qze that is the end of the normal series. Since they ran out of money, the people from Gainax were forced to wrap everything up in two episodes that felt like a psychoanalytic session, yet were very beautiful and strange for a television anime. After a few months, a cult following emerged, and they were compelled by popular demand to make a final one-hour episode that explains (a strong word for Evangelion) a bit more. The ending is on par with AKira, a remarkable apocalyptic tale. Ah, the Gundam's bust is 9 meters tall. @caz: and why, how does it start, do you remember? Shinji who jerks off while watching the German girl in a coma in the hospital bed!!

Damn, I didn't even remember them anymore. They were my obsession about 10 years ago! Kill the sex player, I should download it again; it was also featured on Clerks. Anyway, I liked the next one more, but I can't remember the name, damn it.

In Japan, everything is visual kei; the only (few) original things in the vast landscape of Japanese music that have influenced those Western bands they were inspired by are the wild noise groups, like Hanatarashi, Gerogerigegege, Masonna, and the dissonant company. I really don’t understand why people get attached to stuff like L'Arc~en~Ciel, since there are already plenty of such crappy bands in both Europe and America. It bothers me a bit because it often seems cool to follow them just because they’re Japanese, thus very “exotic,” but not too much, because Japan is the harmless Asian Other, culturally malleable and, deep down, innocuous. I don’t mean to say that everyone has this approach, but I can see it right away in the new wave of Japanophiles that have emerged in the last 7-8 years. It’s called the Orientalist approach, and it’s not that great…

well, I’d love to hear it, I have a bootleg from Holland and I don’t know where else, but in Italy nothing decent. Just the vinyl of a live show in Brescia from the same year, where you can hear people talking and Gilmour’s guitar sounds like a circular saw.

Damn, I unleashed the nippon maniac inside you. So, I wanted to get tenshi no tamago, but my passion for anime ended with my thesis, which was precisely about this. Then just a bit of superficial interest, I’m currently rewatching Evangelion (The End of Evangelion included... you really need to see it because the ending is totally worth it), and buying Stand Alone Complex, the TV series of Ghost in the Shell (not much to write home about, but it has the origin of ningyo zukai (master of puppets) that will then appear in the first film. Akira back then was surrounded by a mythical aura, it was only shown in a few theaters, a bit like the late-night broadcasts on Raitre of Tetsuo by Tsukamoto (both films drove my adolescence astray when I was 14). Anyway, Akira remains beautiful even years later, no doubt about it, and the comic is even better. As for GITS, you can't compare the manga and anime because they are really two different things, almost the opposite of each other. @ajeje: I got Memories 5 years ago and I have to say that now that they’ve dubbed it a bit, it’s kind of pissing me off, but it's fantastic. @qze: I don’t agree with the character design of Evangelion, which I still think is crap, that was the reason it initially seemed like trash to me. The Evangels, on the other hand, are remarkable; just think, they gifted me all of them in articulated 40 cm models after my thesis, definitely money thrown down the toilet, whatever. Ah, last nerd attack from cartoons: in Tokyo, I went to the Bandai Museum, where there’s a life-sized moving bust replica of Gundam. The homeland of the weirdos.

good job highlighting the homophobic drift of today’s reggae, even though Marcus Garvey wasn’t exactly charming, considering he referred to African Americans as half-black and unworthy. well, Rastafarianism is just a delirium of Judaism, Coptic Christianity, Queen of Sheba, and so on.

Well, the current situation of anime in film is quite pathetic. Apart from Miyazaki, even if Howl's Moving Castle was a bit of a mess, I haven't seen great things in recent years. Steamboy by Otomo is HORRIBLE, Innocence isn’t that great either, and I haven't seen Appleseed, which is always based on Shirow's work. I mean, they are now producing blockbuster products for Western audiences. In fact, in Japan, Shirow is not appreciated by anyone. The same goes for Otomo. Let's say that the last decent things (this time in terms of short animated series) were Evangelion (which, although it seems like a cartoon for teenagers, says much more than it appears and exposes a lot) and Lain.

a somewhat indigestible read...during lunch break I’ll give it a go, since I’m really interested in the group. Especially because Ben Chasny from Six Organs Of Admittance is collaborating on this and I didn’t know that, so I assume the musical coordinates might catch my interest.

I was told that the dubbing turned it into a film for idiots. I saw it three years ago in Japan and honestly, neither I nor my friend Tsuru, who spoke perfect Italian, understood a damn thing. I just couldn't explain much. The first GITS remains one of my cult films, also because of Kawai's soundtrack, where he used a truly white voice... a castrato. Furthermore, the lyrics were in a mix (if I'm not mistaken) of classical Japanese and an even older dialect. The film itself told me little, but I could imagine it.
