Thanks for this interesting post. I love Japan & have always wanted to go there….you lucky bast*rd, ha ha! I’m wondering if you speak or read Japanese because this seems to be the main problem I would have if I went there. How did you “get around”? Anyways, thank 4 the pix, they were cool.

So. Jealous. Japan looks like heaven… or the future.
I love Kiriko, and periodically get Takeshi to send me her books, even though I can’t read one word.

heh. At the HobbyStar con C.B. Cebulski said boys underwear with Marvel logo (and I guess characters) sell like crazy to girls. They don’t buy it for their kids, but just something that’s cute to have.

You and Andrew went on a coming of age adventure with Maetel and Tetsuo? What was planet Gun Frontier like? Did the Machine Planet suck? I heard it sucked. Does Captain Harlock looks like Johnny Depp in real life? Is Emeraldas single? Were you shocked to find out your dad wears a big ass metal hat?

I have a lot more GALAXY EXPRESS jokes I could make, but I think I’m the only person that gets them. How about something more contemporary… did they play a lot of DAFT PUNK on that boat?
