Ahhh… so it's the Informal Past Affirmative of ??…?I should have guessed it was something like that, based on the -ita ending. Now I get it, though. Thanks! And thanks for the explanation of how the expression developed. That's the sort of thing they don't usually put in the books. And I'm not sure...

Apparently you can buy the little figure now. Considering that all anime characters are made up for one show or another, this one isn't really any different, but it's better to think of it more as the mascot. The only possible reason I could think that it would need carrots up it's arse would be so...

He IS. They were intentionally making that clear. Not just the comment, the biggest give away is you see him wearing the exact same bracelet as the guy in the flash back. Now I'm really confused. Your comments are all true and I thought it was him as well, with the comment about losing someone beca...

The reason why some Asians pronounce English words differently is simply because they weren't raised in an English-immersed environment. As the saying goes, an old dog can't be taught new tricks. People are usually in high school when they learn English formally in class, and by then, it's harder t...

Re: Chiming in...
I've been reading the posts and most of the pertinent points have already been raised, but let's summarize for the sake of completeness and clarity. I am by no means an expert, but I have studied Japanese extensively, interact with Japanese people on a very frequent basis, and learned a thing or tw...

On the flip side, most Japanese words that have gotten adopted into english are mispronounced. Japanese is a pitch tone language, and doesn't stress any syllable more than another. In English, the stress is usually on the second syllable. Commonly misprounced/misspelt Japanese words Sake is prounoun...

No. It's not just a short way of saying Japan/Japanese. I know that Aussies regualrly use it without any deragatory context, but in the States, it has a lot of historical baggage, and is considered deragatory. The beauties of globalization, or globalisation, depending on where you're at. But this is...

i think those kids are there to add to Yamada's otakuness. They refer to him as Chorou ???a title meaning elder. He's not just anime otaku, but also like a video game otaku. Those are train stations, and to be more specific I believe they're for the JR Sobu Kaisoku (express) trains, at least the one...

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... :O I never thought of that. That would evolve a conflict between his boss and him though then wouldn't it? Since he is like in love ...
