Have you ever gone to a Japanese Astroboy site

[Dragonrider1227]

My knowledge of how to read Japanese couldn't even fill a small Matchbox, but I find myself at Japanese Astroboy sites clicking on various links and hopping to find screenshots or fan art. I've found some really good stuff even though I can't understand a word written. I sometimes use Babelfish but Babelfish translated Japanese doesn't really help much. Anyway, does anyone else do this?

I use either BBfish or google translation. Using 1 of these, I have frequently visited the Sony Astroboy site, & obtained info on the episodes, etc. Those people's names meant something, as the creators & voice actors' name were translated rather than transliterated. Hence: Harmony in the Fields, etc.

I always do. That's where I find most of the good pictures. They have the best art.

Here is a google translated version of search results for Astroboy on Japan's Google.

Here is an item of interest from the first link. I believe I have seen these pages before.

Hmm, google seems to be uncooperative on this one. :wacko:

I think it is called "inverted psychology" : you want someone to do something? Tell him/her to do the opposite I bet everyone reading this message clicked on "the link"

I thought this is called "paradoxical psychology", but now I'm not sure anymore.
There must be a few cases in this world on which the use of this kind of psychology fails, then it would be called "paradox paradoxical psychology".

I think in my native language it translates literally as "inverted psychology", but maybe in English it is "paradoxical psychology". Unfortumately, I found no article on the Wikipedia on neither expression

When the subject guess that you're trying to induce him/her to do something by telling the opposite, he/she knows what you really want him/her to do and...
Let's say then you might try to make the subject believe what you say is the opposite so he/she thinks you think the opposite of what you really think...
Oh, it's getting complicated I give up <_<

That's exactly what I meant.
There must exist such cases. Imagine a psychiatrist meeting a psychiatrist, but the one psychiatrist wouldn't have any idea that his opposite is a psychiatrist too. So if the one psychiatrist tries to frame the other psychiatrist by using the 'paradox paradox paradox paradox paradoxical psychology'....

...hang on a second, I need my Thorazine shuffle :wacko: .
