Wow, what a good movie so far! I'm really enjoying it... it's going to make watching this anime much, much more enjoyable. I don't remember the last time I watched a movie in black-and-white.

Gah, but they sure translate some of the honorifics and titles in a bland fashion! "Sensei" does not mean "sir"...

Are you at the intermission?

Watching the "Mr. Iron Chef" competition on Food Network, here. Quite a different slice of Japanese culture. ;)

Glad you're liking it! It gets better as it goes along, believe it or not.

Yeah, the honorifics are bland, but remember this was probably one of the first Japanese movies translated into English, so they were just learning how to do that.
