thezorch attacks with SUPER NECROPOTENCE! Thread has been zombied!

GenocideHeart uses LIFE 2! INSTANT DEATH!

...seriously, 2 years necro to say 'HOLY CRAP! Great resource. This will really be helpful in the future thanks for sharing.'? For shame.

Thank God, PCHeintz added some actual content... :sweat2:

Anyway, looking over PCH's links, http://www.abcb.com/laws/ seems to be broken...

Special Wards of Tokyo
For all those people who want to write something that takes place in Tokyo, and have no idea what the layout is. Nerima is not next to Minato. Take note all you Ranma and Sailor Moon writers. Also note that there is no Tomobiki, as that is a fictional area of Nerima, and not its own ward. I think it is fictional anyway. This information applies to Urusei Yatsura. I think that about covers my pet peeves regarding Tokyo.

Top 60 japanese words/phrases of 2008

Of special interest for Ranma 1/2 writers:

1. Guerrilla rainstorm (gerira g?u - ?????): Sudden, unpredictable rainstorms struck Japan with alarming frequency and intensity this year. Although the expression ôguerrilla rainstormö has been in use for about 30 years, this summerÆs abnormally unstable weather really hammered home the meaning.

Now you can dump the "water magnet" clichÚ. ^_^
