This is going to be one long post.
My disclaimer for possible translation mistakes still holds. If anyone would like to translate it themselves or point out my mistakes, I’ve included the kanji straight from the CD booklet for reference.
After decades of developing in parallel with English-language comic books, manga have a rather different vocabulary for expressing themselves (and no, I don’t mean the obvious one). Visually, the angry vein and the sweatdrop are examples that may be familiar to English speakers (visual differences between manga and comic books are better explained by Scott McCloud in the iconography chapter of Understanding Comics). Sound effects are used differently, too.
This page has three different examples of sound effects that are common in Japanese comics:

Formatting on Tumblr blows. So, here’s a cheatsheet. Simply go to reblog this and click on HTML. Then, copy and paste the sections you need. There are links to symbols and generators you can use as well (particularly for header text). “br /” is used for keeping text one line under what was previously written (HEADER #1) while p creates new paragraphs with a clear line between (HEADER #2). If you write too much in the pre (grey background), it will add a scrollbar. Here’s a link to all the code used because it’s gonna look weird reblogged.

GX Waterproof Mini Poster Collection
these arrived the other day I have no idea where to put them up ^^;My god, where did you get them from?
I’m on their mailing list and… sometimes I can’t resist ^^; It’s not often we get new GX merch. They sell out really quickly so you have to reserve pretty sharpish when things are announced.
Keep an eye on http://www.amiami.com too, they have some second-hand stuff and oh look there they are
Thank you! Bookmarking the hell out of all of these, because you can never have too much GX merch!
Hemingway makes your writing bold and clear.
Basically the coolest little tool to have as a writer.
This is awesome!!!

As promised here are links for all Tag Force series games that should work with PSP emulator I mentioned in my previous posts. I have not tested all games, however they should be working.
Tag Force - download torrent file here.
Tag Force 2 - download torrent file here.
Tag Force 3 - download torrent file here.
Tag Force 4 - download torrent file here. This one is tested completely save and fully working game.
Tag Force 5 - download torrent file here.
Tag Force 6 (Although it says English patched, I think it is only partially patched meaning story is probably still japanese) - download torrent file here.
I’ve also found this post regarding Tag Force 6 translation, but I am still not sure if this translates story. Most likely not since there is just too much info to translate. Once I get to Tag Force 6 I can translate the important story parts if you wish, since it is written in hiragana and I can perfectly read that. (Finally learning japanese has come in handy!)
So some of you may know about PSP emulator that runs all sorts of PSP games. However if you know if this emulator you also know that in cannot run any Tag Force games.
Well, not anymore! After many years of wait finally we can play Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force on our computers (and phones but that…

Guide to Self-Studying Japanese
A large proportion of Japanese learners self-study. Finding places to learn Japanese in a classroom environment can be difficult and expensive. Here’s a guide on how you can learn Japanese for free and from the comfort of your sofa.
When learning Japanese, the most important step is to learn Hiragana and Katakana, the writing alphabets of Japanese.
The best way I’ve found to do that is to make flashcards. Make sure you practice writing as well as recognizing them, this will not only be a great skill to have but will also reinforce the shapes in your mind.
Resources:
[Hiragana 42], the best guide I’ve found to learn the Hiragana (in a day!)
[Hiranana and Katakana Quiz Site]
[Kana Invaders Game]
[Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Vocabulary….
The next step is to start learning vocabulary. Where can you find what to learn? Use a site like Memrise to find word lists (for example, there is a word list for all the vocabulary in starter textbooks like Genki), and use the amazing interface to learn them and keep them in your long term memory.
Resources:
[Memrise] as mentioned above to find and learn vocabulary lists.
[Most Common Words List]
[Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Kanji….
While encountering vocabulary, you’re likely to be coming across super-complicated-looking Kanji. You can learn Kanji through Memrise as above, but there are some other websites that may be of interest.
Resources:
[Kanji Damage] A great site where you can learn Kanji through Mnemonics.[WaniKani] by the same people ho make TextFugu (below) can help you learn Kanji from scratch.
[Anki] An amazing program that will make sure you never forget any Kanji….
The next step is to apply that new vocabulary to grammar points and start making sentences.
If you can’t get your hands on textbooks like Genki, don’t fear! There are a lot of great online grammar resources.
Resources:
[TextFugu] a highly rated ‘online textbook’ which will guide you right from the beginning of learning Japanese.
[Guide to Japanese] another online textbook with a lot of grammar points and excellent explanations.
The Fun Parts: Using Japanese Online Media
So you probably have learnt Japanese because you have some interest in Japanese media. Time to start using it to your learning advantage!
Aside from the obvious watching Anime, J-dramas and films, why not try Reading Japanese News? Watching Japanese TV? Just make sure you are making these activities productive - note down new vocabulary, add them to Anki, and keep learning! It’s much easier to learn things you’re interested in. Try translating Japanese songs, etc.
The most important but difficult part of self-studying Japanese is getting your own compositions checked. Utilize all that grammar and vocabulary and write a short piece, it could be a diary entry or a short essay. Get it recorded for you by a native on RhinoSpike, and checked for grammar and consistencies on Lang-8.These sites also give you the chance to connect with Japanese natives, and perhaps start up some language exchanges!

I can do even better — I can send you straight to the source! Poet wrote an absolute ton about mythology in GX and this is part of a giant-ass meta post he was working on before he vanished off the face of the earth. This guy taught me almost everything I know about hermetic alchemy, tarot and pre-columbian cults. He knows his stuff.
