The fucking Cars!

I wish I had a very small car that looked like a budgerigar.  Well, my favourite cars are pretty small, what do you think? Essentially, turning a city car into a parade float still is more relevant than we thought. 

The Shōnen Jump meme worthy implications of Tarzan

Now, if anyone can remember watching Disney’s Tarzan this frequently? If so, remember that the Johnny Weissmuller movies were much further from the sources (except the canon elements) than even the Disney films and tv show. That’s why the Disney version has become the most accessible and successful depiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan brand in recent years, admittedly still loose but great enough not to offend most of the staunchest relative purists, who have forgiven the Disney version for that reason.  The same might not be said for the canonists, since they frankly do not publicly tolerate anything that’s not canon, which is perhaps why they still basically revise the frick out of canon Tarzan in order to keep the soul frying fanservice as the only intact point of the story, partly thanks to the Shōnen Jump meme worthy implications of the ERB Universe Tarzan being an orc-like destroyer of both humans and nonhumans alike.

Why do we?

Isn’t it interesting when you’ve been looking for a ton of anime terminologies that deserve to get attention? There are so many Pers-Kun movement terminologies that deserve international recognition mainly because it’s actually pretty hard to document such terminologies.  Obari Pers-Kuns  Obarism: The highly similar approaches that Masami Obari and his friend Yousuke Kabashima amongst the Obarians animate very complex yet still readable things that go side by side. 

I think we have to understand that

It’s now become clear that the original jungle books of Rudyard Kipling are for almost everyone but babies, mainly thanks to the Disney Jungle Book franchise.  It shall be noted that nobody can fully capture the Jungle Books of Rudyard Kipling even in comic book form. However, it’s easier to understand that the Jungle Books are much undoubtedly like Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind, if rather more values dissonant since Rudyard Kipling would rather have been a much more certainly fucked up person than even Hayao Miyazaki.
