Nerding with mum
I'm not even sure thhe verb actually exists, but, ehy, hope you get the menaing.
Anyway...for teh, like, first time in EVER, I talked about Comics, anime and Manga with my mum (and my dad, as well, to be fair)
That she didn't like western I was already aware of, as I knew she loved to death Diabolik - she used to have a huge collection of that one; my first comic was a Diabolik, in fact. (she kept them at ehr old house, and her father send them on fire 'cause they weren't suited for a little girl as me).
What I didn't know about was her HUGE LOVE for japanese anime. her, my nowadays 52 years old mum, who always complaied about me buying X-MEN and Martyn Mysterer, used to love anime. like, used to watch them religiously.
I mean, she spent like an hour talking about captain HARLOCK and Galaxy Express, describing me the similarities in style and how she thougt the story were connected. she is aware they were, but with the publications in Italy you can never guess which one gave life to the other; she talked aboput the story behind them, how, essecially, they were "dark" and not really suited for young child (a man who has lost everything, the love of his life killed, and a young amn who has to sold his body to science to give his family the possibility to econimically survive- that's the way we reemmber the stories), but that the "dark" and the sad are, essecially, the omnipresnet constant in every thing that's given to them.
In the little mermaid, Ariel become part of the sea, and loses hte love of her life.
In Bambi, he survives the hunters only to merely survive a fire.
hansel and Gretel are going to be eat by the the bad witch
And so on, soince those are the ones i remember now. any other idea?
