Despite the second season having aired last September, self confessed otaku Jonathan Ross is already back with another (third) season of his "foreigner in Japan" documentary Japanorama, as ever filtered through Ross's unique sense of humour. The first two episodes look to be especially interesting for anime and manga fans with Ross discussing (and exclusively previewing) the Samuel L Jackson-fronted Afro Samurai (episode one) as well as "the new craze amongst young girls for Yaoi manga - hardcore boy on boy love action" (episode two).

It better have some J-rock artist interview this time, anyone but AnCafé is good. He did Dir en Grey long ago, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. v_v
 
Just set the alarm on my phone for this, I am definately looking forward to this and really hope I don't miss it, as I kept missing them last season
 
I'm glad to see that the new season is starting soon, as the last season was great so i am hoping it will be the same for this one.

I saw it and as much as I love all things Japanese I was disturbed by some of what I watched last night. Most of it was just weird/funny but the silicon 'children' love was nothing short of sick! It's the kind of thing that maintains most westerner's belief that the Japanese are bad people. Incidently, I noticed a Rei Ayanami doll in the guys shop(?).

Some of it was strange, but nothing disturbed me as such. Maybe it's because I've seen too much of Mana @_@

Its repeated like 3 times a week so you have plenty of time to rewatch eps, just set your vcr/sky guide as soon as you read this thread that wey you'll remember. Thats how I remember it every week.

I'm not into Lolicon or Shouta con. Its not nice...

Episode 2 will repeat in Friday (30th March i think) on BBC Three and it will air in 11.35pm.

I thought it was amusing/shocking/odd and strange lol

I stopped watching it after the Yaoi =D I was pretty happy Yaoi was shown.

(I wanted to go to bed and 11pm is a late time...).

I didnt see that part lol

I might watch the next episode.
I havent watched episode 1 and this was the 1st time I watched Japanorama.

Now we know the japanese are...Strange XD(er)

but we love'em anyway.
 
Just watched this weeks episode and I am a little creeped out, Women and Men choosing false relationships (hosts and dolls) over rela life relations, no wonder the birth rate is decreasing dramatically
