It’s funny but Bleach and Ichigo do not compare well to Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Urameshi Yuusuke, even though both are serious fighters. Ichigo seems psychotically violent even in the first ep while YYH manages to arouse sympathy for Yuusuke, even though he’s a self-styled punk and calls himself ‘the number-one delinquent’ of his high school.
Eagel. We’ve been through this. Just because you’re allergic to peanuts doesn’t mean we all should be.
Then extend him the same courtesty and back off.
Um, I’m sorry what’s my disorder? Oh right. None.
Since EW is not even suggesting that you not play a game with pentangles or whatever, why do you act as though he is?
Because he is implying that something is demonic and no, that is not expressing his misgivings and yes, it does come off as demanding. Can’t you see the parallel of what he says with guys like Jack Chick?
Not in the least.
How does seeing the demonic in every single fantasy symbol not sound like Jack Chick? Its quite obvious that using pentagrams in RPGs is A-okay because its just a friggin’ shape. No demons will come out and haunt you. It is not like using a ouija board. So hence, I have every right to tell him to keep his scruples in check.
I don’t need to be aim at anyone to shoot a shotgun-style question like what he did.
Excuse me, but… That’s complete nonsense, please educate yourself before posting… Miyazaki goes on, and on, and on about saving the environment in many of his films.
)I trust therefore you will take your own advice and reread my post. I made a valid statement. I speak a little Japanese and I refer to a particular speech in a particular movie.Excuse me, but… That’s complete nonsense, please educate yourself before posting… Miyazaki goes on, and on, and on about saving the environment in many of his films.
It’s layered on thick in Spirited Away, in Nausicaa…
Along with that, Miyazaki also manages to slip a strong anti-war message into any movie that doesn’t have the “save the planet” message, aswell as very strong feminist tones.
It was there from the beginning, Disney didn’t change anything.
While I do love some of his movies, his repetitiveness, and messages get old.
…
Anywho, on a current topic that people here are still actually discussing… Wolfs Rain is 30 episodes… but four of them are pure recap, and should be burned in a fire…
(And hello there, anyone mind if this protestant slips into your little anime thread and hangs out awhile?
Sorry but I’m with him on this one. I hail Miyazaki as much as any other anime fan but it really is true regarding the themes of his movies. I’ve seen the Disney versions of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and a subbed version of Howl’s Moving Castle. Believe me, they are not censored and there is not much to deviate from in terms of translation. He really is a clear-cut anti-war environmentalist.
Well you’re a parent and I can see why you are concerned. However, stuff like anime are just like comic books, video games, and movies. You really need to educate yourself well on the subject (or at the very least consider the words of experts and experienced enthusiasts) before you can exercise judgment.
So you claim. But I see MANY more layers than just that—including Nausicaa as a Christ figure. Even if Miyazaki did not consciously mean it, it belittles the power of the Holy Spirit to discount the possibility.
Yeah well if you like to read into things and have your own interpretation, that’s fine by me. I’m actually quite fond of putting forth reader-oriented theories in fiction myself.
