Anime and Research
Something that I find attractive in good anime is when I want to go out of my way to dig up information on things. Rurouni Kenshin did this in the context of the Restoration. I read a lot about it, and was absolutely fascinated by it. (Peacemaker Kurogane hasn't helped much, either, because now I'm as much a Shinsengumi fangirl as a Kenshin one, but I take Kenshin's side simply to aggravate my roommate.)

There's nothing like a rousing rendition of "Loyalist versus Imperalist" over dinner.

Fullmetal Alchemist has done it to me again, although I already did some random research on alchemy due to the Alchemist Guild I created in my massive fantasy world. But what interests me about those shows is the things that tie it together, and show that the mangaka aren't just pulling stuff out of their respective behinds.

So, in other words, I am a complete geek. But a complete geek with more knowledge than average of the bakamatsu and the instructions to the Philospher's Stone.

---------------------


Whee? Ignore the meme of doom, I just felt this was an appropriate place for it.

Now, I need to plot out exactly how the yakuza will directly impact the RP.
