Fall 2011 Anime Spotlight

Quote:

Masazumi Honda VA: Miyuki Sawashiro Vice President of the student council. She's very serious, skilled in debate, and aiming to become a politician. In the past she underwent gender reassignment surgery in order to succeed the family name, but certain circumstances forced her to stop the process part way. Her lack of breasts is a result of the surgery, but Tori treats her as a girl with tiny boobs.

I was already planning on avoiding Horizon, but at least now I've got a super solid reason to!

I now have a reason to check the show out even though I had no reason to before hand.

Well, good for you.

Meanwhile, I have RL friends who are undergoing gender reassignment, and I think such a character backstory (ESPECIALLY since the last line implies that it's mostly a set-up for "lol titless" punchilnes) is insulting and crass.

Schools in real life are full of people who would think that this is funny and hilarious.

Full of people that will label you, tease you, torment you, and play all sorts of jokes and antics on you.

Schools are the last place to expect 'political correctness'.

So other than the futuristic setting, they are probably right in portraying the events that you and I have commented on, since they happen in real life all the time in that age group and at school.

The one thing you have to understand about me is that if something causes a neg reaction with someone that means I will give it a watch (well at least the first episode)

In Fate/stay night, fans watched the fourth Holy Grail War; in Fate/Zero, they can see the events which took place ten years prior to the original anime and visual novel's story, which would have a strong impact on the war. The tale revolves around Kiritsugu Emiya, the foster father of Fate/stay night protagonist Shiro Emiya.

So you watch absolutely everything? What show doesn't get a negative reaction from a portion of the audience? Your reasoning is as bad as hating something just because it's popular.
