KissAnime- The Japanese or the Americans can't arrest you if you don't live in their country.


Shenmue getting an anime? Nice. I hope Powerhouse be the ones who animate it. I love what they did for Castlevania and Blood of Zeus.

[Berto]

KissAnime- The Japanese or the Americans can't arrest you if you don't live in their country.

Yeah, but they can ban you from entering their country.
They wouldn't do that of course, too much work for them, but legally they can do that.

Probably won't bother with survey, given it looks like it's mostly for Americans. That and I doubt my honest oppinions will change much of anything or ask the questions I'd be interested in.

Still, wouldn't mind more anime based on Sega franchises.
