There was a series of corny and fun Japanese movies made in the 70s called Tora-san..."Japan's most beloved loser". I often made the bus trek downtown and out to a Japanese theatre in the Columbia City area then to see the latest Tora-san mis-adventures. Just now, when I was checking my Queue on Netflix, I saw where they finally acquired copies, and my first video is in the mail! I'm excited. In a way, it's embarrassing, but Tora-san was one of the many reasons I decided to go to Japan.
