Obviously this is a long dead thread, but image #12 is actually a male House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) and not a Eurasian Tree Sparrow. Notice the black breast (not just the black “chin”) and the grey head (not solid brown). You can’t see the face since it’s shaking it’s head, but if you could you see light grey cheeks, rather than the black cheek patches of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow. There are other physical differences, but those are the key field marks to look for when differentiating between Eurasian Tree and House sparrows.

House Sparrows are incredibly rare in Japan, but both species are common to abundant in western Europe. The Eurasian Tree Sparrow is entirely absent from the new world, except from the St. Louis metro area into Illinois from about Macon County to the east and McLean county to the north. Though, vagrants can occur anywhere from about 200-300 miles from St. Louis proper.

Not that anyone cares, however.

    @21:54 The point is that it used to be much better than it is nowadays. As for the culture. If you’ve been there and not just stayed in Tokyo, you’re bound to get a fairly good grasp of that but it’s a receding culture in all fairness. Same for the landscape etc. A huge chunk of said landscape isn’t even safe to travel in any more. Cue Fukushima.

    For some reasons i was looking at this figure to try to figure out how she is wearing a One Piece dress. She didn’t have the hat, or the pirate insignia or anything. I am disappoint.

    Let’s have a retrospective on rotoscoping and how much Americans liked it… Scanner Darkly… fail Crappy Lord of the Rings attempt in the 80s… fail One scene in Heavy Metal that looks like sh**… fail and this crap (and scanner darkly) aren’t even rotoscoping. It’s just a damned filter program.
