    I actually had to look up the term "moe"! Another thing Denshi Jisho is good for.

    What an embarrasing topic. Haha.

    Hmm. I would say Yoruichi from Bleach. Very Nice! I need to watch that show more...

    Yeah, I'm pretty much just a SPOONY BARD! ^.^

    Back in the day when I watched Ranma, it was Shampoo. Then, it was Kanwu from Ikkitousen. As of late, it's Lucy from Elfen Lied (only her dark side, naturally).

    Obey the penguin.

    I got disappointed of the Ranma anime because it sucked in comparison to the manga. But the manga itself is great. :)

    Yeah, it did kinda suck. Too bad they sacrificed the nicely blooming plot in favor of comical devices (which got boring pretty fast). But it had its moments. And considering it was the first anime that I ever watched, there's some nostalgia about it.

    Obey the penguin.

    São Paulo has a large contigent of Brasilian-Japanese girls. I'm sure you can find a かわいい gatinha there. :) (I have an ex there...)

    Well, whatever happens, happens. I'm not much on seeking for somebody. I just like having friends. (Btw, why is there a significant population of Japanese Brazilians? It seems like the most random of encounters.)

    Back in the day Japanese went to Brasil for work. Most of them stuck around and then the にせい、さんせい、よんせい generations got born... Sao Paulo was one of the areas they stuck around. Just like the south has lots of gauchos (German and Dutch descendents).

    There's a lot of history written about it actually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Brazilian is a starting point. But the social implications are far more interesting. I do not remember the exact names of the books or papers, but as gaijin we're excused in Japan since we're, well, gaijin. If you're a Japanese Brazilian you'll be tarred by the Japanese brush, but knowing Brazilian culture and background you may realize that it is like almost entirely opposite the Japanese kata culture. So lots of problems ensue. I remember reading about Japanese Brazilians who went back to Japan to work and literally starved to death due to not finding work and not getting help.

    Yeah, I had read there has been some mild discrimination in Japan against many ethnicities, even today. But, that is the way with most countries. Then again, I have only READ about it. I have not actually been there to see it first hand. It may be blown out of proportion, I don't know.

    All this is so off topic in comparison to how this thread started out. This current discussion should move to a new thread.
