Depends on your ability to comprehend Engrish. But honestly you can get away not knowing a word of Japanese as long as you're willing to communicate. Key is the will to communicate and friendliness.

It's still Chinese pollutants, fly right over Sea of Japan. Kamikaze ain't stopping these invaders!

Forwarding services like Tenso are useful if you understand Japanese and rather keep your exclusives and points from different retails. Surprised no one has mentioned it. This way you can also buy from online bidding and 2nd hand places like Mandarake, pre-order games from direct vendors, and many other perks. I guess…

I'm not sure if you've played Kancolle but it's got many historical events in the game play. I'm just thinking it'd be a shame if they kept it as a purely fan service or moe anime. I'm not a history otaku but a bit of history would make the show stand out much nicer compared to other shows.

Haha I didn't know Strike Witches caused that sort of issues. How can anyone take it seriously the moment you realize "Wait, they're not wearing pants." and the counter to that argument is "Not embarrassed because it's not underwear!" It's just people trying too hard to make it an issue. I'm just glad and hype about…

Adult anime is simply too limited and not enough budgeted to get good animation on par with standard good quality all age anime. The value of an adult anime comes from the "usability" of said anime, this is why sometimes it feels like even though the animation quality isn't that great, a particular anime is still…

You need to get all the stories about FO4, pre and post release. Oh it's gonna be so good when it comes out. And I hope you totally cover mods in the future Patricia. Also, are you still covering FPS like BF4? Or you've divided the genre between other writers?

Correct. He's actually quite tame in terms of the stuff he's bringing from 2ch to Kotaku honestly. That's a good thing because I can't imagine the shitstorm people will bring if he lay out some of the more ridiculous parts of 2ch. In a sense his articles act like a 2ch matome blog that can get westerners to slowly be…

It's funny because his article are mostly like you said, not trying to tell people about the weirdness of Japan, and yet EVERY SINGLE TIME I see people on his article fall into the exact same trap. Maybe they're just trolling, maybe they truly believes what they're saying, who knows. But I personally find it really…

Outraged at Strike Witches for what? Kancolle will be pretty damn big no matter if people like it or not. If you want true outrage I think it'd be best to have Kancolle make the anime - but follow real history! Just imagine the glorious deaths, the times where one ship needs to "finish off" another friendly ship. Oh…

This is why I'm really against the idea of making eroge into anime. You really need to reach Fate popularity to get the budget to make all 3 original route - which is how you get the fans in the first place because they've enjoyed the whole thing. Also, Urobutch doing a prequel for Kinoko is a HUGE plus a tie up…

I just rewatch the trailer too, didn't see a Maserati emblem. I must have saw it somewhere else then, why am I so convinced... Oh well.

No one should base their purchase decision on any reviewers. Whatever happens to trying it before you actually buy it? What happened to demo and beta tests? If you don't even have time to try put in some effort researching the game, you better have the money waste on shitty purchase.

Hehe, kigurumi can be anything from a mascot to full body clothing that turns you into character. But yeah kigurumi cosplay was where I was drawing the similarities. I think I've only seen like once or twice non-creepy kigurumi cosplay, and that's due to the original art being more deformed/caricatured than realistic.

Oh wow that was painful to watch. They didn't even do an interview? Like they're trying to make this super awkward. To put in perspective, this is like if Japan had invited George Carlin to do manzai in Japanese and nobody understood a word he said but just kinda laughed dryly along. I don't think having Miku sing in…

This is like a more accessible and less demanding kigurumi cosplay. At least you won't sweat yourself to death in these.

This one doesn't look too bad. It's all about getting the right perspective. Make the image flat and it feels more natural, but of course that defeats the purpose of 2.5D.

Yeah, but at least we get both armour for range and melee.

It will be for both gunner and swordsman. There was even one wearing the armour using a Burakidios (or w/e it's called in English) gun lance. Gotta watch the video brah.

Pretty sure I saw they used a Maserati logo for that car, need to rewatch the trailer.
