Looks like I shouldn't be in this class after all.

Wow. Somehow, I hate this class now that we're talking about anime. I need to somehow find something scholarly to read about to post and write an essay about, because this book I got from the library is obtuse enough to literally give me a headache. Maybe that headache is more a result of how frustrated I get when I'm too stupid to understand what ( Read more... )

Great Christcakes, thanks for the warning.

I always thought the blood around San's mouth represented bestiality and being so proud of it! (red = pride)

SURELY it wasn't simply the obvious--helping out injured kin. Nothing is EVER what it seems. >_> I think if Miyazaki WANTED to represent the menstrual cycle, he would have simply made her mouth a vajayjay. He's not afraid of drawing genitals. Look at Pom Poko. Nutsacks everywhere, one guy even turns his stretch-nuts into a blanket! Comfy!

But no really, Sounds like some kids need to STOP THINKING about what DOESN'T matter and just appreciate shit for what it is rather than looking for all those hidden "castle-penises" and "cloud-sex" messages and GET LIVES. Maybe instead of over-analyzing, these kids could go out and uhm...write their own tales? Then barf over cads saying that HUR HUR HIS SWORD REPRESENTS MALE GENITALS AND HIM STABBING THE KNIGHT WITH IT REPRESENTS GAY-LUST AND PENT UP FRUSTRATION

...and stuff. O__o

Oh, and your not stupid. You're sensible. ;)

This inability to read into things certainly isn't going to help me when I need to write pages about how anime I've seen follow what it says in this textbook. How am I supposed to connect a show to a concept if I don't even understand the concept in the first place? T_T
