Through Otaku Eyes: Article from World-Largest-Newspaper


photo by geroine

Yomiuri Shimbun(Newspaper) is approved by Guiness Book to have the world-highest newspaper circulation(about 10,000,000 copies daily).

In addition, this newspaper is gathering wide attention by Japanese otaku, as this paper published an article introducing otaku culture.

The important point is that, these article is not like ordinary article written by non-otaku, such as "moe is sweeping in Japan!" I'd like to list some of the titles:

Imouto(younger sister) Moe
Legend of Futari-wa-Pretty-Cure
Our Dojinshi was sold out in Comic Market!

What deep themes they are dealing with! Please think as if, in New York Times, it is discussed how Nagisa and Honoka is moe :-) No other newspapers have this sort of articles about latest otaku culture.

These articles are written by two full-time journalist who are otaku themselves: Fukuda Makoto and Ishida Kanta.

It is disappointing this regular series was finished, however, they are still active in writing otaku-related articles and introducing midnight moe anime.

And now, they started to write otaku articles on The Daily Yomiuri(English paper published by Yomiuri Shimbun).

Here are links to recent articles. Why don't you read them?

THROUGH OTAKU EYES / ’Eva’ rebuilt, but not epoch-making(cache)

To be a good lenient being is to have a philanthropic of openness to the mankind, an cleverness to trusteeship uncertain things beyond your own restrain, that can lead you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something very important thither the get of the righteous passion: that it is based on a trust in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something kind of feeble, but whose extremely special handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.
