And the whole "shame" concept is totally correct -they really push people not to press charges (especially sexual assault etc) because the shame is enough to stop it. yeah right. Also about the Hanko versus signature thing. Japanese officials don't seem to realize that signatures change unlike hanko. God, I hated trying to explain that a 4 year old signature on my passport isn't exactly the same as I use now...gah.

The annoying buzz in the background of the whole cast was quite annoying and distracted from much of what was being talked about. Also, didn't really find the topics all that interesting this time around (woo-hoo, we can make sure sake's the right temperature, how terribly exciting). Though, it was nice to hear from Todd again. :) Here's hoping Dai-Cast 13 is a return to glory! Hate to say it, but this was probably my least favourite episode so far.
