We post a new poll related to anime and Japanese culture every Friday!
We’ve all heard that over time we tend to look like our pets and vice versa. While I don’t look anything like a sleek black cat, my sleek black cat tends to act like me and vice versa. For example: We’re both really fussy with our fur/hair, we both like to flip out [...]

When I watch anime I think to myself, “Wow, they could never, and would never do that with LA! Damn I love anime.” Really; I really do think that. I also think, “What’s next?” Since I’m still a relative newbie compared to some of the seasoned veterans out there (that have seen [...]
