This isn’t entirely an author-style thing. A lot of it comes from art-instruction guides. Even in modern guides, they will often split body styles into three build types and three ethnic groups (caucasian, mogoloid, african).

Your Gainax info is off a bit...

Although I kinda agree with this articles premise (unfortunately, it doesn’t have much of a thesis though), it is full of circular logic and straw men.

Unless they can argue that that do, in fact, have the right to make financial gain off of somebody else’s intellectual property...

I think you are missing the point. You are discussing the legal rights pertaining to private intellectual property as if that is a natural right, which is not exactly a consensus. Hence why millions and millions of people think that they are doing nothing wrong when they produce a work that infringes on copyright for…

Well that isn’t exactly correct. “Rights” are often a grivence in issues of copyrights because these laws effect natuarl rights of expression as well as the rights to monopoly and profit.

I didn’t see this post until today, but I thought I’d chime in. I’ve been driving a right hand drive Subaru legacy for about 15 years and have been going through this the whole time.

My father is a mechanic and I grew up working on cars with him.

This was on highlight real days ago wasn’t it?

To my knowledge there is not an “astounding number of suicides in Japanese teens happening from school rooftops.”

“What a great guest editorial,” said no one.

Bonus: Stalker!

I went and found it before seeing your post. Thanks for helping!

I’ll try to give you a better answer than the others based on your use of the word “worth.”

I’m having a tough time reading a coherent argument from this author. The back and forth describing Stewart’s show and Kilborn’s version is especially odd because we’re not just talking about a decade and a half of transformation, but a decade and a half of rather important historical evens occurring at the same time…

I think you’ll find it is quite linear. You’ll pop into some of the older expantions to level, but you’ll be leveling so fast that it’s unlikely you’ll be able to follow much of the story as it was when it was released.

Keep in mind that you get a free leveled up character...

Don’t leave out the firebombings of Kobe and Tokyo.

A phenominal manga and anime. Keiji Nakazawa is a testament to humanity. I show Barefoot Gen to my students whenever I can justify it.

What I am suggesting is that if it takes the animated version of a fantastical story about mankind fighting giants that eat people to “remind you (on a primal level) what problems really are” then you aren’t doing enough non-fiction reading and are from a background that entitles you to be oblivious to said problems.

N…

I’m not so much saying that I don’t like it as I am saying that neither were great. Specifically, I would say that the Anime was bad, and that the Manga was pretty bad/getting worse.
