Apparently the incest brother-sister loving anime, KissxSis are getting an anime adoption now instead of a bunch of OADs/OVAs.

Personally I love the whole imouto (little sister) fetish thing, and episode 0 and 1 of the OAD was good, but will a season of this fan service anime do well? All I can say is that this is definitely an ero perverted watch!

The official announcement about the series has not been made yet, all we know is that we’re getting one.

Original post from Sankaku Complex.

Notorious erection gripping incest ero-anime Kiss×sis, formerly restricted to a series of OADs and a decidedly raunchy manga, is apparently set for a full TV anime adaptation.

No public confirmation is yet forthcoming, but the publisher has supposedly confirmed the announcement shown in the above cap. The fifth volume of the manga is already set to have another OVA episode so more details will likely accompany that…

Expect a heavily censored TV broadcast with a full swathe of penis gripping ero-action in the DVD extras; just whether the more fetishistic scenes survive the adaptation will be interesting to behold…

I have seen a lot of protesting posters that are against the use of animal fur for quite awhile now, but this one is the most persuasive poster I have EVER seen!

Just in case you guys didn’t know, she is an actress from the new movie Twilight: New Moon.  Go wiki it.

I love how this blog is slowly turning into everything, but an otaku style blog…LOL

Have you ever wanted to play a Visual Novel game on the your way to school, or when you’re just plain old bored?  Now you can with the first official iPod Visual Novel game in ENGLISH!!

The original article is here, and since it’s in Japanese, I can’t read it… well I can kind of read it, but I can tell where to buy this game.  Is there anyone who does? If you do pleas tell me through the comment or send me an email.

Just finished watching episode six of Nyan Koi, and it successfully fulfilled my expectation of the “twin tails” twins (^_^)  I love these twins so much (>-<) Every scene that has them makes me laugh and melts my heart (^///^).

Here are some info on the girls.

Akari Kirishima-

She is the twin sister of Kotone and the younger of the two. She, along with her sister, know that Junpei is cursed. They do not become cursed as they have innate anti-magic abilities, but only for self protection. She is tsundere, and has the ability to sense the supernatural.

Kotone Kirishima-

She is the twin sister of Akari and the older of the two. She, along with her sister, are the daughters of the Buddhist monk in the temple. Despite her gentle and sweet outward demeanor, she is interested in Junpei mainly because of his misfortunes, and can be considered sadistic, delusional, and an obsessive stalker.

Summer of what Nyan Koi if you haven’t seen it yet.  Via wikipedia…

Junpei Kōsaka is a second-year high school student who despises cats and has an allergy to them. It just so happens that his high school crush is Kaede Mizuno, a girl who adores cats. One day, while walking home from school, Junpei kicks an empty can and unfortunately breaks the local neko-jizō (guardian deity of cats). He finds he can now understand what cats are saying, including his family’s own ill-tempered cat, Nyamsus. However, if he does not fulfill 100 wishes from cats, he will turn into a cat himself, and die of his own allergies.

I bought my postcard today for Noah today, and it is ready to be send anytime now! Except today since it’s a Sunday….

(If you want to read what it says, just click on the picture.)

This is probably the longest letter I have written in my entire life…

Normally when I write a card  I would just put Merry Christmas or Happy Birthday on it, since those are the only occasion that needs a card with the with the technology we have now; email, blog, instant messenger etc.

But this time is different, I actually put some effort into it. (^_^) I don’t remember how to write formally though, but it’s for a kid anyway right? it’s the thought that count right?

I have a pretty bad hand writing for a college student I know…

If you don’t know what the postcard is for, read my last post or just click here.

Noah Biorkman

The title state it pretty well…

There is this 5 years old boy in Michigan who have cancer since he was 3, and sadly his condition aren’t getting any better.  His parents thinks that their little boy, name Naoh Biorkman by the way, won’t make it through Christmas, so they asked everyone who are kind enough could send him a card as his last Christmas present.

I don’t really do this kind of stuff, but the story just really touched me.  He only lived for 5 years, and his little life are ending.  I just feel so sad…so as fella otaku/friend/blogger, pleas consider sending him a card wishing him Marry Christmas.

Five-year-old Noah Biorkman of South Lyon will celebrate Christmas early this year.

His parents, Diana and Scott, wanted to make sure he would see the holiday one last time before cancer claims his life. They’ll have their own Christmas this weekend.

Noah was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2007, when he was 3 years old.

He went into remission, but then relapsed in September 2008. His family is not expecting him to make it to Christmas Day.

The media caught wind of the story and now thousands of people from across the country and around the world have sent Noah gifts and cards.

An entry on the Web site Reddit asking for people to send cards is at the top of the list on AskReddit today, with 1,723 votes and 840 comments.

The movement also has a Facebook invitation page with more than 10,000 confirmed guests and wall posts from people in Finland, Sweden, England and Canada.

You can send cards or gifts directly to the family’s home at 1141 Fountain View Circle, South Lyon, MI 48178.

You can also send them through Metro Detroit country radio station WYCD.

The family is asking people not to stop by their home.

Local NBC news station WDIV did a video report on Noah’s Christmas, which you can watch here: WDIV video.

When Noah opens an angel Christmas tree ornament, the reporter asks him what it means to him.

“I’m going to heaven,” Noah responds. “I’m going to be an angel.”
