Heathen Review #2: So Kawaii!

Heathen Review #2: So Kawaii!

Hello and welcome to another Heathen Review, where I take a look at media through the eyes of an amateur philosopher that sacrifices animals for funsies and will be burned in hell by a loving God for not kissing his ass. I'll get to the Book of Eli and possibly Don Jon soon...but for right now...

Oh dear.

Confusedhock:

I think we can all agree that Japan is a weird place.

Exhibit A:

That's the way, uh huh uh huh, Losty likes it, uh huh uh huh...

Exhibit B:

An emotionally stable individual in his natural habitat.

The upside of this, of course, is that Japan is very sexually liberated. Very often to a scary degree, but thankfully they don't have the obsession with controlling female libido that America does. These two forces combine to create odd situations. For instance, marriages are entered into more to gain instant respectability as unmarried women are deemed to not be not respectable, and yet it's not taboo for women who are married to cheat. That's why AshleyMadison, the famous adultery website, reports that Japan is one of its biggest markets with more than a million users, and fastest growing.

I'll get to all that (as well as Japan's bizarre fetishes) in the Philosophy Review in a moment. But first, let me tell you a tale of woe that begins, like so many others, with a bet made last Saturday between an anime loving friend and I. If he couldn't get through his pirated download of God's Not Dead without laughing, he would have to borrow and watch my Blu-ray copy of The Room that my girlfriend got me as a gift because we both love its awfulness. If I couldn't then he would lend me his copy of Upotte!!, which he picked up two years ago for $70 on eBay based on one of his other friend's hilarious recommendations. Guess who ended up nearly dying of laughter.

Devil

"Damn! I almost had Stealthy's soul! Curse you, atheist ninja!"

As per usual with all Blu-rays and DVDs that I watch, I'll be reviewing this disc on my Sony BDP-S3100 Blu-ray player, Spectre 32'' 720p display, and Coby two-channel stereo sound bar.

Conclusion


Luke: You don't believe in the Force, do you?

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.

I. LoVED. This review! Give me moar please!!!

(I'm debating with myself upon whether to check it out or not). My gut says lets.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Thanks, I'll have more as soon as I watch Book of Eli. Big Grin

I would definitely encourage you to check it out at least once. I probably will watch it again before I return the disc to my friend lol.

So you just posted a thread to reviews and see the philosophical meaning of Upotte!!?
[Image: whaaat1-onion-head-emoticon.gif]
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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...riage.html

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.
http://myanimelist.net/anime/12317/Upotte!!/reviews

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. Smile

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 ROFLOL funny, but funny as in weird, off the wall, and good for several chuckles per episode.

So there you have it.

You can use my arm. :3 I'm sure others would like that too. Just put my arm back on when you're done. Tongue
