    I vote for Eroge since Figures and anime have many votes.

    Danny, if you have more time, please also visit anime and eroge production. I like to see more figures, animes and eroges production.

    Looks like you're starting something really cool Danny.

    You should go to see Sunrise, Gonzo or Bones :D

    And it'd be nice to see the Gundam office, though I dunno if thats even doable.

    Danny, Awesome Awesome videos. I believe you can still put iMovie HD on your Mac if you have the iLife install discs, btw. I recommend Final Cut Express though if you want to have more control in your video editing. I'm working with Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro while editing a DVD project for a local Theatre Group. LOTS of stuff involved, but I'm learning a lot, too. Say, you wouldn't need a Video Editor or media Specialist would ya? ;-)

    On the English books, those books were hilarious. When I visited Japan in October of last year, I was presented with an English Colloquialisms book and asked to help explain some of the phrases. There were more than a dozen that made no sense in English. It was an eye opening experience to say the least.

    wtf with the english vocab learnt...but i guess the easiest way to learn a new language is to learn its foul words first..
    speaking of that danny, you should have an otaku dictionary function where you can archive all the otaku words that you have on your site - make it easy reference for us

    and oh..about the coverage - a coverage on the dutch wife would be great..muakakakakak

BTW I listen to Utada latest album too much, I could swore that in the last few seconds of the video I heard 虹色バス but probably it's only my imagination and poor hearing....

    Nice video tour once again! I like very much. Please keep it up!!

    I've put in my vote for manga studio, just because manga is my first love. Although I'd seriously be interested in any of the others really. Eroge company would be really interesting and so would an anime studio or a games company.

    Buying a figure is like getting a pet; it was made with TLC and you have to give it TLC.

    Those MS figures are simply amazing.

    I'm pretty sure the tissue box just happened to be besides the magazines; at least, that's what I've deluded myself into thinking. XD

    I wish I could have been taught English the magazine way. What kind of magazine teaches someone to square their @55 away(is it even physically possible XD) and sh!+ Tiffany Cuff Links(whatever they are)?

    Danny, the Slash zaku phantom showed at 6:01 in the film, is that one of those MSIA or an actual model kit?

    if it's a kit, could you ask how they got that slash lance? Because all I've seen so far is a no grade 1/144 version, which did not have such a lance, unless something happened in my absence :P

    That book! I've seen pictures of it and such- but where can I get it online? and what is it called? >.<

    I will reverse-learn it (English to Japanese) =D, and get my nihongo friends back >O

    wow! cool GSC office tour danny ^___^

    Aki-san needs some subs =3
    but at least your post described what he is saying and that's informative ^^

    i wonder what kind of material that they've used for their prototype and the type of plastics that they use ^^

    so that's how long they've developed the figma series ^^

    And me suggests to start with J.C. Staffs as they are producing considerably popular blabla <insert all logical reasons here>.

    No really it's because I'm currently watching Shakugan no Shana II. ^^

    Maritan in the GSC offices!! Good stuff!!

    My fave quote went something like "Holy shit!! Only steers and queers come from Texas and you don't look much like a steer so that narrows it down!"

    Really liked their professional workspaces too. Should really get one of those extractors for when I paint, but my current setup works well enough.

    Great video as always.
    I see they promote very refined English there. LOL!
    A newbie's question... Upon seeing Figma Saber, I was wondering if they ever created a limited edition of Saber with metal plates on her armor.

    Any future coverage on industries would do, but you doing an anime studio coverage would be my top preference, followed by an eroge one (would the latter be considered as NSFW?)

    Here's some eother/eroge companies/groups I want to see covered in your news, Danny:


    1. Leaf
    2. stage-nana (group that created Narcissu)
    3. Little Wing (group that does music for eroge)
    4. Team Shanghai Alice (for the epic win, a group behind the Touhou series)
    5. TYPE-MOON
    6. Nitro+
    7. KID/Cyberfront
    8. Root (CARNELIAN's eroge company)
    9. Cut A Dash! (Misato Mitsumi's doujin circle. She does the artwork for Leaf eroge)
    10. Aoi Nanase
    11. Cave (company that does danmaku games)

    Sorry for the long list, but covering companies is a golden opportunity, I tell ya.

    "4. Team Shanghai Alice (for the epic win, a group behind the Touhou series)"

    It's essentially one guy (ZUN) behind the whole thing--art, programming, danmaku. He's a beer-powered shmup machine. I doubt he has an office outside of his home.
