love these guys. caught onto them in the mid 90’s. it’s like listening to ambient trance after a night of NIN, KMFDM and FLA. a palate cleanser for my ears.

Vevo’s usually ok in Hong Kong and Japan. it’s Hulu that blocks everything here. luckily that only affects io9.

you can censor it from your mind by looking at Kampfer from Gundam instead. =) just like those Star Wars prequels that never happened. =P

Kampfer. probably only 2nd to Gouf as some of the coolest early UC series Mobile Suits.

i’d like a white and light grey one with a couple wolf decals.

the pics don’t show the 三倍速 antenna that’s in the promo video...

did Blanka bite Necro and it spawned a weird pus child?

i’m hoping at least some of these gamers’ parents would’ve showed them how awesome This Is Spinal Tap and Princess Bride are.

last i heard in North America it was 18% and they put it on the machine when you ask for the bill, so they can make you feel guilty when pressing the decline button.

that’s what i meant when i specified beef over raw fish, post war Japan likely didn’t have a lot of beef to eat, which could be a reason why your family members who lived in Japan back then weren’t aware of sukiyaki, but it could be more well known in non-coastal US states. also, even in the early 80’s, almost all…

are you using 2015 as your reference point or was sushi something well known in the 60’s in the US? i did find a passage mentioning sukiyaki though, which considering the American appetite for beef over raw fish, it seems more plausible that sukiyaki would be better accepted, as would teriyaki and teriyaki sauce.…

the black travel alert was only for Hong Kong citizens.

lol.... ok, got it. anime for girls are niche. now i understand your perspective.

hey, don’t forget Usui Yoshito (Crayon Shinchan) or Momoko Sakura (Chibi Maruko-chan).

thank you and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

thank the gods it’s not an Akiba sales poll, or the top positions will go to Fate/Nanoha/Magica and Love Live/Idolmaster.

nice! so many great tips from you guys~

cool. it’s sort of on the way to Banaue where i want to end up so yeah, thanks for the tip!

really? i don’t think Card Captor Sakura is exactly niche in Japan, but it is a bit aged. but i do agree their other stuff in the same universe(xxxHolic, Tsubasa Chronicles) are probably a bit niche as you said. i’ve been reading them since RG Veda and X so maybe i see them as more popular than they actually are.
