LONDON — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he hoped to make progress on a World War II peace treaty with Russia and a long-simmering territorial dispute in talks Friday with President Vladimir Putin. Abe said Thursday there was great potential for unlocking better economic relations...

Those are all good brother. After watching Blue Gender, if that is an indicator as to what you like, then you will love those 4 (especially the last three). The second season of Knights of Sidonia was just recently released on blueray in Japan (the English Blueray hasn't become available yet...

50,000 rally in Tokyo for preservation of Japan's pacifist Constitution Some 50,000 people gathered at a park in Koto Ward, Tokyo, on May 3 to call for the preservation of Japan's pacifist Constitution and the scrapping of security-related laws passed last September, according to protest...

Thats fucked up.

I was actually surprised that the WHO has safety levels for that kind of thing myself but I tend to agree with you. Although I admit it does make you think twice about putting a laptop on your lap (just playing it safe here). Being religious myself I do my best to be respectful towards...

wireless routers are typically located significantly farther away from users' heads than a mobile phone the user is handling, resulting in far less exposure overall. When in doubt, consult the Wiki!! (and stay away from those alternative medicine websites, they are bad news)...

The Yomiuri Shimbun (one of the five national newspapers in Japan) Senior officials of the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Party and Komeito said in separate interviews with The Yomiuri Shimbun that it is desirable for the DP, the largest opposition party, to join in proposing...

This anime was recommended to me by our member "beansies" so I thought I would check it out and found and older torrent for this classic sci-fi/horror anime. The anime itself was pretty good, imaginitive, interesting characters and a fairly well told story. I liked it. The encode here is okay...

TOKYO — Japan marked the 69th anniversary of its Constitution on Tuesday, with a turning point possibly approaching as the upper house election in the summer will prove critical to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s goal of amending it. Abe has pushed for constitutional changes, including a...

TOKYO — Japan’s major corporations are increasingly moving to employ foreign nationals on permanent contracts, judging that the benefits of diversification are worth the challenges. Convenience store operator Lawson is among them, awarding between 10 and 30 percent of its graduate positions to...

Something I found on a blog: In Japan they report the count as strikes then balls rather than balls then strikes in the U.S. The players bow before and after a game. There's ground maintenance at end of the fifth inning. I think they do that during the seventh inning stretch in the U.S. The...

So members don't have to go searching for new or archived news articles/references in the very broad section just titled "News". Sections for Sports, Policitics, Crime and "General", (unless you can think of other needed subdivisions). We also could have a section for Technology (we could either...

I got something hanging you can ordain and minister to so feel free to put your blessing on that....for the record.

And this is why you don't bring up religion here in the main forum.....people who think they are smarter than you just have to chime in. No worries WillEater, you and others have a right to your views, even if it isn't all that necessary to voice them at any given oppurtunity. And the topic is...

It is often the other way around (visual novels and dating sims mostly) but there are still plenty of examples to choose from. Naruto spawned its' fair share so did Yu-Gi-Oh. I come across them on occasion when I research the anime before I post them in the anime torrent thread. I will try to...

Watching Blue Gender now, that is some fucked up shit....loving it. Have you seen Attack on Titan, Kinghts of Sidonia or the mecha RahXephon? Those sound right up your alley too....maybe even the mecha Zegapain. That should be enough to last for awhile ya bro. Thx again for the suggestion, I...

TOKYO — Desperately seeking an antidote to a rapidly aging population, Japanese policymakers are exploring ways to bring in more foreign workers without calling it an “immigration policy”. Immigration is a touchy subject in a land where conservatives prize cultural homogeneity and politicians...

TOKYO — Japan is abandoning a 31 billion yen satellite it sent to study black holes, disappointed space scientists said Thursday, after spending a month trying to save it. The ultra-high-tech “Hitomi”—or eye—was launched in February to find X-rays emanating from black holes and galaxy...

Probably the wrong forum to preach His word. Not that I find anything wrong with it but it just isn't that type of forum. Preaching to those that don't seek it pisses people off. Remember the text is: Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be...

Not quite that bad but I don't think the yakuza are angels. Imagine if the Italian Mafia had become an integrated part of American society for.....well for around 400 years. The Yakuza are basically subdivided into only 5 organizations in and out of Japan and they trace their roots back to...

Sometimes it is just people in general that piss me off. They expect too much from you and not enough from themselves. Humans can be some annoying creatures. People can be so hard to get along with sometimes you just don't. I don't think anyone wants it to be that way but that is just the way it...

This was a pretty good anime, great characters and an imaginative story. Too violent for the very young I would think. I don't have much criticism for this, the resolution could be better but that is not uncommon in older anime (and it is the best available, given the source). The torrent was...

Yakuza quick to mount rescue operations in Kyushu TOKYO — In the wake of the powerful earthquake and hundreds of aftershocks centered in Kumamoto Prefecture from the 14th of this month, it was not only the Japan Self Defense Force and fire brigades that dispatched emergency rescue teams to...

Aki (#5, center) is the winner of the Miss Hooters Japan 2016 Grand Prix held in Tokyo on on Monday night. Aki works at Hooters Ginza restaurant. She says her motto is to be positive in every way with courage. Her hobbies include dancing, sewing, hot spa bathing and pottery. Aki will represent...

Most anime (and manga) are targeted towards teen audiences so even the dark anime tends to be teen orientated. Look through the annime torrent section, there are that should be to your liking. Recently posted there is Shigurui: Death Frenzy, which you might enjoy. Death Parade is another one...

Naw, I don't like Jon Jones either. Saint Preux actually broke his arm in the 2nd round and still fought till the end. He was a good matchup for Jones who is used to towering over his opponents with his 84.5" reach. I don't know why Anthony Johnson has not been pitted against Jones yet but I...

The Ultimate Fighter Season 23 is on and unless you hate MMA it might be one of few reality shows worth watching. I don't watch every season of The Ultimate Fighter (commonly referred to as TUF) but I wouldn't miss this one. This season, except the finale which will be live, has already been...

UFC 197 was disappointing overall. Another argument for Fight Pass, (which I don't have atm), the Early Prelims (only 3 of them? usually 4), were some of the best action packed fights of the whole card. Jon Jones won, no big surprise against an opponent who not only has trouble making the...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Wearing black headsets with tentacle-like sensors stretched over their foreheads, the competitors stare at cubes floating on computer screens as their small white drones prepare for takeoff. “Three, two, one ... GO!” the announcer hollers, and as the racers fix their...

That is what happens when you don't take the time to upload the photo here and link to a photo somewhere else. I wonder what he was looking for.....well he has had a year to find it now.

Many protaganists (main characters) are anything but the hero type.....which, although refreshing to see, can spawn some rather uninspiring leading male and female characters. My personal favorites of this series were Shiro and Crow (who starred in the OVA). I agree with your assesment of the...

Thanks for sharing those..... Now if I could just talk you into wearing a button down shirt (the sweater vest has to go, maybe a leather jacket for cold weather??? at least denim then or even a sports jacket depending).....maybe even some slacks and definetly new shoes...loafers or hardtops...

Well....far be it for me to get all religious but there is a concept that helps me from time to time that I would share: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference. Even if...

Welcome Back!

An anime for all ages and very well done on all levels. I think the graphics were real strong considering some of the animation scenes they do and the music, of course, was not just a focal point but very enjoyable. The characters were interesting and had depth and the stories and episodes all...

Contrary to popular belief I don't mind a little disagreement, some people can't disagree without belittling others though and that leads to a tit-for-tat battle I have just grown weary of. So I don't mind if we have a different point of views on some things...that just keeps life interesting...

yeah, Ecuador has it pretty bad right now. They are just not as prepared for something like this, not that anybody could be. In Japan they have had over 500 aftershocks...which has to be some kind of record. The death toll is a helluva lot less than in Ecuador though.

That is actually, although I am not sure about historically, what happened. The Franks bought off the Vikings and made them protectors, giving them Normandy. William the Conqueror was of Viking descent (said to be a direct descendant of Rollo actually). I like history but I don't claim to be an...

Not quite sure how that is related. It was an old and regrettable incident but at the time and considering the technology available, it was a somewhat understandable one. Israel was defending itself from all sides and the USS Liberty should have had a destroyer escort to clearly mark itself as...

ESPN pisses me off. And I don't even fucking Watch ESPN anymore! I did, however, watch Curt Schilling pitch for the Phillies back in the day. A man has a right to his fucking opinion. He shouldn't be fired because he has the balls to voice it on social media. The 1st amendment to the...

Funny, JFK hasn't said a word since 1963....I don't expect him to chime in on this. Thx for the info on MCA. I honestly don't remember the 90s' that well (or the 80s' for that matter....don't drug and drink!....constantly......nonstop....bad for your memory). While I was always aware of the...

Actually Universal Studios is owned by Comcast, an American Company and one of the largest media giants in the world. To the best of my knowldge organized crime syndicates are small and diverse for the most part in the USA and constantly being pursued and shutdown little by little by the...

Good movie. I hate Georges' politics but he gives great cinema. Vera also has a fantastic singing voice. Vera used a body double in that movie though, she had recently given birth was why, not because she is shy.

I have been following a new sitcom called The Detour but I don't know if I will stay with it. It really isn't all that funny but I am drawn to anything that actually approaches originality in tv nowadays. Maybe I will give it a few more episodes....maybe not. I stopped watching The Good Wife, it...

Rescuers race to find missing Rescue crews in southwestern Japan are racing against the clock to find people missing after two powerful earthquakes. They are up against a critical 72-hour mark, since the most recent. They have been combing through mud and rubble and bracing against more...

Yeah, anime has a tendency to drop you in totally strange and foreign places and it can take time to get your bearings. But it sure beats the predictability of the writing in most of the media they offer on tv and screen as far as I am concerned (if I ever have to watch another cop, lawyer or...

I like your new avatar, been meaning to say something but I kept forgetting. Happy Trails!

Heavy rainfall forecast for quake-hit Kyushu areas Heavy rainfall is forecast for Japan's southwestern island of Kyushu, which has been hit by earthquakes over the past several days. Weather officials are warning of possible mudslides in the region. Meteorological Agency officials say rain has...

I didn't realize what one quake had to do with the other but apparently they do. Both Japan and Ecuador and Japan are in what is called "The Ring of Fire". Exactly how one quake effects another is beyond me though. Back to Japan: U.S. military to help rescue quake victims as landslide threat...
