Erotic Weather Channels…yes, that’s plural

Started by tofugu · 10 months ago

If you take a look at the sunny days, and you happen to be able to read katakana, you’ll notice that they spell out the word エロ (ero), which, if you do read katakana, you’ll know notice means “erotic.” Considering they ... Continue reading »

  • Apparently there is a city called Happy Land in Erromango. The place sounds deceiving. I bet they offer cake >.>

    If you tilt your head to the right it while looking at the first image the katakana spells out 'ho'.
  • hahaha wows
  • I'm not sure on the English translation, but this island was 'formerly known a "Martyr's Island" by the Presbyterian missionaries in the 19th century, because of the alleged risk attached to missionary activity there'. (info. via Wiki) Yes, not the best source to attend to, but it's still early in the morning and I'm lazy ^_^.

    I see the "HO" that the little sunshines make, but I was wondering if the formation of the clouds make some kind of kanji?
  • OH, エロ, HO.
    Three different ways to read it, forming a sentence! (the HO being laughter)
  • Well, that's what you get when your language is just a bunch of boxes and squiggles.

    Just kidding.
  • Man thats not an island I'd want to live on O__o Not like there is going to be any large population but I'm just saying...think of all the otakus ><

    and as for エロ
    *facepalms*
  • Never hear of Vanuatu? Didn't they do an entire season of Survivor there?
  • Lol. you said find EroManga. Here's the best i could do. It's in Australia somewhere.

  • wow, nice job. I wonder if we could find actual pictures of the place / people of erromanga (sp?)
  • The cake is a lie...

    the cake is a lie...
  • Koichi:

    I'm sure you know a lot of guys who could tell you what people in エロマンガ look like. In all serious, though, is it Erromanga or Erromango (as you wrote in your post)?
  • When I did my search, it gave me Erromango.
  • " I wonder if we could find actual pictures of the people of erromanga (sp?)"
    Here (but a small one): ^ ^

  • ZOMG! The most horrible thought came into my mind... Ero Mangoes...! ARGH get out of my head!
  • @tamélina's link

    Near the top of the page there is language selection, click English (Japanese would probably work. I just didn't try it.) The picture on the left collomn is a map of Erro Manga. If you zoom in on that pic. there is a city called Happy Land. That's wild.
  • I had never heard of this before. I wonder if it was intentional or not. Or if it was just the right amount of cloudy and sunny days.
  • I searched for the place and could not find it either.
  • I bet she felt embarrassed when she saw the footage after wards.
