I'm glad a naked fat guy prevented a misdemeanor and all, but in this crazy post-Zimmerman era of ours, maybe "neighborhood watch" and guns aren't such the ideal combination we all used to believe they were deep in our hearts. You are helping the police, but you are not the actual police, mmm k, Paul Blart?
IMDb just started doing a top 250 list for TV --to go with their famous 250 movie list-- and it includes a lot of anime. Bebop and Death Note unsurprisingly have the highest placements (#27 and #34). Waaayy too much Dragon Ball Z. (Not a fan. And why are there so many different versions of the show??)
But other placements like Steins;Gate (2011) (#81) and Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) (#104) are legit fun. Anyway, just like the IMDb movie list I think it is a worthwhile guide.
The pink haired girl had some negative preconceptions about anime gender representations that were not undermined by the anime they showed her. She could have easily been exposed to films from the most famous Japanese animation director, Hayao Miyazaki, who often uses non-sexualized female protagonists. And unlike most Disney and U.S. animation (until very recently), he gave them goals that do not revolve around finding a perfect husband (e.g. Ponyo, Spirited Away, Mononoke, Totoro, Kiki's, Nausicaa). While there is lots of anime made for teen boys, there is also a lot of anime made for children, and made for girls, and made for families that do not objectify women.
If anything it's more inexplicable that the Nazis are still so uniquely taboo in the West. No imagery from any other historical political thugs or war criminals (including Imperial Japan) are significantly taboo. Open praise for Stalin will not get you fired from a job or shunned by (most) average people, much less if you don a Che beret for the same kind of campy cos-play that Asians likewise shrug off.
Going by our implied guilt you'd think we collaborated with the Nazis instead of fought against them. Japan and America should trade attitudes.
I believe some ornate wallpaper and wainscoting can make any room look fancy. Also ceiling panelling!

So get right on that, destitute Romanian pensioners.

Real reaction when I read this title: How horrible and ironic! Getting killed so soon after being rescued.
The Cat Music is in Appendix A, if you want to hear Cat Music.
.... Sounds like Andrew Bird.

I still like mine for Gattaca: A man overcomes his disabilities by lying about his job qualifications.
