Here are my favorite links, in no particular order.

To view Japanese sites:

I suggest using the plug-in that's on Yahoo's site. All you have to do is download the Japanese plug-in of your choice, and then it should be installed onto your Internet Browser. Then, when you visit a Japanese page, it will do one of two things. One, it'll be in Japanese and you're OK to go. Two, it'll be a bunch of jibberish. If the latter happens, that means it didn't activate for some reason (it won't be automatic for some pages). That's OK, simply right-click somewhere on the page (that isn't an image) and click on "encoding." Then select the Japanese option (whatever it's called).

The Anime Digital: The Pirate Anime FAQ is a guide to spotting bootleg anime merchandise. It goes into detail of each type of product (CD, book, toy, clothing, etc) and tells you how to spot a fake and how to tell if it's the real thing. This is a very useful guide, as bootleg Power Rangers stuff is abundant, so be sure to have looked this over before your next trip to the comic store or big anime convention.

DBZ Uncensored is the most popular episode comparison site! It's closed down now, but if you thumb through the pages Chris left up, you'll see some well-written comparisons and will see why so many people have copied him. For more episode comparison-type sites, check out my Comparison Links page.

CD Japan is where you can buy any Japanese sentai good you'd like. Games, music, books, anything you could want can be found here. They have a good variety of stuff, so go check it out.

If you've ever been to Japan or have seen any pictures of it, you know that the Japanese love to use Engrish. Not English, but Engrish. Engrish.com explores the Japanese fascination with English with real-life pictures of some of the most humorous examples of Engrish. Wanna see a picture of a knife kit that reads "CAUTION! Blade extremely sharp! Keep out of children" or a shirt that says "Spread Beaver?" It's all right there! A very funny site that's worth a visit.

So You Want to Learn Japanese? is a hilarious essay that every Japanese language student / potential Japanese language student should read. Though it's written as a joke (the author really does love the Japanese language), there are a lot of truths sprinkled throughout. And I guarantee that any student in a Japanese language class knows each of the three types of students in his class.
