Manga Explains NASA Mission
YetAnotherName writes "Anime fans working with NASA? Yes. Tokyopop has the scoop on planetary scientists who made manga to explain a NASA mission, complete with spandex-clad, big-eyed lead character and robotic dogs. You can also download the manga in color or black/white PDF files. (Disclaimer: my spouse is one of the authors.)" If you sit through the talk about dogs, it's actually pretty interesting.

This is some sort of nerd dream, and I can't seem to wake up. I love it.
have we repeated slashdot cliches and mixed and matched so much that now we hallucinate nasa making space manga?
in the style of the movie cliche wino who sees godzilla and then stares at his bottle in disbelief and then throws it, running hysterically,
i now purge slashdot from my bookmarks and rss and close the wind#@~@!" - NO CARRIER
Oh, and we need some quality Japanese art in here... mouths inexpecably small while closed... unbelievably HUGE when open! And she needs green hair, and robot boots. And her head needs to be shaped like a bean.

but the tentacle scene was a bit gratuitous.

So in other words we've built a giant battle cruiser with an ultra powerful partical beam cannon as its primary weapon that can be used as a last resort and can also launch transformable combat mecha which can only be piloted by nubile 16 year old girls clad in tight environmental suits that leave nothing to the imagination against a vast armada of souless automatons at 20:1 odds bent on wiping out the last vestiges of humanity from the universe?
God, why didn't we fund this sooner!?

But seriously. What do space dogs and NASA have in common? What scares me more is what will happen when people start doing fanfics of this.
Well, you see, a secret pact between Nerv and the State Alchemists used a special alloy called spacedogium to help create a weapon using ancient space energy to fight off Shonen Bat. Eventually it went spacebound, and the process created Space dogs. And now Johan Leibert is the head of the android dog catching squad, and will slowly take over the multiverse. Throw in a tenticle monster from the schema world and we're set.
something like this is being done by TokyoTopless
Is there nudity because there's no good Manga without nudity.
Hentai would be even cooler. A hentai NASA project could rock the geek world.
When I was a young boy, I took karate lessons from a company called "Shotokan Karate which operated through our local YMCA. It was mostly young kids in dojos being taught by older men.
I was doing a little research on Japanese words as they related to animation, history of anime, etc. and found this
Shotacon () (also Shota ) is a Japanese and anime term for a sexual complex where an adult is attracted to an underage boy.
WTF! Couldn't they have picked a slightly better name for their organization?

It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
The final page contains a notice that 'no protons or electrons were harmed in the making of this comic'. Which is UTTER BLATANT LIES!
We must join with our Electron brethren and free them from the slavery they have been under since Edison figured out that light bulb thing! I will now free all the electrons in my hous-- (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
