Hunting for Rare Anime Swag in Japan
anime
For the hardest of the diehard otaku in Japan, finding the ultimate limited edition items comes with a serious price, and now that retailer exclusives are all the rage, it's a jungle out there.
― There are two Japanese phrases that describe serious Japanese collectors rather well. Roughly translated they're “Japanese people can't resist the words ‘limited edition’” and “Always buy sets of three. One ...
UQ Holder! GN 5
manga
UQ Holder seems to be establishing a solid rhythm in its fifth volume, and finally coming into its own as reliable entertainment.

Answerman - Why Is It Unusual For Japanese People To Use Computers?
anime
"Oh, you also use computers?" is a common phrase you might hear in anime; why is "using a computer" is still sometimes treated as a hobby in anime?
― Shomik asks: When I was watching Tanaka-kun is Always Listless, which takes place in the present day, as well as playing the visual novel Root Double, which takes place in 2030 (and written a year or two ago), I come across lines like "Oh, you can use ...

Review: Akame ga Kill Collection Two Blu-Ray
anime
Akame ga Kill's second half winds up being kind of a letdown thanks to some mishandled story elements and a misbegotten romance - Rebecca Silverman takes a look.
