(I am guilty of this too, so I am just stating a fun statement ok? not bashing anyone!)

Seriously though!! I know so many times I quote LOTS of anime characters..but how often do I quote scripture?

Or my favorite anime show is coming on tonight! I am so pumped!! but why aren't I as pumped about my quiet time with the Lord?

maybe if we got more defensive when people make fun of Christians rather than anime fans, we would see a change?



these are just things I think about sometimes...


I am so glad you brought this up. Sometimes, we just put so much importance on the things we like to do, but when it comes to the things of God, we're so apathetic that it makes me wonder if our behavior is really worth Christ's sacrifice.

The thing I wanted to point out the most was that we're so slow to defend ourselves as Christians that I'm not surprised that so many people make fun of us so often... Then, there's the disappointing fact that many of us don't even care about that. We're so absorbed in our own little worlds that we barely even fellowship like we so desperately need to... If only we would pull our heads out of the sand, put aside our differences, and come together under one banner, just think of the things we could do!

...anyway, I've gone off-topic for long enough... back to the action! Go!

If they were really going to go out and diss anime and animefandom the way some people think then why would they bother to:1)keep the AU board up so that people could discuss among other things the same interview on a forum board run by the same network that runs the show where the said interview was aired,
2)keep the rumors alive that AU was going to come back sooner or later alive and allow them to be posted on said same forum,3)keep an interest in anime in the first place?

I'm only a casual anime fan, so that didn't really strike me as offensive.

Actually, I agreed with it word for word.

Besides, an anime VA (Kyle Hebert) is a part-time writer for Attack of the Show, so I don't think it was meant to be offensive except to those who want to be offended.

Uh....yeah, he is.

This is the guy you are talking about, right? It's Hebert, not Herbert.

Oh so he's the voice of Kiba on Naruto.
Hmmm...I think there ought to be a rule that when we post the name of a VA that might not be too well known to everyone that we have to post at least a couple of the roles that they were in so that people would have a general idea without having to ask.

Contrary to what you may think, Kyle was one of the more popular FUNimation VAs until he moved to Los Angeles last year. He got four roles in DBZ. Nobody gets four roles in a single series unless they are mega-popular.

You guys do know g4 went through the recent pics at cosplay.com found some random girl that they thought was really geeky, got ahold of her called her about 3 or so times pestering her on the show. They made her wear her mink costume (when she has said many times she wanted to wear one from full moon wa something or rather) and then told her "Be hyper and scream a lot" then put the lights on her and gave her an earpeice not telling her what happened. Low on g4's part very low....
