CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Anigao is an interesting fad in Japan. These are models that wear anime girl masks and act like anime girls for an interested photographer, or whoever is willing to pay. In fact, here is one in action:

There's nothing explicit in it...it's just kind of a bizarre moment. D:

Only in Japan.

Also, there's this toy made in Japan that retains its shape no matter how badly you smush it. Here's another video:

I admit, that one is kind of cool.

It's times like this I wonder if Japanese look at some of our toys and products and think "people play with this?" or "they seriously eat this?" or simply "Amerika-jin henna des."

Lol, I'd do that for money. No one can see my face, either

>>The Japanese are weird.

This is news?

PostPosted: **Sat Dec 15, 2007 5:16 pm**

Those pig things are absolutely adorable! I want to get my brother one XD

Yeah... Japan being weird is nothing new, lol.

PostPosted: **Sat Dec 15, 2007 6:31 pm**

One more reason for me to adore the Japanese culture ^^

PostPosted: **Sat Dec 15, 2007 7:16 pm**

Oh man, I SO want that toy.

PostPosted: **Sat Dec 15, 2007 8:16 pm**

That's both adorably kawaii, and yet vaguely creepy, at the same time. Still, I have much respect for good cosplaying (since I've seen a lot of bad cosplaying in my time), and that first YouTube link shows pretty good cosplaying. If someone can do a good cosplaying job, then the more power to them.

Those who like Japan usually go through two experiences:

Love and amazement.

Then one where they get stopped by the police is funnier.

I will give the Japanese this: instead of bumping and grinding, the new dance craze in the US should be Haruhi.

That was actually filmed for a TV commercial.

Really? I'd love to see it.

Am I the only one that thinks the Shimajiro cartoon is really, really cute? Not the little pantless kid, but the tiger.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one.

I'm generally suspicious of any group of people who think it's OK to put mayonnaise, squid, or corn on pizza. That ain't right. >_>;

I LOVE JAPANESE PEOPLE.

It's like, they're dedicated to taking the most childishly enjoyable things, and making them into that thing you always wanted.

Oh wow...that's weird.

So weird I think I could fall over with a case of the giggles.

Giggle. Snort.

Actually that show and G4's Ninja Warrior are both loads more entertaining than any American game show I've ever seen. Really, would you rather see greedy Americans opening briefcases held by bimbos, or crazy Japanese ninja-wannabes making their way through an insanely difficult obstacle course?

Actually, the turquoise ones don't look that bad at all.

To say all Japanese are weird...Is really stupid and stereotypical. Especially how a percentage of them are fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Now the leagl age about being 13 there to get married is unsound. Along with that toy thing..

...I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I'm weird. I believe in Christ. D: I'm sorry I offended you?

But seriously, if you get offended over "weird" stereotypes, you need to get out more often.
