Oh shit, you guys. It happened, finally. This week, Shintaro Kago launched his own YouTube channel! So far, he has posted 3 of the short movies that he's shown at recent gallery events and are available on his DVDs (scroll down the page). The first two shorts are animated (very wacky a la 4chan gif madness) and the last one is a live-action clip.
Definitely go rate these videos and leave comment if you enjoy them!
恐怖のオリンピック競技/Terror of olympic game - animated
恐怖のゴルフ場/Terror of golf course - animated
穴/Hole - live action
(Context for "Hole" joke here)

NEW DAILY COMICS FROM SHINTARO KAGO!
Hot on the heels of his last update, our patron saint Shintaro Kago is at again with another update to the Daily Manga section of his site. Once again for your viewing pleasure, I'm happy to present this batch of seven 1-panel gag comics, with quick English translations by me! Kago-san stays close to the usual themes of suicide and destruction... and Edgar Allan Poe.

MONDAY - The hanging of a sumo
TUESDAY - Mother Nature = WIN
WEDNESDAY - Orthodontics... after the Great Kanto Earthquake
THURSDAY - Poe slashing his wrist
FRIDAY - In vitro fertilization
SATURDAY - Sandwich Shop (SIGNS: Double Decker Sandwich ¥500, Hot Sandwich ¥400, Sandwich ¥300)

Apologies for the media-heavy, text-light posts lately! I've had company the past two weekends and busy at my day job, so I haven't made a lot of time to crank out a long written post in a while. I'll work on fixing that up (or maybe everyone prefers the picture posts to long-ass commentary?).

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Holy crapola, look what they had at the local book shop (not comic shop)...
Pluto Vol. 1 and 20th Century Boys Vol. 1!!!
I just read Pluto and now my GF and I are about to swap manga. Pluto is... well, it's just fucking incredible. I got teary-eyed two or three times, and the translation (by Fred Schodt and Jared Cook) and editing/production is immaculate. FUCK YES, YA'LL.
Naoki Urasawa, I bow down to you :)
