You certainly won't be seeing this on the terrible censorship and DRM-infested iPhone.

Good lord, please don't tell me that item on her mouth is what I think it is. That is creepy, even for me whose seen a ton of odd objects via internet.

At least she was fully clothed. It wouldn't be so bad normally, but if memory serves the character is 16 and not 18 or older.

I donno. Wasn't there just a ruling that jailbreaking is legal and that Apple can't force consumers to grab all their apps strictly through the iTunes store (or wherever they buy them -- I don't have an iPhone).

Yeah, I think more and more anime/manga-related goods will be going on the Android and Kindle than Apple's iWhatever devices for this reason. 30% of Kodansha Manga Rejected by iTunes is just one example from a single mainstream publisher of mainstream titles no less.

That's true. Users now have a legal guarantee they can use their devices in their own ways, but they'll still have to deal with a hacking it, potentially voiding the warranty, publishers writing "unapproved" apps for this niche market, and setting up a non-Apple store, which I doubt is going to happen. Much easier just to target Android and Kindle.

Anyways, that video was complete marketing fail Mad
They should have gotten a cute, preferably busty, girl (ala Hinako) to demo it instead! Twisted Evil

Is anyone who buys this app really going to use it for exercise? I didn't think so. I know I wouldn't. Being as I need to get a new phone, I think I'll look into the Android....I didn't watch the demo vid. After seeing the guy perched over the pillow, I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

It's an animation for f's sake, not a real person.

There is probably a application for that.

Yeah, that video does look really, really creepy. Six dollars way too much for something like this, maybe a dollar or so. Good old Japan, if it can be made, it will be made. Never mind if it's weird or not.

I almost don't even want to know the demographic that this stuff appeals too.

I feel sorry for the dude on the video. It looks like he's in late 30's to early 40's and still f***in' around with a cartoon-ish toy. No wonder some Japanese think they don't have future.
I'm 33 and I work out 5 days a week without a junk like that. I know this is harsh, but I have to say this: If he can't get a woman whatsoever, then he should get himself a mail order bride. Instead of wasting money on "moe" junks, it's better off getting some makeover and be active with search for Miss Right.

P90X this is assuredly not. My advice to beginners? Start with a basic fitness routine and then move up. That or go to your nearest Crossfit gym and ask the owner to scale the workout of the day for you and move up accordingly.
