Hey, Santaman! [2006-12-08]

Ken Akamatsu stepped in and told Xebec that they were all a bunch of screwups when he saw the original Negima TV series

If i remember correctly the Creator of Full Metal Panic, works very closely with Kyoto Animation, to the point where he's even helped out with other animes.

How about Trinity Blood for the atheist relative/friend for a future Gfts for people you Hate column/section?

You know, it occurs to me that good old classic American cartoons were riddled with senseless violence. How many times was Daffy Duck's beak shot off again? And Tom must have plenty more than 9 lives...

As for the fate of the license in America, 4Kids will likely sit on the license until it expires. I think some people are under the impression that 4Kids ceasing production on the dub somehow means now we'll get uncut subtitled boxsets with 50 episodes included in each for $10 from Funimation or something but that isn't the case at all; the show didn't catch on here, and neither did the videogames, so after this I'm not sure if any company - especially in a few years when the license runs out and the heat is completely gone from the show - will want to invest in a 300+ episode expensive juggernaut of a series that already proved it has limited appeal in the American market.

Conservative Uncle- Sukisho, but tell him the pink haired guy is a woman. Let him figure it out on his own.

Most people my age say that Halloween is their favorite holiday, because you're in your 20's and it's cool to say you like Halloween the most because you dress up and get drunk.

In the end, I believe effective parenting comes through your actions. Whatever your values are, the way you act is what will establish those values in your child's life - whether your idea is let that child grow entirely free from parental restraint (after all, by showing your child freedom, you are still establishing your belief system) or by setting strong rules and boundaries, or anything in between. The rest is up to your child and his/her experiences.

I love seeing all these "if I were a parent I'd do this, or I'd do that". Everyone's a "perfect parent" until they actually become one. Also these "It's the parents fault for not keeping track of what their children are watching." You mean like your parents who probably don't know that you are illegally downloading H-fansubs that has given you such an indepth knowledge of such titles, on the PC, or laptop attached to the internet that they spent big bucks to give you?

This vindicates my reluctance to let my 14-year-old have his own laptop in his room. Thanks guy's, for releaving me of the guilt, and showing me that I am afterall a "good parent", though my son has some rather choice descriptions of you that he learned in the school playground.

Also, would it be possible for people to keep in mind that Christians aren't the only religious people with members that want to censor things? I'm a Christian and I'm very much against censorship. Occasionally it makes me feel uncomfortable and more than a little sad that there are people on this forum who immediately bash Christians whenever a discussion of censorship comes up.

While there are certainly some Christian groups that want to censor things and that act like complete idiots, please try to remember that they don't represent the bulk of Christians. Also, try to remember that there are Christians on this board who are staunch free-speech advocates.

Thank you.
