Is that the reference here? I've been staring at his chin trying to figure out how  it looks like spinach.

The hair is a fair point, @avclub-ff106e6c37bdf72c1903080b91d5b2c8:disqus, though I suspect it's explained more or less by the need to provide each character with a totally distinctive look.  But light skin is not uncommon in Japan.  Do a quick image search and you'll see plenty of people whose skin at the very least…

Lobsters, Fox remains the number one cable news channel to this day.  Clearly, someone hasn't figured out how dumb it is yet.

You are my Goddamned hero.

I could actually go for that, theoretically.

It's over something something…

I guess we're all going to get the Bleach now…

A friend of mine still reads Bleach out of some unholy sense of obligation.  I can't remember the last time I looked over his shoulder and saw a page that actually had the supposed main character in it.

There is a definite tendency for all Shonen shows to devolve into Dragon Ball Z.  The hero and his scrappy companions will face the toughest guy in the universe, and after eighty episodes eventually beat him.  Then they'll fight another guy even tougher than that one guy, who makes them all look like chumps.  Ninety…

As opposed to inventing an endless stream of new characters?  But how would we ever get to see all his new designs!?

Since Bleach has been going on for about fifty million years at this point, I think it's fair to say that a lot will have to be left out.  So much, in fact, that I'm not convinced the results will be filmable.  So either we get something unfilmably bad, or we get a movie with Bleach characters that has nothing to do…

That was my first thought.  If they can do this to Dragon Ball, then of COURSE they can do this to Bleach. 

Question; why do Americans always assume that anyone who isn't squinting in an anime must be "white?"

The Lord of the Rings is obviously not an animated film, but neither is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  The fact that a movie is predominantly live-action doesn't mean it can't have animation in it, and I don't see why using an actor for reference makes the work done in computers any less "animation" than the traditional…

Hey, I don't mind being wrong about this.  I just think that recent events seem qualitatively different, and I don't like where they seem to be leading us.  The example of Lincoln isn't exactly heartening on this issue.

Who let 4Chan in here?

You don't even have to look at abusive relationships to see why you're wrong.  People make poor decisions regarding relationships, and they're probably more likely to do so the more emotionally involved they are in them.  Sure, it may be obvious that a relationship is going nowhere, but the confluence of desire and…

In our collective defense, I think that most of the jokes are spun off of a moral indignation at the fact that Chris Brown retains the ability to do things like this, and bewilderment that Rihanna and her people are enabling it.  I don't think joking about Brown being an abuser makes me any less upset about his…

I mean, a Grammy for God's sake.

I'm currently watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time with my girlfriend.  I do not appreciate my worlds colliding in this way.
