Seriously? Not Neon Genesis Evangelion not Ranma but not any other more interesting animus but instead Upotte? Because I don't see the big deal. Nor I think this is gonna change anything in Japan.

Besides I dunno aren't there other more adequate forums to discuss this because if I wanted to see a review of Uppotte I would:
Like a review from the commoner entertainment value.
And from either an Anime or Media Forum.
You know something like this.

Because this is a atheist forum. It's not the kind of stuff I wanted nor was interested to see when I joined here.
But okay pot this and more others if you want. Although as a anime watcher I must tell you that I won't read this because I don't see the point.
If you don't feel that there is a point to reading this review, then that's fine by me.
I did also join AtheistForums primarily to discuss religion, but when I saw a Media section and a Technology section and a Humor section I thought I could talk about media and technology, and play spam games respectively.
The other point I want to make is that just because something is very shallow as a piece of entertainment does not mean that one cannot commentate upon the themes or meanings it is trying to convey. Who knows, maybe one day I MIGHT watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, but maybe not. Until that day, I am pretty much a neophyte when it comes to anime. My experience watching this particular anime left an impression on me, simply because there's a lot of ideas within it influenced by Japanese culture and notions surrounding sexuality and guns that conflict with typical Western notions surrounding things. I also thought it was funny.
Maybe not funny, but funny as in weird, off the wall, and good for several chuckles per episode.
So there you have it.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
