Synopsis
Today on Boing Boing tv, a sneak peek inside TOKYOLOGY, a new documentary exploring contemporary Japanese pop-culture hosted by Carrie Ann Inaba. Oh, what adventures await: sneak behind the scenes at a Japanese Rock TV show that pretends it’s shot in Los Angeles, cruise Harajuku, go clubbing with goth girls in Shinjuku, shop for shoes with Lolitas, experience the madness of the Tokyo Anime Fair, visit a video game company, browse the streets of Akihabara, and meet anime creator Yoshitoshi Abe.
Impz says: A video about Yoshitoshi Abe is always awesome. It’s only a short excerpt of the full documentary, but looks interesting too. It’s worth your five minutes. In addition, Vampire Knight will not be blogged this week, as Reverse Vampire wants to blog on it. She will do it when the subs are out.

WE DON’T NEED VAMPIRE KNIGHT! Nah, jokes, Impz you know I don’t like it and now that I’ve practically told the world, I should expect a lot of people (particularly fans) trying to kill me soon.
Oh and I watched Neo Anqelic w/e btw and it was great 
Even though this has nothing to do with the topic >_>
Argh, so sleepy, I might watch the video tomorrow. Looks interesting though

*kills blissmo and re-watches Vampire Knight - 5 because the anime is so awesome!
Sorta looks like Jonathan Ross’s Japanorama. That law about the old electronics is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard all day.
otou-san added these pithy words on May 08 08 at 8:33 amWell it all seems very colorful, but I recognize a motif of USA-wannabes..
BTW, the video about the comicon made me realise why so many american see their animation and comics as superior to the japanese: The convention seems very much focused about american culture and products with only a little spot about anime culture. I suppose the american culture is alot more socially supported than any other culture. unfortunately most of the world think so as well…
Honesty, it irritates me quite a lot, as well the fact that japan accept this perception.
