 There's nothin' "real" about it, dude! But anyway, I'm just surprised and amused he'd travel here just for McD's. But then, if I were in Japan, I'd probably try the "real" Yoshinoya, so...
That's probably because it's in Seattle, where they actually care what they put in their bodies.

Actually, the funny thing is most Japanese are of the opinion that true American Macdonald's are way worse than the Japanese ones.
And... they're right . Japanese macdonald's food is way better than american; their fries are also hot and properly salted, the burgers are put together properly and in the right proportions. Everything is made to order, and even the chicken nuggets have real meat in them (I think)!
I'm not sure I can go back to "normal" macdonalds anymore...

I didn't try McDonalds while I was in Tokyo, but I did try the highly regarded Mosburger and a homemade burger at a festival booth. I appreciate what the Japanese try to do with burgers, but that doesn't change the fact that their patties have the consistency of particle board. Then again, I don't eat at American McDonalds either. |

Oh yeah, the meat in Japanese burgers is probably 80% sawdust and/or tofu. However, there ARE places in Tokyo to get a serious burger. You just have to pay a decent amount and know where to look. The easy solution is to just go to a western restaurant like TGI Fridays or even Sizzler. They sell good hamburgers same as in the states for maybe $8-$9. Mosburger is crappy, in my opinion. Actually Macdonald's is a bit better. Freshburger is pretty good, though; their buns are very fresh and they actually had a good tomato slice. Also, there was a place in the Kyoto JR station which sold authentic Texas burgers (it was a branch from a local store in dallas, I think), which was quite the find .
Uh... yeah, I kind of have been searching for a good burger since I've been living in Japan. Heh .
Finding a good burger is not so hard. On the other hand, finding a decent TACO in tokyo is damn near impossible. I have yet to find something I would even refer to as a taco here. I'm sure it must exist somewhere (maybe I need to scour Roppongi), but so far all mexican food I've found in Tokyo has been severely lacking. The best taco I had I actually had at a Taco Bell on the Yokosuka Naval base (ya know, where that rape happened a while ago). But that doesn't count! |

As much as I like to join in and talk about food; let's not forget that this show is not done with English Dialogue. And Espeically for a show that's riding on the coattails of Fushigi Yuugi.
Let's not lose focus, people. Those circus clowns over at BVUSA still believe that they're superior since they don't need to change for the foreign audience. Not only are these people wrong, they've basically bent over so companies like Funimation, Viz, and Tokyopop can kick their collective rear end. |

You will be proven wrong in due time. The era of ubiquitous dubbing is over. I've never bought a BV USA disc, but I just know they aren't going to go away any time soon. |

You should contact me when there's no more anime being broadcasted on American syndicated TV, cable, and satellite. No, seriously. The most popular anime created by and for the Japanese audience are also the most depressing crap to waste time on. It seemed that nobody payed any attention when the guy from Funimation said "adventure/action spoke louder than anything else." Two companies had opened the can of worms, JapanAnime and BVUSA, and stated that they're not gonna waste a dime on hiring English speakers for the characters in the anime they licensed. And now you guys are talking about food. Hey. Whatever. I'll see you all in ten years.
