XD I didn't go to Japan, but I went to Korea in March. But, I got hooked on Keroro near Christmas time. Gaomon like Tamama, are both my favorite characters (and they are both rich XD). If you like a good anime that is comical yet has action, Keroro is the way to go.
I don't go to PVC anymore and Blaze hasn't been revived I don't think.
