Wanna be part of, and I quote “a professional quality multi-author website (blog) on Japanese Entertainment culture“? Sadly this is not an annoucement for job vacancies at THAT or Sea Slugs!, but rather for a new site spearheaded by an associate, whose identity will remain a secret for the time being. If you’ve always wanted to strut your stuff but at the same time unwilling to go through the nitty gritty of setting up your own blog, here’s your chance to do so now!

Also, before you start to looking away, do take note that you will be compensated! That’s right, the admin is providing some form of remuneration for your efforts, so you have absolutely no reason not to try it out.

Sounds like a great idea to me, though I just hope this doesn’t spark an unhealthy trend for those already in team blogs to start asking their bosses for payment Head over to Oi, Hayaku! for further details.

Never thought I’d see the day someone use Bleach to work on their assignments wwww

I recently got an email by a certain Dirk Haas from Brussels who’s doing a research as part of his thesis on the perceptions of what people have on anime depending on their culture. Sounds interesting enough. Here’s the rest of his message:

I ask you now if you could “lent” me twenty minutes of your time, to improve the number of Asian responses I got so far. I would be very grateful to you. Furthermore, I started the research a month ago, so the time I got to conduct the research is dwindling, and I would want (have to) start calculating the results, and write the thesis. So I don’t have the time anymore to put up some links and wait for responses. That’s why I ask you here if you could just visit my website, and respond to the questionnaire
which is displayed there.

There you have it folks. If you have the time to spare, do try it out yourself, as it not only helps our fellow otaku friend here, but it also tests your memory and analytical abilities as well ^^
