Very interesting trivia, Danny! I happen to be Cantonese and was wondering where the Chinese communities were in Japan. The only Chinese people I've met in Japan were Mandarin students just visiting. I was working in Korea at the time, and good Chi...
What really sucks about R2 DVD's are the fact that they typically come in only 1-2 episodes per volume and cost at least $20 more than a an R1 DVD. But I hear that the US publishers compress the episodes to fit more into a DVD, which also results i...
Hey, eave the sleeping people alone! I'm one of them. lol When you have the time and money to go to Japan, you'd be sleepy all day from partying all night! I made it the time of my life, that's for damn sure.
I found this site from Googling "living in Japan". His stories are very inspiring, to say the least. ^_^ I've kept my browser open to this site ever since.
I'm not embarrassed to be an otaku or anything. I openly talk about games and anime with whoever, whenever. Most of my shirts have some character on it. I'm just not flamboyant about it like others I see, who take it to another level.

I never knew who Kylie Minogue was until she starred in that horrible live action Street Fighter movie. I heard a couple of her dance songs though, which I liked.
I'm still cleaning up my own room, before I start displaying my otaku stuff. Anybody know a site where I can buy cheap picture frames for my posters? I don't like to damage them by pinning or taping them up.
It's hard for me to recall my first anime because I used to watch a lot of TV when I was a kid. I believe Voltron, is one of the first ones I can recall.
Hey Danny. I've served in the military for four years. Now that I'm getting out, I'm thinking of moving to Japan and look for work. Do you think Japanese employers see military service as a positive accomplishment? I'm not quite sure what Japan's...
The price of manga in Japan isn't high enough for me to look for pre-pwned, unless it's a certain volume or series that's hard to find (unlikely). DVD's on the other hand are damn expensive so sometimes I have to give in and look to Book Off for som...
