Christmas in Japan is more like Valentine’s day than it is about the birth of a carpenter who was tortured and killed for simply saying that people should start being a little nicer to each other.
And for the otaku in Japan it’s more than a little creepy. Due to our natural [...]

No Comments » December 5th, 2011 The Otakuologist If you’ve ever wanted to know how the Japanese view the otaku lifestyle while learning how to use a bidet, then boy, do I have a video for you to watch.
It is actually quite interesting to watch. The video is called “Washlet & Japan Vol. 1″ and the pretty little mascot is named “Refreshing Angel Washlet [...]
December 1st, 2011 The Otakuologist Watch out, otaku. While it hasn’t happened here in the states yet, at least not that I know of police in every prefecture in Japan conducted a raid, looking for illegal anime uploads.
Among some of the titles uploaded:
Bakuman

November 29th, 2011 The Otakuologist Okay, so maybe he’s not an otaku, per se, but George Toman is still pretty lucky.

I always find it hilarious that a people so caught up in ‘not going against the crowd’ could loosen up so much and create some of the funniest commercials on television (or on the internet as the case may be).
June 26th, 2011 The Otakuologist Today we’re going to start a new feature here at The Otakuologist. Every week I’ll post a top ten list on things that I (and hopefully you) like, dislike or just want to share with other otaku on the web. I call it “The Otakulist” and the first entry is the top ten otaku blogs [...]
June 6th, 2011 The Otakuologist Thanks to Japan Sugoi for leaving a comment and turning me on to this item.

I don’t know this either and I SO should!
Now there’s a Cosplay fan-atic!
She looks great, no idea what it’s from of course.

I’m gonna hesitantly guess Black Butler? Maybe Soul Eater?
Maybe Final Fantasy?
