Essay: Defining Anime and Prototype Theory
I obviously don’t intent to formulate any kind of theory or anything too complex/time-consuming, but I would like to comment a little on how people may find a better definition of what “anime” is. Take the case of Spice and …

I think I’ve always been quite a romantic – not only because I’ve always enjoyed romantic classics and other fantasy works such as The Lord of the Rings or Lovecraft, but also because my attitude to life has always been …

(No, I haven’t become an environmentalist, I’m not rich) As you know, I usually avoid controversies, but I have often expressed my dislike of the attitude of those who I term “the critics“. One of the things they usually hate …

Suggestive as a deep exploration of the topic of C.C.’s shaving habits might be, this is actually a reflection on quite a different question. I have often mentioned that when I judge an anime I take into account above all …

One of the things that caught my attention from the moment I started watching anime was the conspicuous lack of parents in anime. The number of animes where, whether as a main theme or not, one or both parents are …

The Ladies vs Butlers special 02 is an example of what I often say – fanservice needs a story. Ladies vs Butlers wasn’t the most imaginative story or had the most complex characters, but turned out to have a decent …

Before anything else, I need to clarify two points. Firstly, for me reality (real life, 3D) and anime/fiction (2D) are clearly distinct entities, as my common sense (vs. academic thinking trying to undermine good-old ideas) says. Second, I value escapism …

It is often said that in romantic comedies, especially ecchi comedies, the characters don’t usually get very far in their relationships despite all the ecchiness – I mean, a kiss is even rare and many joke that it’s the anime …

Working!! seems to be the latest victim of some bloggers who delight in harshly criticizing certain animes. Since I’m relatively new to this world, I didn’t really notice this trend until last year, when I saw that suddenly many bloggers …

I guess everyone remembers the Lucky Channel episode where Shiraishi Minoru complained about the current usage of tsundere and wanted to bring back the “original” meaning -that is, meaning a progression of the attitude of the heroine as the story …
