40+ anime fan from way back. I love spending my time reading manga, playing PS3 games and slowly learning Japanese :) Spent Golden Week in Fukuoka and Hiroshima. Can't wait to go back for more :)
Mirai Inc UI Designer WantedI would LOVE to do Program/Project Management work for your company ... any thoughts of full time gigs for that or just intern jobs?
Japanese men prefer TengaI think that's the key and I think your comment is the purest response to the people in the article. A lot of us (men and women alike) run into a lot of "wrong one's" along the way. Being almost 40 and single .. I did miss that phase where many of my...
Yokohama ChinatownI had a friend in China tell me that people who can't make it in China leave and open up Chinese restaurants elsewhere. Chinese food here in Baltimore is not bad ... I found a good place that makes decent food. I'm a big fan of wonton soup when it ge...
Tokyo TourThe tour idea is a gold mine :) If you could tailor it for the individuals specific desires, that would be even better. I would totally be up for something like that as I don't hav ay friends in Tokyo and would live to visit and tour around the otaku...
Japanese NicknamesI go by a few nicknames that my close friends call me. I use my given name at work and in formal situations but I see nothing wrong with nicknames as long as the person in question is call with what they are being called.
The 44th President of the United States of AmericaI'm just happy that it's over ... seems like this election has been going on forever and I am burnt out on it. Congrats to Obama ... it's time for us US folks to set aside our differences and come together.
Embarrassing MomentsI was in Italy this week and I went into a post office to get a stamp and I couldn't get out of the office :) It took me about 5 minutes to figure out that I needed to push the door rather than pull the door to get out. As I walked out the women in t...
Japanese MannersI grew up in Chicago and took the Bus and the "L" to high school almost every day for 4 years. My friends and I used to have a saying "All's fair in love and war and finding a seat on the bus" :) If there was an elderly person or a woman or someone t...
Ueno Photo WalkI love these posts from you Danny because I find them just as inspirational for me (almost 40) as some of the folks on here that are quite a bit younger :) I got my Comp Sci Bachelors degree and got into IT back in the early 90s. I've been lucky enou...
Your First AnimeMy very first anime was Prince Planet (Planet Boy Popi) back in the mid 70's ... also Speed Racer, Star Blazers and Battle of the PLanets. First anime that really got me hooked was Robotech in the early 80s.
Emotional AnimeI remember when I was first watching Robotech (Macross) the episode where Roy Fokker dies ... that was pretty sad. Any of Shinkai's films (Voices of a Distant Star, A Place Promised ... and 5 CM Per Second) have moved me in an emotional and good way....
Strike WitchesI would feel better about watching this (I still watch it anyway) if they gave us more of a background on the villans .. they're just mindless ships that fly around for no apparent reason. The girls are cute an the story is better than expected. A wh...
Wonfes CosplayYikes ... lining up in the heat for pictures seems a little rough ... unless their eyes are just that good :)
I like checking out the cosplayers at conventions ... sometimes you see some amazing outfits and sometimes you just see some bad ones. I tr...
Eye TalkI prefer girls who are secure in their own look and know that physical beauty is one aspect of the big picture and double/single eyelids is just one small part of her physical beauty.
Tsundere CafeThat's funny. There are a few bar/restaurant chains (Dick's) in the States where the people treat you like crap ... but not always cute/hot waitresses serving you. That looked kinda funny though.
Anime ToysThanks for sharing that Danny. You are really one of my inspirations ... I wish I had the guts you have to make my dreams come true. I try the best I can though :) I can't say I had a terrible childhood ... we all have things that impact our lives in...
