I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I'm pretty much done buying nerd stuff in Japan now. I might buy a couple small things but I am big purchased out.

Went into a book off and grabbed something random because it had an English name and it was a super loving hardcore ecchi manga. I have a radar for that poo poo I guess. I bought a random volume of Sakamoto for my friend though because even without knowing what they're saying it's hilarious.

Also, smut for girls generally tends to be right out in the open, but I only found regular guy smut at one place and it was a little off to the side. I think it just shows the buying power of girls.

I can ask the one girl if she'd be willing to scan that Evangelion smut I mentioned earlier.

Well I'm nearly a third into Xam'd now and I'm finding it increasingly amusing that the titular entity hasn't appeared in full since the first episode :munch:.

Is random anime/manga getting a stage play a new thing? There's an Aquarion stage play, I'm not even sure how or why you'd do that.

Doesn't surprise me. A friend of a friend makes a living importing eroge and manga from Japan and reselling them in America at cons and stuff. Yaoi doujins easily outsell everything else in his stock put together and the overwhelming majority of buyers for them are women.

There's been tons for like 2 or so years now, probably longer. I assume it's super cheap productions, but idk why there's a market to watch people lamely act out anime on stage

Nobunaga the Fool had one, I think Kawamori is a dude who pushes for that stuff since he also wrote that particular play?

Idk, I think it's a mix or VAs and others. I just mean lamely because it's not animated and real people can't do 1/10th of the cool poo poo that happens in good anime

True, but VA's in Japan are a bigger deal than they are here, so its probably just a cash-in to let fans see them in person.

Anime musicals have been a thing for a long while. Prince of Tennis and Sailor Moon are the big successful examples that I know of, but I'm sure there are many others.

I wish I had something clever to say.
Just got an email from kick starter. Little witch Academia episode 2 will be shown at anime expo. They're looking to get it to backers around August. It will also be shown in theaters during October in Japan.
