Talkin’ Anime in Japan

But he says “You know One Piece?” I reply “Gomu gomu noooooo…..” and throw a mock punch. “I haven’t watched in a long time, but I know it.” Him: What’s your favorite anime? Me: Sailor Moon! Him: Ah, Bishojo Senshi Sera Moon! I watched in elementary school! Me: Me too, in 5th grade! Him: What is Bishojo Senshi Sera Moon in English? Me: Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, but in America, we just say Sailor Moon. Him: Do you know Dragonball? Me: Yes!! Who are your favorite characters? Him: Gohan and Piccolo. How about you? Me: I like Goku and I like Vegeta! Him: Ah. Do you know Rurouni Kenshin? Me: Yes!!! I love Rurouni Kenshin! I haven’t watched in a long time! ...
