Weekly Recap: SHIRO HENSHIN!!! Edition
by Red Baylon, 03/07/2009

In its never-ending battle for semi-truth and great blog justice, our hero Japanator, has finally received his super form: Japanator Shiro Form! With the new Japanator Shiro, Japanator can further serve you better by bringing you a more manageable and simpler interface. Don't think you've seen it all, Japanator Shiro still has hidden abilities that are yet to be revealed!!!

As you may have noticed, Japanator has gone through some changes lately. We say goodbybe to the dark and dreary color scheme of old, to welcome a new brighter and cleaner look for Japanator. As testament to Japanator's newfound awesome look, here are some of what we bring to you from the past week:

Japanese super toilets in America!!! A nostalgic song that actually made me cry earlier!!! Dragon Ball Z is back, but now UNDER 9000 episodes!!! A live-action movie adaptation of an anime that doesn't look like it'll suck (no pun intended)!!! Crazy Japanese Commercials!!! Seiyu's get awarded too!!!
