The manga went south afterwards, IMO. This doesn’t give me much hope in the 2nd season of the show.

Yellow Cake ;)

Edit: my bad. I thought this was a list for beginners in Japanese ^^;;;

A word of warning. Yotsuba uses lots of informal grammar structures so you would end up looking many of those. There are some reading packs on the Internet to help you through the manga.

Just like Evangelion 3.0, right? .....right!?

You would think, by now, Nintendo would have developed a better understanding of the development process and could give more accurate estimation of the release date from the get go. This is unless they are using this as a marketing strategy of sorts to keep people talking about the game.

The 85x real time segment lasted about 5 seconds. So flew in the darkness for around 7 minutes. Wow!

Yeah, I cycled there from Yokohama a few times. The route throw Kanazawa is nice. A friend's friend used to throw parties in his spacious apartment there. Good times.

Not everything is from Tokyo Metropolis, however.

It could but the position of the controls looks a bit uncomfortable. The center of gravity on the tablet would work against it.

Hmm, you have to ope the car hood every time you need to charge your vehicle? That doesn't seem too convenient.

Reminds me of an anime from 1980 called ムーの白鯨 "The White Whale of Mu", which was based on the story of Moby Dick.

Yeah, but it is still prevalent in literature. Novels are usually written vertically so they progress from right to left. The most consumed printed media, manga, also progressed from right to left. It's a big part of the culture, hence.

One of the things that bugged me about the game is the lack of lip syncing during the animated sequences. Other than that, it's my favorite JPRG on the PS1.

I'm quite disappointed that none of the new Android/Windows phones are sporting a Type C connector. Hopefully, Android M devices will get the upgrade.

Because 300ppi as the limit is debatable.

Minimum wage in Tokyo is currently 888yen an hour. If you're a full-time employee, you will be getting be getting paid on 40 hr/wk basis (many companies would only compensate for 30 hours of overtime work a month; but expect to work way more than that in traditional companies).

...Each month at Pierrot I earn about $1000. ...... each month at my previous "slave-labor" studio, I earned about $300 a month...

Yeah, the Coke part killed for me as well and seemed absolutely unnecessary XD

Scribd is great and I love it, but the way their app runs on my Android 4.1.2 device is be a bit sluggish. Sometimes playback would stop abruptly upon opening other apps. Getting it to play again could be a hassle and might require restarting the app.
