Yeah, ep. 6 with the Dutchman..... and Mugen's statement about "who would open up their --eerr *door* to you" heh
Wonder how many takes did the voice actors had ---for not cracking up--- they must had a blast! |

That was hilarious. But my question is. What is up with the homosexual themes in anime? Off the top of my head there's Two moments in Samurai Chamloo, Kyou Kara Maou, Airmaster, PMK (Okita and Hijikata) . Homosexuality really seems to be a hot topic in Anime, can anyone shed some light on this? |

I'm from Holland, so this episode should be extra fun for me. I didn't like it very much though. The theme dind't really appeal to me and the episode was kind of a letdown for me after seeing the previous eps. Up until the food-contest i liked it, to me it went downhill from the introduction of the Dutch guy. At last, The homosexuality issue is far different from reality. In Holland it is quite excepted. Damn, this Dutch stuff sucks.

Well, you have to remember that this was in the past and I don't think homosexuality was very widely accepted. (but then again I heard a lot of samurais engaged in homosexual practices)
Ep7 is great. The translation by ROFISH was actually good. Spoiler:

After seeing 6 I was going to start a debate about "whats up with all the homo-erotic gestures in Champloo" but then I remembered Jupiter Jazz 1&2 with the hermaphrodite and SC hasn't crossed that line yet. I'd say Watanabe is his old usualy self when it comes to topics like these. I'm just surprised at how mellow Mugen, Jin and Fuu were with his outwardness of his "taboo" sexuality.

Spoiler for ep 8:
Yeah the ED is a remix i think since episode 7. I remember ep 7 was so sad at the end and the ed song just fit right in. That song starting to grow on me. ^^ |

Well, regarding episode 6, a friend and I watched it a few days back and got into a debate. This series is already liciensed in america and is EXTREMELY likely to be shown on american television. So my question is, will that "japan is homosexual" speech be changed on american tv? the topic of homosexuality is quite taboo in this country due to the overwhelming majority of christians. and if the message isn't changed, how will the christian anime fans react to it?
EDIT: oh, and if anyone cares, me and my friend are both hoping it isn't changed for american television and that christians get really pissed off so that we may laugh at their bitching. ^_^ |

(Gren is the hermaphrodite who shows up toward the end of Cowboy Bebop, btw). And I wouldn't say that homosexuality is "quite taboo" over here--the fact that Republican Congressmen couldn't even get a majority to vote for the anti-gay marriage amendment should be proof enough. |
