I know Mr. Bungle. I love Mike Patton's work but not his voice. Makes it tough. I've heard of Barkmarket, but don't know them. The other two are completely new for me. I'll check 'em out. Thanks!
And learning japanese through Anime is partly what I do as well...I think I watch more Japanese TV than English ^^ one thing it does do though is teach you a more colloquial form of Japanese which, when you're still learning, can be a tad confusing at times
I would recommend WoW ONLY if you have enormous amounts of free time waiting to be squandered, if you ever need to do any work or see people either then it's probably a good idea to avoid it! Yes it's a pay monthly thing...but well worth it
Pretty much the same reasons really...Japan has been an obsession of mine since I was a kid, I think it was watching "Shogun" on TV in the 80's that did it! I've always been fascinated by the new and old aspects of their culture and would LOVE to go there ^_^
And being able to watch anime without the subtitles would be cool too
