Anime & Manga in unexpected places

Post by Kariudo » Sun Mar 22, 2009 5:47 pm

so as I'm riding the train back to school I start reading CPU magazine and I come across this (in lieu of a scan of the article, it's the link from the article)
it made my day

If I had time, I think I'd buy it (too bad I don't have time :()
You guys think this is a good way to learn such things?

It took me a moment to figure out why it didn't make any sense. Then I realized it was written from left-to-right and not the other way around. It threw me off there for a bit. >_>;

I...guess that could be an effective teaching tool for somebody, though. At the very least, it's more entertaining than a text book. o_O
... yea ...

I found a Last Exile wall scroll in a Value Village, I also saw a Haruhiism wall scroll in the background on a tylenol commercial.

I remember years ago ib the show Everwood the teenage boy (Ephram?) wore a P-CHAN shirt from Ranma 1/2 and I was like "omg... that is an anime shirt worn by a character on prime time TV..." That was completely unexpected.
