I mean, yeah Kato had some otaku stuff, but the connection is pretty weak. Then again, I don't know much about how the Japanese media works. All the information I'm getting is coming from the usual Japan Blogs. Well, what I’m saying is it’s probably easier to make the Otaku link with Miyazaki than it is with Kato.

So wouldn't the media have been wiser to attack slasher movie fans instead? And where was the bill to ban slasher movies (compared to the current initiative against 2d lolicon)? Miyazaki had this crippled hand issue and his grandfather died after being the only person supporting him for years. I think even back then the media knew that these things were more probable to have drived him nuts than reading eromanga or watching slasher movies...

Good to hear some statements from you regarding that massacre but all other bloggers I follow are already worrying their heads off whether or not this will revive the the public's distrust and otaku's paranoia that characterized the post-Miyazaki era. I'd love to see your opinion on that side of the issue, too. I know it's always sad when people die and especially when slaughtered so randomly, but this time there might be even more bad consequences, with Akiba as the crime scene and an otaku as the culprit. So when you go to Akiba soon, it might be worth taking the chance and talking to some of the local otaku, asking how they feel about the whole issue... Hey wildarmsheero!

I thought the "moee!" line was a nice humorous touch though! And were you trying to criticize yourself with the "this is awful" line? Anyway, this was definitely spot on, flaming red mass of lyrics and all! I definitely got a good laugh from this one! And uh, nice job on Tina's outfit btw...

Just a quick stab to the kidneys and your victim will suffer so much pain that their throat closes off and they can't scream or yell for help, etc. The only sound they make is when their bodies (now dead do to suffocation since when their throat closed off, air could go neither in nor out) when they hit the floor. Learned it off of some documentary about silent killings and assassins or something like that. Of course, you could also just slit the throat, but that can get messy if you don't know what you're doing, and I highly doubt that this otaku had been trained in using a knife.
