Hi there, you seem to be new here! Here at Dark Diamond we frequently update with news about video games, anime, Japan and other cool stuff. Head on over to our homepage or go ahead and subscribe to get updates! Enjoy!

Finally a solution to a problem we could have easily solved by now if it weren’t for society’s double standards and ridiculous rules like decency and respect. No I’m not talking about solving unemployment through slavery, I’m talking about cold boobs.

The Japanese have taken it upon themselves to create the Bust Beauty Pad, a USB-powered bust warmer. Just plug it in to a USB port and insert the warming pads under your bra and soon the twins will be all cozied up. It probably also works on man-boobs too but… let’s not go there. Talk about trying to invent a better mousetrap, though! Last time I checked us men still had hands! And maybe you don’t know it Japan, but here in the western world some men are even willing to pay good money to solve this problem with this hands-on approach.

There’s supply, there’s demand. I don’t know, it seems like the free market could have solved this problem ages ago. Perhaps a cop and trade system is in order, see what I did there? Yeah I’m witty like that.

Let’s face it, most male gamers are attracted to breast (female, not male), it’s a plain and simple fact that has been carrying on since the first humans treaded this ragged rock known as the Earth. Apparently, gold farming website, MyMMOShop.com knows this better than most and has found an interesting way to not only exploit this part of the female anatomy, but to spread their word in the process. Russian Pornstar, Anna Morgan was paid $500,000 (USD) to tattoo the company’s logo and website URL across her chest. The contract states that Morgan must leave the unaltered tattoo displayed on her DD-canvas for a period of no less than 2 years. Hunter Crowell, the media relations representative for the company, proclaimed that the deal would provide ample exposure. “A female porn star can easily appear in 50-100 films per year so this gives MyMMOShop.com a lot of exposure for years to come.” Provided her films are distributed or even exist on the pron tubes of the internet, which they most likely are, it’s a pretty smart business decision for their demographic.

Now if I can only get Nahu to release the purse strings of DDN, maybe we can get some body-adverts to spread our word. For consideration please send self-shot pics to our tips account for a panel review.

Tired of being lazy and fat? Wished there was a way to sooth your crippling social skills, watch anime and get some exercise done? There’s hope for you! With Training With Hinako you can watch a very ‘healthy’ girl pep you up and do some basic exercises with you.

This DVD released by Primastea in Japan contains simple exercise videos of squats, pushups and sit-ups instructed by Hinako in a myriad of outfits and looks. She’s apparently part of some sort of magical girl squad and if she doesn’t lose some weight her anime show will be cancelled which makes for a very believable plot for an exercise video.

The videos, which are already out there on your friendly torrent tracker, try to motivate you by showing you some very interesting camera angles during the workouts, sadly I think this will only motivate you to work out other muscles.

For fans of the Queen’s Blade visual combat books and manga and fans of copious fan service will be delighted with this couple of teaser trailers for the new Queens Blade anime that’s coming out next season. Snake thongs and enough boob bounce to cause a tremor, you’d be hard pressed to find more fan service. I’m all for a bit of fan service but this is just… too much.

Hit the jump for another one!

Time for a little test. How many anime series could you indentify by fast snapshots? Probably a lot. How about we restrict the parameters a bit? How many series could you identify simply by simply watching clips of anime boobs for 2 minutes? You might be surprised!

This little music video compiles clips from over 300 anime titles, how many series can you identify? Be amazed as you discover you might be more of a pervert an astute observer than you thought! Post your record in the comments.

When video game characters enter the mainstream culture they are usually revered by all and pop culture embraces them. They become icons, they become gods! Oh wait, that’s only if they are male characters. Female characters get turned into horrible Halloween costumes, such as this Juna outfit which isn’t much of an offence in the resemblance, its a nicely made costume but its such a blatant rip-off! And to add insult to injury the model looks like a whore, you can even see her nipples with that blouse. With no offense to whores out there but if you are peddling video game costumes the very least you can do is have a sexy geeky girl do the part. I know a good amount (you know who you are) and any of them would have been a thousand times better.

Then again, can I really complain? This 3wishes we are talking about, the company that made the infamous Peach costume, a pac-man bra and even turned a bee into a slutty outfit. Oh yeah, and did I mention they also did Chun Li? Oh sorry, Kung Fu Cutie they call it.

Hey there, gang. Got back from one of the biggest comic conventions in the world, which is showing no signs of slowing down. There were announcements ( new Futurama episodes, Lost and Heroes games done by Ubisoft) , there were exclusives (the awesome Iron Man trailer and just-as-awesome Superman/Doomsday premiere on Thursday), there were enjoyable panels (Neil Gaiman, Warren Ellis, and Scott Kurtz being my personal faves) but most importantly,

… there were fans. Because everyone loves a bit of cheesecake or two, and what better way to celebrate one of North America’s most celebrated event with pictures of folks of all shapes and sizes (preferably hourglass-shaped and petite-sized) dressing up as their favorite heroes, heroines, and villains. More of this tomfoolery after the jump.

I’m well aware about Akihabara being the haven for otaku, fujoshi, and any weirdo with some attraction to “anything” in particular. You’re surely to find another of you -brethren sooner or later. Dating sims are an ever-profitable market over there, with beautiful ladies, shut down in a small area like an hotel, a school, a house, breaking mishap to the main guy. That’s the basic formula. Now. . .that’s where this game enters.

Oppai Baka! is the name of this game Oppai is “Boobs” and Baka “stupid, fool, silly”, so it would be a play of words like “Fool for Breasts” referring to a guy’s intriguing attraction for big boobs (in women. . .), and the advertising for such game is. . .this:

Yep. . .an anime girl with huge boobs, and since huge boobs wouldn’t fit in that tiny cardboard, the Marketing department decided to go all 3 dimensions resulting in this 2d-3d mamacita! aaaand they can be touched, free of charge, maybe you’ll be seen as a pervert, but I bet the material those are made of is well worth it! Talk about fanservice, eh?

Release date for this game is June 29 so mark you calendars fellow Akiba-kei, wait for it. . .

On a side note. . . if you think this deeply Japan might already have full 3D anime girls somewhere in a huge basement, and they haven’t released them for fear of Otaku’s disgust at the lack of 2d goodness. So, if they release the 3D-ness little by little, we’ll get accustomed to it and finally get the full 3D chick. Maybe next they’ll release an H-game focused on anime butts, and have the anime girl’s behinds sticking out of the cardboard. I’m imagining it and I really don’t know what my reaction would be! Oh Japan, your selling strategies never ever cease to amaze me.

Welcome to the sixth installment of ‘Figure Review from a Hikikomori’. This time, I am reviewing Kotobukiya’s figure of Eimi Ohba, changing clothing. This is a mighty blast from the past that I found at Anime Central 2007 after missing a chance at her a couple of years ago because I really am quite bad at using alternative websites. She turned three years old this month.

Eimi Ohba is one of the major doujinshi sellers in a series called Comic Party. The series revolves around Kazuki, a doujinshi artist new to the scene, and the interactions and events that happen as he becomes better and more versed in the ways of fan comics. He gets involved and intertwined in Ohba’s life later into the series.

Alex Davis and the good guys over at First 4 Figures have sent us news of their latest figure release. And this time they’ve nailed it, they finally realized the determining factor in selling figures to geeks. Boobs.

I’m serious, take it from Japan, they know figures and they know a sexy female will sell above everything else. I’m really willing to bet this Zero Suit Samus figure will be their fastest selling figure yet.

The usual info, its a limited edition of 2,500 pieces, the figure is 9.5 inches tall and it retails for 109.99. Its also the closest a lot of our audience will ever be to a woman in a wetsuit. So for you guys, take that into account next time you get your paycheck, you can always eat some other week.
