So I started doing some doujinshi translation to help my Japanese out a bit. Needless to say it’s been a tiresome effort. Though it got me thinking – the acceptance (specifically, sale and distribution) of doujinshi in today’s day and age is a mystical thing. However, if you know anything about Japanese culture (and you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
If there’s anything I’ve learned about Japanese culture, it’s that there is a time and a place for everything. The language doesn’t just have ~9 different levels of politeness on how to ask a question, its also supports the strict social norms for not asking about people’s individual thoughts, ideas, or emotions. The way you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In a galaxy far, far, away there lies the Kingdom of Biscuit – a large modern kingdom led by a pink-haired charismatic princess, it’s military commanded by the great knight Eclair, and it’s research led by the orange-furred-artillery-tactician Ricotta. Ever since my adventures through Wanko to Kurasou I’ve never been able to stay away from […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So here are the TV-size lyrics for the Nichijou （日常）OP. If you suck at Japanese you can put them in a romanji translator or something and try to get lucky. Maybe I’ll put up the hiragana later. Separated them by male (blue), female (pink), and both (green) – via thisguy. Just figured I’d let you […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

So it’s time for the… soul jem exploding… time traveling mental breakdown of aliens….eating their own bodies…. KYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBEEHHHHHH!! Theory fight…showtime! *cue Big O theme*
Hope and despair balance out to zero.
So, as you guys know ggkthx subs has included a few commercials into their fansub releases. So, I thought I’d look into some other Japanese commercials…
Paladin of Wandering Love (Sayaka Miki) 美樹・さやか Wish: “Fix my boyfriend’s body!” Black Guard of Lost Desire (SAYAKA) サヤカ Wish: “Restore my humanity.” Will Sayaka close her heart or remain true to herself?
So far Madoka has brought us magical girl fightan, Gensokyo portal teleportan, unlimited gun works, contracts, and bucklers – but what’s the value of it all? The collaboration work between Shaft and Nitro+ staff (as the main story for Madoka is written by the author of Saya no Uta) is pushing the limits of the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
