Genki-Den
[Japanese flash animation special!]
Continuing our programme of nifty stuff we found out there, here's some animation. And since you ask, we used to hate all Flash movies, at least, before they went all folk-art and hence at least potentially brilliant, or in some cases unstoppably craptastic. Then at the same time, the Japanese animation contingent began firing out beautiful, pointless, charming/evil post-kitsch work that genuinely made it worth waiting the full 28 seconds to download, 28 seconds (mind you) that busy young executives like us can barely spare.
So as part of this Apocrypha microfestival of JFlash we confess that none of the links are new new new, but they will no question enhance yr day & doubtless have a longterm impact on... well, you'll see. The right-clicking starts here:

The horror! Turn up the volume.

The beauty! Volume still up?

J-Pop-themed cat-fucking. ASCII not dead, we've noticed.

By the same author. And with similar concerns, at length.
yoga.tripod.co.jp/flash/kikkomaso.swf
Standard issue homoerotic squirty-soy-fish-head-man romp.

Painfully slick line-art action. Not, however, funny.
For a book introduction to other related good stuff (! death to lame soft-porn manga !) we would very very much recommend the real deal viz, the now-venerable Quigley's Comics Underground Japan. Seekers after truth should go ahead and buy this book and turn to the page marked Future Sperm Brazil. Thank you.
