Omake
''Omake'' (, usually written ) means ''extra'' in Japanese. Its primary meaning is general and widespread. It is used as an anime and manga term to mean "extra or bonus". In the United States and United Kingdom, anime fans generally use the term in a narrow sense to describe special features on DVD releases: deleted scenes, interviews with the actors, "the making of" documentary clips, outtakes, amusing bloopers, and so forth. However, this use of the term predates the DVD medium by several years. For at least the past fifty years in Japan, ''omake'' of small character figurines and toys have been giveaways that come with soft drinks and candy, and sometimes, the ''omake'' is more desired than the product being sold. In English, the term is often used with this meaning, although it generally only applies to features included with anime, ''tokusatsu'', and occasionally manga.

PC-FX
The is a 32-bit home video game console co-developed by NEC and Hudson Soft. Released in December 1994, it is based on the NEC V810 CPU and CD-ROM, and was intended as the successor to the PC Engine (known overseas as the TurboGrafx-16).
