Not weird, but hey, you can’t just have wacky all year without some diversion. This is for my former co-worker G. from Frankfurt, and of course for all other readers. Merry Christmas.

Beating up (and off to) Anime Girls

§ December 10th, 2007 § Filed under Japan, Weird § Tagged , , , , , , , § No Comments

Every time I post something weird about Japan, I think “they really can’t get any stranger”. But they can. In very innovative ways. Here’s something… different. Love Death 2, by TeaTime. Hide your children: This is a game where you can beat up and otherwise abuse anime girls.

But it gets worse… This is truly a first-person shooter.

As if we really needed proof that Japan is the land of weirdos and perverts…

And just for the record: I do think this game is wrong.

Celebrities are more influential than ever before, and a lot of people crave to be just like their idols. But if just buying your star’s line of clothes, wearing her perfume, or singing her songs in a karaoke place isn’t good enough for you, then the Japanese have a way for you to bring imitating a celebrity to an entirely new level of creepiness.

Take a look at Yuko Ogura, one of the many pointless and unremarkable teen stars this world has produced:

A bit heavy on the extremly cute side that seems to be so popular in Japan. So a company went ahead and started to sell a face mask of Miss Ogura:

Well, what do you know. With Halloween right around the corner, this product may actually make a lot of sense. Whether the producers intended that is doubtful.
