    ANIME ARTISTS!! POST STUFF HERE!!

    I don't really like to think of myself as an anime/manga artist... But I do love to make drawings that tell stories. Illustrating my own stories is one of my ambitions. http://www.deviantart.com/view/1580307/ http://www.deviantart.com/view/2285022/...

    What do you hate about anime?

    I think one reason original Japanese voice acting sounds so good in our ears is that we don't really understand what is being spoken. The words don't register in our ears; only the quality and the intonation of voices do. I have a feeling that if I could understand Japanese I would find at...

    Is Berserk Anti Christian? Can Christians Watch It?

    I thought the sex WAS pretty gratuitous... and the violence is extreme. Some people think it's heroic but I think it's at least half plain bad taste.

    Grave of The Fireflies

    I am a fairly sentimental reader, but I just can't get into these characters that are more or less designed to arouse pity...

    Mere Christianity: CS Lewis

    I am amazed that so many complain that the book is hard to get into... I thought it was as accessible as theological/philosophical literature ever gets. It was originally a series of radio broadcasts, you know. If you haven't read it, you have to at least give it a try.

    How many Halo fans are there???

    I don't play multiplayer but I just love the way the single player campaign unfolds the story.

    The Best Game No One Plays

    Ico for PS2... If you know about this game, I need not say more. If you don't know about it, again I need not say more. It's the best game hardly anyone knows about.

    Max Payne 2

    It ripped off every hardboiled detective drama cliche... particularly from Dirty Harry and Mike Hammer. Then again I think that's exactly what they were trying to do.

    Neon Gensis Evangelion

    I think you misunderstood me a bit. I don't like NGE at all. I think its pretense at Christian depth is ridiculous, and the only thing that absolves it from outright blasphemy is its ignorance. As far as I know "God" is not mentioned in this series, though tons of Christian terms (some of...

    Nausicaa manga

    It's a good story, but theologically it is irreconcilable to Christianity. Lots of nature spiritualism and even a smattering of pantheism. In Christianity, "nature" is a creation of God--born in purity and beauty but compromised since, and eventually to be destroyed altogether and replaced...

    Evangelion

    No one on the team that produced NGE is a Christian. The director admitted that he thought Christianity would have a mysterous appeal to Japanese audience, since only about 2% of Japanese are Christians. Don't spend too much time what all the Christian symbols signify in this series; it's not...

    Neon Gensis Evangelion

    The Christian references in that series should not be taken too seriously. It's just the filmmaker's way of giving his story some respectability. Not ONE of the people involved in NGE's production is a Christian. The director admitted in an interview that he picked the Christian symbols...

    What do you hate about anime?

    Their pretentiousness. I have no problem with fiction being preachy, so long as it is well done. But anime in general are not just preachy; they are megalomaniacal. They are obsessed with drawing cheesy morals from every possible situation. I hear Japanese people are some of the most...

    Ico for Playstation2--Has no one played this masterpiece?

    Argon88, have you finished the game yet? I hope you take your time, because the first time through the game is the most special. Replaying just won't feel the same. And by "the most beautiful" I didn't just mean looks, though Ico looks gorgeous. I meant the overall experience of the...

    Ico for Playstation2--Has no one played this masterpiece?

    I just registered as a member, and I can't believe there isn't a single topic on Ico at a gaming forum of this size. I believe Ico is the most beautiful video game ever made. (Now I don't like to make grandiose endorsement like that. I would never presume to know the greatest novel or the...
