  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I saw it and thought it was just great! I had heard about it last year when I ordered my Neon Genesis Evangelion (are you aquainted with it?) DVD boxset. Compared to the staple western animation we get it was such a breath of fresh air. There were loads of kids in the cinema when i went to see but it was to different to what they'd be use to for it to really be appreciated i think.

Very imaginitive! I was trying to think of some way of using themes from it in a kids talk with our youth group but i'm still working on it!

blessings to you and yours,

Andy

Please explain.

I thought that it was very UNLIKE mainstream anime.

Or by mainstream do you mean popular.

Oh, I meant popular. It's wildly popular, and that can kind of detract from it's uniqueness since it's so exposed. However, it's very unconventional, so it's not comparable to DBZ and other "mainstream" anime.
