I don't know about everyone else, but I've had better luck with Google's hangout than Skype (It's more Linux and MAC friendly than Skype, especially since M$ bought them).

I also had a deck of cards which I made that had hiragana on the front and romaji on the back. I'd have the hiragana face up, guessing the reading, then flipped that card over, I forced myself to cycle the entire deck until I got all of them right that day. I kept doing this everyday until I learne...

How are you guys typing the Japanese characters on the computer? There is a big difference between a GRAPHICAL rendition and a true extended ASCII TEXT rendition, the former can't be cut and pasted into a dictionary site while the later can.

Also in the "Faceless robot" episode they said he was looking for his "Neck" when it was his head. Al...

His height varies from story to story. Tezuka has drawn him at different heights compared to other characters. In one Manga there was a frame with Dr. Tenma complaining that Atom was "STILL" just 123 cm tall. (That's about 4' 0.5"). I also remember a story where he weighed in at 67 lbs. That's also ...
