THE “AWARDS” WHERE I JUST MAKE FUN OF STUFF:
“Best” DUDE YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING ‘JAPANIMATION’! IT’S NOT KID’S STUFF LIKE DISNEY CARTOONS!: those terrible Marvel anime
Seriously, Tiger and Bunny did everything that these wanted to do a million times better.
My comments are in green. (Hinano)
Michael Robinson notes a trend in New Korean Film, especially in the wake of Shiri (Swiri, Kang Che-kyu 1998) where filmmakers were using “politically or culturally charged themes as simple plot elements or settings in their scenarios for their dramatic effect, not to make a political point”1 in a radical shift from the practices of the Golden Age of the 1950′s and 60′s and of the Korean New Wave of the 1980′s and early 1990′s and their portrayals of imperialist Americans or heroic struggles against Japanese colonists. In a recently post-colonial nation such as South Korea, this creates a complication of traditional post-colonialist ways of thinking. What happens now when a culture that has suffered a collective erasure of its memory and culture takes this position once it is no longer colonized?

Well since apparently JP’s 2008 post was popular I figured we should do one for 2009. Obviously this is mostly opinion based (at least from my stand point) but this year I think it’s better than both of us contribute to the 2009 year in review. Continue reading
SUNRISE LULZ
You see, Sunrise has so many things worth LOLing/lulz that they demand their own section.
Most lulz-worthy: Code Geass R2
The first season of Code Geass was my pick for the best series of 2007. R2 gets an infamy award. The constant rewrites and terrible pacing made the jokes like “I’M POSTING THIS EVERY DAY UNTIL KALLEN IS RELEASED” made it so that there was only a window of 0.04 seconds when I was able to take the show the least bit seriously and enjoy it non-ironically. And while this is the Sunrise lulz category, this show wins overall, Sunrise or non-Sunrise.
