trust me, it's fascinating, and explains that the word only broke into common use in 1989. I'd call that pretty "new."

To bring up a slightly other topic... am I the only person around who was rather put off by the trailer? Hataraki Man was one of the animes I was anticipating the most (finally a josei again! Yay! Did I ever mention how much I love Noitamina?), but the weird music, the voice actors that I don't really like (so far) and especially that "I love my work"-crap was rather disappointing to me ^^; The manga looked so good though. But oh well, it's only a trailer.

"Moto" can be written in many ways that have many subtle meanings, but 元 is the only one that refers to "ex-" (like "ex-policeman" is 元警察官, "ex-girlfriend" 元彼女). Heck, even in that article you link it's used: "...、元AV女優の松坂季実子..." Even though she doesn't look flat I think maybe they meant that she used to be... ah... even more well-endowed. Except that stress or something caused a change. And I'm arguing about this because 1. it changes the nature of the sentence and 2. I don't want to study for my biology test >_<

Can she go on living with this dilemma? Which is more important to her? Is she developing a life-threatening illness? Will her coworkers support the new Hiroko? Will she overcome this loss? Ah, the drama of seinen/josei anime! 8) PS: |

I thought it looked kind of....boring. Like, there's nothing to "hook" the viewer. I know it's a slice-of-life type thing, but still.

i laughed at how the trailer ends by pitching the series as something that'll make you love work more. this is definitely aimed at a different audience than the usual fluff that populates 90% of any given season, and i'm looking forward to it.

I guess trailers are only useful as a very general gauge about what the series is going to be like (for example, Hataraki Man is not... an action series.) But those are painfully obvious usually anyway.
I guess sometimes they show the style and mood of the show: though this can always change too. Perhaps you can generally judge the animation/production quality from the visual qualities of the trailer (and the animation wasn't good, but what do you expect from Studio Gallop)... of course they usually put their best animation into the trailer, so you won't know how bad it can get, but how good it can get - so if what they show you has sucky animation, be prepared for teh rest After Eureka 7 though, I think I've been watching a lot less trailers... EDIT: And just to be an arrogant snob and close off the "Naturally Large-Busted" debate - Spoiler for quote from 2ch:

Wait a minute... that comment from 2-chan didn't explain anything! They said it was wrong and explained how it was a hook to get otaku's to watch the show, but... well, that's obvious. How exactly was our interpretation so off? What's WRONG with that translation?
