"Domo arigato!--or something like that :)" Um, you do know that 'domo arigato' means 'thank you very much', right?

Yeah, I know--that's why I said "or something like that" :) I was actually alluding to a song:

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto. . .

Inuyasha looked interesting art-wise, but I had a hard time picking up the plot from just one episode. I'll probably have to watch a few times and/or read an episode guide to get a feel for it. I tend to have to watch Japanese cartoons/movies a few times to pick up the plot--I think maybe Asian plot structures follow a different method than Western ones, which is something I've noticed in Godzilla movies as well as Chinese Kung Fu movies. The storytelling method wanders around a lot more.

True... or like in Kenshin, this story arc's been going on for at least 20 episodes and is going to need several more to resolve. It's not like Western sitcoms where every episode is it's own story.

I like that. Means the stories can be complicated.

I'm getting an expense check from my trip to Detroit next week... think I shall purchase something cool. Perhaps the Kenshin banner I was drooling over yesterday. I have a nice Aragorn poster... something about guys with swords...
