The Attack on Titan live action movie is not very good. It stinks. And the manga’s creator, Hajime Isayama, wants to understand the reaction to the picture. Earlier this month, Kotaku reviewed the live-action version of the popular manga and anime. The movie has been poorly reviewed and received in Japan. “We’re receiving the various…

It’s not the meat that’s pink, but the buns. Which might be worse. The Nanfang reports that KFC China has a Rose Cheese Roasted Chicken Burger to go with a Black Diamond Bacon Spicy Chicken Burger. Last year, McDonald’s rolled out pink buns in Japan, but these KFC buns are much more pink. [Photo: KFC…
Last December, Kotaku introduced the GIF art of Tumblr user 1041uuuha. The animated images were hauntingly poetic depictions of life in Japan. These latest ones are, too. 1041uuuha has created another set of GIFs that, once again, show banality as well as happiness, and even make statements about Japanese society. [All GIFs: 1041uuuha] Top GIF:…
No, the coffee isn’t made from poop. The cup, though, does look like a potty. Recently, website Seoul Searching checked out Poop Cafe in Seoul, near Gyeongbokgung Palace. Outside, the cafe doesn’t look too different from other trendy Korean cafes. [Photo: Seoul Searching] Inside, the decor is poop themed—though, done tastefully. Well, as tastefully as…
Cannot. Stop. Watching. Like last year, another big Pikachu event was held in Yokohama, Japan. As with at other Pikachu parades, the synchronized marching was a sight to see. Impressive precision for people in Pikachu costumes. [GIF via MIYAGAYAOOTAHARA] [GIF via srkyoui77] From behind. [GIF via MIYAGAYAOOTAHARA] [GIF via 最新ニュース] They’re moving rather quick. Listen…

Disneyland might be the Happiest Place on Earth™, but Disney Japan’s Twitter account is one of the most oblivious places on the internet. Take a Disney Japan tweet from yesterday: It reads, “Congrats on a trifling day” in Japanese. Under that, it read, “A very merry unbirthday to you!” Yesterday was the 70th anniversary of…
If you really think about it, the in-game camera often makes little to no sense. This isn’t true for every game (and generally, I think games have gotten way better), but Twitter user NSKEEEEE uploaded a comparison between The Evil Within’s in-game perspective and what the actual P.O.V. would look like. [via NSKEEEEE] Certainly brings…
It’s summer! In Japan, that means muggy heat, fireworks, and cold noodles. But for one Japanese celeb, it also means covering oneself in insect shells. Note: Some readers might get grossed out by these images. I know I kinda did. Shoko Nakagawa—singer, TV personality, and reigning Pokémon queen—has been covering herself with cicada husks for…
The Sky Over Hakone. Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. By Martin Fu. JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us a line!
You are not looking are some fan drawn images. These are official images from Dragon Ball Super’s fifth episode. Fan drawn images probably look better! The images look stiff, rough, and incredibly awkward. Polished, they are not. Online in Japan, people are saying this is a “massive breakdown” (大崩壊 or dai houkai) of the anime’s…
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. Let’s see how the versions stack up. The game’s official Japanese page has comparisons between PS4/PS3, Xbox One/Xbox 360, and PS4/PC. You’ll have to do the PlayStation/Xbox comparisons yourself! Previously, we saw how Ground Zeroes…

Each August, over a half a million people descend on Tokyo Big Sight for Comic Market. That’s a lot of people to contend with, and it’s brutally hot outside and in the convention center. If you are attending, here are some important guidelines to keep in mind. The bi-annual Comiket (Comic Market) showcases self-published manga…
How’s this for a cosplay of William Birkin’s second mutated form from Resident Evil 2? Pretty damn accurate. That also means it looks gross. Impressive, sure, but yucky. The work of cosplayer Gai, who specializes in large suit outfits, is so good that it would be easy to mistake it for a movie costume. [Photo:…

South Korean youth have fallen in love with a new hairdo. It’s called 하트 앞머리 (hateu aapmuhri) and means, “heart-bangs hair.” Koreans in their late teens and early twenties have been uploading photos of heart bangs on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
