- Low-key lesbian relationships in A Centaur’s Life. This show lays it on pretty thick when it comes to race relations, but lesbians are just part of the scenery.
- Neo Yokio premieres today, and it’s apparently just as bad as we all expected. On the flipside, Mike Toole’s review of the show is downright hilarious.
- Small Buildings of Kyoto is part zen, part design inspiration, and part architecture porn.
- What are you planning to watch this fall anime season? Here are the Yatta-Tachi team’s top picks. Find your own at Anichart.
- Go For It, Nakamura!, a cute BL manga with a vintage feel, is getting licensed with Seven Seas Entertainment. I’m aware of and promoting this title because I saw a scanlation of its first chapter, making me wonder if partial scanlation can be a good thing (but that’s a thought for another time).
- Cosplay as a Nazi, get banned. Honestly anime fans aren’t idiots and I haven’t seen any Nazi cosplay in a couple years. There are some great anime that take inspiration from Nazis (Hellsing, Mobile Suit Gundam) but they’re off the cosplay table for now.
- Why is Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino so hit or miss? Ogiue Maniax addresses the director’s relentless focus on the big picture.
- One year later, Pokemon Go is still big in Japan. Especially among older people! I’m still playing but I feel like the craze has died down. (HT Zoe).

I read the whole Toole review earlier this week, but have you read THIS review?

“Viewers may check out the show for the art, but if they stick around it will be because the satire resonates with their experience of life in New York.” It’s like trying to convince native New Yorkers like me to give it a shot :|
If I ever decide to review this, watch me be like “YO THIS IS THE GREATEST ANIME EVER BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT MY NY LIFE”
Personally I think there is a place for scanaltions, partial ones. As well as for torrenting some things.
For instance, I always torrent an album I’m interested in first. If I like it, then I go to Amazon and buy the MP3s. If not, well, it gets deleted. This allows me to not waste my money and, at the same time, has me buying more music than I otherwise would.
Pokemon’s predecessor, Ingress is still going strong as well after 5 years. It’s not too surprising that Pokemon Go still has a fanbase.
