Yes. Less to due with anime actually(though that's obviously a big part of it :unsure: ) and more to due with just me being in love with their public transit.

Do understand that the Japanese and their government are not very welcoming towards foreigners, to put it mildly.

If you are unable to keep up with our celerity, using substances in order to make up for your regrettable sluggishness is not recommended.

So, earlier today I went out without bringing my laptop with me, and due to a variety of wacky occurrences I thus had to use one of the computer terminals located in the library. I must say that I'm glad I have my laptop again; using the library terminals feels like being trapped within a banal panopticon.
I may return for somewhat longer than I was initially expecting. Why am I here? No idea whatsoever. I really ought to find some way out of this place.

Also, the NS stats don't reflect my RL views, just to clarify.
