OTDT Roundabout 15 December 2014

Your morning wrap-up of last week

-It looks like PM Abe is going to get what he wanted with this weekend’s election. BBC has a good summary of how we got to his party’s expected landslide.

-Michael Keaton doesn’t give a Bat-hoot about Ben Affleck being Batman.

-Speaking of Batman, you know who else doesn’t like guns? Hayao Miyazaki. Of course one counter-argument (among several) is that Miyazaki doesn’t like anything.

-Naruto musical. Believe it.

-If you ever wanted to see the stark contrast between CD sales and digital sales (at least in terms of content), this article should be definitive.

-Finally, enter the wonderful world of generic fantasy sewing patterns. Not like anyone of this group would use such a thing.

Meanwhile, here’s some more news you can use, courtesy of the OTDT staff:

• Sara has a hell of a Black Butler movie review.
• Because we don’t exploit our Facebook page enough, here’s some of the top posts of the year.
• Gay couples can now get a traditional wedding in Kyoto.
• SPOILER-FILLED LIST ABOUT SPOILERS.
• Net neutrality is still a thing that the telecoms don’t like.
• And of course, cute videos of cats and guinea pigs.

That’s all from last week. We hope you enjoy this week.
