| Posted By: Answers Posted On: Mar 24, 2006 Views: 1885 | Erin Ptah All of the series in the poll have been, or soon will be, involved in Shine, so I wanted to see how well-known they were. FMA won't be here in the near future (though eventually . . .) 1) It's mahn-ga. When written in the Roman alphabet, Japanese sounds are always transcribed the same way, and the "a" is said "ah. So Sailor Moon's name is oo-sah-gi, Hellsing's author is Kohta Hir-ah-no, and that stuff you watch is, yes, ah-nee-may. 2) I think that it would be different if the Millennium Nazis actually spouted anti-semite doctrines, but none of them seem to care too much about killing the Jews. If not for the swastikas, most of the characters could pass for general "let's kill people and make trouble for the good guys" villains. (And, probably, nobody would be giving their fans weird looks ^_~) I think it's a mistake to make a big deal about it, unless a fan (or Hirano) actually starts saying "I like this character because s/he shares my racist philosophy." Then you can get worried. |
| Posted By: Anonymous Posted On: Mar 23, 2006 Views: 1767 | Nazis Hey Erin, I've got another question. :) (Actually two.) 1. How do you pronounce manga? Is it mahnga or may-nga? 2. In the Hellsing manga, the nazis are often potrayed as being funny, attractive (Rip,) or downright cute (Schro.) I understand that there needs to be comic relief, but I've noticed that a lot of people (especially on deviantart) seem to side with the nazis, which I think is disturbing. I know I'd be upset if Schro got killed. How do you feel about Hirano's portrayal of the Nazis? I know also many times they are shown in their true colors, killing people, etc. On one hand, Nazis to me are anything but cute. On the other I know it is just a book and I can look past the portrayl of Nazis without disliking the manga at all. I'd just like to know your opinion. =^..^= |

| Posted By: Kenshin Posted On: Mar 23, 2006 Views: 1744 | Anime Full metal is my fav.. I think you should add that to the poll |
| Posted By: Erin Ptah Posted On: Mar 22, 2006 Views: 1755 | Rika-chan Lol, it's not that big a deal ^_^; I'm not like some monolithic presence that only comes out once a year to address a select few . . . I watch my own site, and if you ask a question around here, I'll probably answer =) |
| Posted By: Anonymous Posted On: Mar 19, 2006 Views: 1842 | Rika-Chan Oh, and that's so funny and clever what those people did about Rika-Chan. Very clever. I'm crazy about anime but I have enough dignity not to lie about animes I haven't seen. Really, people. :P |
| Posted By: Anonymous Posted On: Mar 19, 2006 Views: 1837 | Rika-Chan Thank you so much for responding to my questions. Wow I am honored to have been personally addressed by Erin Ptah!!! Thanks! |
| Posted By: Erin Ptah Posted On: Mar 19, 2006 Views: 1842 | Re: Rika-chan In short: There is no such series as Pretty Combat Communist Rika-chan. A devious group of people, tired of hearing silly fangirl otaku trying to pass themselves off as experts, made up PCCR, invented a bunch of details (bad guys' names, plot twists, manga volumes, episode titles, origin, sidekick, gay bishounen, etcetera), and cosplayed these supposed characters at cons. And they actually had people telling them "Oh, of course I've seen PCCR! I know all about it!" And, yeah, Zorin's a vampire. Schrö is a catboy, Doc and the Major are unknown, but everyone else in Millennium is a vampire of some sort. |
| Posted By: Anonymous Posted On: Mar 16, 2006 Views: 1804 | Rika-Chan Oh, can someone also let me in on the Pretty Combat Communist Rika-chan joke? Thanks. *confused and confuzzled* |
| Posted By: Anonymous Posted On: Mar 16, 2006 Views: 1803 | Zorin I've seen Hellsing of course. :) I've got a question. In the manga, how was Zorin (the woman with all the tattoos) so strong? Was she a vampire? I'm confused. Thanks to anyone who answers! |
| Posted By: Zahmira Posted On: Mar 16, 2006 Views: 1781 | What I've seen Hellsing, Utena, BSSM, and WHR are what I've seen. I'll have to go get Victorian Romance Emma now. |
| Posted By: Inara Posted On: Mar 8, 2006 Views: 1943 | PCCR anime/manga Well, the PCCR anime and manga are *okay*, but to fully appreciate the series, you really have experience the interpretive dance ;) and does my vote for Hellsing count extra if I have some of Kouta Hirano's hentai works? |
| Posted By: StrangeSingaporean Posted On: Mar 8, 2006 Views: 1952 | PCCR? Whazzat? Um, I mean... Is it... a REAL manga/anime? I chose Hellsing, of course. And sadly, it's the only one in the group I've read/watched. But soon, I'll be able to watch Witch Hunter Robin when they finally screen it on television! |
| Posted By: Erin Ptah Posted On: Mar 7, 2006 Views: 1914 | On PCCR In short . . . yes, it's a joke =D Doesn't stop certain silly otaku at cons from going "Oh, of course I've heard of PCCR!" |
| Posted By: Itzcoatl Posted On: Mar 6, 2006 Views: 1704 | Hellsing, SM, WHR but my favorite is Utena Pretty Combat Communist Rika-chan ...WTF! is this a joke O.o |
