"Animae characteristically pushes certain themes and tropes to the fore – supernatural friends, martial mysticism, prepubescent superheroes, secret weapons, what colour the heroine’s knickers are."

Alas I must point out a glaring problem with this comment, as it is infact quite untrue. Like live action movies/series, anime has a huge depth and breadth of topic matter.
While your average joe only sees it as soft porn, theres a lot more out there than just that.

p.s. I fully expect to go to Transformers for some mindless relaxation, and to just enjoy myself with friends :)
Was definitely a Transformer fan back in my younger years, but go into it with no expectations. I do see our point of view with respects to the whole "ra ra" of it, but eh. It is just a movie about big toys.

I love how different each part of India is. If you move from even one village to the next you'll come across different practices and foods. And the clothes & jewellery! oh my.

p.s. please ignore what I think may have been the same comment that would have been emailed to you. Still getting my head around the way PA works.
