The game featured in the light novels and anime Sword Art Online is becoming a VR reality, and the developers are looking for 208 people brave enough to test it. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to get trapped inside the game.

Dankedainingu restaurant in Nagoya, Japan is probably the only place in the world to get an awesome Dragon Ball hot pot meal. The balls themselves are made of gelatin and little carrot stars, and are pretty much the coolest looking thing I've ever seen.

Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki has announced plans to build a 2.5 acre nature park for children in Japan. The park, "The Forest Where the Wind Returns," will create a space for visitors to experience nature with all five senses. 

Miyazaki is personally funding the $2.5 million project, which will be built using local resources and labor. "The Forest Where the Wind Returns" is expected to open in 2018. With any luck, it'll be filled with forest spirits to visit.
