“All of these Shonen shows have exactly the wrong message: violence solves everything… violence and the will to power.” – Scott/Silence, remarking on Buso Renkin

I don’t believe there’s a conspiracy of shonen mangaka and animators out there trying to promote a more violent world. Although that would be extremely cool if that were the case, now that I think about it. It’d also be very shonen, since a lot of these shows have shady organizations that want to change the world. Still, a literal-minded interpretation of a lot of shows does lead to this conclusion.

I’ve often pondered the difficulties of having public officials at anime conventions. Also, I find this headline amusing:

via Popular Anime Show Is Made Into Live-Action Movie.

Edit: Doesn’t look too credible. Still — NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
2nd Edit: Yeah, it’s on ANN. Damn.
