ドーナツダメ!
I got a chance to meander around the Mecca that is Akiba the last couple days and some things I noticed.

All the arcades are having a huge Re:Zero campaign for (I'm guessing) the OVA that's on it's way.
All the pachinko joints are doing a big Madoka Magica campaign for whatever gently caress-if-I-know reason. I guess Shaft just completed a big merchandising deal with the Pachinko mob? Looks like they're itching to muscle into Gainax's territory, now. :getin:

The 30th anniversary for Jojo is still going strong. I want both of these displays in my room, now!

We've successfully counterinfected the Japanese market.

This is the best thing I saw all day, though.

People often ask me if I want to live in Japan, and more explicitly Tokyo(I've been going there on and off since 2007 in job-related trips). I often tell them that I am not all that inclined to live there. But it's thanks to remembering places like Electric Town, Kichijoji's many merry-making places, the insanity of Shibuya having all the awesome cafes / music venues you could possibly want (the Unit and Liquid Room are probably my faves), that I sometimes get the itch to just stop pussy-footing and move there, even if the immigration test is probably hard as poo poo.

When I went to Japan this year. The culture shock kinda gave me the urge to want to move to japan. But once I came back to the Netherlands. That urge has gone.
Very nice and polite country though.
Next vacation will be either Korea or China. Maybe Taiwan

That's the opposite of culture shock. Culture shock is when you move to a new country and the differences in just about every single thing you do drive you slowly insane over time.

Exactly. It looks like someone did a 2-door conversion and a bodykit to a honda accord or something. Ugly.

I like the R32 because it's a track monster and is why the series got dubbed godzilla, I like the R34 because it looks :krad:, but the R33 just doesn't do anything for me

I test-drove a Honda CR-Z once. I really liked the styling, the interior was kind of cool, and it drove decently well, but you couldn't see out the back or sides of it.

I wonder how expensive a full wrap like that is. If I ever get a JDM car I'll definitely put at least a few anime stickers on it

Personally, the only car I give one flying gently caress about is the Ford Mustang '73 Mach 1. Everything else is "Eh, it's convenient" or "That is certainly a car". :shrug:

The triple exhaust outlet on the new one is kind of cool, and I think I'd rather have a hatchback than a coupe or sedan. It's also awesome that it comes with a stick shift. The exterior styling is a little too boy racerish, though.
