Ghost in the Shell is my absolute favorite Production I.G title. I also love Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, and Otogi Zoshi. I think I will want to watch the entirety of Blade of the Immortal and Le Chevalier d'Eon.
It would certainly make a certain kind of sense to think of it that way, boss. Men are hunters, women manage the home and hearth and deal with what the men bring home. That's how it was at the dawn of history, and a trace of that remains today in so...
No WONDER she looked familiar. I've seen that movie; it's a pretty good piece of zombie-apocalypse/mindless entertainment. Not familiar with the games, though. Question: how does she reconcile the various cultures she knows/grew up in?

I agree with you on the responses. They are also a gauge as to who really is interested in the deep nuts and bolts of Japanese culture itself. As I pointed out upthread, the whole money-management-is-a-wife-thing concept goes all the way back in the...
Well no, that money thing is really in the culture, goes all the way back to the samurai. The warriors reserved a special contempt for money and did not want to be handling it - so all the income from the family estates was always managed by those wh...
I love Japanese curry and also have my own recipe for making it, but using a good local brand of curry powder to make the whole thing from scratch, no rouxes or Golden Curry although they are available locally.
I'd like one (or three, for all the girls) - but honestly I have no idea what I'd do with them here in Manila - no one here knows what Poken are, much less USE them.
I love these little guys. Would probably pick the doggy for myself for my animal in the Chinese zodiac. Also, I would have to be careful having them in my office since they're so cute they might distract co-workers! :D
"Whats your fave Ghibli flick?" Definitely Mimi wo Sumaseba, "If you listen closely" but Western title given was "Whisper of the heart". I can even sing the Japanese version of "Country Roads, Take Me Home" that's pretty much the theme of the movie!
