Hee. Watching some Science Ninja Team Gatchaman with Jon and heard Tiny Ryu come out with a real life "Yatta!".

I so want to learn some Japanese. Any language which ends the sentence "I'm a trickster who doesn't know solitude" with the word "trickster" has to be worth investigating.

Kate Kate Kate Kate Kate!

If you guys like Gatchaman I bet you'll LOVE sentai. It's the CRACKIEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE. It's Power Rangers in Japan; made there first and then remade into PR. But sentai is crackier and sillier and darker and funnier.

veoh.com and crunchyroll.com have entire series available to watch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sentai will give you more info.

Suggest you have a look at Go-onger & Timeranger in particular. Go-onger's the current one and incredibly cracky. Timeranger's a lot more serious & was done in 2000.

You can pick up all sorts of Japanese from it, and it's FUN! Here's some cracky picspam: http://radio-clash.livejournal.com/126151.html#cutid1

Join usssss, Kate! Cooooome to the dooooork siiiiiide.....

omg that looks insane. THAT GUY HAS AN ACTUAL ANIME HAIRSTYLE. I didn't think those were possible under real-life gravity and atmospheric conditions. I will definitely check this out.

Yay!!!

Sosuke's (Red) hair is IMPRESSIVE. This show is absolutely hilarious and very slashy too (Red & Blue are SO married). You have to see the ending!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT4ORrdlcIY

The beginning's also fun, very catchy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMDxa6J1sis

To watch the whole series though go to crunchyroll or Veoh and search on go-onger 1, timeranger 1, etc. etc. etc.

The other series are also slashy & hilarious but often a lot darker. I've cried at sentai many a time, don't think I've ever cried at Power Rangers!

Mmm, sentai.

Trivia time: three shows were gonna comprise the reworked anime dub called Voltron but they scaled back to two at the last minute, too late to stop all three sets of toys hitting the shops with the Voltron label.

The third man show:

Ooh! I used to LOVE Voltron.

Sentai's overtaken my love for it now, however, and I've tossed Voltron aside to lay in the dirty gutter of my subconscious.

......I really need to stop eating so much sugar.

voltron reminded me of speed racer, but as a teen i almost immediately forsook it for robotech, which had love triangles. when i finished taping all of robotech *that* was almost immediately unwatchable because the narrator is incredibly irritating when you know the plot.

Oh, we are going to have SOOOO much to talk about when you next visit.

Japanese is *hard*, but I am picking up bits and bobs.

Kamikaze but shinigami? Is that a freakin' soft mutation?! *PH34RS*

So you can say things like, koban wa doku, desu ka? (Where is the police box?)

Asoko da. Yaho! Dokutaa Hu sama! Aa! Ro-zu chan! Eigo de, "ro-zu" no imi wa botan desu.

"In English, "rose" doesn't mean "button", if you please."

[theta-g.livejournal.com]

Kore wa botan desu.
