Do you believe what you read?
« on: November 04, 2007, 07:33:50 PM »
Anyone ever read manga and see ideals or thoughts that could be related in real life somehow and it change your opinion of the world etc etc?

Like reading Excel Saga and thinking of what Il Palazzo says is somewhat correct and makes me see how the world is run a little differently because I think on some ideas he is right.

Or how Shouji talks of the problems with the next stage of technology is not possible because of our reliance of premative forms of energy.

Does anyone else read ideas in manga about the real world and find it is really like that as well?

I've taken Lord Il Palazzo's ideals about the world to heart since the very first time I've read it and feel to this day that perhaps the world would be a lot better if it could be united under one rule.

That's what Hitler thought.

Hitler's ideals werent just that. He was also about the germans being the master race and wiping out all other people off the face of the earth as well.

Hitler had some good ideas... he just went about it the wrong way.

I don't know about the whole ONE BISHONEN TO RULE THEM ALL business, but I've always been something of a grumpy old man, so I can definitely understand where Il Palazzo is coming from. I remember that, back in the day when I was all tainted by the anime and wasn't sure I liked the Excel Saga manga, Il Palazzo going off on Christmas was one of the things that endeared me to him.

Heh, I'm surprised nobody's brouhgt the Death Note punks who think that Light ought to be God for reals.

I try not to take comics too seriously. Sadly, i have to admit that I found a good lesson in Family Guy of all things. "Thats a new low"`The character Brian told stewie that he needs to stop complaining about killing lois cuz all he does is whin about it and then goes about his life never accomplishing anything. And when i heard that i was shocked at how i too say imma gonna do something but never get to it. So now i do what i say i am gonna do... wow what a mouth full.
