Thanks for sharing this Bashcraft... Slam Dunk is one of my top 10 animes of all-time... It's clunky but still was enjoyable. I highly recommend any curious fan to pick this up and watch (you don't necessarily need to be a basketball fan). The comedy is hilarious! And it gives you a window to Japan's high school culture... SOOO AWESOME
Jpop needs more Do As Infinity, Brilliant Green, B'z, GLAY, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Luna Sea, FLOW, Mr.Children Less AKB48, Morning Musume, idol garbage... *sigh* When will Japan ever grow out of the cutsy teenager idol phase?
The 16-bit king in this 4th episode said "It seems that the Kacho is enjoying himself when playing puzzle-type games" (can't remember, was there another screen?)
The closest translation would be "the boss" or "our boss". Literally, it means "Section Manager" or "Manager of [section] department". In Japan, instead of using their first name or Mr. [last name], it's a show of respect to call them by their position, such as Kacho, Kakaricho (junior manager) or Bucho (vice-president), or Shacho (president)
I dunno... I think several games can be categorized as Game Changers: Super Mario Galaxy 1 AND 2, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Sin & Punishment Star Successor, Muramasa, Okami, No More Heroes 1 & 2, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Madworld, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Other M. These are all AAA titles and most of them could not have been developed on any other platform/system other than the Wii. The Wii did have a pretty good run of quality games (although a little short, imho).
OMG... Watch 12:20, where she says, "We're so proud to present this with our partners at Microsoft." Apparently, at HSN, Microsoft is showcasing the 3DS on behalf of Nintendo!!!!!! rofl
Since I don't see anyone else translating the rest of the games, here you go:

Professor Layton & Mask of Miracle - 40 min wait Kid Icarus Uprising - 45 min wait Pilot Wings Resort - 40 min wait AR Games - 65 min wait Target Shooting - 25 min wait
@R3D-F0X: Sanma actually said, "So this is the face of that voice of that character..."
"I'm sorry" (meaning I'm sorry that I look like this - It's a common sociocultural phenomenon that Japanese people apologize for things that they don't need to apologize for).
"Sorry? I think its a little too late to apologize..." (meaning that there's nothing that she could do to make amends for her face).
Everytime I hear about this, I remember about that NASA fiasco and their $125 million mistake when their brilliant engineers crashed their Orbiter due to an imperial-metric miscalculation.
LOVE the photo Bashcraft!!! One of my favourite J-drama's OF ALL TIME!!! All otakus unite! In fact, all k-otakus unite!!
For the unaware, the photo is from a TV-drama series in Japan called "Densha Otoko". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (if you can dl it with subs) - also, I recommend the TV series (not the movie)
From wiki: "All based on the purportedly true story of a 23-year-old otaku who intervened when a drunk man was harassing several women on a train.
The event, and the man's subsequent (interactions) with the woman, was chronicled on the Japanese mega-BBS 2chan. This led to the compilation of the relevant threads in a book, followed by several manga versions, a movie, a theatrical play later released as a DVD, and finally a TV series.
Densha Otoko is a popular example of the "nice guy" class of Japanese geeks who wish to lead normal lives, but are too shy to find a girlfriend, or speak openly anywhere but online. The television series uses a large number of computer-bound extras."
