*huge eyes* I totally switched the symbols around. O_O;;; I'm glad you noticed, I haven't sealed any of em yet so I think I can sand it off...yikes. I thought it looked funny, but I didn't really question it. >_>;;

I looked at all of them and was really confused
btw, 子 isn't an animal's name by itself...just in case you didn't know that XD;

I found the chart I was referencing for the symbols, I think it might be chinese....

When it comes to kanji, it's hard to tell whether it's chinese or japanese unless it has the katakana or hiragana with it. @_@

well for me, since I know how to read a decent amount, if the word starts to break my mind then I register it in my head as either traditional or japanese, or a broken word lol. (I can only read simplified)

like, after knowing a lot of the symbols, you can recognize patterns that are used throughout each word. Your dragon and dog however, looked very different from what I was used to lol.

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether to leave it just as 子 or not (since shonen jump just used 子 as the year of the rat kanji). I saw it was different in my dictionary than shonen jump, but I figured I'd go with what they used since I'm sure they have someone on their staff who is much better at Japanese than my dictionary and me. XD

ah yeah, I just looked it up with a jap dictionary and you got it right XD;
I was reading it as chinese

猴子 in chinese is monkey lol;
and 老鼠 would be mouse/rat


kalsdkh that's so weird xD
牛 in chinese would be ox not horse...aksdhfbkh
too different for my mind
