The Three Japanese Cultures

Posted on June 12, 2022 by bakatsundoku

Hi!  It’s been a while since I posted here, so I have a lot to say.  Truth be told, I don’t really think I’m fond of the blogging method of expressing myself, but I haven’t come up with anything better yet.  I’m working on it, though!  First, an update. The

Alien (Gaijin)

Posted on January 2, 2022 by bakatsundoku

There have been, and are, several reasons for this site.  But I think ultimately the reason I created and still write in this site is to help me work out stuff by writing, and I just so happen to do it publicly sometimes.  I need to do that now.  So,

My Experience Commissioning an Custom Anime Figure

Posted on September 11, 2021 by bakatsundoku

So as y’all may know, I’m currently working on another site called Texihabara.  It’s kinda lame right now, but I’m actually really pleased with the framework I’ve built, I think I can add to it to make it something special.  I just have to figure out what “special” means. However, I

Am I Otaku?

Posted on September 8, 2021 by bakatsundoku

Am I Otaku or even weeaboo? This is a question I’m asking myself more and more lately.  I mean, I guess I fit some of the definitions.  I like JPop – enough so that I’m maintaining an entire website about it, and other pop culture things.  I’m familiar enough with

Comic-Cons

Posted on August 28, 2021 by bakatsundoku

Working on my new site has been a bit… troublesome to me psychologically. It’s nothing I can’t handle, but it’s promoting quite a bit of thought. I decided to add a monthly post to the front page where I talk about all of the big anime, etc., events in Texas(there

I Think I Messed up.

Posted on August 8, 2021 by bakatsundoku

… but I’m not sure I could have done it any differently. This blog originated with a single premise: a Gaijin learning Japanese. Not much more to it than that. I was learning Japanese, about the Japanese culture, and for some reason I wanted to share it. Probably something to

Chibi Maruko-Chan Goes to a Tropical Island

Posted on December 21, 2020 by bakatsundoku

Last night I watched an episode of Chibi Maruko-Chan (English dubbed, unforunately). In this episode, Maruko’s ojii-san wins a trip to a tropical island, but can’t go. Maruko, in her own initimitable way, manages to finagle her way into going. On the way, she has some really fun adventures and

So I watched some Anime…

Posted on December 19, 2020 by bakatsundoku

I have some extra time on my hands at the moment, so I decided that I was going to try some anime. The first one I watched was “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid”. It was well animated. It was funny at times. And it was kind of dumb. I didn’t watch

Sometimes I’m Wrong

Posted on December 14, 2020 by bakatsundoku

I like to say that I’m never really wrong – as my decisions and opinions are nearly always right based upon the information I have. But sometimes I don’t have enough information, so as I get more information, my opinions can change. That kind of makes my previous ones wrong.

What in the Ever Loving @#$%

Posted on December 5, 2020 by bakatsundoku

Okay, if you’re a weeaboo or otaku, you won’t like this post. I don’t care, but you can consider this a “trigger warning” if you want. I’m not going to pull many punches on this one. Let me preface by saying one thing, before I get into my rant: I’m
