Animation Japanese Programs That Bubble With A Sense Of Humor…

The world of animation has many different niches that can be covered. You will find that for people who are interested in animation Japanese style animation is taking off quite nicely. The influence of this style of animating can be seen in a number of…

@D_Blade: Your cousins quote used to be my slogan for buffets lol, but I have grown up and realized more about my health which really sucks since I have to watch what I eat. I wouldn’t mind trying it once so I’ll take on those calories, sucks for Kagami though for every time she eats sweets she seems to gain weight, poor girl. I like cooking actually, but I don’t like cleaning up after I cook though lol. It’s true that certain foods I stray from do taste so much better when I haven’t had it for a while. Costco pizza I tend to stray from because of the amount of oil they use, but when I tried it again after half a year I was amazed at what I missed out on.

*types of food.

Another point I missed to point out in the main discussion is that it is amusing to see the striking contrast between really traditional temples, rituals and customs and on the other hand (and coexisting with the former) the otaku culture and shops, not to mention gambling.
This is a side of Japan that always fascinated me, since the start.

I am not craving for buffets myself. To make your fee acceptable mentally, you literally have to stuff yourself up (“until you can walk no more”, one of my cousins quoted), meaning you should be starving to a certain point before proceeding. Quite the shock treatment for the digestive system.
Not only it is a bit painful to be completely empty then completely full, some buffets have food that can be a bit… lacking in freshness.
I still wonder how they make profit with all those losses.

Anyway, for the dessert buffet, it is more about calories and fat that you should watch out for. “Tasty, tasty~!!”, but when you look at the weighing scale after that, I guess it’s all about crying and weeping. Oh well.

A type of food is much tastier when you haven’t eaten it for a long while. With this fact and the idea that I rarely go outside to eat, stopped eating certain types food (bye bye ramen noodles, frozen food, red meat, sweets, pastries and ice cream) and that I carefully check the ingredients I will cook (especially trans fat)… You get the idea.

Sorry for straying from the main discussion there. ^_^;

@D_Blade: I love to eat at buffets, but what you said happens all the time and makes me wonder when I should stop every time I go out and eat at a buffet. What I want to try is the desert buffet the girls went to, it’s more towards women but who says a man can’t enjoy his sweets too ^^. I have told my friends about going to Japan which they seemed to enjoy me telling them about, especially the ero parts lol.
@Peter: I wonder if you saw the same older woman selling the deer crackers for I believe 150 yen for a small stack. Hmmm…animation studio, might check it out next time if I can go inside, let alone find it lol. Finding a certain place in Japan can be quite difficult, even with maps.

Yeah, I went to the same places last time in Japan
And it is okay to feed the deer, they sell food specially for the deer.
And as mentioned before, That is indeed Ginkakuji (with a G), the silver pavillion, and not Kinkakuji. I didn’t go to the silver pavillion as I was only 1 day in Kyoto and it’s not that beautiful as the golden one

I do would like to find that Kyoto Animation studios though ;p Been doing some research to find it, got train station and neighborhood, but to find the exact block is proving difficult ;p

Shiraishi Minoru was really awesome here, grabbing Akira-sama like that. Just wonderful! ;p
