]]> Comment on Grave Of The Fireflies makes me want to curl up in a corner and cry. by jim http://www.nerdculture.org/2007/10/10/grave-of-the-fireflies-makes-me-want-to-curl-up-in-a-corner-and-cry/#comment-3811 jim Wed, 07 May 2008 22:08:14 +0000 http://www.nerdculture.org/2007/10/10/grave-of-the-fireflies-makes-me-want-to-curl-up-in-a-corner-and-cry/#comment-3811 Something to remember...anime is being used to 'speak out' on political issues, especially to youth. There is a tendency to revise history also. War is what happens when politicians are willing to sacrifice the citizens of any country to achieve their own goals. What we have to remember is that the victor gets to write history, not the losers...those who die or are maimed. When you watch anime, especially war...don't forget the truths...some are saying that the Japanese were victims, were atomic bombed because they were an inferior race. I grew up in Japan, my mother is Japanese, retired military, historian and manga writer...the Japanese people let the govt take away their power, and paid the price. No, they didn't deserve to die as they did, but they did receive in kind. War reduces humanity to a level that animals don't resort to. Enjoy anime for what it is, but don't forget it is also entertainment. If you want to make it a tool to teach and learn from, then do it with facts, not emotion.

]]> Comment on Eyeshine - Some great mellow Alt Rock. by Amanda http://www.nerdculture.org/2007/09/25/eyeshine-some-great-mellow-alt-rock/#comment-2545 Amanda Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:43 +0000 http://www.nerdculture.org/2007/09/25/eyeshine-some-great-mellow-alt-rock/#comment-2545 ^_^ Eyeshine is an amazing band, and there music is great. Although Red Stripes / White Lights is their first real album, their EP How About That is great too, and it includes the original versions of Sunday Flower and Not Really Good, which are rerecorded on RS/WL. Unfortunately The EP is no longer available for sale, as they sold out. Eyeshine is a group who I think will be big soon enough ^_^ Eyeshine is an amazing band, and there music is great.
