So, this will be ANN's first real venture into Japanese culture outside of entertainment right? Should be a worthwhile read.

Oh, this is going to be so cool. I hope it's as a good as the j-list side blog.

Maybe you guys should talk to a bunch of different people about this, though.
I don't ever feel that just visiting somewhere on a tour really gives you any idea of what it is actually like, something that you'd only really get from living there for a period of time. |

Tourism could loosely be considered entertainment, I guess. It really looks like ANN is becoming more of a (for lack of a better term) "professional" news site as opposed to the typical RSS feed with massive compendium and Reviews. |

Sounds like cool column, I hope it doesn't fall apart like the manga review one though.

Right Turn Only (the manga review column) didn't "fall apart"; rather, it was placed on hiatus. In fact, ANN was accepting applications for a new manga reviewer; the deadline was April 15. |

Oh good, I was feeling a bit out of the loop when it came to Japanese culture, becuase quite frankly, I'm clueless.

This, to me, is very good news. As an older anime fan (34) I often find that American fans are reluctant to acknowledge the "Japanese-ness" of anime. One of the greatest draws to anime for me is the plunge into another culture. Different myths, unfamiliar puns and values outside of those I was raised with. I like having to research things to fully understand a plot point. It all culminates in a very interactive entertainment experience.

Same here.  The new column will definitely enhance my research into various anime and anime-related topics. I already have a deep appreciation for the "Japanese-ness" of anime, and learning new insights and aspects into the rich culture of Japan (outside from watching various anime) will only increase my learning power.
Well, since no one bothered to answer my question earlier, I will just have to wait until Wednesday to see who is going to write this new column.

Since I'm currently trying to save up for a trip to Japan this column sounds like the perfect thing for me.
