So, because someone disagrees with you and doesn’t share your penchant for a romanticized Japan and bad tourist trap stock photos, they are a racist? I really hope you’re a child so there’s an excuse for you being so dim.

This is a great picture. Nice to see the world outside of Japan sometimes.

Oh great- another generic Rhode Island picture.

fuck em! There are plenty of hours in the day to have fun. And there are thousands of people in those apartment buildings trying to get sleep before work/school.

another article I’m reading on here is full of counterexamples. But I’d rather go to a bath with Yaks then with a bunch of spiteful, backwards weiners anyway.

most tattooed people i know are in their 40 or older and none yet regret anything, big pieces or small, nerdy motifs or abstract ones.

Bukkake just means like “splashed” or “covered” in Japanese; it’s a preparation of ramen for example. And there’s a near fullsize catbus at the Ghibli store in Hong Kong too.

I can’t wait to see your photo essay, Among the Bosozoku- My Time with the Suburban Scooter Gangs of Shizuoka Prefecture. Will you be showing it at MoMA?

Casual racism is one form of racism. It refers to conduct involving negative stereotypes or prejudices about people on the basis of race, colour or ethnicity. Examples include jokes, off-handed comments, and exclusion of people from social situations on the basis of race.

I am. Isn’t it obvious?

What’s the problem about being mad? I’d rather be mad than sexually retarded.

No. I just dontl like Censorship. No matter how dumb it is. If I want to see Porn i can watch porn or if I want to see Anime Porn I watch Hentai. This is for me at least a question of my standards nothing else.

I love hearing Miyazaki’s thoughts, it figures that he loves imagining while reading books!

Ugh, my brain hates how this doesn’t appear straight :S

Nowhere did I reference race. You are the one who has the issue in your own little head.

Isnt that where they lure girls in then surprise her with bukkake?

I don’t hate Japan. I live in Japan. By choice. I love this place. What I do hate, for good reason, are people who stereotype Japan and promote the stereotype. Many don’t even come to Japan. And a lot that do ignore what right in front of their faces so they’re fantasy of a distant, mysterious, anime filled land…

Agreed. Miyazaki himself said (I believe it was in a Game Informer interview) that he wouldn’t mind if members of his team asked him—in a few years—if they could do another Souls game.

I didn’t have the same concerns with DS 2 that some members of the community did; I really enjoyed it, though it did seem to be…

I really enjoyed this interview and write-up, Patrick; thanks for not only taking the time to do it, but structuring it in a way that allowed Miyazaki to articulate himself (as fully as he ever does in terms of his projects; I don’t mean anything about his language skills here, but rather his tendency toward secrecy)…

I’m talking about all of it. You’re comments are embellished. Your statements are wrong. Don’t be a Japan fanboy. I had a longer comment for you but my phone pooped out on me. In short, don’t use “always” when you mean “in my limited experience”.

Wow really??? London is a godsend compared to NYC. I enjoyed immensely my time in London on the subway vs any day I have to use a subway to get around NYC.
