Re: Game of the year 2014?
I feel like most of my 2014 was spent playing games from 2013. The single best gaming experience I had all year was playing Etrian Odyssey IV over the summer, a game from 2013. It prepared me for Persona Q which is my favorite new 3DS this year. On the Wii U, the best game I played is Smash Bros. I ...

Re: Sailor Moon 24 released
I wonder which will happen first, us completing this run of PGSM or the release of the new anime.

Re: Staff Introduction
I taught myself some kana using some Sailor Moon manga and a dictionary. Then I took 3 years of Japanese at college. But I don't feel like I really started to learn the language, until I was forced to use it every day in Japan. I've also TAed in basic and intermediate classes and have taken part in ...

Re: KR Wizard 20/CM/Last Engage released
Nice to see Izam as Beelzebub, he was also Cutie Kenko back in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Act Zero. I am happy to see that Haruto has been getting different types of rings that aren't purely offensive.

Re: Ni no Kuni
I wanted to get one of my friends who had only watched all of the Ghibli films in English to appreciate the original Japanese dialogue, only to learn that the subs were simply dubtitles. It's a shame that happened with this game as well. When I watch any Ghibli films, I do my best to listen to get t...

Re: KR Wizard 17 released
Great episode, the new Rider seems to be fun. His need to eat the phantoms reminds me of certain plot elements from Madoka Magika. I have a terrible aversion to mayonnaise so having that poured on donuts was a bit traumatizing. In Japan, I recall a few teachers bringing their own bottles of mayo eve...

Re: Go-Busters 42 Released
I really enjoyed this episode. Youko and Umeko need to get together and sing "We are all alive." I immediately remembered the first episode of Dekaranger that I watched 8 years ago. Hearing all the train announcements as seeing the ads in the background made me miss the Japanese Transit sy...

Re: Go-Busters 41 released
What a fun episode. The fight scenes were pretty good and glasses really suit Hiromu. I would buy a Pink Buster Ranger Key if they made one. I know I am not the only one who wished she had used the Morphin Brace right?

Re: KR Wizard 12 released
I enjoyed this episode, I was glad to see Haruto use the Dragon Hurricane. I thought they would hold off on that until the next episode. As soon as I saw the manju chef, I recognized him as the actor who played eccentric pianist in Kamen Rider Den-O. It was weird to hear him talk so much in Wizard s...

Re: Thinking about age in relation to entertainment
So what are you doing now that you're back in the states? I'm a librarian at a small collection affiliated with a college. I thought I would be a teacher after JET, but ended up going for a Masters in Library Science. I'm also trying to master Japanese by taking the JLPT. Going for the N2 on Sunday.

Re: Thinking about age in relation to entertainment
I lived in Japan for a few years as a member of the JET program. During my time there, I worked with some teachers who were closeted Toku fans. It would only surface after a few drinks and some karaoke at an Enkai. I made it known that I am a Sailor Moon fan, but it was just chalked up to me being a...

Re: Go-Busters 22 released
Keyroid totally reminded me of the Daimon Doorknobdar from Sailor Moon S. Similar to Keyroid, Doorknobdar had the ability to look doors, but unlike Keyroid, she was terribly lacking in combat. I couldn't stop laughing when the stomped on the Megazord good stuff. Escape is really awesome, I wonder if...

Re: KR Fourze 42 released
What an awesome episode so much happened so fast. Gamou's is a pretty awesome main villain, I really hope there is no one higher than him especially after he dominated both Meteor and Fourze. Sagittarius' must be proud. Preview At this point I don't trust anything anymore. This too can be another re...

Re: Go-Busters 20 released
I don't typically watch Super Sentai for the mecha battles, but I always look forward to them in Go-Busters. May have to pick up some the figures for this series. Still trying the ending theme dance. Go let's go!
