I too thought that this interview was one of the more interesting parts of Galbraith's Moe Manifesto.

I enjoyed reading the book, but overall it failed to convey anything substantial on moe culture to English-speaking (mostly American) audiences. Galbraith did not give his audience enough tools to connect their…

This is well put rkieru. The fact is that American's speaking in a polysyllabic dialect out of nowhere would sound odd.

For example?

Pft, kendo has nothing to do with fighting. It's mostly just keigo.

Really, it's fine buddy! I understand reviews are subjective. I'm just trying to add to the conversation!

I know what you are trying to say, now at least, but I think it is poorly worded. Reasonable people can disagree:

I used the word "popular" (in quotations) because that is how it is listed on the site. Not because you used it. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm still not with you on this though. I understand your thesis completely. I'm just arguing that it contains logical fallacies that have frustrated other commentors as well.

Thanks for the share. This was funny.

Did you actually go to this place Brian?

If so, またいきましょうか？

Good – Free of Modern Anime Clichés

I, like others reading this review, thought this was a strange comment. If you just mean "anime clichés/tropes in general, well this genre always tends to lack the qualities listed here.

1: "There is no high school setting, no teenage heroes, no endless will-they-won't-they romance."

D…

How can a bishojo anime be "free from modern anime cliches"?

Yes, but I jumped into/swam through the lava in a different area.

Also, I know some rogues farmed coin there from pick-pocket.

To add on to what many are saying about South Koreans disliking/hating Japan, the Japanese tend to dislike Koreans just as much.

I actually did solo my molten core attunement, but not this way. It was a method involving jumping out a window to a bridge and swimming through a lot of lava. I was a shaman, so I died and reincarnated to get rid of all the adds.

I actually spent a lot of time in BRD for one reason: farming flame weapon. It was…

You may be thinking of BRD actually.

UBRS was pretty simple, if I recall.

1: Room where you killed everything to open a door
2: Some fire elemental summoning ritual.
3: Egg Room
4: Work your way to Rend (this is one of the only places you can take multiple paths).
5: Rend
6: Work your way to either Beast or Boss.

By…

I basically misread your post. I though you meant "single instance" rather thank "separate instances."

I'm not sure I ever fooled around with them after that, but I used to really like those zones as well as BRD. So much to do there.

UBRS wasn't exactly non-linear was it? LBRS certainly was though.

Man, it's odd, but I don't remember this at all.

The complaints about the animation are interesting. It struck me as far more shojo than the more popular bishojo styles that are so popular today.

Because it is valid?
