Anime Festival AsiaAwesome pics!
I turn my webcam to the other side.
I know it isn't hackable (it's disconnected from the usb) but it makes me nervous anyways. :P
Anime FramesMirai is looking awesome... but if you look too long a time at the gif, it starts getting weird... you know, how fixed her body is.
I know how to solve this! How about some oppai bouncing action? :P
Anime ShopsIs it possible for me to be any more envious than I am now? :P
I mainly want all Lucky Star related content and the artbooks...
Before getting into figures, my previous addiction was artbooks.
Collection is not too big, but I got lots of very nice...
Anime T-ShirtsAwesome Danny!
A very nice combination of colors. Which unfortunately, is something rare on anime tees around here.
I have a couple of anime t-shirts, but don't use them simply because the color mix is awful.
And they were the best ones I could fi...
Japanese Pet ClothingDog died couple of years ago... T_T
But the only clothing I got for him was sort of a blankie for the cold.
He'd keep shaking from the cold on winter time, so we got him some stuff to keep him warmer.
I don't think it's a bad thing, but some peopl...
Anime GirlsAdding this to the long list of reasons why 2D has to stay 2D, and 3D to be set as a different thing altogether.
Only exception to the rule is perfectly applied cel shading techniques
Japan MarketingIt's like a weird chibi happier version of Rilakkuma? :P

The full costumes from Japan are so superior to ours...
Microsoft JapanI read about this today on other blogs, and what I have to say is: Let's not jump to conclusions.
From what I saw, the only thing that isn't working there is the touchscreen feature.
See how the lady runs Google Earth from the keyboard.
Yes, it co...
Gatsby TrooperOr you could also do it like the Goldeneye Glitch, though that would probably ruin your back. xD

Gatsby TrooperAh Danny, I have a dance suggestion for you: The Kirin Nuda stuff
http://xspblog.com/2009/09/03/kirin-nuda/
Just don't do it like the guy right before Angry German Kid. xD
Junichiro KoizumiI can relate to that Danny...
Started watching Anime and Manga at age 19.
Back then (I'm 29 now), the anime/manga "fever" was still in the beginning, but most of the anime/manga public in Brazil up 'till now is composed of kids and teens.
What hap...
Google Chrome JapanWhere's the DannyChoo Theme? ;)
Anyways, GSC Theme, I choose you!
Google Chrome lacks just a few things to become my main browser...
1. Bookmark All Tabs
2. Drag and drop to Bookmarks
3. Xmarks (I know, I'm using the Developer's version with Xma...
Food Costs in TokyoIf I'm eating out, usually R$10 to 20 (reais), which is about 5 to 10 USDs.
This is for one meal alone.
But you can find even cheaper places... or way more expensive ones.
Here's an example:

Lumix GF1 ReviewOh Danny, a friend of yours have more on the Canon mount:
http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news-19004-EOS+Canon+Mount+for+Four-Thirds+Cameras.html
Perhaps you can get even more info, or some testing talking to him... :D
Lumix GF1 ReviewAwesome!
Someone probably already said this, but here it goes again anyways:
That slot on top of the LCD is for the Electronic View Finder.
There's a lens adapter available, but AF won't work... at least for now.
Which is a bummer, but I'm still...
Akiba:FOh yeah, I've probably donated half a dozen times...
But no credits. It was mostly when a family friend needed, or special occasions like when I entered University, when they put a "donation wagon" in my way to work, and stuff like that.
Akiba:FIf they did a cool center like that in Brazil, I'm pretty shure it would solve all the blood bank shortages.
Actually, there'd be a problem with people dying of blood shortage...
Headphone GirlsYep, the first time I saw a post about that (AkibaBlog if I'm not mistaken) I had the same reaction!
Only I don't live nowhere near Akiba, so I ended up making a post about Headphone Musume out of spite. :P
Here's to everyone like me, that drools o...
Japan Unattended BagsIf you leave your bag behind here in Brazil, you're begging to get mugged.
It's not very safe to carry fancy luggage around, obviously leaving them behind is even worse.
Commuting in TokyoYep... only it's on buses rather than trains.
The estimate time of buses can vary A LOT, even getting half an hour late.
Sometimes the bus I take has problems too, it's kinda frequent, so from 45 minutes once it took an hour and a half to get to my...
NadesicoA long time ago...
Very unique plot.
I guess I'd appreciate more if I watched it today... I think I wasn't quite prepared for the parodies and randomness, as I had just started watching anime and wasn't a complete otaku just yet. :P
Recycling in JapanRecycling exists in Brazil, though most people don't give a damn.
There are tons of places that separates cans, glasses, plastics and organics... but I hardly see people respecting those, as I go to throw something in those cans, quite oftenly I see...
Japanese Viking MealsWow, nice price for all you can eat indian...
Here in Brazil we have lots of all you can eat restaurants, but usually, when it's foreign food, things can get very expensive.
On the other side, for brazilian food, you get all ranges of prices (inclu...
Japan Anime ShoppingAnd that's why even though I plan on moving to Japan someday, I'm kinda scared of it too...
I can totaly understand what Rin did there, and if I had the money I can't say I wouldn't do the exact same thing. :P

Gundam DismantleWhat Happen? Somebody set up it the bomb?
Shop or not shop?
I wonder if it has something to do with the polemics about the surrounding area being destroyed because of the multitude of people visiting it....
