These pages make a lot of use of Japanese text for character names, episode titles, and so on. I include it here because I feel it's important that the non-Japanese-reading viewers of these pages have some exposure to Japanese characters, even for something as basic as the series' title. Also, including the Japanese characters as text here (instead of imbedding them in lots of tiny images) makes the page load faster and take up a lot less space.
Most English-language web browsers are capable of displaying Japanese characters with some extra (usually free) software.
If you use Internet Explorer, you can download the "Japanese Language Support" from Microsoft. On the Help menu within Internet Explorer 4, select Product Updates. If you're using IE5, Select Tools and then Windows Update. Install the "Japanese Language Support" and you should be all set!
For Netscape, there is an equivalent Japanese language support. I've never had any luck getting Netscape to work for me, so I don't know much about it. I believe if you have a Japanese or Unicode font installed on your machine then Netscape will handle the encodings automatically.
The Anime Web Turnpike has comprehensive instructions for most browsers on their Viewing Japanese in a Web Browser page.
If you don't want to install any additional software on your computer, you can always use a proxy server that will convert the Japanese text to small image files that will display on your screen. It's not the fastest way to browse Japanese websites, but it does work in a pinch. It's provided on Jim Breen's wonderful Japanese Resource Page at Monash University in Australia. The proxy server is located in Australia with a mirror site in England and you can type in any URL you want to view. This site's home page can be bookmarked here for easier access through this service.
