Hello! I stumbled across your recs site tonight and have been marveling at the content for hours - there's just so much there!

I have a question for you, though. How do you manage to find your way around the Japanese fanart sites? Do you actually speak Japanese, or do you just sort of click around until you find what you want, or is there some way to translate them? I'd really love to know.

Thank you so much! :-)

Hi! ♥ Ahaha, I imagine that, if you're seeing the site for the first time, it must be pretty big, yeah. (Well, it ought to be after five years of this. ^_~)

As for browsing j-fanart sites, I can't read any Japanese (I can understand some spoken Japanese, but not enough to get by there, either) but it's fairly easy to get a feel for how sites are laid out. The gallery sections are frequently marked as "gallery" or "illust" in English (check the URLs a lot, too) or, when that fails, yeah, just start clicking on links until you hit the gallery section.

(You can try translating them with babelfish, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, it's still really hard to understand. And, well, once you figure out where the gallery is, you don't need the rest of the site translated, I assume. *g*)

Does that help?
