"punk rock music" does not mean the same thing in japan as in the rest of the world.

Way to hate on Japanese culture.

"I generally hate slice-of-life stories. I find them meandering and pointless."

Well this explains the strange "must watch anime" lists full of wacky-action anime.

This is largely correct. I made a similar comment somewhere. People here are failing to understand what fan-service is.

Calling all the nudity in Kill la Kill "fan service" is just foolish. The writers clearly didn't do it for the fans, they did it as part of the story.

So good.

I'll stick with my VHS copy of the original featuring that great pizza hut commercial.

"Think of your favorite thing in the whole universe, something that in your head you cannot even ponder a single reason why someone would dislike it."

Who do you think I am, some cult member?

I don't see a problem. It is an April Fool's promotion.

I don't consider the lucky star opening all that bad either.

I've never heard anyone say the Kenshin intro was bad. In fact, I've found that most people find it quite endearing.

It was the perfect balance of cute and sexy. Shows today have gone a bit overboard.

It is a little unfair to compare the anime scene on the west coast to the overall American anime scene. They were years ahead for obvious reasons.

The movie you are thinking of is Beautiful Dreamer probably.

I kinda liked it.

As far as sci-if goes, Vonnegut is probably one of the least political authors.

Yeah, this is more of a trick than training.

It would be more astounding to claim that Pixar made a unique film that holds up to critical scrutiny based solely on its originality.

Just because they are bad, doesn't mean it is stupid to like them.
