that the 2nd issuse was better then the first one, especially the desutards. :tongue: The cover have Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden on it.

The april issue focus on the wide range of traps. On the cover can u see Jun Watarase from Trappiness!.

The may issue covers the /a/’s obession back then with Tengen Toppa Gurren-Laggan. The cover features Yoko from the Dai-Gurren Brigade.

The june issuse reflect actual events that time. The cover is starring Juliet Nao Zhang from Mai Otome.

The juli issue is a death featuring issuse. On the cover we find White Len from Melty Blood: Act Cadenza Ver. B.

The august issue’s story is about C.C. and Kallen from Code Geass and their pizza habits . The cover also starring C.C. and Kallen from Code Geass.

Also i found this funny one shot parodie of the ActionPro game magazine in the lurkmore wiki. It have only one issue and focuses on Touho games. Vastly inferior to Four Chan Magazine.

Have fun with the stuff. And i must admit i would have fun on a real Four Chan magazin… since it would be crazy, funny and full of great pics .
