No times are available yet, but I'm sure the info will be updated soon.

    Apparently they're about to release a sake flavored kit kat. Sounds gross but I'll try it.

    I'm curious, is it mostly sitcoms or dramas?

    All dramas, but some are those dramas with a dash of humor, like the CSI type stuff.

    I don't really watch that stuff in Japanese or English though, so I can't actually say what the shows are, other than a lot of serious people saying serious things.

    Although sometimes during the day you'll catch a rerun of Friends or Full House, and that's always good for a dumb laugh.

    You know what is good

    Rice balls

    I posit that America would be better if rice balls were more widely available

    Imagine it

    You are late for a meeting and are hungry
    So you stop by the store and grab a quick, portable fried chicken rice ball

    What a beautiful world it would be

    I hear they have six seasons in Japan, each more beautiful than any season in another part of the world.

    I've never watched the original show, but this is a Good Dub.

    Like I would be tempted to watch this just for the language practice.

    When it comes time to learn another language a big deciding factor is going to be the kind of media it will allow me to consume more easily

    Mandarin is a language with practical applications for me because it's spoken by default by a ton of my wife's family

    But Chinese media is terrible

    French has a lot of cool books and some cartoons

    Japanese has some stuff though, it sure do...

    It's strange when you get used to dubbing.

    Like, early in my childhood, I watched All Dogs Go to Heaven dubbed in Cantonese. That's how the movie solidified itself in my head, so when I finally saw it in English, it was all super-weird for me.

    You know what's good? Japanese restaurants. @Sier and I went to a nice place with @Tofystedeth and @Rie during PAX South.

    The food was so delicious.

    How do you make rice balls, anyway

    What specific way you gotta cook that rice to get the right amount of sticky in there

    There was a clip in there for the Japanese dub of Dark Knight

    And not that anyone could really do Ledger's Joker voice justice, but his Japanese voice is soooo baaaad

    Speaking of weeaboos, the other day I broke down and decided to wear a black tee shirt to class.

    I normally hate black tee shirts, especially the ones with a witty phrase in white writing on the front, because in my mind that kind of shirt tends to signal a very specific kind of "mean nerd" personality. Probably not entirely fair of me, but whatever.

    But my sister got me this shirt for Christmas in 2014 and I felt guilty about not wearing it at all since then, and it has some color on it and anyways it's just community college so who cares, right?

    Yeah, 3 separate people came up to me and asked if I knew where the anime club met. This was all before noon, while I was studying by myself on a corner sofa.

    Never again.
