Mystical markings and cat-girls not included.
Hey there, fans! If you’re anything like me or the millions of Americans that celebrate Thanksgiving with a coma-inducing feast, then you know that doing any sort of mental gymnastics or ANY physical activity directly after is relatively low on the things-to-do list. With this in mind, this post is dedicated to the cute antics animals get into, and the Japanese television shows that happily record them. In this list you will find animals great and small, cute and awesome, and even famous, as Maru the cat’s latest video is going to be in the line up also! So enjoy your food-induced stupors, fans, and remember to give thanks to the broadcast networks and bored pet owners in the land of the rising sun who constantly film stuff like this!
Two rabbits, two cups:
The Penguin Robot:
The Boar-riding Monkey:
Capybaras, oh my!
Maru, and many small boxes:
See you next week!
(All videos found on Japan Probe, where I obviously spend too much time watching these videos)
About the Author
After finding out that the school's library was a welcome respite from the heat of the tropical island he inhabited, Paolo Jasa found out that books were a whole lot better than being a constant target during P.E. class; so much so that he developed a love for them that would last him a life time. His first forays in Science Fiction were in the novels of the esteemed I. Asimov, R. Bradbury, and D. Adams, while his adventures in Fantasy took him to the realms of Discworld, Hogwarts, and a Chicago that houses the only Wizard-For-Hire found in the local Yellow Pages, Harry Dresden.
Then he found out about Gaiman's Sandman comics, Miyazaki's animé, Pixar's movies, and (almost) every single web-comic on the Internet.
This changed things a little bit. A lot, in fact.
Regardless, Paolo's currently enrolled in the College of William and Mary to get a Bachelor's Degree in ... something. Hopefully in English or in Education in order to become a teacher, and to bend the minds of the next generation towards all things nerdy. While not studying or reading, he enjoys playing the alto saxophone and singing unabashedly around campus when no one’s looking.
