Title: Would have been nicer had it adhered to the title...
Product review: Yes, it's Japanese, and it's Anime, but an Anime companion? Probably not. At best, it's probably "the Random Japanese Word You Overhear: What's it all about?" I agree with other reviewers and it's Takahashi Rumiko following is a little excessive. What I mean about adhering to the title is that it would best have been a true Anime companion... start watching Ranma 1/2 (or A-ko, or whatever), pull out your book, turn to the series (or, even better, episode by episode) and it would go into what's japanese about each episode. You see a carp? What's it mean? That whole episode of UY with Kintaro? Who's Kintaro? What's he doing? WHY is it strange. The information is fairly accurate, however, and in it's current form is quite interesting.
