1. Bad news for lolicons

    BBC reports from Australia:

    Justice Michael Adams said the purpose of anti-child pornography legislation was to stop sexual exploitation and child abuse where images of "real" children were depicted.

    But in a landmark ruling he decided that the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did …

  2. DiGiKerot on DVD boxes

    Look at these wonderfuly weird boxes (DiGiKerot himself calls them "obnoxious"). Since I almost never buy limited editions of anything, the only thing in my collection that comes close is the Stellvia tin.

  7. Azuma-sensei on Yotsuba anime

    Gia translates for us the post Kiyohiko Azuma made on the topic.

    First of all, he denies a displeasure with Azumanga the animation. Not that I ever believed the rumors, since it was extremely faithful to the manga and translated the spirit well.
