Akihabara ShoppingA computer you make is the best computer you can have. I built my machine (amd 64 x2 with geforce 7600 sli) about two years ago and so far, everything has been fine! Not like my previous pc that broke down every week.
OtakuThroughly enjoyed the wonfes coverage. Thanks a bunch danny!
Some very good figures in this post including Nao, and Rin in uniform. The first one looks very high grade too, though I don't know who it is. I'm surprised they made a figure from mai-oto...
Plasma VS LCDGood choice danny! Plasma is still much superior to LCD in contrast and fast moving scenes. I was considering buying LCD but when I looked at some of my anime and photos on my old Goldstar (now LG) TV vis the PS3, they just looked so much more vivid...
Wonderful Days Sky BlueWonderful days was something I was looking forward to from all the promotional pictures and the poster. I was impressed by the visual effects of the movie but didn't like the story that much. And one big disappointment was character design, which loo...
Broadband in Japanlike some people pointed out, you made a typo danny (7.4 instead of 74kbps). That should theoretically be about 9MB/s?
I get around 700KB/s download on non-peak times. Could be better but I'm happy with it for now (it comes free of charge with my...
Tokyo ApartmentsThe view from the Seattle place is very nice. I also assume apartments in front of graveyards are dirt cheap compared to others as with houses?
Loans in JapanI have 3 credit cards- 2 that I don't use. Yeah, credit cards can get you making wild purchases especially online. But I like the rebates they come with, i.e. 1% back on all your purchases.
DS TV TunerThat is quite impressive but I wonder if the signal is good in fast moving trains and in tunnels. I've sampled DMB back in Korea. Seemed like many cell phones, navis and UMPCs have DMB enabled (they all have the antenna though)
Laptop VS DesktopIt's rather simple really. If you're not going to move your laptop around, buy a desktop.
Many college freshmen in NA buy laptops but more often than not, it just ends up sitting on a desk so why not just invest in a desktop?
As for me, I have a b...
Mobile Suits RankingI'm watching it 5 ep. every friday and man it's good! I never imagined I'd enjoy watching something this retro. The guncannon/guntank is just the most hilarious combo ever!
Nendoroid PetitLol School Days.
I'd like to know what you thought of it danny. Personally, I really liked the art style and the music and that's pretty much it.
360 Beats PS3I own the PS3 but so far, I've only played FFXII on it ;;
There simply isn't any good games out right now imo. I've ordered Railfan but it's taking way too long to ship!
PS- if you want to jump on the ps3 boat, the time is now! Get the discounted...
Japanese PhonesI like the phones they have in Japan, much better selection than North America. Most have the distinct formfactor : long and rectangular. I also found that usually, the edges are less rounded off than other countries. Makes it look sharp and professi...
Panasonic HouseI'm not at all surprised since in Korea, Samsung/LG make condos (or should i say mansions hehe) with the ever-famous samsung/LG logo printed on the side.
Imagine: you can work for Samsung, have a samsung TV, fridge, laptop, a/c, cell phone, mp3, dr...
Japan Busah! I remember taking the bus from there to Nakano. Traffic jam due to roadwork (dunno if it's a new subway construction) so don't really recommend.
Japanese MannersI've seen a similar poster as well. The same kids were in a crowded train and the oblivious boy had a big backpack on which was pressing on the girl's back. I presume the message is : don't wear big backpacks in trains.
I've also noticed that too. T...
Violence in Anime and MangaI thought Claymore is more relevant to this incident. When Priscillia uses the axe to .... um you know.... I'm not going to spoil it.
TGS2007 : PS3 VS 360There are actually many games for the 360 targeted at otakus including idolm@ster and trusty bell (eternal sonata)... etc.
I hope 360 beats ps3 in japan, since I don't like sony in general.

Anime FansubSo many comments! Hope you have the patience to read through all of them danny
Looks like everyone is bashing dubs over subs BUT I know that many Japanese prefer to buy English release DVDs over original ones due to the following reasons:

Japanese GhostsI personally don't give a damn about ghosts whether they exist or not.
Interesting to note that Shinrei Shashin (心霊写真) is transcribed as Shimryong Shajin (심령 사진) in korean. Means the same thing and sounds almost the same.
