Well, Pokemon is mass commericalism, as opposed to Mononoke Hime, Evangelion or Trigun but even they sell a good deal of toys, CDs, etc. Pokemon, however, is JUST about commercialism.
Eva is JUST about writing a goddamned brilliant anime series.

That's why I like Pokemon -- it's not pretentious at all <G> And it's bright and alive... makes you want to live a long life
It makes me glad I don't *have* a little sister!Originally posted by mpanty

Mmmmhhh... true, in France they dub a lot...Originally posted by Unforgiven
I'm just glad DBZ wasn't Dutch dubbed. And glad in General I don't live in Germany or France, where they dub everything. We just subtitle, which I can live with.
Eh... Weren't you just complaining about too much dubbing in France?
And mpanty. I got the DB manga today... I love it!!
But right-to-left reading is HARD! Damned Japanese! :-p

I do, it was on TV a couple of years here in Portugal. Blood everywhere and a lot of heavy metal. The story was weak though.
No I can't (wish I could though), I meant Japanese as in people from Japan. But I have the brand new Viz comics English translation. It's uncensored and printed in the original right-to-left format. Which means that while the text is English, you have to read pages, pictures, speech balloons and effects backwards. Although not totally backwards, just right-to-left, but still top-to-bottom. That can get confusing. It's just so against my nature to do that.Originally posted by mpanty
Wait... you can read Japanese?
LOL That's weird...Originally posted by Unforgiven
The first page in (for us westerners) the right direction says "Wait, you're reading this book in the wrong direction" and gives an explanation on how to read it!
