Hehe, especially not if you ever want to see Last Order, which was pretty damned cool. Don't download fansubs, oh, and go pick yourself up a hair shirt while you're at it. |

"Nihon" (日本) read in cantonese sounds like "yut boon" (pitch is low+flat for first character and then rising for second character).
Yes I registered on just to say that. |

Just out of curiosity, why is no profanity allowed in that contest?

Because, for the sake of younger viewing audiences, and because swearing generally isn't very funny. |

FYI, I work for Gamestop and the release date we're telling customers is
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=067985 January 10th. We generally don't give specific dates unless we've been told a specific date by a represntitive somewhere in Sony, so this is the latest official release date. However, I've been telling people who inquire that it'll be out sometime in the next 4 to 9 months, and that the PS3 will be out in the US in the next 1-4 years, and will retail for about $500-$1500, whenever Sony nails down some Specs and sticks with them. On a personal note, I'm hoping "we're not remaking FFVII for PS3" means "but we are making it for XBox 360, because Sony has made Square Enix pissed off too." |

A good editorial. Nice to know some background history on Japan. (I didn't even know Hajime Saitoh was a real person, can't wait to learn that sometime in my highschool life)
As for the flake of the week... I wouldn't really be surprised, some people actually mistake the editing done to Dragonball Z Season 1 and 2 4Kids fault, but FUNimation is releasing the DVDs Uncut, with the Japanese audio with English subtitles, so theres always an option. Aww, cute little kitten on tree! |

Last weekend I was speaking at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. When I told a group of school kids that Saito really existed I thought one girl was going to fly out of her chair she was so excited. Me I'm jazzed that Romulus Hillsborough's book on the Shinsengumi is finally out. I'm checking local stores for it every day.
Then there are people who use Nippon 'cause it's cool. Will you be in Yokohama in 2007? http://www.nippon2007.org/ |

Anyway Zac, keep those Flakes of the Weeks coming, I need continuous reassurance that I'm not the only person that gets stuff like that. (Sadly, sometimes in real life too.)

Well, Nippon is often used when the context is something relating to politics, nationalism or national pride - like a WorldCon, which (to my mind at least) is a big deal. To put forth a few (tongue-in-cheek) examples from popular humour, you can have the Happa Tai singing of how Nippon kyuukyuu, or the Rahmens doing a skit on Nippon no suteki na todoufuken...

From what I've read, the word Japan which was supplied to Marco Polo by the Chinese literally means (in their language) "Land of the rising sun". This is because Japan is in the direction the Sun rises from China.
