Actually, since you removed the references to Asian characters in that exact quote, aren’t YOU the one doing the white-washing?

I thought GitS was inspired by Hong Kong and the famed Kowloon Walled City? Doesn’t that make it extremely Cantonese?

oh yeah, just about everything rally related is in the middle of nowhere

I should have clarified, one near me.

Fixed it!

“David Levinson has met with the greatest mechanical minds and architects from Japan. They’ve chosen to bring a symbol from their popular culture to the battle against the alien threat. Operation Meteor and a fleet of single pilot space combat suits being called the Gundam Wing.”

ALL OF MY MONEY.

Worst corporate synergy ever:

Because Zonda!

it’s the car i can only just barely respect for the motor first, and chassis second. the rest of it is full of WTF for me, and have never understood the intense orgasm’s people get over the brand.

Exterior: I can get behind that. Interior: WHAT THE FUCK.
