Tokyo Cosplish school offers "cute English"

Found this out through SA

the article said:
Japan's geek market, which covers comics as well as "anime" animation movies, computer games and role-play cafes, has been estimated at some $1.7 billion in 2007. Since Otaku are generally enthusiastic spenders, a multitude of businesses has sprung up to feed the growing market

Never knew there was such a thing as a role-play cafe  --;

the article said:
Students at the school discuss their favourite comic books and films, and learn slang used in English online chatrooms and mobile phone messages, including popular abbreviations such as "GR8" ("great") and "B4" ("before").

Dude, Cosplay Cafe's are all the rage, man. Maid cafes and even yaoi cafes, too.

...

For the love of god, I hope nobody needs me to explain yaoi. ._.

But yeah, giving text speak to the Japanese sounds like a HORRIBLE idea...

Yaoi is gay hentai.

... Well, nothing quite like being blunt. So, Gay sex cafes, then! Although I don't think any actual gay sex occurs... At least I don't think so.

I DIGRESS.

Does anyone else think there's going to be a subsection of Engrish coming thanks to this? n00brish?

the concept of yaoi and yuri is same sex romance, if it has sex orlacks it is a completely different matter as is not teh sex that defines the genre, unlike hentai. what X said before is like saying that all french movies are XXX movies.

Seriously? You're going to get worked up over me not knowing what the difference between Yuri and Yaoi is? Who do you think I am? You?

HAHAHAHA, seriously, get a life.

GEE TEMPEST!! YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO DISGUSTING FORMS OF PORNOGRAPHY IS!! SERIOUSLY!!!
Not everyone reads Yuri and Yaoi comics, unlike yourself, Mr. Huge Hentai Folder, we don't ALL know the specifics about such an amazingly deep concept as Yaoi and Yuri.

But honestly, I don't want to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, so just admit to your troll and move on, you could've kindly corrected me, but NO, you had to be a dick about it.

Well, everyone needs a hobby, and if this thing is making some good cash then I'm all for it.  But still, cosplay schools and role-play cafes?  I guess there's always at least one for everyone.

Check out my YouTube page here.  It might not be on a professional level, but it\'s a start.

there is nothing wrong with cosplay, except ugly people that look nothing like the stuff that they cosplay as...sadly that is around 98% of the cosplayers.

Fat man as Sailor Moon comes to mind.

But, yeah, there's been the occasional good cosplay, and a lot of bad ones.
