One "Normal" Man's Descent Into Anime Fandom
By Frank-kun

As I look around and see how far AnimeInfo.org has come since its first iteration as the series-specific "Ranma ½ Library" site about 6 or 7 years ago, I sometimes say one thing to myself. No, it's not "this is cool" or "what a long way we've come" or "ph33r my l33t sk1llz". It's not "why am I doing this" or "I should just stop doing this", or anything like that either. It's more along the lines of shaking my head in a bemused sort of way and saying:

"How did I get myself into this?"

Translation, please
By VickyVerky

Let's face it- some things don't translate well. Words in different languages often have similar meanings, not the exact same definition. To completely understand a language is to understand the whole that is more than the sum of its parts; knowing the language is not the same as knowing all the words and correct uses. There's a background to them that comes from culture and experience.
