News that aren't news

1. Can you name the Animes by Opening? Got 87/101.


2. Holy shit, Adidas talaria!! To which I say:
   a) AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
   b) Someone in this company is a huge Greek mythology geek!
   c) H-how much is it and does it come in more colors?
   d) Did someone send this to Rick Riordan?
   e) Meanwhile, Zelda fans are all "OMG Pegasus Boots!" but those were based on talaria so.
   f) I wonder if Nike would do winged shoes, too. That would be so meta.


3. There's a Japanese date for Okamiden now, and their website now looks like one. There's this project thing I don't what's about, but there's new merch such as a fucking giant Chibiterasu plushie. Fuck you guys, where's my medium-sized Amaterasu plushie? Also, who are those girls below? Are they game characters or some sort of mascots? Because the outfit of the one on the left is worrying me.


4. Oh right, TotA manga 22. YOU SCARED ME FOR A WHILE WITH THE SRS BSNS, YOU BASTARDS. Even the official mangaka can't manage to have Peony that OOC for such a long time unless it's the gaiden, ugh. *sigh* Thank god he was okay, not TnJ!awesome but okay. The highlights: cute Noelle is cute, Guy in a corner shipping Ion/Anise. The WTFs: Luke actually being cheerful because Peony praised him, while Ion was having an angsty self esteem crisis (it's like opposite replica day, what the hell!)
