I wonder if you know, how they live in tokyo...
Friday, October 12, 2007

Konichiwa mina-san, which is "Hello everybody" in japanese. Whats up with the Japanese craze you say? I should say lots of people are fans of Japanese Animes or cartoons ranging from Pokemon to Digimon and even Doreamon. So whats the difference between American Cartoons and Japanese Cartoons? The Americans aka the "Ang Mohs" cartoons are B-O-R-I-N-G. Even though they claim that they are very open-minded but in actual fact, they censored everything so that the minds of the youngsters won't be corrupted but thats bullshit.
Heres some trivia for you guys..


These 2 are the same cards but one of them is in Japanese and the other is in English(We can see that dude.)The name of the card in Japanese which got the word Bloo-D on it and most of the cards they reprint in English, it will follow the Japanese name but however Blood to their context is not suitable for children as Yu-Gi-Oh is quite popular with children thus they renamed it to Plasma which scientifically is something found in blood.



Observe carefully my fellow readers... The Japanese version got a cleavage and there is this hexagon thingy( like some sort of cult thingy) on her clothes wheras the English version got a flat chest and the hexagon is replaced by a ruby.

Anonymous: Pokemon is from Amelica lah! Who say from Japan one..

Yes when Pokemon was introduced in Singapore, what we saw was English versions as the "Ang mohs" got tons of money so they bought over the rights of the so-called cartoon call Pokemon thus they can reproduce it in their language. Similarly, Card games like Yu-Gi-Oh,Pokemon,Duel Masters and Naruto Trading Card Games are originally from Japan.

American Cartoons
-Simpsons
-Batman
-Spiderman
-Superman
-Smurfs
-Looney Toons

Japanese Cartoons
-DragonBall
-Sailormoon
-Digimon
-Pokemon
-Rockman

Okay, some of these are old cartoons but who cares, kids central are showing them everyday, trying to tell us that they do not have enough money to purchase new cartoons to air.
Now lets talk about my interest in Japanese Animes.Recently, i watched quite a few animes at crunchyroll/youtube of course.. don't wanna be caught by that company Odex of dling illegally from bittorrents. There is something special in those animes that will make you think about it all day long, from the jutsus(Skills, techniques) they use, the plot and the fighting scenes. So being the easily-manipulated type of person, i was hooked on to this anime called Naruto.
This cartoon is situated in a ninja type of world where children as young as 12 years old have already killed someone. The ninjas in the cartoon uses wide range of skills and strategies which make the fighting very interesting. I somehow influenced Joel and Philbert into this anime too thus we somehow had a common topic other then gaming eh.

The shirts the characters in the cartoon wear are of one-of-a-kind type thus we have what we call cosplays. Cosplayers are people who dressed up like the characters in the animes but a set of the costumes cost about 150 bucks! So i just bought SOME of the items from the cartoon like...

Naruto Headband which allows you to pledge alliance to a village and a pouch.

A pair of ninja boots which allows you to fly from buildings to buildings while wearing them.

Naruto's Deckboxes to keep Trading Cards. Imported from America.

Naruto Collectible cards.

Eh if you don understand what the hell am i talking about, what naruto whatsoever you can just go to wikipedia and find out. Don't say i didn't warn you, you will fall in love with animes after watching some of them.
