Sweet! Boomslank's "Zero Frame" and "Ronin" shirts get reprinted

Listen up, people; our pals at Boomslank have decided to reprint two shirts recently. In case you missed out on purchasing their "Zero Frame" and/or "Ronin" shirt, the two apparels have returned to their store. Best of all, the former has undergone a fancy new change, which'll please anyone who's interested in owning the group's mecha-themed shirt.


Compare to the group's previous "Zero Frame" shirt, the robot gets a new upgrade and the pilot's comrades decide to check out the awesome mech. All in all, the addition of the extra characters help make the design even better than before. Also, the extra detail to the machine contribute to the Second Generation's sexiness.


If you're interested in purchasing the two shirts by Ai-Fi's creators, you can get them at Boomslank's Website. Since I'm a fan of both robots and samurais, I might have to grab both designer shirts while they're still hot.


Sweet! Boomslank's

Watch Japanator Stream some Japanese games

Watch me play Samurai Warriors 4 on the Playstation 4 tonight at 9PM Central DST via Twitch. It won't be on the usual Japanator Twitch account (which will broadcast all Japanator streams in the future) but will be on my temporary Japanator Twitch account: redjapanator


Watch me talk about anime and the game I am playing. I will also give life advice that you definitely should not follow or take seriously. Hope to see y'all there!

New My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Zoku CM is here with more sour-faced looks





The commercial for the second season of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU is here and boy, the ever anti-social unlikable main protagonist Hachiman looks as anti-social as ever. Looks like there's a new female lead character in this new season named Kaori Isshiki to be voiced by Ayane Sakura (Natsumi in Non Non Biyori, Shimakaze in KanColle).



The new season will air on April 2nd, 2015 in Japan and I can't wait to see more of the cynicism and harem antic, two things that I kind of like together. I'm weird, okay?

Week Ender - PA Works Edition

PA Works is a studio that has had great success as of late with their original anime Shirobako. That wasn't the case with their previous works since their last hit, Hanasaku Iroha but they've been hitting it out of the park with their latest anime about an anime studio who has been trying to make their comeback. Who knew that them making an anime about making anime and themselves would be so successful?



Well, this weekend's Week Ender is about PA Works and they've got some good endings in there. Well, I have a couple that I really like so I'll just throw those in with some others. Enjoy!

Check out Animator Expo's adorable ghost short

If you had a rough day today. then Animator Expo's 15th short might be the thing to lift your spirits. Not only that, Shigeto Koyama's (Diebuster's Mechanical Designs) Obake-chan piece takes the concepts of ghosts and changes it from scary to cute. Instead the animation using the eight-minute time frame to tell a whole story, we're treated to a series of skits that sets up for some small laughs.


Besides the cute jokes, Obake-chan's other strength is how the team utilizes a very simplistic layout for the animation. The light brown background feels like it was done on light brown paper and the character's white lines help compliment the piece's ghost theme. Of course, the unexpected surprise at the end was priceless as well.


Now that we've passed the halfway point in the Japan Animator Expo project, the next 15 shorts are certain to bring joy to our lives during the Spring 2015 Anime Season. Then we can look forward to a relaxing summer in the next few months.
