Well, technically it IS anime but it’s diverging in an incredibly interesting way.

Damn. I dunno if this bridge is part of the conspiracy but I heard once that certain East Coast bridges were purposely built low so as to prevent buses from being able to access certain highways and freeways. This was straight up a Jim Crow kind of thing since when these bridges and overpasses were constructed, most…

Um. Nope, can’t agree. Shows like these are so popular because the creators have pulled off the neatest trick in story telling: appealing to multiple niches. Sure Adventure Time appeals to kids and so does Ren and Stimpy and Stephen Universe and Invader Zim. That’s one of their goals. Same with Looney Toons. But you…

Cowboy Beebop was not only a turning point in the popularity of anime in general it remains to this day to be one of the best story series I’ve ever experienced in anime or sci fi (and that includes live action).

Sorry, I’m dumb. Zim was 90's.

Invader Zim!

Don’t listen to those snobs. Like whatever you like for whatever reason you want to like it. At the same time, listening reasoned arguments of others for liking or disliking something can lead to deeper understanding, greater appreciation, and exploration of new things you might not have otherwise discovered. These…

Thinking you can do a deep dive of culture through anime is like saying you can learn how to shoot a gun from action movies or how to fight from karate and kung fu flicks. It’s at best naive.

Well hold on there a second. Why should Japan be inclusive?

First off. Let’s please all just admit that so far almost none of the live action movie anime movie adaptations (at leas the ones with action scenes, sci fi or fantasy) has ever come close to being as good as the animes with maybe two exceptions (Old Boy and Ichi the Killer and Old Boy is Korean so I’m not sure it…

Well, character building and world building is difficult in four episodes so I give you that. But we’re also talking about trying friggin appreciate a story that has like three year gaps in between episodes. I mean, the new story has taken so long to tell that I honestly can’t recall any part of the story AT ALL. I…

Fuck that shit. IT’S LITERALLY HIS JOB. He’s not doing it. Criticism is warranted. Besides, if he didn’t have an ending, why commit to a schedule over and over again if you’re going to screw it up. There’s no universe where that makes fans happy or sense in business. People will just lose faith and interest and up the…

Yes my anime brother from another mother. It’s almost becoming kind of like Half Life 2. Kind of a fucking unicorn at this point. Make a shitty Godzilla movie? Sure! Do a different cartoon instead of the one I promised? Why the hell not?

Hmmm, yeah but no. Puppetry is much closer to theater. It’s a choreographed performance edited onto film. So really this comes down a question of definitions.

John dies at the end. I’ve seen it. Doop!

So the race of Gods worshipped by some of the most caucasian cultures in the world and in all their literature, you don’t anyone happened to mention that the guardian to the gateway of the heavens was the color of night? I don’t buy it. Am I racist? Yes, but not because of this post. I seem to be the only guy who…

To beat Galactus, BP would need a Hulk...

Nooooooo. It’s not the same comparison. Saying “MLK is articulate for a black dude” is basically imposing a preconceived and racist notion about how good an actual person of color could acquire and use a “foreign” language. It’s a statement oozing with racism and it’s a step backwards from acceptance; it’s still a…

Uh, rich, magical, royal, genius, king, super pajamas, advanced technology, nationalist, educated, alien super metal, probably the first. I think that wraps up all his advantages and I can’t see any of the Icon characters or even Miles (who is only HALF black) measuring up to that shit. He is practically the…

C’mon now, the only “orange” people are red heads who are all like from Scotland or Ireland or some shit. Just because of Brexit, the Isles are no longer Europe?
