I'd also suggest Monster, great anime.. I'd suggest 20th Century Boys too (by the same creator), but it's only a manga. I don't know much for anime other than that, as I prefer manga much more. :P E...

Post: Idea for sentence mining

This website: http://jrek.ta2o.net/ Is (I think) a bit similar to what you're trying to do. You put in whatever Japanese word/kanji/sentence and it searches the web for uses of it.

Post: help?

The で is part of the verb so it's 置かないで ください. Which means by itself Please don't put/place __. I think the whole sentence basically translates as: Please don't put/place the object in the corridor.
