Japan and SmokingYeah that is part of the problem. IHMO, I think the worst is that (some) Manga/Anime promote smoking to young children by making cool characters smoking (like Sanji). Smoking in Japan has a good reputation event though it is unhealthy ! But you can b...
Japanese care about AnimeLOL ! I just looked for One Piece characters on the french Wikipedia. Guess I am more a japanese that a french mainstream. But that is not a surprise ! ^^;
Japanese and LooksYep ! In France, for ID photographes, it is forbidden to smile (otherwise, your photo is rejected by the administration...) because they say it changes the look of your face. So no smile, no spectacles, no hat or scarf, etc... They want to be sure it...
Onani LifeIn french, you can also use the word "onanisme", with the same meaning.
But according to wikipedia, it comes from an english medical book refering to a old testament story...
Fireman ArrestedIn France, it can be even funnier: sometimes just to have fun, people set cars on fire as a bait, and when the firemen come, they throw stone at them ! Just because they are a symbol for the state...
Bargaining in JapanThe consumption tax is 19.6% in France (it can be reduce to 5+% for some items like books...).
In Singapore the GST is 7% but I hate the fact it is never included to the stated prices. So you always to calculate to end up paying + 10% service charge...
Drive into KidsIsn't it the best way to transform your car in an itasha ? You just drive into children et voilà ! Your car is engraved with cute expression, plus some very nice touches of red for the painting...
Darker than BlackWow, well done Danny for summurazing it, because the plot is rather obscur and very difficult to undertand. Lot is not said and I have the feeling that the director rely a lot on the watcher to make the link between various event and understand by th...
Kipi CollectionI believe she is cosplaying a nurse from "Pure Trance" by Junko Mizuno.
Junko Mizuno FTW ! I really like this mangaka with her trash and cute universe. Give it a try , folks it is really good !
eyeVioSince downloading anime is illegal (especially in Singapore), online video services are my only mean to watch my dose. So it is much more than 1 hour/day.
Thankfully, speed connection keeps up !
Nodame CantabileMUGYA !
Yep, Nodame Cantabile is great ! Too short though. I hope there will be a second season (just like I hope he same about beck).
Since then, I search every CD shop for a Rachmaninov piano concerto #2 played the way Chiaki did. I love the emot...

HDR-CX7My dad is a Sony fanboy so I have been raised a bit the same way. And I must tell every time I hold a Sony device, it feels good quality.
Never had any problem with Sony products...
Zettai KareshiHummm... Danny, which one do you advise more, the sarah connors chronicles with its cutie terminator or this Zettai Kareshi ?
Quite disappointed to see how draggy is the terminator TV show...
Japanese PoliceDear Benjamin, may I suggest you had a letter "a" in your location?
Unless you want to sound Engrish in a french way, the word battle is "bataille" in french.
Just a passing comment, no hard feeling ^^
Code Geass R2Ah ah ! I just watched R2 ep1 yesterday and I was wondering when Danny will write about it!
I like the first ep, even though it made me confuse and force me to gather my memories of last season exact plot (guess a bit like Lelouch ^^)
It looks prom...
TAF 2008The end of "Grave of fireflies" is even more depressing !
But this is a wonderfull movie that makes a lot to promotize japanimation in France: people always gave it as an example to show that anime/movie can be moving, poetic, historical, insightful...
Tokyo Train AccidentThat is sad to read.
When will the subway companies (all over the world) consider to put sliding door along the plateforms ?!!
The cost argument cannot be waived when you see the death of a human being and the mess (and cost) of the consequences....
A Week in Tokyo 8Yeah Ikea is cheap and good quality. And everywhere. Hence the major drawback is that now, everybody has the same furniture! You go visit your friend and you are like "Oh, I have the same chair ! Oh, I have the same coffee table ! ..."
So much for e...
