The Significance of Anime

· Score: 2, Insightful
Yeah, very interesting article.
Sad that there is alot of "Nihon-jin banare" is still around. It has really been pumped into Japanese culture over the decades. Especially during the 80s. I reckon that there is a collective rejection of this way of thinking coming to the fore however. The "White way" is becoming less popular with the yute, and, unlike Michael Jackson, the Japanese are proud to appreciate and celebrate the inherent non-whiteness of their condition. In time, I believe we will see more and more anime, manga, video games etc propogating the "obviously" Japanese as main characters.
On a racially neutral aside,. I've noticed that anime are extremely popular in the US aswell as the mother-land. I read an article saying that you will be getting plenty of anime on cartoon network etc. The same just doesn't apply here in Europe. They're really popular with you guys eh?
I am in the UK and speak from the viewpoint of having a Japanese wife who has downloaded loads and loads of anime.
I like most of the biggies, Ghost in the Shell being my fave. A truly exceptional animated movie. Akira, Fist of the North star etc. But I aint overly crazy about them. I saw the first couple of stand alone complexes too.
Ghibli Studio work is certainly of a higher standard than Disney too, for the most part. Maybe its just me, but I think that culturally we in Europe/UK really don't appreciate anime half as much as you do in the US.
Anyway, this is a good topic for me. A car will be arriving in less than 2 hrs to take me to the airport where we will be getting on the wonderful 12hr flight to Tokyo. FUckin' A. HEere I come!
It is well known in the field that Mr Poe discovered a black hole,or as he termed it a "pit", but in his autobiography he talks about being strapped under a big "pendulum".
Parappa the rapper. Come on, that game was the best updated "Simple Simon" clone of the lot.
Of course on many a stoned evening with the language of toddlers, the name was reduced to Pappa the rapper, but we all knew what we meant..! Great days, what with Parappa and Abe's Oddessy. Ah!
Sorry for the regression back to 1998.
On a side note, I'm going to Japan in about 36 hours. For 6 days, a 12 hr flight and I'm going for 6 frickin days!! 3rd time I've been tho'. Ok, I'll stop now.
Oh wow! That's great!
I can't wait to get back to the office on Monday and start playing "Will I or won't I get fired?" browsing for porn.
Shit, Monday mornings are boring as hell anyway.
Amazing. Here in London The only stuff Lidl sells is cheap and nasty food. Real budget meals.
The only mice i've seen there are running across the floor.
Or mugging the cockroaches.
It;s the same Lidl tho'
OK, so you can mod me down for being off-topic...

I suggest America doesn't clean up others spilt milk, rather pushes over the milk bottle. Or more precisely, bombs the living fuck out of it.
But hey, if 9/11 didn't learn you, NOTHINg will...
Of course the notion of "classic" depends on your age.
Remember though, we're all generation X brother.
Sheit, I was born in '76. I sure as hell remember these kind of ads. In my country we also had these cool Pacman stickers that came in cereal packets. Anyone remember those?? Waka waka waka...../.
I'm curious as to why you get charged for answering calls to your phone??
Ahhh, right, you're in one of those countries?
Heh heh, you probably still think that pagers are useful devices too huh?
Good luck man, all I can say is, don't answer your mobile
