Yesterday my eldest daughter asked me:

[elisi]

"Have you watched the History of Japan?"

"YES!" I replied immediately. "Yes I have! Isn't it amazing?"

And so I thought I should share it with all of you also, since I know that many of you aren't on Tumblr where it is currently spreading like wildfire:

"" (Watch on YouTube)

(One of the greatest benefits of being on Tumblr is being familiar with all the memes etc. my daughters reference on a regular basis.)

ENJOY!

I like the blink-and-you-miss-it reference to Nanking

[elisi]

It's stuff like that which means you're perfectly justified in watching it 83 times.

Which I think is what everyone on Tumblr is doing...

Oh, my goodness! About two weeks ago, I ran across this on Twitter and thought, "I should post this, because I love the history of Japan and because this is really funny, plus being mostly accurate!"

I didn't. And then I forgot about it.

Thank you for putting it up!!

[elisi]

And then I forgot to reply to your comment!!! So sorry.

Anyway, I'm glad I 'found it again' for you. :)

I wish my history class in school had been as entertaining.:)

The Europeans colonized Indonesia. My grandfather on my fathers side mainly spoke Dutch. My dad lived in Japan for a year because of work.

Just some random facts for you.

Well, that was pretty great.

Also, after a few moments of "huh, it seems a bit out of focus and the colours are weird," I realized it was in red-blue 3-D. So I borrowed my kid's 3-D glasses.

Well then. I feel like End of the World picks up directly after that...

That was fun!

It should come with a warning... You are now VERY likely to re-watch/constantly quote it. ;)
