Comment on a Double Arts manga overview (with extra added genre-blather) by pookie

it’s really a nifty and rather unique scenario.
and i loved the characters.
even the ones with minimal screen time felt like they had stories and lives outside of the manga’s viewpoint.

…really sad it got canned. D:
I’m really really hoping they’ll get to do something with it some day.
it’s a really different and engrossing series.

Comment on berserk pt 1: excuse me while I rape this girl by English Dubbed Anime

lol I was reading there’s alot of rape in Berserk. It looks like a good Anime, but I wanna watch it with my girlfriend, and I don’t think the rape would be appropriate. =p

Comment on Fairy Tail, chapter 100: Sorry Erza, I’m off by Alex

I agree with both opinions I’ve read. I thoroughly enjoyed Fairy Tail, and Erza is my favorite character. I would have been sad yet very satisified if she had died- it would have been good. I was kind of disappointed that they brought her back but also relieved. I didn’t want to let go of her either. To me it always seems there are two types of stories- the ones that kill characters and the ones that don’t. So far, Fairy Tale is the type that doesn’t. It just seems a little more realistic when character are killed off.

As a side note I would read Naruto- like a lot of anime/manga it takes a little time to adjust to the different world and story but once you do- you become immersed. It’s great. That show is one that kills characters. It’s probably my very favorite.

I also just read it and almost cried when I realized it was over at that point. I was like *NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!* at the end. I really hope the author writes more about it later.
I agree that it was a different type of story from most shounen, but it was very much worth the time to read it and distract me from other things, eg school.

Comment on Dead Leaves Review: it is basically a load of balls by rossukun

rossukun — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:26:30 +0000

Surely there must be SOME abiguity and purpose in the film. I don’t know whether it’s just because i want there to be so i can try to make sense of themes and how they’re relevant. I too don’t like watching pointless anime, i like something that has something more to it. With a deep, rich, meaningful psychology to it. I can’t decide whether ‘Dead Leaves’ is a pointless load of twisted crap or if there is an ambigous point behind all the crazy animation, etc.
Overall, I felt unsatisfied after watching it, much like after I saw the film ‘Cloverfield’ little was explained and lacked much of a point to it.
However, i some what enjoyed the first two thirds of the film. I think it’s worth watching, atleast once so you can have your own oppinion on it.

Comment on Of Mecha and Mechambivalence by Loli_cat

Loli_cat — Thu, 07 May 2009 21:07:52 +0000

I think it’s following that divide which makes me inclined to see the mecha as aspiration more than as idol-worship. …

But every devout muslim has at least one pilgrimage in his life so that he may worship mecha!! ^o^
