Beer.

Where can I find this beer? Who brews it? and Is it any good?

Um, what? No. "Japanimation" was a made-up term that had some currency for a while early on, but "Anime" is not in fact derived from it. It's derived from the actual Japanese word for animated stuff.

Except that "anime" is an abbreviation of the word "animation" as used in the Japanese language. Dissimilarly, "manga" is an not abbreviation/bastardization of "magazine" as I have heard stated by otaku or other enthusiasts before.
Languages steal words from others all the time. Examples in English include "robot," "forte," or "booze." The term for this is simply "borrowing," or "loanwords."
Because I have shown an ability to use wikipedia to my nefarious fact-checking ends, you should be able to as well.
And all I really wanted to say when I came here was that I am happy to see the comic return to the cafe [another loanword!]. It feels like it's been a while since we've been there, even if that impression is not really accurate.

I like that even when Wil is stressed and tired and in a foul mood he still finds time to be polite.

Exactly. Tuitsuro was saying it was an english abbreviation of the english word "Japanimation".
Mr_Rose:
Sorry to stray off topic for a moment, but Penne-lope is looking great today (esp. panel two - don't see many shots from that angle), when I remember to look at her.
P.S. Does that happen to anyone else? I know she's there, I can read her dialogue, but I don't process her appearance unless I remember to specifically.
