Princess Mononoke: 20th Anniversary!

Came to watch Princess Mononoke: 20th anniversary! The first time I watched it was when I was still in a college and watched it on VHS! 🤣

(Postscript)
I watched English-dubbed version and they really have to redo the translation. Because of the mis-translation and mis-interpretation, the story became much shallower than the original Japanese version! Argh!

Sprited Away: 15th Anniversary Celebration!

Spirited Away: 15th Anniversary Celebration!🎉 Special screenings for just three days, and I was able to catch the last screening! I think that was the first time for me to watch the English dubbed version!

Aaaaaaa, that was sooooo really good! This kind of good movies make all the stresses in real life blow away to somewhere. Japanese animations are the best! 😆👍🇯🇵

Screenings of Princess Mononoke are coming up next month!

Of course I'm going to come back next week for the spin-off of Star Wars!

Japanese anime/manga shops in Little Tokyo!

I went to the very special part of Little Tokyo today. In the center of Little Tokyo, there is an area where geeky nerdy shops are concentrated. The area is really like Akiba. Akiba is a town in Tokyo. It started as a black market after the war and now is the nerd capital of the world. Imagine the nerdiest place on the planet and multiply by 10, that’s Akiba.

I love Japanese manga, animation, video games and what not, and I cannot think of a better place to see how popular those Japanese media culture got in the U.S.
