Swimming Anime
Apr 2nd
Blog reader Lucas mailed us this: Kyoto Animation (the studio responsible for the animation of K-on, Lucky Star, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and others) released a teaser trailer this past March showing off the animation studio’s quality. Instead of showing clips from pre-existing series, this advertisement features sexy young male swimmers and showcased them doing various activities in and around the pool.
The advertisement has become so popular that anime fans have dubbed it "Swimming Anime" and it even has fan sites and artwork popping up for it all over the internet. Crunchy Roll, an online Anime Streaming service, even has an online petition urging Kyoto animation to expand the trailer into an actual series.

This might be from this video but I’m not entirely sure, I couldn’t find the scene but might have missed it (where does his hand go at 23:25? >_>). Also cute: this.
The Smell of a Boy’s… well…
Nov 14th
OK, this one is a bit weird. Vice reports about an ‘interesting’ new product. No, it’s not going to help keep your floors spotless or remove the gunk from your dishwasher, this product is about aroma.
“Smelling like vanilla is for cheap, teenage whores. Chanel attracts flies and starving artist types. You need something fresh. Something exciting. Something edgy that pushes the fragrance envelope and makes a passer by get a whiff of you and do a double sniff. You need: “The Smell of a Boy’s Anus” the latest scent in the forbidden collection from Japanese brand Tamatoys (you might remember them as the folks that brought you “schoolgirl urine” and “schoolgirl armpit” scents back in 2002).
The Smell of A Boy’s Anus scented oil is a part of a series called “The forbidden scents – experience that smell one more time.” Just one spritz from this “real anal smell bottle” will keep you surrounded by “the pheromones emitted from the anus of a cute boy” all day. No, this is not feces in a can, guys. This scent is devoted to making you smell purely of anus. Tamatoys confirms, “It has a strong musky perfume smell, tinged with a pungent odor.” Sweet, musky fresh cute boy smell all day long, So, whether you want to wear it yourself, or just sit in a dark, dank computer lab huffing the bottle all day, “The Smell of a Boy’s Anus” never let’s you leave that crack between the cheeks. Christmas is right around the corner you know. “
