Who Wants to Make an H-Game?

smp03.jpg

ANN reports (or reported about a week ago) that Leaf, a Hentai Game maker, has been forced to release the source code for four of their games, including ToHeart2 XRATED:

This was because Leaf had used the XVid video codec inside their games. XVid is licensed under the GNU Public Library (GPL). When software using GPL licensed code is released to the public, the GPL requires that the source code be made available to the programs users. For a ¥600 shipping and handling fee, Leaf will ship a copy of the code to anyone who requests it.

Quite a loophole, eh? So for about $5 (probably in Japan only), you can get a whole Hentai Game engine! Personally, I’d prefer the source code to Disgaea 2 (XRATED?). Some of the games I’d create with the Leaf Engine include:

  • Choose You Own Adventure: Space Ninja!
  • Zork Remake
  • River City Ransom: Sauna Simulator!
  • Doraemon XRATED

On second thought, maybe it’s better if I don’t get the souce code…

Anime How-To: Rip Audio From Video to MP3

Sanada Computer.gif

In my next installment of Basugasubakuhatsu Anime how-tos, I demonstrate how to rip audio to any video source and encode into an MP3 file. This is similar the process I use to rip the OP and ED from all the anime that I review.

I usually use a different audio editor, but since I want to make these how-tos accessible to everyone, all of the programs in the tutorial are free and open source.

If you find this tutorial helpful, or have any questions regarding it, please let me know in the comments section. You can also send me suggestions on future anime how-tos, since I’m always looking for new ideas.

Shinigami no Ballad is the other 6-episode anime that replaces Hantsuki in the same time slot. It seems like a good choice to follow Hantsuki, since this anime is also about death. Morbid? Yes. Entertaining? Read on to find out!

Expenses Poll

New Poll: Monthly Spending on Anime, Manga, J-Pop, Etc…

Since the votes have pretty much stopped on the last poll, I’ll call it closed. Fuji-nee is the winner with 28% of the vote, with Ilya in 2nd place and Ayuki a close 3rd. It seems that I and the Ayuki Alliance have failed… Though I can see the appeal of Fuji-nee…

The next poll question is: How much do you spend monthly on Japanese media? This includes anime, manga, j-pop, figures, etc.

Since I started Basugasubakuhatsu, I’ve been buying more and more stuff. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, my bank account doesn’t like me anymore. I haven’t hit rock bottom yet, but it’s only a matter of time ;).

Credit for the idea goes to Problematic‘s post in the forum about manga spendings.

Robo-Meteru Meets, Greets at Kitakyushu Airport

Robo-Meteru

A robot version of Meteru from the popular manga and anime, Galaxy Express 999 has been installed at a Kitakyushu Airport in Japan. According to Akihabara News:

This Me-Teru robot measures 1m70 and can respond to 200 airport releated questions.

Questions I’d ask her include:

  • So, do you come here often?
  • Why are you so pale?
  • WHERE ARE YOUR LEGS!?

I’m all for anime-inspired robots, but is it too much to ask for a fully functional Chii from Chobits to do my every bidding?

New Section: Anime MP3s and Ringtones

REC.jpg

I just added a new section to this site: Anime MP3s and Ringtones. The ringtones are in MP3 format too; I just thought I’d explicitly state what they’re for.

Whenever I review a new anime, I like to rip the OP and ED so I can listen to them whenever I want. I also occasionally make ringtones for my phone (currently I’m using Waltz from Honey and Clover). I figured I’d offer them here too, just in case anyone wants to download them. I’ll be adding more MP3s and ringtones as I get them.

Right now I’ll call this an experimental thing. If I get sued or if my bandwidth gets totally sucked up, I’ll have to take down the mp3s. I don’t have the resources to fight the man. But for now, enjoy. And if you anticipate yourself listening to them more than once, please download and save them to your computer.

At long last, a group by the name of “Anime-United” has decided to fansub Tactical Roar. Was the wait worth it? Or is Tactical Roar an anime best left unsubbed?

The Anime Jiggle Counter’s Real-Life Counterpart…

I’m sure you’ve all heard of ADV’s “Jiggle Counter,” a special feature in certain anime DVDs that counts the number of times a female character’s breasts, well… jiggle. Sometimes, the anime laws of physics are quite interesting in that regard.

Jiggle.jpg

A new brand of sports bra called Shock Absorber has a flash site up that simulates how much your bust will jiggle given a cup size and activity level. Mine is probably an A… You can view the jiggle all the way from an A cup to a G (which I thought only existed in anime…). The screenshot I’ve taken is in wire frame mode, but the default mode is NSFW, unless bouncing nude breasts are normal at your workplace (in which case, can I send you my resume?).

Though I admire the sheer programming knowlege that went into this, I have a feeling not one bra will be sold as a result of this. Rather, I think this is a challenge to all innovators in the anime field. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a breastier, jigglier patent than this flash animation. Can you do it? The fate of the world lies in your hands…
