First of all, i agree what happened to japan is a great tragedy. The making of this guild is pointless, how much have you raised? Why do you love Japan? are you Japanese? If you are then i am sorry for your people, If you are not, you are a selfish b*****d, why? simple making this thread really does not help at all. Most of the people here only worry about Japan simply because of manga,anime, which tells you everything, they know nothing of the culture and they know nothing about pretty much anything from japan, al they know Japan for is Naruto, or any other anime. so why don't you stop with this farce and atleast try to do something. Encourage your members to donate to the red cross instead of wasting in gaia. BTW I'm one of you guys i know not much about Japan but atleast im not a hypocrite who comes here to support something simply because you love their cartoons.

You do not have to but if you can, Donate to the red cross-https://american.redcross.org/site/Donation2?5052.donation=form1&df_id=5052&idb=0

well, i discovered anime/manga a couple years ago, not really thinking on the history and culture of it... then I really got into it and Japan's other cultures like food, clothing, art, music...i really do like Japan, and not just for the anime and manga. I really feel bad for the people who have been through the disaster in Japan, because they are people too, and they have families and loved ones that they might never see again. I agree that whoever likes Japan only for the anime and manga, are really selfish. Theres much much more to Japan than that..
