Then who has bad taste?

Nobody really.

Japanese fans never get enough of Evangelion merchandise. The latest Evangelion-inspired product produced by Premium Bandai, Bandai's official online store, is a set of six spoons featuring the angels (No.3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10) on the handles and six cranberry-flavored jellies shaped the angel's core. The angels' faces are also featured on the lids of the jellies. The store has started accepting pre-orders for the set for the customers in Japan today on September 13. The retail price is 3,980 yen (about US$51.18).​

Shoutout to Articalys for pointing this out.

This reminds me of the State spoons collection my grandmother had and my mother inherited. Except that its like a million times cooler.

Like it or not, this is the future of anime merchandizing.
Companies have to make money on animu somehow and figurines/jelly spoons/cafes are a good way to supplement it. Its an interesting dynamic. This media mix stuff and all these themed goods keep the industry going. Profit on this stuff must be absolutely insane.

It's a real bargain at only a measly 3,980 yen (about US$51.18)!

That's roughly half a BD volume or one episode of anime so in the greater scheme of the otaku lifestyle that's a bargain.

I'd like to see the small enclave of wealthy and obsessive Evangelion fans apparently funding this constant stream of merchandise. These guys are gonna be found mummified under stacks of Mari dakis somewhere down the line.

So after seeing Equilibrium, due to finding out it's one of Urobuchi's favorite movies, I see a lot of that movie in this show. The 'antagonist' looks straight out of the movie(other than skin color) and I wouldn't be surprised if he was a cop too. Hopefully he wrote Gun Kata in there as holy shit I would love to see that animated. I wonder if PP is going to be a love letter to Equilibrium.

I've lost control of my life and up to date on SAO.

It's a lot better than I thought it would be. Though I'm wondering where it goes now.

Why? It's not like it shows anything new, or heaven forbid, some actual footage of the show.

The marketing campaign for Psycho-Pass has been entirely based around dripfeeding information to us at certain times. The previous CMs have all gone live online after they air in the advert breaks on noitaminA that evening. With tonight being the finale of Natsuyuki and Moyashimon Returns they probably want to save the full announcement then.

Marked as private now :( Guess it wasn't supposed to go live until tonight.

Let's see if FujiTV tries to shut me down... :(

Maybe they have an agreement with Fuji TV that it's not supposed to go live on Youtube until just after it's aired on television. I dunno.

It was uploaded by FujiTV. :p

Clearly it was meant to go up when they updated the site tonight after the teaser airs on noitaminA, like it does every week. What happened this week was someone forgot to set it to private while uploading it, because he fucked up probably.

Glass Fleet: The Legend of the Wind of the Universe 21

"I consider myself intelligent but I don't get... none of it." - Anorexic Prisoner Dude

Another epiosde, another round of insanity. From the return of the bow ninjas on Leonardo Da Vinci's AC2 gliders to the
deaths of even more prisoner nakamas and the tears that followed
. Combine that with
Vetti's imminent demise
and this was some truly emotional stuff.

Japs? Japanese doll? This American guy is a bit of a racist dick. Yui not fighting is somewhat disappointing, I was already imagining more
of her friends dieing all around her in battle one after the other
... actually no, it's disappointing because I thought she'd have a more active role than what it seems she'll have during actual fights. The white haired duo will have to make up for it.

Top gun is amazing, I initially disliked the Japanese doll.

In this episode, Panda fails in his quest to find a suitable apprenticeship in laziness and Kana Hanazawa returns in her yet greatest role yet as Mei Mei Panda in this sporting extravaganza.
