OMG, I'm actually siding with Raven here. Remind me to comit seppuku if this ever happens again.
Love the Japanese, did a semester over there and I want to go back for a year in Tokyo once my service period is up. Their women are about the same percentage dog/fine as most western women, although I will admit, there seem to be more fine Korean women here in the states than there are japs.
Love the food, sushi is the best (it takes a real man to eat a raw fish) and I could live on Ramen (real Ramen, not the Cup-o-Crap kind) and Boa beer.
Their culture is VERY funky, but its what happens when you force a warrior culture into a suit and tie. Its the bastard child of east and west. Amoung odd japanese obsessions are big tits (its an american thing too), anything Nazi, giant robots, poetry that doesnt rhyme, and realy awful tea in a realy great ceremony.
I'll admit, I'm an addict to Anime, spend over a grand on it every year, not including the stuff I get through my friends. Besides guns its my only other addiction.
