Pocky

So you're sitting there, about to watch an anime or read a manga, but it seems like something is missing.  You almost feel like an otaku, but you feel like the experience isn't complete.  Well, if you don't have any Pocky on you, you're right.


A long, thin cookie/cracker-type thing cover in chocolate, Pocky is basically like crack for anime watchers.  Sweet and crunchy, you'll always reach for them.  Then, before you know it, they're all gone.  They go especially well with slice-of-life or comedy anime like K-on, Azumanga Daioh, and Lucky Star.

That gleam you see is a sign that these things were sent from Heaven.
I first found out about these things while watching an episode of Please Teacher or Please Twins (I forget which one).  Mizuho Kazami (the teacher) was eating them.  I thought, "those look good.  I wonder if we have those here in America."  One trip to the supermarket later, there they were in the Asian food section.

They did not disappoint.  I always make sure to grab a box at least once a week.  They come in two size; small and large.  If you just can't get enough, grab the big box.

And no, I don't work for the company that made them (Glico, by all appearances).  Just looking to share a good product for the anime watcher, manga reader, or kid in you.  Grab a box today and enjoy.

Anime Hotties: Yaeko Minegasaki

Image
Do you like young professional women?  Do you like women with purple hair?  Do you like Food Wars, but can't find an adult female to drool over?  Well, guess what?  She exists.  Her name is Yaeko Minegasaki. Yaeko Minegasaki isn't that hard to miss.  She's the first REAL threat Soma Yukihira faces in his quest to become a top-class chef.  She an urban planner and, as such, she's the devil. Soma is not impressed. She's a cool, mature woman.  She knows she's sexy and she's not afraid to use what she's got to get what she wants. A confident Minegasaki attempting to turn on the charm. She does lose her cool from time to time.  For example, she gets scared of buckets and plates of food for no good reason. It's like she's looking at a bucket full of death. To be fair, you never know what Soma is going to feed you. Of course, there's the obligatory food orgasm. The build up... ...and the climax. And a small ...

Anime Hotties: Ikumi Mito

Image
Tan, blonde, scantily-clad, and obsessed with meat.  These things all describe Food Wars' Ikumi Mito...or Nikumi as she's called in the manga...or Meat-Meat as the anime calls her.  No matter what you call her, she's the same girl. Ikumi Mito is a master of procuring, prepping, and cooking meat.  She's also a potential love interest for series protagonist Soma Yukihira.  Of all of Soma's candidates, she's probably the sexiest (or at least she dresses the sexiest).  Rarely seen in a full uniform, she's pretty much shirtless 90% of the time.  It's not hard to see where her appeal lies. Up close to Ikumi's..."appeal". However, sometimes her "appeal" is not good enough. "I lost?  Were my breasts not big enough?" She can be pretty competitive. Ikumi meets the competition. Even Soma can't escape her competitive edge. She can also be aggressive. Don't do it Ikumi! And she's unfa...

Anime Cuties: The Girls Of Himouto! Umaru-chan

Image
Himouto! Umaru-chan is an okay anime series with a decent amount of laugh and wacky characters.  Heck, some of them are even kind of cute.  In particular, you have the hot best friend, the creepy admirer, and the overconfident rival.  Respectively, Nina Ebina, Kirie Motoba, and Sylphynford Tachibana. Umaru and friends enjoy a day at the beach. Nana Ebina is the hot best friend.  She's content to live in Umaru's shadow and tries not to draw attention to herself.  She's a hick trying (successfully) to hide her country accent.  One trying she can't hide, however, is her DOA-caliber chest.  Her head tends to smoke when she's nervous, particularly when she's around Taihei. Nana's head smokes a lot... ...and please don't let her get near Taihei. Nana hides her accent well...until she eats good food. The difference between Nana and the others isn't hard to see here. Kirie Motoba is the creepy admirer.  She's an outsider wh...
