Ok...

Quote:
People who are into the yaoi/yuri subculture Japanese fandom have for too long been misunderstood. It's not all about the boobage & male frontal nudity -- it's about the powerful plots, dramatic storylines, & inspiring themes that run through so many gay-oriented series in a wide variety of forms.


What? Laughing

I love my genre as much as anyone, but the powerful plots are an extreme minority in a sea of mindless boobage and full-frontal romantic penor.

Perhaps glbl might be a bit more plot intensive, but I'm not going to push it.

LOL!

We at TAKII will certainly do our best to show off all exciting sides, meaningful or not, of yaoi/yuri, among other things, this season. In addition to some of our other yaoi/yuri-themed festivities, we will have PCs ready to play some of the following yaoi/yuri-genere games:

1 - ENZAI: FALSELY ACCUSED
2 - ANIMAMUNDI: DARK ALCHEMIST
3 - ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE
4 - LIGHTNING WARRIOR RAIDY

More info for our "Yaoi/Yuri Gaming Buffet" can be found here: http://forum.pdnmz.com/viewtopic.php?p=147#p147

(Forbidden Pleasures: Takii 7 ~Simply Sins"Asian"al~ Announces It's "7 Deadly SINs"Asian"s", Final Pre-Reg Deadline, & Tons More)

I had to read that title 4 times to understand that. I thought it said something about Takii 7's Simply Sins Asian Al (which conjured up an image of Alphonse Elric as a Asian homunculus) announcing something about 7 Deadly Social Insurance Numbers for Asians.

Then I realized Simply Sins"Asian"al was a pun on "sensational". I still don't get the second half.

Tell me I'm not alone.

Good question!

The 7 SINs"ASIAN"s is a play off of the 7 Deadly Sins, but what we're doing is focusing on some of the most entertaining aspects of Asian culture fandom, from the perspective of TAKII fans. That & it happens to be our 7th season, so there's quite a bit of irony in it all Anime smile.
