Jesus. Now I realize why I haven't read SF in so long. The names for 1953 are all giants. Does anyone believe that today's winners will be viewed similarly in 50 years?
I know this could be interpreted as a flame. But if anyone can convince me I'm missing a lot by not having read any of this year's winners, please proceed!
No, it means that an affiliate cannot (for instance) make statements that might be construed as Apple policy statements, unless so authorized; the songs sold on Itunes do not belong to Apple (they're licensed), so are not covered by this.
Of course any woman is justified in objecting to shallow standards of attraction.
What disturbs me is your equation that includes anime fans, the ill-defined term "geeks," the Japanese cultural fetish for cuteness, and these guys with shallow values.
I think you see a connectedness that isn't as solid as you suppose, and minimizes both the complexities of human attraction, and the nature of "cuteness" as a show-biz phenomenon unique to Japan.
How do you connect the experience of these women with anime? Were they telling you about their experiences attending anime cons? If so, ask any woman who's attended a western comic con about the social skillz displayed there, you won't see much difference, apart from the exclusion of a racial element. Or were the people hitting on them wearing Lum T-shirts?
I just don't see where you can connect these particular dots so well as to connect geekish sexual/social ineptitude with the work of a Miyazaki.
Such geekish ineptitude is a fact, of course, and a frequent theme here. But to inject that into a discussion of the handful of exemplary anime works just seems a little "out of left-field."
I've been seeing the same woman for four years. She's American, but both her parents were born in China. Her national ancestry and race have very little to do with our having a relationship; that's something that grew out of our working together.
She likes Puffy, too, though not as much as I do. Her taste in anime tends more to cute girls than my own, though she is totally aggravated by panty-flash anime.
I don't see how you can have any genuine friends of other races, considering how fond you are of stereotypes.
No, I'm suggesting that, for good or ill, magazine articles tend to be themed by sometimes-arbitrary categories. This one happens to be about theatrical-standard feature films.
Tatakae! Dainippon Teikoku (The Japanese Imperial, Go!) by Shintaro Kago. This story is an alternate history of WWII by one of the artists who appeared in Secret Comics Japan. The Japanese army have perfected a technique that turns human beings into giants, but for some reason they can only enlarge females. Patriot girls dedicate themselves to their great emperor and become giant weapons against the inhuman Allies. The girls are customized for each purpose. Some girls are made into tanks and some girls are made into battleships. Their guns are their asses and their bullets are their hard constipated shits.
Their translations sometimes (not always) sucked, but that's true of soooo many groups that get a "pass." The main reason for their demise was their lack of people skills.
Thank god the brilliant Airmaster series finally got completely subbed, despite the badmouthing from ppl like you that destroyed AJ.
see it because the story is good, not because it's "anime".
The word "anime" is death at the box office. Spirited Away barely earned its print costs, even after its post-Oscar re-release. Probably more would have seen it if its Japanese origin had been more thorougly disguised.

Maybe they need to look up 'redundant,' as well...

Before that, it was "Mods: why waste points modding down from zero? And please look up the definition of 'troll'"
Thank you for noticing.
You owe me money, biatch!
I think this must be some kind of record. Anybody else willing to read it and tell me what parts might be objectionable?
So, did you burn down the school? I thought so. Pussy.

oh shit...Can you please ask them whether I should kill myself because I like Puffy and want to see Swing Girls ?
kawaii is a leading industry in Japan, for both male and female show biz figures. "Sexy" comes in second.
Acquisition? Are you saying the Disney-Miyazaki deal is concluded?
I hope so, I'll bet Dreamworks could market Miyazaki a lot more effectively.
