Cats? There is more than that blue one?
Screw thinking about reading this then
There's a second, female cat. Needless to say that she is only there as a partner for Natsu's cat. And some other third cat is there too. And I vaguely remember some sort of plot that involved a shitload of them. But it was stupid, so I don't remember the details.

I actually liked that arc. Just turn off your brain and it's not half bad.

Speaking of Fairy Tail, did later scanlation fix the naming issues? I still remember reading the earlier translations, where it was Gerard, Gerald, Gellald or whatever. Same with Gajeel or whatnot. Absolutely confusing and annoying. How can this happen in the first place? Is it so difficult to translate names from Japanese to English?
Well actually it can be pretty tricky yes.

They blatantly ignore the spellings offered by Hiro Mashima himself. The anime and Kodansha and the eng translator and Fairy Tail fans for them uses Jellal, but the scanners continued to call him Gerard for some long time, fortunately they changed
Well as for that DBZ talk before.
Dragonball is one of my favourites, I enjoy the adventure genre feeling much more than DBZ part to follow later. During my time in school, it was either DBZ, Pokemon and Yugioh on TV for anime wise shows (I hated the later two). It wasn't until a friend recommended the FMA series to me that I started taking a deeper look into anime.
Btw, I'm off to Japan sometime in May. I'm in need of some recommendations on what manga to look out for battle manga wise. I feel I want to read some stuff that's similar to JoJo Part 2.
People said before to look into The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, so I will do so.
Some of the ones I've looked into so far
Fist of the North Star (Good)
Hunter x Hunter (It had a few good arcs, the later ones were boring)
Naruto (Not my cup of tea)
Bleach (Lost interest around Vol 20)
FMA (Loved it)
One Piece (New World is pretty boring, hope the new arc delivers)

It can be.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
So does the official translation. You realize Hiro Mashima's "official" translation for Erza is Elsa, right?
Given that his last name is "Fernandes," my guess is that Mashima just has a really bad grasp on the English language and he actually intended "Gerard" rather than the random made up name "Jellal."

...there's an entire country of cats.
ジェラール Jerarru Jellal
ガジル Gajiru Gajeel
Japanese romaji English
That's what they pretty much look like in Japanese. Some can be, it really depends on how rare the name is in the English language for me at least.

Well his tweets do turn out to be gerard, and elsa. But if those were really their names wouldnt at least the consulting translator from kodansha use those, if they were the true intent?

Sword Art Online 4-koma 01-08
Even if it is based off a crap series, 4-komas are still decently funny.

It's bad enough that there is more than one. The most annoying thing about those animal mascots in general is they tend to hog all the room in the tourist shops in Japan. I remember having to try and find gifts for the family in 2011 in Hokkaido, half of the stores were just filled with items of Chopper & Luffy, Hello Kitty and the dogs from Naruto.

Kon, Gamakichi, and Gamatatsu get no love in JPN?

No, he writes her name as "Elsa" in English within the Manga itself when her name is written down on a board in the background; this is also in the anime. The translators just don't listen to him because there's already a fanbase that isn't willing to switch to Elsa.
Nobody calls the Chimra Ant arc boring. That arc, together with the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc, is one of the best in shounen.
As for recommendations, definitely The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer. It's perfect. Not too long, not too short, great plot and concept. You should also try Sengoku Youko, by the same mangaka.
They would in places like Akihabara and other anime related areas in Japan, but I could never see them in town that are located outside of the major cities.
I just found it too slow my liking, far too many battles making the arc last for ages (132 Chapters).

Oh hey, quasi-normal conversation with someone other than the slut. Different vibe than usual from this chapter, but that's fine too.

Definitely recommended. The damn thing was so much fun.

I've always gotten the impression being into nerdy crap including anime was less socially acceptable in Japan than it is in the US.
Trigun Maximum Omnibus (Vol. 1-3, Chap. 1- 20)
This is awesome. Vash and Wolfwood are both hilarious and badass together, some of the facial expressions they made killed me. Please stick together for the rest of the series. Happy to see Millie and Meryl return, they're always fun. I'm still fairly confused by the ending of the original Trigun, but I assume that'll be explained in good time. Great action too, the fights were fantastic. Thankfully, the second omibus is out next week, so I'll be getting that. Hopefully they do omnibus's for the entire series. Maybe I should watch the anime in the meantime?
Also, that one guy from the Gung Ho Guns looks and acts like Aizen if he used a saxophone as a weapon.

I don't know. The thought of poor Chinese kids working overtime, just to produce enough toys of one of the worse characters in shonen, makes my heart bleed.
I don't know...
A lot of people read mangas/watch animes in Japan including "normal" people (don't know how to explain but I guess you understand), I just assume that really hardcore fans are labelled as creepy.
March is Lewd avatars month yeah.
In all of the GAF Land? Then why is practically no one else sporting one?

I can give you one of your character in your avy.
Haha okay. Those guys sure are excited sometimes.
Now I'll have fun wondering whether any manga avatar I don't know originated in a hentai manga or not
It's an animeGAF thing, because that's really a front for LewdGAF.
AnimeGAF is cool. Even though I only watch Jojo and Space Brothers it's fun to chat there.
Well from what I've come across.
Tons of the girls I know in Tokyo don't read manga, yet they buy chopper/crayon shin-chan masks for the Photo booth (purikura is what the Japanese call it), have one piece accessories and such due to the cuteness. Guys, not so much.
I was walking around Tokyo around 10-12 at night, I walk into some of the arcades there and find business men ( I guess in their 30/40's) having a go at the claw machine trying to get a Kizaru doll.
I really think as long as the person doesn't give off the vibe that he lives in the parent's basement stereotype, they tend to be ok.
You should watch Girls und Panzer.
So it's: blahblah |OTL| F-: Not A lick of constructive conversation here
?
?
I look forward to it when I start the next arc a bit later.
YEAH.

Youre missing out, the Liverbearer arc was fantastic animated.
Not including HxH and OP, I usually watch ~15 shows every season (this one only 9 though). I just don't know what to do with those guys, but they're fine.
Also I'm somewhat scared to go there out of fear for my life. I'm pretty sure they'll kill me if they saw my full dropped anime list.
all of the stuff with less than 10 episodes watched are actually sequels
