Many have heard of the Maid Cafes in the otaku shopping district of Akihabara but none like this. Popopure Cafe has food served to hungry otaku by cute little maids but while you chow down on some yummy food, you might notice their big 50" TV with non-stop anime and the assorted anime framed pictures. Definitely artwork you'd rather view compared to the weird European "what-the-hell-am-I-looking-at" so-called artwork littered in the diners and restaurants here. These items are normal in all...

Here's another Gundam figure that came out last week. This is one for the sexy anime girl fans and gundam fans alike. This figure of Lunamaria Hawke from Gundam Seed is part of Bandai's Excellent Model series and as the name states, its an excellent figure. It's a 1/8th scale figure so it stands roughly 5-6 inches tall. I might add this one to my collection as well. Didn't think Bandai did the whole cute anime girl thing but they do and like the Gundam figures, they do it well... Read Full Story
Not too long ago, this simply gorgeous figure of Sengoku Rance's Suzume went for pre-order and she is definitely going to be part of my personal collection. Made by the masters at Kotobukiya, this 1/8 scale figure also is a bit of a cast-off too. Won't be out in the US till late October so I guess I got myself an early birthday present. Check out the pics below and you'll see why this figure is a must have. Read Full Story
Looks as if Sony has created a fuel cell system that is currently still in the prototype phase but looks very promising for future mobile devices. Check out more of this at Engadget. Read Full Story
This looks pretty kool actually. Ed Boon, creator of the Mortal Kombat series recently showed that one of the changes in the series will be to have Batman and Superman in the next game. I would assume this is to compete with Soul Calibur 4's inclusion of Yoda and Darth Vader. Don't expect to do any fatalities though since they might not have them!!! ...Damn, looks like I won't have the honor of decapitating Superman with Scorpion and hear the words "You Suck!" Check out the interview... Read Full Story
Just released last week in the US is this Exia Gundam by Bandai. This work of art is a 1/144th scale figure of the famous Gundam from Japan's top series as of this posting date. Like others in this Bandai line figures, you also get different weapon and hand configurations to pose the gundam in lots of cool ways. Not bad for a $40 Gundam. Read Full Story
As per breitbart.com, for the 27th year in a row, Japan's population younger than 14 years old is very very low. The site mentions a total of young kids is only about 15 million throughout the entire country. This is mainly due to people just being too darn busy with their lives for relationships and child bearing. We see it here in America too. The baby boomers are far more in size than generation X's which are more than people like me in generation Y and so on to the Milleniols (kids... Read Full Story
Earlier in the day there was a 6.8 Magnitude Earthquake that rattled parts of Tokyo. Luckily the quake was centered 100 miles off the coast but it a few people got hurt from falling furniture.

Ever look at the bottom right of my pages and wonder what those little anime clips are? Well back when I first started the site back in 2002 I had them on the top left as just some amusement. I kept them on there because, well, I like them. Every time you refresh you'll see a different anime gif. I added a few more to the mix not to long ago so I hope you like them. Many people use them as their avatars on the forums and blogs so snag use them if you'd like. A great site for a whole... Read Full Story
