Some of those shirts are pretty slick, especially the "robot destruction" one. I'm not a huge fan of any of the series they have shirts for (I have yet to see Excel Saga so I may change my mind), if they added some Elfen Lied shirts they'd make some serious cash off me.

some of those shirts if worn outside would probably get some males arrested. Thouse the females are covered the fanservice is...well. I can't find the words.

I wish that they would put in some Chrono Crusade stuff. I think they did at the very beginning, but now it's all gone. Apparently it didn't sell or they're rotating series around or something. Although, I'm pretty sure Azumanga was one of the starter series for the store as well, so it's probably the former then.

Why is this news? It almost seems to me that it is a paid advertisement placed in the news section to generate more views for the company. Do other sites get the same treatment when they are selling new merchandise? I don't quite understand.

T-shirts, just about the lowest form of reverse-paid advertising ever invented. What an excellent way to look the part of the screwed-up otaku while you're out and about.

Arrested? What on earth are you talking about? I can see having the living shit beat out of them for looking like proud perverts, but being arrested? Please.

I can't possibly agree more. Any pointless pandering like this should probably come with an explanation or at least a disclaimer. I understand and even support the new advertising layout, but including commercial kiss-ups in the news column is bit too low even for me.

They really need to up their sizes, these are otaku they're trying to sell t-shirts to. We need 3, 4 and 5xl choices.
