ReplyDeleteBtw.. have you heard anything about if GnT will host a batsu this new year? if so has there been any details on what is going to take place? oO
Great podcast as always!
ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my question ;) i'll try to find more questions for the show.
see ya next time!
I think Yamazaki said "Akan" during the Hotel Man game yelling at Tanaka. Also, yokai are pretty interesting now that there's an anime for them called "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan". It's become one of my favorite anime to watch because it's like the other side of Kekkaishi, and it reminds me of Inuyasha too.
ReplyDeleteAnother insightful podcast.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering whether you had seen this clip or not http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ORnokFgrwI ,
and if Razor Ramon is still popular in Japan?
In reference to how much curry there is, I feel like since curry is so popular in japan, it is no different than frozen pizza or something here. There are sooo many. I just thought I'd compare the two. Great translation, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI was laughing at Shibata-san saying '駄目!' and 'あかん!' with so much feeling. Kyahaha.
Whatever happened to しん発売?
