    JR installs anti-suicide lighting on platforms

    Very interesting: because in our culture, blue is the color most commonly associated with sadness, and so it would be one of the last colors I would expect somebody to pick for this sort of project.

    風引いたって知らないぞ?

    The link does not load. :( Also, "subjunctive," not "subjucntive". By the way, I just realized that even though your answer makes sense for the first sentence, it still doesn't explain why Satoshi begins his second sentence with でも and why he proceeds to mention feeling so warm. "Don't blame me...

    風引いたって知らないぞ?

    Cool! Thank you so much. Can you give me 10 other sentences with 10 other verbs (in place of 引く) that display this concept? I know that might be a bit much to ask, but I could really use the grammar lesson.

    風引いたって知らないぞ?

    Note: This is a Japanese language thread, not an anime thread, despite the subject matter involved. Hence why I posted the thread here. So, I'm watching the first season of Pokemon in Japanese without English subs. Enjoying it. Don't understand all of it, but that's partly the point. I'm trying...

    The Weeboo Art Thread

    Bump. I got some draft/tracing paper to work with. It's been pretty good for tracing, but it's super-duper thin. I'm still working on faces. Really, part of the problem is that I get bored drawing still-life P.O.S.es, but because I'm a drawing amateur, I really do need to learn the basics behind...

    [IDed] レム (Remu)

    I'm hoping he does one that looks just as badass with Stephen Stone (ダイゴ Daigo in the original Japanese) alongside Metagross. Maybe Metagross's face wouldn't look all that different from Steelix's, but it'd still be something I want to see this guy draw. :D I asked him about Cynthia (シロナ...

    With the help of an anonymous tip from 4chan's /r/ , I toddled over to Pixiv, signed up for an account, and searched for レム (Remu). Found his account after some trial and error. Found the picture. Left a long message for him (split into three parts). Made numerous grammatical errors which...

    Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2

    Finished the episode last night. Pros and cons: Cons: - after drawing out so many lesser scenes from the film, I was disappointed by the fact that this was the final Sighs episode. I had wanted to see the making of these four classic moments from the film: (1) Kyon's sister joins the team as...

    I found this the other day and would like to know who drew it, if there are more of these pictures, and if there are then where I can find them. It would be incredible if this artist drew one for each Johto Gym Leader, and even more incredible still if they drew one for every single...

    Currently en route to the 7th gym town. The release of PokeSav for HGSS makes life a lot easier.

    Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver

    My favorites by nostalgia are almost entirely Gen 1. My favorites by design are roughly split between Gens 1 and 3, with very few coming from 2 or 4. My favorites by utility (e.g. in competitive play) are spread throughout the gens, go figure. Design examples: Nidoking, Charizard, Bulbasaur...

    Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver

    Brief intro: these games use the 4th-generation Pokémon graphics engine (introduced with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and also later used in Pokémon Platinum). They are visually-upgraded re-releases of the original Gold and Silver games from 1999 (JP) / 2000 (USA) but with some slight alterations...

    Blocking threads? o.o

    I have never been a big fan of the Block User feature. I think it flies in the face of everything a message board stands for. We come here to communicate with one another. It's dumb of the blocker whenever he blocks somebody because then he looks like an idiot when the blockee makes posts (or...

    Just watched Episode 13 for the second time. (Watched it last night previously.) This is without a doubt one of my favorite episodes in the entire series.

    New Legend of Zelda (wii)

    I own it and hate it. Well, hate's a strong word, but I feel super-lied to. Okami's artstyle may be pretty in theory but its actual graphics are horseshit. They remind you of an N64 title. Not joking. Okami has a really, really fucking annoying audio track for dialogue. People just sort of...

    No, I won't. TP was my last one. Didn't buy Phantom Hourglass, didn't care to buy Minish Cap, and won't be buying this one either. It's not that I'm hating on Zelda: it's that Zelda games aren't different enough from title to title to warrant a re-purchase and, unlike some other fairly...

    Not as far as I know. The novels have been fan-translated, but official translations are only out for the first two books so far. I've got all nine but I've got 'em all in Japanese. I'll probably get them in English soon enough. I want the hard-cover versions and I don't want them to have been...

    Classic Bedroom Costumes: which will you choose?

    I only wanted to put up five options.

    "Wow, is that what a light novel looks like?" To address your surprise, I suppose we should answer why the books are classified as light novels in the first place. What exactly does the term "light novel" mean? A novel, as you know, is a work of prose written in book form, usually covering a...
