Are those Iraq references in Bobobo in the original series?

the real question is how is Toonami even allowing them on?
and yes he is right, Eureka seveN is seriously the best anime on right now. this may sound strange... but just give it a chance to get going i just wish they didn't cut the intro |

What did you expect with Bandai? Ghost in the Shell seems to be the only exeception with the OP shortening because it's so damn stylish.
For some reason, I was put-offish about Eureka 7 to start with, and the first coupla episodes helped cement that point. Damn you, BONES. Why did you have to do a freaking Sunrise knockoff?! |

Adult Swim knows to never shorten Yoko Kanno. It's the law. lol And wasn't BONES created by old Sunrise members? They also did the Bebop movie, while Sunrise did the TV series. And it it a pretty good series. Renton and Eureka remind me of Naota and Haruko a little bit, but I don't know why, as Eureka and Haruko are totally different. But whatever |

Actually, the Wolf's Rain opening theme isn't shown, the ending theme is cut short as well as Cowboy Bebop's now. And Yoko Kanno did the music for both of those series as well. |

First, I was kidding. Hence the 'lol'. But Bebop's is cut now? When I saw Bebop on [as], The OP/Ed were only cut as much as the Japanese version. And I didn't know Wolf's Rain aired on [as]. But they cut 'Gravity'! Ah, that is one of my favorite songs! Oh well....silly [as] people, cutting is for 4kids....lol

Eureka seveN is probally the best anime series on TV, right now (besides Naruto). BoBoBo... Anyone else wonder how its ratings are? I'm surprised CN still has it going...

^^ It's nice to find that I'm not alone in enjoying Bobobo either... But admittedly, I'd like to see the ratings; I don't imagine it's doing TOO well in the states anyways. I always like to point out this ancient Japan Times article which explains just why Bobobo can never do well in the States. Personally, I do think it's doomed in the US, but I still love it to death. |

What a stupid, elitist, ill-informed article. Even setting aside the cheap shots at Pixar and market analysis that has absolutely no basis in reality, the way he works Bobobo into his logic is absurd. Tezuka took Pinocchio to the limit, someobdy called Hi no Tori religious, and therefore Americans won't accept Bobobo because a dying earth and a talking chocolate bar are both "animism"? How does that even begin to make any sense? It reminds me of this exchange with the producer of the Batman movies:

Jmays:
Well Bobobo is existential in a way...
I'm guessing that argument was based on the Adam West Batman which wasn't so bad, but it gutted the pulp appeal of the franchise for decades. Plus the last two Superman sequels put a damper on comic book movies in general.
In the case of the Schumacher film, they were right. :roll: |

The Click, you definitely have a writting pair. Well said.
Well I don't judge by the first few episodes, and this one can go in many different directions, so I am hangin in there. But one question, about what episode will it start. |

OK, I admit, Eureka 7 IS a good anime, despite what I said last week. Ep 2 was pretty good, I was surprised to hear a "blee" in an anime, it's a first for me. Of course I know exactly what the old man had said during that bleep, lol.

Regarding the Eureka Seven "bleep". I find it funny that they can say "damn" but they have to bleep out the 'god' in "goddamn". But they had no problem with "god forsaken" in this weeks episode.

Because that would have been taking the lord's "name" in vain. Kind of like prayer, in that their asking God to damn someone.
I believe generally that George Carlin's 7 forbidden words on TV from way, way back, still apply. There is no more Bono exception. Don't forget that there are people out there who watch things just so they can be upset about what they saw. I bet there are a whole phone bank's worth of people working for one televangelist or other only watching things they can get all upset over, and "cry havoc, let slip the dogs of war." You know what I mean? |

Thanks for another witty column; it's always a good read
Just wanted to clear something up about the GitS: SAC entry -- witty comments aside. The Dejima refugees weren't the target of the bomb; rather, they were being blamed for planting it. The city that was evacuated because of the bomb was the city of Fukuoka. Dejima is a small artificial island located in the bay of Nagasaki. All three prefectures are on the island of Kyushu; the thing is that Nagasaki and Dejima are on the Southern tip while Fukuoka is on the Northern tip of the island. Fukuoka is also the closest point on the island to the rest of Japan, explaining why such a device would be planted there. Just a little geography note that wasn't fully explained in the episode. |
