Something different for today’s Mainichi Photo

Today I was catching up on South Park. It was a pretty funny episode about Black Friday mega sales that happen in the USA. It turned out to be a “to be continued” episode, a 3 part story about the next-gen console wars between Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s Playstation 4.

These screenshots are from the second episode “Titties and Dragons”…

Trey Parker and Matt Stone actually speak (simple) Japanese and play the parts of the Japanese business people at Sony…

Anime wizard Eric Cartman appears to entice Princess Kenny back to Colorado. The one thing I don’t get about this whole thing is that it’s based on Game of Thrones, but there’s no wizard in Game of Thrones, Eric looks more like Gandalf from Lord of the Rings…

They even do the “they killed kenny, you bastards!” in Japanese…
