Way late to the party, but I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say that. A lot of Kitoh's works deal with children because, generally speaking, he's using them as a microcosm of the human race as a...

Hey, I actually completely forgot about it, but I made this screenshot-parody-ish thing a while back, when I finally realized what was so familiar about Sheryl's hair. It is EXACTLY the colors of...

Well, there we have it... I can't decide if I like this ending better than the end of the previous chapter, but it does do some necessary wrapping up, and clarifies a few points.

Char Aznable from Gundam is a must, for being such a cool character with genuinely debatable motivations. Also for being an antagonist who gets...

Is it bad that part of me still kind-of wishes someone would properly animate the last arc of Rurouni Kenshin, even though it's never going to happen (obviously Reflections doesn't count)? For that...

Hm, fair enough. I guess my beef is mostly with literary critics--being a fan of genres/modes that they frequently snub just on principle (i.e. any science fiction that isn't a dystopia or...

@Shadow Kira01: I think you have a few of your facts... pretty much dead wrong, no offense.

I would say that the problem is, as others have said, that you're loading down the word "anime." It's a medium, nothing more, and if the majority of what's being made is shameless, derivative crap......
