Foreign Words

Was looking through Norlene Doris (a multiply user) blog where she defined some words and the genre of manga. Seems to be an avid anime viewer. Hmm reminds me, I wonder should I watch bleach or naruto or neither? Hmm should be neither bah.. sighz, 1 yr has passed and I still cant start on naruto.. never mind, get the manga from my friend first hee hee.
