Princess ResurrectionAwesome figure. It really fits the character well. I may purchase it...but doubtful. I'm running out of room!
I love the manga (which I first picked up on a whim), and the animé isn't available in the US yet, so I can't say whether I like it or n...
Nintendo Announces new DS, the DSiI never upgraded to the lite, and have an original DS-brick. I have to get the L/R buttons fixed (as they work, sometimes), but until it completely dies, I have no need for a newer version.

Japanese BreakfastMy typical breakfast usually consists of a few cigarettes and a cup of coffee. Sometimes I have a cereal bar of some kind, and if I am away from home on vacation or something, I will usually eat an actual meal. I make awesome omelets....

Are Anime DVDs Worth ItI buy all of my DVDs retail, or through online stores. The prices can range from $13 for subtitle-only, with 4 or 5 episodes, to $35 for a limited edition box set. The companies have also been releasing the slim-pack complete sets for anywhere from...
Anime MagazinesI pick up AniméInsider once in a while. The articles are OK, but they tend to repeat things from pervious issues. It's owned and published by Wizard magazine, and I also buy ToyFare. The Twisted ToyFare Theater is just too damn funny.

Japanese MannersIt's not all disgusting: mostly candy wrappers, bags, and random bits of paper. Used Condoms, used tampons, used maxi pads (what do these women do, replace it, and throw it out the window while driving!?), various types of bottles full of piss (or s...
Japanese MannersHere's the real scoop on New Jersey. Our manners are mostly disgusting. A friend has a shirt: "New Jersey: Where The Weak Are Killed And Eaten".
This about sums it up... My father has been living in California, and recently visited the East Coast...
Chinese Food in JapanThere are a lot of places to get Chinese food around where I live, but I can't say if any of them are better then any other. They all taste the same, and not very authentic, from what I've heard. I did go to a nice place in California.

A Week in Tokyo 25Never watched Prison Break...
I would eat at that ramen shop.
And the strangest thing I've seen in a window was a priest's chalice, in a thrift store. I still regret not buying it.

One WishI would want to be in Junji Ito's Gyo universe. OK, no, not really... That would be awful, just awful...bleh!
It would be a toss-up, between Excel Saga (manga universe, not animé) or Angelic Layer. I totally want my own Angel Battle Doll...

Japanese FestivalsThere are many different cultural and family-type fairs, mostly during the summer. Of course, there is always the state fair, every summer.
Some of the festivals are dedicated to some culture or another. There was an Italian festival earlier in th...
dannychoo.com on CNNI've been visiting this site for quite some time, well over a year, I think two. A Gundam web search got me here, and I remember the layout was really basic. I Have only recently started posting.
That CNN piece is cool. I'm glad to see you are get...
Big Japanese EyesPer day, rarely. If I'm at the mall, or something like that, I can get... distracted.
Any Ren-Faire is cleavage central. It's impossible not to look under such circumstances!

Ueno Photo WalkRight now, I am mixing god-awful chemicals, and turning them into flavors of some beverage that you, reading this right now, may have already drank or may be drinking at this moment, or have never even tried before, but chances are...

A Week in Tokyo 24Danny, I love the food coverage. It's always interesting to see what people from different parts of the world eat regularly. It always looks so tasty!
I'm a terrible pack-rat, but I (usually) know where everything is.

Idol LurveNot one obsession, but I did have my closet doors covered with sexy chicks, from all different magazines. Janet Jackson on the cover of Rolling Stone was always a favorite.

What is ArtEven if it was about sex, the main differences are time, and culture. I am sure there are plenty of areas, all around the world, that would let neither be publicly displayed.
Art? Yes to both, but the wet in certain areas, condom in the mouth and...
Your First AnimeWhen I was about 15, or so, I watched Akira and Fist Of The North Star, on VHS. They blew my fikken mind. Up until that point in my life, I had no idea that animation could do such things.

Proud OtakuSome years ago, it hit me, I am totally an otaku. I am unashamed, and share my interests with anyone I can. It all started with comic books, and cartoons, the progressed to animé, manga, figures...I grew up with Nintendo...I can relate any topic to...
Otaku ParentsNo, my parents know nothing about animé, other then I enjoy it. That, and my father can't hear a word of what any high-pitched character says, so basically that means, averaged, more than half of the dialogue of every animé, ever made.

Figure ReviewI have two transformers, two manga Spawn figures, and two original MadBalls, along with a few frogs, a dragon's arm, and an alarm clock, on the shelves in my bathroom.
I also have a special shelf in the medicine cabinet, full of strange things, for...
Figure and Gundam SpaceI rotate figures. There is some room in the attic I can use for storage, if it ever comes down to that. I still have space in my apartment.

Your Anime CrushExcel from Excel Saga. The manga version, not the animé version of the character. They are very different.
Although, I do have a soft spot for all of the women of Excel Saga...and there are plenty to choose from.

Your First GundamMy first Gundam ever was a HG Deathscythe. I had a lot of fun building it.
My first MG was the Deathscythe Hell, which is still my all time FAVORITE Gundam. It's 23 different shades of cool.
