- The Japanese Fashion Archive features sartorial choices time forgot from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Maybe the weirdest part of the one I featured here is that it just randomly says “Milking” on the back.
- For some more modern snaps from Japan, Crunchyroll and Otaku USA editor Patrick Macias has been chronicling his vivid, high-contrast photography in a new photo diary called Mondo Tokyo.
- I’ve definitely shared this already in one of the years I’ve been writing Otaku Links, but for the ultimate nostalgia bomb, try 80sanime. Khoda is a professional translator and a fount of knowledge about vintage shows.
- Advice for young anime and fandom conventions. Dave of Terebi Funhouse helped found Anime Weekend Atlanta so he knows what he’s talking about. This post is old but this advice isn’t.
- Everyone at the Verge is at the big tech journalist event of the winter, the Consumer Electronics Show… except Michael, so he wrote about anime. Luckily, it turns out he has good taste.
- A Guide to the Odagiri Effect. Anime UK News quoted my Anime News Network feature for this one, but I actually wrote about the Odagiri Effect here on Otaku Journalist ages ago, too.
- How You Can Read Light Novels Legally in 2017. Thanks to Justin for putting this together; I didn’t realize there were this many places you could go!
- And finally, Today In Anime Is Not As Popular As We Think It Is: Hallmark Says They Did Not Copy Yuri On Ice, Had No Idea What It Is. Oh.

While it’s nice to see YOI fans appreciate diversity, this probably wasn’t the best way to express it. A friend who competes in ice skating & loves YOI told me last night that it’s these kinds of situations that lead her to ignoring fandom.
Oh thank you for sharing the post about legal sources for light novels! I own some that I manged to mainly get from RightStuf, but other sources are so welcome! Love getting more background on an anime based on a LN that I love by getting to read the source material.
I guess I could do lots of google searching to find out, but does anyone know if anyone outside of Japan is writing light novels and selling them via the Kindle store?
