FAQ |
Whenver
a website posts an FAQ section, it's usually because the webmaster
feels
that there is enough reason to do so. Perhaps he gets a lot of
e-mails
with the same questions over and over. Or maybe people constantly
make assumptions that just aren't true.
Well, all of those reasons are why I'm doing an FAQ section. Hopefully, it'll set some things straight about Digimon, myself, and any other questions you may have. I realize that a lot of people don't really read these things (I never read them whenver I go to other people's websites) so I want to thank everyone who takes the time out to read this. Tell us
about yourself! Aside from Digimon, I'm a big fan of
animation from both Japan and the U.S. I also love video games,
but I have a really bad habit of buying new games even though I have a
stack of about a half a dozen games that I should probably get around
to finishing first. My favorite genre of game is RPGs, and I
also love the games in the Mario
and Resident Evil series. Other
hobbies? Well, I've also studied French, so I like to practice
that every now and then. I listen to a lot of hiphop and R&B
and other top 40 stuff, in addition to some Japanese music. I
guess my favorite Japanese group would be m-flo even if their lyrics
are absolute garbage...I guess I'm a sucker for cool beats and
off-the-wall music videos. I also tend to spend too much time on
Facebook. Do you live in Japan? Are you fluent in Japanese? I do live in Japan now, but I'm not originally from here. The reason I know Japanese is that I had tried to teach myself the language while in high school (my high school didn't offer Japanese...you only had Spanish and French to choose from). I taught myself hiragana and katakana, which is why I could translate some little stuff for the site, and it really makes my Japanese classes in college. After taking all the classes my school had to offer, I studied for a year in Japan, and that's where I learned the majority of my Japanese from. Now, I'm back in Japan, trying to become better at the language so I can become a professional translator some day. Where do you get your Japanese episodes from? Years ago, this would have been a tough question. Before the days of Bittorrent and YouTube, we fans only had a random selection of 3rd generation VHS tapes to choose from. I would meet a random fan online, find out he or she had some episodes I didn't have, and I'd try to work out some sort of arrangement to get a copy. Nowadays, though, you can find pretty much every episode of Digimon online, both Japanese and English. I generally don't support downloading episodes from the Internet, but I'd like to think that the fact I buy the DVD's being released sort of cancels out the harm I do by downloading episodes to my computer. Why do you say that Digimon is evil!? Digimon is not racist or morally bad or any of that stuff!!! I get this a lot more than I should. Basically, these e-mails are usually written in a size-36 font with horrible grammar and spelling, so I believe that they're coming from little kids who don't know any better. Basically, they're looking at the Digimon Bashing page and taking everything as being my opinion, that I'm the one calling Digimon racist and evil and the work of Lucifer. I'm not. These are the opinions of other people, whether they're parents, ministers, teachers, or whatever. I thought that everything was spelled out clearly...such as the fact that what they're saying is in written in a smaller font placed in a yellow box that's centered on each page. But I guess it isn't clear enough. So let me spell it out for those of you who are confused: in the Digimon Bashing Section, everything that's written like this:
...is the opinion of somebody else. So don't go e-mailing me about how wrong I am about Digimon being evil or whatnot. Can you tell me how to get [this Digimon] in [this game]? Sorry, but I don't know everything about the games, nor do I have the time to answer questions about it. If you really need help, head on over to Game FAQ's to have your questions answered. Read my fanfic! Look at the Digimon I created! Sorry, but I don't read fanfics. I was just never big into reading stories done by fans that are, more often than not, absolutely nothing like the show they're trying to emulate. "But mine's different, mine's really good!" I don't care; I still won't read it. I know that this sounds really mean and harsh, but I have enough official stuff to go through (in addition to work and the rest of my life) to spend the time reading some story about Tai and Sora finally proclaiming their love for one another. |
