However, with Japanese having multiple readings of kanji, I'm not sure whether it reads as sea, or if it's read as an idiom along with the second kanji.Anywho, like I said, it's...

Tuesday, August 16, 2011
I haven't posted for a while, anyways, this is what I got over the last 2 months.Kenn: I've fixed all the images. They all should show up correctly now. Also took the liberty of trying out a rather tedious way of lining up images (since they no longer seem to line up naturally anymore). This arrived first, Highschool of the Dead Bluray from...
