I wonder why no one has yet commented on your profile since you updated DC ... Is it banned? ^_^".
You can say: A Successful Life? I think it does! =)
Guess you've made a life of constant effort, but we see major results!
is so long that I will follow you Danny, I wanted to tell you that I admire you, but I've never understood trying to contact you.
This time I will not be unnoticed if I are really the first comment ^_^".
I also hope that I could comment, and that I did not wrong to write in English, I have many difficulties in this language and I would not be misunderstood.
goodbye! :)

At my age networking is a huge part of life (lol school) yet i'm still not all that trendy yet, having huge networks. Of course, what is a network if people don't know who you are? So this post of the renewed Danny Choo profile, has inspired me to start one up, to list down all the things i've done so far. Thanks Danny.
But of course at my current stage of life, nothing much can really be read in terms of jobs. Although it's always good to start early. ^^
Looking through the profile, it really reminds me of what you've gone through to reach your current position in internet stardom. Persistant effort through all stages of life and always having a positive outlook. You are a very positive role model to me.
Thank you for providing a space where people who adore otaku culture can gather and share information and thank you for sharing what putting in effort can yield. (I probably went a bit too far, but atleast I got out what I wanted to convey)
Keep up the great work!

Amazing. The result of hard work and networking really show. You are inspirational to me, in all you have accomplished. Will continue to visit your blog and contribute in what small ways I can.

Hmmmm, i do agree about the linking your profile to your comments thing so that some new encounters might happen when the right party are intersted, but what if the profile is just not that interesting enough?? Like maybe for example i do a boring deskjob from 9 to 5 or i'm curently a NEET and stuff like that.... wouldn't that be a negative point??. not everone has a "great" job and stuff like that.
oh well, it's sounds really negative coming from me but if i don't try i wouldn't know right??
I guess i'll go put up a profile page in my blog and see what happens. >.<
still trying to figure it out...
http://pipopaz.wordpress.com/
Tarzan, I was thinking the same thing but I reached this conclusion. Make it Interesting, show a positive feeling of what you do. It might not be your dream job, but you give it your all, that is what matters and will be noticed ^^

"live your dreams" - as dreams are meant to be materialized in reality and not suspended in the realm of imagination ^w^

Wow Danny, that's one epic "About" page!
Most people I read usually split it into several pages, an "About" and then a "Resume". The "About" containing the personal stuff, and the abridged version of the resume, and the resume having everything else.
I guess it works if those who read it are serious; seeing as this way they'll only read one page, as we all lose people through click-throughs.
Epic stuff.

I never bothered with creating a good 'about me' or profile page because I thought I just didn't have anything worth putting. But, I realized that if you don't put anything that's worse than putting a few things, even if they are small. Which is way i'm going to start taking it serious and working hard from now on. Once again Danny, you have inspired to continue working and move forward, thanks. P.S: The html thing in the intro was something I thought it will go nice with my comment since I want to be a web designer and i'm currently learning on my own ^^

Seeker of ways to return to Tokyo soon.
You`ve had and have an amazing life Mr.Choo!After reading most all of your site back in june 09 you inspired me to visit japan to see if some of the stories were true.And they are,the city`s are clean I did`nt see any potholes in the streets.The people are kind and go out of their way to please you!I Only saw 3 homeless people in tokyo!
Had some weird food choices,canned grapes,8 slice loafs of bread, cow-piss water.Was accually good,dries out your mouth like coke does.
Got pics of the weirdest low-rider 2 seater scooter that I`ve ever seen,reminds me,do an article on japanese cars and motorcycles,there are vehicles that I`ve never seen before which are quite good to look at!
Read something about the police overthere harrassing anyone wearing a camoflage backpack,I happen to have one.In the 6 days that I was there I got searched 3 times,not including the airport security people.
You really need to do a article on how funny it is to watch people trying to sleep upright on the morning/evening trains!Laughed my butt-off at so many trying to fight gravity whenever the train would turn or squeeze the breaks to fast!
Rode on a bus in kyoto that I swear had 50 people on it!I could not for the life of me stop from laughing!We were so squished together that I could`nt move,whenever the bus turned I was expecting it to fall over,instead there was a collective wwwwooooaaa!Followed by laughter!
I got to see the life size gundam!30 years they`ll have one walking!Went to the cyberdyne studios thingy but they only had the legs of the suit that day I was disappointed.Laughed when I saw the Terminator statue inside,as Cyberdyne caused the end of the world in the movies.
Soon as they have a working 'red' or 'blue' suit ready I`m gonna get one!From the little movie that they show.
We were riding on the bullet train when a huge rain storm hit us,it broke our train as well as 3 other ones.I think it was on july 18-19,anyway they put us and 2 other trains worth of passengers on one train for the rest of the ride.It was on the evening news that day.
Sadly I only got to see akihabara for 40 minutes then I had to go catch my flight home!
Upset that in the temples in kyoto would`nt allow pictures taken inside the buildings,I know it has something to do with the camera flash fading the art.but still!Oh and I`m afraid to say that I went 12,000 miles to eat at mcdonalds,theres one 2miles from my home.You sure that the meat really is meat?Had a chicken sandwich that was 95 percent fat and grissel!
I would definitly go back for another visit,maybe in 2011.
i like all the figures!!i wish i will have all of them..!

because of his resume, photos and some words I decided to learn web design and open an online cake business with my girlfriend (though I might change my mind in a couple of days, I'm lazy and I always listen to my girlfriend); I'll get back to you in a couple of years and if I failed, bad karma to choo :)

Hi Danny,
I am currently doing a school project on the topic of "Otaku Culture", and some misconception surrounding it.
I am seeking permission to use one of your photos in the project.
The photo I would like to use is:

No amount of wishing could prepare anyone to every even try to be in the same league as Mr. Choo.
A hero that give others hope, that should be enough...
No matter how mush we respect him or even want to be like him, its pretty much imposable, but maybe someday....

I don't really know what to say.
I admire your enthusiatium and the passion that goes into your work.
I love looking at all your photos and reading your articles. I can't wait to go to Japan myself.
I hate the boring. You have made my day far more interesting and brought a smile to my face.
:/ Sorry, I'm don't really know what to say. You've probably heard it all before though, so I guess I'll end by saying- the world needs more people like you. We need more interesting and creative people in this world. I can't wait until the day I get to see Japan with my own eyes. XD First thing first though, I need to save, save, save!
さようならチョウsさん (hehe, sorry. Wasn't sure if it was pronouced Choo or Chuu. My friend spells it same way but pronouces it Chuu).

Is there anywhere we can discuss your needs for a 3D artist.
Long story short I'm a self taught 3d animator who specializes in animated shorts.
my highlighted work is most likely the short video Haloid & Dead Fantasy
