So in watching anime there's occasionally moments when a beautifully animated character walks on screen and a brief panning sequence is used to drink in the character's appearance and then one dumb bastard in the room might say something to the television screen, like "Hey baby, that crown looks heavy. Can I hold it up by your boobs?" or something equally idiotic.
For the record, I'm usually THAT bastard.
Pleasure to meet you.
And I should also note that at least 40% of the time in anime that "hot lady" is not a lady and so it was with my first taste of the Heroic Legend of Arislan.
Oops.
And here people wonder why I stopped drinking...
As a child of the 80's I was on the receiving end of a deluge of of marketing, one particular niche of this deluge being Japanese animation. This is a niche that haunted the very core of my being and shaped my appreciation of animation as an art form with it's style, stories and distinctive application of drama, action and comedy. Allow me to entertain you as I bloviate, babble, and rant regarding aspects of anime today and titles I would strongly recommend or prescribe caution towards.
