    I demand an answer!

    Don't you mean to say 5/15 or 10/15? Because the last row is pretty clearly white women. lol Unless you're saying that they look like blonde-haired, green-eyed Asian princesses to you. In which case, I just don't understand how your visual cortex communicates with your temporal and parietal...

    Ringetsu PC Game Translation Project (t-e-n-t-a-t-i-v-e!)

    I'd prefer to do it myself than to use a program. No one has yet to create an automated script which is even halfway decent for 日本語-->English or vice versa. We had this discussion a while ago in one of the higher-up forums here on A-O when somebody asked the community how reliable BabelFish was...

    Ringetsu PC Game Translation Project (t-e-n-t-a-t-i-v-e!)

    I wrote a long thread. Way too long. Let me do the short version for now. THIS IS NOT A PROMISE! In fact, I may cancel this project at any time and will almost certainly not be able to partake in this project by mid-late summer. Bidirectionally bilingual speakers of Japanese and English are...

Comic Mujin 2009 05? And while I don't recognize the authors on the top center or top right, HOT DAMN does...

    Infection 3

    From the HCG pack. From what I can see, if you buy the game, you don't get this. :( Maybe you do if you beat it all the way? But in any event, the only way I know of to get these pics is to rip the .gra file, ........... which is probably not kosher even if you did buy the disc. -_-; Sigh. When...

    Infection 3

    Okay, to explain this, we've got to go to the opening scene of the game: a rock concert. XD Wataru's attending a rock concert late at night and (for reasons I couldn't completely understand >_>) he and the other members of the audience can hear the band members and women fucking backstage...

    Infection 3

    This is about my favorite story arc I've explored so far. Read it if you can't speak Japanese. Skip it if you can (esp. if you can speak it better than I can) or if you lack the patience to read all of this. - Sakun Recurring characters in this story: Wataru = you Yuuho = childhood friend...

    If you guys are interested in this game, you can find more info here: http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72302 I've had a lot more fun with this game than I anticipated. Without going into too many details :nooo: , I've actually replayed certain story arcs rather than just take...

    Infection 3

    What's it about?: the game's about a virus that turns people into zombies. But this isn't just any old zombie-rus. :p This one is transmitted sexually. It's an STD zombie virus. lol Furthermore, what it does is not only turn you into a zombie, but into a sex-crazed zombie. If you're a girl, you...

    I demand an answer!

    That's the thing, though: Japanese people aren't all that yellow. (Matter of opinion! ^^; I'll admit! So let me rephrase: I don't think the Japanese who I've seen on TV or known in real life are all that "yellow.") They're really, really very fair. I mean, yeah, duh, they're still genetically...

    All good points! But I think if you take a second look at anime, you'll see that brown tends to be the default hair color for women, not black. Or at least that's what I've observed. O_o

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    It's a remake, but not like Dragonball Z. This is like a real remake. It's by the same studio and with most of the same voice actors, but every scene has pretty much been redrawn (different angles, different stylings). It's not a touch-up of the old cels like DBZ's remake is from what I...

    One of my favorite fetishes is male-to-female transformation. Not futa! But a full transformation in body and -- preferably eventually -- in mind as well. Basically, stories where the dude discovers he's a girl, is shocked, but eventually comes to like it and doesn't want to return to being a...

    I demand an answer!

    I'm actually really very confused by this question, since I'm so used to recognizing the difference between Japanese anime-style girls and Caucasian anime-style girls. If what you're getting at is "why do even the Japanese ones look Caucasian," then yeah, red's got the answers for you. It's not...

    Sekiguchi Hiroki - 彼女の啼き声 (Kanojo no Nakigoe) (sample only)

    The thing is, I can read 90-95-99% of any given eromanga without a dictionary, but translating it into English that (a) sounds natural for the English language and (b) preserves the true flavor of the Japanese meaning is a very time-consuming thing for me because of what a perfectionist I am...

    Sekiguchi Hiroki - 彼女の啼き声 (Kanojo no Nakigoe) (sample only)

    It is really nice in my opinion. It made it into my gold folder, which is very difficult to do if I do say so myself. The reasons it made it in are its great art, great story, and great re-read value. One of the hottest stories in the book is the one towards the end where the school nurse (a...

    Well, everyone who's commented so far has probably not been interested in guro. The response might be different if some of A-O's fans of guro were to watch this and give feedback. *shrug* But it's not even really all that guro: it was just piercing, after all. What bothers me about piercing...

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    No, sorry. The show is easy to find both illegally as well as legally with English subtitles. Sometimes the fansubs come out after the legal subs come out, depending on which fansub group it is that we're talking about. If you want to watch this, it should be easy for you to find it either way.

    Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

    I watched episodes 3, 4, and 5 recently. Episode 3 was the same as the original series' Episode 1 (or maybe Episode 1 + 2, I can't recall). It was when Ed and Al go to Lior, meet Rose, take down the bad priest dude who's using a sorceror's stone fake he got from Lust, etc. I thought the...

    Mizugi Kanojo: blah. Doesn't even come close to the book. The Milk Junkies artstyle, while slightly toned done, really takes away from Bosshi's unique artstyle in his drawings. To use your guys' scale, 3/5. Bakunyuu Maid Kari: animation wasn't impressive, and most of the story wasn't...

    What sex do you wanna be?

    The thing is, there's a difference between asking if you want to be in a girl's body and if you want to become a bonafide girl. A lot of you have said, "I don't want to become a girl because then I would have to do it with men! Yuck!" And I agree, as a fellow man, that that sounds really...

    It's only Part 1 of 3, and they said that they're not planning to release Part 2 (or Act 02, as they call it) independently. In other words, Act 01 is all you get for now, and the next time we hear from these guys it's either going to be never (which at this point thankfully seems unlikely!) or...

    Umekishi - Heroic Mania (samples)

    I forgot to mention, my favorite story in this book is the one which has the 4th, 5th, and 6th sample pictures. It's a story about an undercover cop who is trying to bust an operation involving a 電子ドラッグ, or "Electronic Drug." It's a computer virus which, unlike conventional drugs, is downloaded...

    Umekishi - Heroic Mania (samples)

    Umekishi is a great artist for fans of girls with big boobs but softly-drawn faces, sort of like Bosshi or Jingrock, but unlike those artists Umekishi seems to have gone largely unnoticed by the English-speaking fanbase so I thought I'd use this opportunity to share some samples with you both of...

    They have dictionaries that are in alphabetical order, Ceewan. They're in Japanese alphabetical order, but that's the point. The order for commonly-used letters is something along the lines of: あいうえお かきくけこ さしすせそ たちつてと なにぬねの はひふへほ まみむめも や ゆ よ らりるれろ わ   を      ん I'm typing that from memory so I...

    Well, it was like the snowball effect. Once I made the decision to look at the doujin cover, it followed that I indeed did look at it.

    Tell that to a Japanese guy and he'll say you're the lucky one. Plural S? One dog, two dogs. Subject-verb agreement? I am, you are, he is. More than three categories of verbal stems?

    Well, I mean, I look at it this way: Do I like amputee girls in hentai? Not really. I'd say it turns me off. It definitely turns me off when it's guro, like if they show the girl becoming amputated by a mad scientist or something. I think it's unethical and dyserotic both. If it's a picture...

    As am I. For the longest time, on both sides of the ocean, there has been a stigma associated with non-Japanese attempts to reproduce Japanese otaku products. Anime, oekaki and other fanart, and manga are the ones that come to mind, but even the idea of an American trying to start a hentai...

    Japanese sex toys

    I doubt it helps significantly, because I think they've designed the perfect product: - if you use the lube, that's all the moisture the gel-foam needs to die after 50 normal uses - if you don't use the lube, the friction of the human penis against the gel-foam probably creates...

    Japanese sex toys

    Well like I said, even if it was cheaper and readily available for purchase at most American pharmacies, I don't think I'd purchase one because they sound addictive. Seriously!
