I have watched Tampopo many years ago. It's interesting from a cultural point of view but yet it talks about stuff that we face everyday, food, sex, love, etc. Azumi 1 and 2 rock! The best Japanese action movies I have seen. Audition is a very suspenseful movie. Scary for the faint of heart. Twlight...

Re: Japanese way of English pronunciation
Rather than direct you to an incomplete list, I'd recommend using Babelfish: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Type in the English word, then use English-to-Japanese, and it'll kick out the Katakana version if necessary, or the Hiragana/Kanji translation if there's one available. --- goink Thanks for...

Japanese way of English pronunciation
Side Question: I have noticed some references to English words in Japanese. Their pronunciation is a bit difference. Benoist (The tea brand), Computers, etc. Does someone know if there are any websites that talk about these "foreign" words and their proper japanese pronunciation? I mean, I...

Stupid Yamada!!!!!!!!! Why would he pick anime convention over super hot Saori =__= So dumb, and then for her to find her. Serves him right for trying to get away with lieing. I thought he would've learned his lesson from the whole surfing thing and all. And that basketball player clearly saying he...

The shi is indeed fairly formal as you two have already figured out. It's commonly used in a lot of technical (often times hobby related) publications*, and looks to be used in this case to imply respect for each other's expertise in Otaku related subjects. *This is the case with the Japanese DIY e...

How about her family? A lot of troubles ahead for Yamada. I get the idea that Aoyama's brother is going to help out Yamada... so he should go okay with his backing... I think this drama needs more antagonists. The forum followers are big supports of Yamada. The OL is the obvious antagonist now. To ...

I agreed with what Kyusaku and Molokidan said. Spoiler follows... That's a turning point and it's going to be an uphill battle for Yamada who threw away the only virtue that Saori appreciates. That itself would make a good drama. Well, things definitely would heat up in ep 7 and on. How about her fa...
