Thank you very much! I tried really hard to express my love for the film as well as analyze why it is so great.

Well, I guess I can’t blame you because its a very surreal show where the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred.

I appreciate the positive feedback! It really helps!

Here’s the thing: Japan is a very sexist culture, though of course, America isn’t any better. But the difference is that while an American audience can tolerate pro-active female protagonists to an extent, Japan doesn’t due to its long history of rigid gender views. But when there are pro-active females in manga or anime, they tend to be overly-sexualized.

Good for you! 🙂

I can sort of see that. I mean, Anime is no different than watching cartoons or TV for that matter. But manga, like comic books, requires more patience and investment.

True dat! 🙂

I’ll agree to that. Though admittedly, there are some exceptional works that don’t exhibit tits & spandex-wearing superheroes. Think about the Vertigo comics, or the American Manga that’s being made.
