• JDrama Cliches Drama Discussion · 3 Aug 2005, 12:31 The Yellow hero likes curry. Sorry, just had to add something so i can just say this thread is pretty amusing. Um, what can I think of that hasn't been mentioned... The girl/woman breaking her heels. & for more sympathe…
• Densha Otoko (The Train Man) Drama Discussion · 3 Aug 2005, 12:11 Eps 3 & 4 I found even more hilarious. Internet Cinderella story is fun. Yes, when you look at it, it paints the anime otaku in a pretty painful light. The train otaku probably is not a JR employee, could be, but more o…
• Samurai/Martial Arts (Wuxia) Film Japanese Entertainment · 22 Jul 2005, 11:55 I actually haven't seen a whole lot of samurai films, but I decided to chime in. Is it just me or does Ryuhei Kitamura drive you crazy? His stuff shows so much potential but degenerates. The movie that made him famous, …
• Devilman: the movie! Japanese Entertainment · 22 Jul 2005, 11:31 Ugh, i finally got a chance to see it a couple weeks back. Major dissapointment. So bad that I can't remember too much about what I didn't like. The acting unfortunately was pretty bad. The visual effects alright. CG no…

• Food, Food, and More Food Thread General Discussion · 7 Oct 2004, 08:08 So does anyone else like Korean kraut on their dogs? I like kim chee in mine. But also sometimes like just ketchup mustard. Or kraut spinkled w/celery salt was pretty darn good. Oh, that bakery in Kaimuki, think it's Ca…
• Anime - General Discussion Thread Japanese Entertainment · 7 Oct 2004, 07:47 In my book, the best new anime right now is Fuujin Monogatari/Windy Tales. If you like Ghibli Style stuff, you will like it. It's not necessarily the art, which is very stylistic, sketchy, watercolor like, and quite nic…
• Devilman: the movie! Japanese Entertainment · 24 Sep 2004, 12:24 I'd rephrase to say using live action actors. You're implying VA are not real actors, but in my eyes (or should say ears) they are. Anyway, it's really hard to say how it will be. The trailers are pretty slick. I'd like…
• Japanese Movies/Discussion/Recommendations Japanese Entertainment · 24 Sep 2004, 12:18 It's an excellent film, but be warned do not go in expecting an actionfilled lot's of martial arts samurai film.
