Chuunibyou Onahole

So some time back a member of AA brought up the subject of "onaholes" and which one in particular they should buy. The subject was a small joke and most AA members laughed about it and some even considered it - including me. Well I wasn't until this wonderful topic came up: Rikka Takanashi, also known as "that weird girl from that popular anime called Chuunibyou", has got her own Onahole. Due to the discretion of AA, we ask you be older than 18 (or whatever is legal in your area) before you go Googling these sex toys. Although in legal terms, this can't be exactly Rikka due to copyright and other legal rubbish, the character on the box sure does look like her. The only thing I will warn you guys before buying one of these - it could potential damage your wrist muscles and cause strain... Good luck!

The animation studio Production I.G is collaborating with the global luxury car manufacturer Mercedes Benz on an original anime short, presenting Mercedes' "Next A-Class" campaign. The six minute short will debut on Saturday, take place in Tokyo set in the near future, and feature three respective original protagonists. The three protagonists go on a high-speed pursuit in the new A-Class car, after a target that has not yet been reveled. The anime will be advertised on Mercedes' official Japanese website.
I.G and Mercedes Benz are planning to continue the collaboration in December.



The anime will be directed by Mizuho Nishikubo and animated by Kazuchika Kise. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto designed the original characters and the music was handled by Kenji Kawai.

Noboru Yamaguchi admitted to surgery

To those unfamiliar of who Noboru Yamaguchi is exactly and what he does let me give you a brief history lesson: Zero no Tsukaima (aka. The Familiar of Zero). That's right, creator and author of the original novel has once again been sent to hospital to have more surgery and apologized to fans who were excited for the ex-release of the final novel in 2013. He stated: "...to continue writing when his health returns "no matter what," and thanked everyone for the words of encouragement. "

Yamaguchi was admitted to hospital after advanced-cancer was found. The hospital originally said the cancer was inoperable and that nothing could be done; fortunately though whole having another unrelated operation, they noticed the Cancer had gotten smaller and it could be possible. The same year in august he announced the operation was fine and he was okay; although the cancer still remained a mystery. He returned to the hospital late last year and spent most of Christmas there to recover as he never felt 'right' after the surgery. However he had since left and was planning to resume work on the novel until this had happened. Yamaguchi plans working on the final story ark of Zero no Tsukaima after his release from hospital and have the book finished soon. We wish him the best of luck.

Japanese Football Hooligans Run Amok in Shibuya

Japanese football fans have been vehemently condemned online after blocking traffic and clambering over cars at Shibuya's famed scramble crossing in a broad, unyielding line this week. The mad crowd were witnessed jumping on top of a taxi and engaging in various other raucous activities. This case has been compared to common European football thuggery more than the usual reserved football support in Japan.



The police has also been criticized for failing to arrest them and attempting to claim that they “were clearly not Japanese.”

New Evangelion 3.0 TV Advert being aired!

While the last few adverts from Evangelion have been a close, and if not chart topping hit with almost 12.8% of households viewing the advert; this one had some legend to live up to. The advert has been released since the 17th of November and has been raking in hits. Fans of all things Evangelion should be pumped for the release of this to Blu-ray.



Additionally, this past weekend Evangelion 3.0 earned 1,131,004,600 yen (about $13,913,200 USD), breaking Japan's highest weekend box office this year. Selling 443,408 tickets for 648,383,550 yen ($7,976,200 USD) on Saturday, and 358,356 tickets for 482,621,050 yen ($5,937,000 USD) on Sunday, it overall sold 771,764 tickets on 224 screens.
The previous record holder was the live-action Brave Hearts Umizaru film, which opened in theaters during the 14th-15th of July.

As a final bit of bite sized news - the official name of the 4th instalment of Evangelion has been released yet we're still waiting for an official English subbed version. Any Japanese translators here want to give it a guess on what the next movie will be called? Shin Evangelion Gekijō-ban (シン•エヴァンゲリオン劇場版).

Not many interesting things happening this week to be honest, took a while to gather reasonable articles.

* - Happeh - Nov 19, 2012

I felt it took awhile to get some good articles; hate writing about boring rubbish. :3

Also, it's my turn to choose a series highlight next time! XD

* - Rakshasa - Nov 19, 2012

Yeah, forgot to ask you earlier today 😊

* - Hentai - Nov 19, 2012

Looks good guys, as always a good read. Make sure you keep them coming. Gives me something to look foward too. ^_^

Uh, make sure your images are PNG's so you get the transparent background, that darker shade of grey is a tell-tale sign.

It was some encoding problem that always cut off half the text.

And what shade of grey do you speak of? I'm using all of Tas' original layout, looks normal to me :|

Appears normal to me :| But I'll think about rendering them before the next issue.

* - Voice - Nov 20, 2012

I have a question.
How in the fuck is the Zero no Tsukaima LN still going on? does that mean it's POSSIBLE for the anime to continue? Or did the anime just not include all of the story and choose to wrap up early? That fucking confuses me.

The Anime ended on the 4th series but the books are still going.

Nice issue as always. Keep on going.

Now that the generic stuff is out of the way, I shall..

Wait, that was it.

Edit: I got mentioned it seems. Thanks for telling people how my thread died, now it'll get a proper burial.
