I love anime, technology, computers, and video games. Not always in that order, but anime is still #1. I've been to Japan twice, and not just to tokyo, I've been all over the country.
Transformers Revenge JapanI wonder if it was common knowledge in Japan before the first Live Transformers movie, that Convoy was named Optimus Prime in America.
