He keeps posting, but all I can say, the lead screencap is prettier this time than in the previous instances (e.g. rebar in the face). Can't say anything else, his posts on PreCure are opaque for anyone who's not watching it too. Maybe it's Sailor Moon where Venus bashes …

DiGiKerot on J-books
For those who're into that kind of thing, Beta Waffle has a post up that takes a more palatable view on failures of Tokyopop and how ViZ applies its lessons. I didn't even read what Omo wrote, his title was too clever and my eyes glazed over trying to parse …
