DauntaeInformatively effect. Thanks!
ShufflebladeNeeded this, thanks a lot =D
suomynonahelps alot of souls that don't understand japanese
SonicGTRProTip: The default security question is "What is your favorite food?".

Also, thank you very much for this guide. If you guys can make a Register for Pixiv Guide, my life would be complete.
UlrezajSonicGTR: You're in luck - pixiv actually localized their entire site just recently. Registration and whatnot is all in english now.
NovastyxD, all i did was use google translate when i registered.
FichteFollLooks I was lucky that nicovideo is (and was when I registred) also available in german language but though I wonder why it does support german, spanish and russian but not english... :o

ClariNerdand they're not going to suspect a thing when there's suddenly a flood of english comments?
adam326I wonder how many people wrote/will write 'anything' for security answer :P.

Anyway, Thanks for helping with nicovideo!
TheDreamer9Good thing there is a german version of the side
blackprince19My answer to the security question? "I CAN'T READ THIS!"
blackprince19I'm having a lot of fun, thanks Mazui. I'm going to have to think of something new soon. I can't say "How did I get here?" or " I can't understand any of this" forever

Nico2 has an English site now. Wait that defeats the purpose of me having to continue my Japanese Language/Linguistics study!
Will have to find another reason, I got it all the great anime and fan service.

MikaelaOr you can join the English version of NicoNico! Probably won't feel the same but it's a lot easier to understand!
