Looks a bit like Guts from Berserk.

More appropriately, what do we call alternative medicine that works? Medicine.

The doctor companion's mom was a "brilliant homeopath"

This seems to be a recurring issue with the Jump/Magazine set. All style, no substance.

It's not a swastika, not that it'll matter to Fox News. Swastikas make an s, whereas the manji makes a z.

Good comic, except for the Homeopathic nonsense.

Probably more fitting as the titles for a Gotham Central show.

Step 1: Read Gotham Central.

Interesting you should say that about action figures... There's a fascinating RadioLab about that very subject.

Anything by Naoki Urasawa- Monster, 20th Century Boys, and my favorite, Pluto... He's an incredibly smart and mature storyteller. I think most of his stuff was released in America (Monster was on Netflix or Hulu, I believe), but of course fansubs/scanslations are available for all of it in the usual places as well.

Berserk comes to mind, and it's apparently getting some new animation to go with the superb manga.

I think the problem is really one of volume. At the start of the anime boom, the anime that made it to America were licensed and released by companies that got their start in fansubbing. This meant that the selectivity was high, and classics of the form were snatched up and released, along with the best examples of…

Will of the market be damned.

Bravo, sir.

That is what I meant to say. Thank you for clarifying. Part of being an American is unconsciously basing things in Christianity ;)

Except that the terminology is muddled- many people, myself included, might be termed agnostic under your reasoning, but consider themselves atheist. Essentially atheism is not believing in God; that's all it means. It doesn't speak to willingness to change given evidence, it doesn't lay out a dogma. All it is is…

A fine example, though doesn't really account for tax savings.

Half Life 2 did it too- after going through the entire game, your gravity gun and hazard suit get super powered, letting you toss fools around with impunity. My theory is this: "modern" fps'es are simply working back up to the greatness of HL2.

There's a problem with the examples: who, among those getting taxed at 15% federal, is going to be able to sock away 3k a year?

Not sure if you know about this or not...
