Interesting but weird video of Super Mario. I don’t understand the Japanese text, maybe someone can translate.

Are anime characters caucasian or japanese?

I thought this was a rather interesting video. It started off by describing whether anime characters look more Japanese or Caucasians. It then moves on to attempt to shed light on why westerners believe that anime look like them and what this says about them and their impression (or lack thereof) of the Japanese and other Asians. Click on the video to look at some of the information and original poster put up. There are some further links if you wish to read more about the topic.

I’m currently working on a report for my mkt assignment which involves doing research on a Jap company. It’s so much easier to find information about how their company function, their earnings, their strategic plans and all. Surprised that they’ll release them? They’re not as selfish as the local company that my project group worked on. They didn’t even bother when we wanted an interview with them. ( The only reason we need an interview was because there’s not enough info about them online.)

What’s most interesting about this company is how they get feedback from staff and consumers. They have their own little chat place! It’s only available in Japan tho but shows how their innovation shines through.

shiseidoIf only work was this fun.
