Hmmm...anime night. It was shoujo themed. Shoujo is my favorite.
First was Sailor Moon. Last two eps of the first season provided by yours truly. People were saying horrible things about my most favorite show, but I took it in stride. I guess they just can't appreciate a show like that. Bah, let them wallow in their ignorance....
Next was Card Captor Sakura. I'd only seen this dubbed before so it was nifty to see it subbed. They sure cut a lot out of the dub. I think I like it uncut much better. And Yukito is pretty. Very pretty. Someone should point that out to him.
Then we saw an ep of Utena. The one about the curry. Great ep, but not one I would use for people who had never seen the show before. Just because the personality switching joke only works when you ahve previous knowledge of the personalities in question. Still, great show.
Following that was something I had never seen before. Princess Tutu. I thought it was cute. Would have prefered to see more of it. However, I was outvoted on that.
And what was I outvoted for? Oh, I shall tell you. It was AWFUL!!!! Something called Purin Purin or something like that. Absolutely god awful. I hope I enver have to watch anything like that again. Completely nonsensical, borderline into softcore hentai, and not shoujo! You know, when it's shoujo night, you shouls usually show shoujo.
Now that I blame them. The people running it were kinda pushed into showing that one by the guy who brought it. But really, if no one else has heard of the series, you shouldn't show it until someone has viewed it. Cause that was BAD.
They also showed soemthing else after that, but I can't spell it so I won't say much. Other than it wasn't that interesting. Seemed like one of those shows where you ahve to watch all the eps to really enjoy it. Made me a little sleepy even.
After that I left. Partially cause I've got an essay to write, partially cause I was hungry, and partially because the guys in that room were so horribly misogenistic that I just didn't want to be in the same room with them.
The reason I like shoujo so much is because of the girl power. Have you ever taken a good look at american tv? Can you name any shows that target women? I bet you can count them all on one hand. And out of those, how many shows are about girls saving the world? Not many....
In japan they have a whole genre dedicated entirely towards girls. The girls are in charge and the girls are saving the world. I don't think many people in america are used to this concept. So people make fun of shoujo anime and make horrible comments about it.
So, I can't do anything about it. Can't change the way they think. So I removed myself from the situation. Don't need to deal with it.
Need to write my essays now. Only two more to go. I probably should have left anime night earlier.
