Yokohama ChinatownVery interesting trivia, Danny!
I happen to be Cantonese and was wondering where the Chinese communities were in Japan. The only Chinese people I've met in Japan were Mandarin students just visiting. I was working in Korea at the time, and good Ch...
Are Anime DVDs Worth ItWhat really sucks about R2 DVD's are the fact that they typically come in only 1-2 episodes per volume and cost at least $20 more than a an R1 DVD.
But I hear that the US publishers compress the episodes to fit more into a DVD, which also results...
Japan Public SleepingHey, eave the sleeping people alone! I'm one of them. lol
When you have the time and money to go to Japan, you'd be sleepy all day from partying all night! I made it the time of my life, that's for damn sure.
What brought you to Danny ChooI found this site from Googling "living in Japan". His stories are very inspiring, to say the least. ^_^
I've kept my browser open to this site ever since.
Minami-ke 3rd SeasonI didn't think the second season was bad. Of course, I prefer the art from the first. It's not like the second was completely different.
Worst AnimeFor real. Everything about it was horrible. I couldn't stand the OP/ED and none of the women were cute enough for me to really care for them.
Proud OtakuI'm not embarrassed to be an otaku or anything. I openly talk about games and anime with whoever, whenever. Most of my shirts have some character on it. I'm just not flamboyant about it like others I see, who take it to another level.
Japan and KnivesKeep in mind that the person confronting you is aware he's committing a crime. It's a pretty good chance, they may not leave you without a scratch or else risk having the police be able to identify them easier.
You're right that it may provoke them...
Japan and KnivesAgreed. Being a resident of the bay area, I can vouch for that. Kids these days aren't getting beat enough by their parents, that's why they're all screwed up.
Erika SendoI like it. It's always a battle for me, picking what figures I want to purchase. When I'm at a store like Kotobukiya, I could be there all day staring at them, checking every single detail.
Kylie MinogueI never knew who Kylie Minogue was until she starred in that horrible live action Street Fighter movie. I heard a couple of her dance songs though, which I liked.
Otaku RoomI'm still cleaning up my own room, before I start displaying my otaku stuff. Anybody know a site where I can buy cheap picture frames for my posters? I don't like to damage them by pinning or taping them up.
Your First AnimeIt's hard for me to recall my first anime because I used to watch a lot of TV when I was a kid. I believe Voltron, is one of the first ones I can recall.
Work in JapanHey Danny. I've served in the military for four years. Now that I'm getting out, I'm thinking of moving to Japan and look for work. Do you think Japanese employers see military service as a positive accomplishment? I'm not quite sure what Japan's...
Second Hand MangaThe price of manga in Japan isn't high enough for me to look for pre-pwned, unless it's a certain volume or series that's hard to find (unlikely). DVD's on the other hand are damn expensive so sometimes I have to give in and look to Book Off for som...
