The rates of autism in vaccinated kids are the same as in unvaccinated kids. It's just the timing of the vaccines and of when the symptoms start to show. Seriously.

Uh, no. My review: http://rubikunsreviews.live…

1. Spirited Away
2. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
3. Grave of the Fireflies (quality-wise)/Porco Rosso (entertainment-wise)
4. Castle in the Sky
5. Kiki's Delivery Service

@SpuriousGeorge:disqus : You seem a bit confused. Manga is just Japanese comics and there's like a gagillion different genres of manga for different audiences. Hentai is the rapey-crap genre.

Miyazaki's next movie is supposedly going to "not be an easy watch" according to his producer, so I assume it's going to be something more adult-oriented.

After Earthsea bombed so badly in Japan (seriously, it beat Da Vinci Code and Lady in the Water at the Japanese Razzies), Hayao apologized to his son and made Ponyo, a film about one kid with an absentee dad and another with a crazy one, as an apology. Goro actually directed another film since from a script by his…

I'm in, but I'd be much more in if they changed the character design for Tintin to be just a wee bit less creepy. Hell, they should go all-out and do the movie cell-shaded, sort of like that great opening credits sequence but with more detail of course.

I wish this was about Mudkipz.

I had heard the change was just made to appease the MPAA. Why's he defending it beyond that now? Is he really just enjoying screwing with his crazy fanbase?

I'm not offended, but I really connected to the characters in Bebop. FLCL has good character development too but it's a lot more obtuse and, yeah, "coolness." In Bebop I really like the comic interplay between characters, and by episode 5 it starts getting into Spike's big character arc. Thus why I'm kind of surprised…

Kon's stuff can get supremely weird, and I can see someone who wasn't into FLCL not being into Paranoia Agent or Paprika either. Millennium Actress is more reserved, though still highly stylized, and Tokyo Godfathers is incredibly accessible, heartwarming, grounded in reality but with a lot of enjoyable cinematic…

Paranoia Agent or Kino's Journey. The former's a brilliant satirical mindscrew of a psychological thriller, the latter's episodic thoughtful Twilight Zone-esque sci-fi. Both are towards the top of my favorites list and neither gets the love they deserve; PA aired once on Adult Swim but hardly anyone watched it, and…

I'd say it's fair to say at the very least you probably have pretty poor taste in anime if you don't like those two. Maybe I'd say watch Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies simply because I think it's physically impossible to hate those movies unless you're Armond White, but beyond that, I'd say you've given the…

Probably enough for 11 episodes (which is the typical length for shows on the Noitamina block)… and probably more than they managed for Samurai Champloo.

What, no "not on my life my Hindu friend" or "I call the big one bitey" responses? I'm very disappointed in you people!

Is there a chance the track could bend?

And the one thing he "made" for himself really was the focus on altruistic hero work as opposed to blindly selling weapons for profit. So conservative/libertarian, yes, but Tony's far from a Randian.

And David Zucker went on to make American Carol, so it all circles around.

And incredibly close.

The Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy's probably a solid place to start, and if you like that you can go on to the sequel Zeta if you wish. SEED was my first Gundam and it's good but rather slow (something I wish to remedy with the musical adaptation I've written of it which I really hope to get produced someday, so if…
