    NPR - Big fat anime introspective with reviews and music. LISTEN!!!1

    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=4492335

    LOOK WHAT I FOUND!

    I'm listening to the Jan. 31st one now, not done yet. So far names dropped: Pokemon, Yugioh, Nintendo, Playstation, Miyazaki, Gundam Wing, Blood: The Last Vampire, Astro Boy, Speed Racer, etc.

    If you wanna know why the Japanese sometimes wear geta with only one hell, LIS'N. Lots of stuff on Japan and its culture, told through a British writer's son who's as obsessed with Japan as some of us probably are.

    Magnificent.

        I find that sentiment echoed a lot. Those not familiar w/ it think it's soooooo cool, but then those who get too familiar w/ it really resent it. Part of it is their attitude towards Westerners, right?

          Part of it is their attitudes towards ANYTHING. I did a psychology paper on them for a history class and they are...

            I think most of the hatred comes from the stupid way they do things there. although their customs and such are getting more westernized, it'll be a long time until they're tolerable to foreigners.

              "Goon-dahm"

              "mobile suit, thats the japanese word for robot, right?"

                  I did too but the mispronunciation (In a supernatural turn of translation, YES, Gundam is actually pronounced how it LOOKS, asshat!) was pretty lame.

                  And I had a fine time in Japan, and I know others who did. Maybe you guys are just JERKS.

                  Jerks like the JAPANESE.

                    I'd actually like to go to Japan and witness one of those horribly bloody wrestling events they have.
