Mio and Turtle Plushie equals Ultra Cuteness

K-ON!! episode 17

The seventeenth episode of K-ON!! has made a huge impact on me. Or rather, I was blown away by sudden surge of exceptional cuteness, which was produced in collaboration of Mio and a turtle plush doll. Behold the power of this combo. I know it may sound cliché, but this really is the situation when I have to say that it's over 9000 XD

[MAD] The Legend of Koizumi x Durarara!!

Jul 27, 2010

The Legend of Koizumi

I find this very funny! Though, I don't think that all of you will think the same. It's a MAD video combining Durarara's opening song and video from The Legend of Koizumi, which depicts former PM of Japan Koizumi Junichirou as the main protagonist. In this manga/anime, the international diplomacy is settled on the mahjong table and real politicians appear as mahjong master players. Hope this little description will help you to find this video more funny.

Seiyuu Itou Shizuka and Asakawa Yuu partying

Jul 26, 2010

Seiyuu Itou Shizuka and Asakawa Yuu, who work together on anime Amagami SS, went drinking together yesterday after attending an Amagami SS event at Shibuya Theater Tsutaya. They uploaded a few photos from their drinking session on their blogs (Asakawa, Itou). Beer, wine, champagne, cocktails, and what's more, NEKOMIMI! They both look really cute there, and Itou Shizuka's drinking poses are quite cool. By the way, note that Itou Shizuka's blog url name is "beerlover-shizuka". She seems to be a strong drinker XD

They both got home safely ^^
