Hagi-me-mashite Pamchan,Watackshi wa...that's where my nihongo usually ends. After being here for a year plus, my nihongo is up to slang level. I guess the shorter the word the easier it is to remember. Just the business nihongo is really tough and very proper. There's a phone on my desk I'll never answer it because they don't realise there's a gaigin on the other end and they'll speak so fast. But, with co-workers we reached common ground as we "oh-no" speak Japan-glish. I catch my self speaking broken english but sometimes there's no other way to explain things with my limited nihongo skills.
You're right about Poke'mon, every kid wants it. I send alot of stuff back to the niece and nephew in the states.I've lost track of what's new and the latest in Japanimation and I'll get back to you on the latest title I bought which was last year. It has some good 2D-3D intergration, but not as close as Masumiro Shirow's work in "Ghost in the Shell's video shorts" in the made to Playstation videogame. I'm planning on buying SONY's Playstation II which is being released here next month. It's a good buy as I can now watch, buy/rent Region 2 coded DVDs on it also.
