    Oh, well, I don't like anime either. Some weeaboo I am.

    I only wake early to get ready for fun trips.

    No boring ones.

    Chatting with strangers over little things, i.e., you see them playing chess if you play chess, if they're wearing something cool, reading a book you like in public, etc.?

    It's actually the only anime I've ever seen. It's used to be on twice a day in Taipei, once In Japanese and once on Chinese. I watched the Chinese dub to try to work on my listening skills. I hated the English-language dub, though. Inu Yasha sounded like a pissed-off surfer dude. He was more detached (though still basically an angry Middle School student) in the Asian versions.

    And damned right, cheese Danishes.

    Westerns?

    No, I'm afraid not. Greek or Roman poets?

    I think only you, of the people on the games threads, have read the originals.

    But I've enjoyed a number of translations of Sappho, and a small collection of Pindar and some other Hellenes was nice too. So aye, and don't laugh.

    Hayao Miyazaki?

    Oh I'm not laughing. I'm sure you've read Ovid, too.

    Like I said, the only anime I've seen (he did anime, right?) is Inu Yasha, and that just for language practice with the dub.

    If you were teaching about Sappho to Middle School students, would you mention that she was gay?

    Absolutely. Princess Mononoke is still my favorite anime film (though I haven't seen Howl's Moving Castle or anything after it yet). I remember Nausicaa being a terrific manga as well.

    Lone Wolf & Cub? (Manga, films, TV series, any or all)

    Yes Miyazaki headed an animation studio. He's very very good, actually.

    I haven't read Ovid

    Yes, why not?

    don't know what Lone Wolf and Cub are, so I'll pass that question on.

    Why not = parents

    But no frowns about Ovid. Like me with Genji, it is a beautiful sea that awaits.

    I'm afraid I don't know anime at all, Calidore, so which do you suggest?

    Defy the system, man!

    Good point. Ovid is on my list of course; just about 100,000 pages away...

    Acting silly? Really silly?
