Hah..."original ninja animes"....when will they learn? But seriously, what's Nina's e-mail? I want to ask her if she wants to split a room at AX with me and my roommates.

Being a writer myself, I have to kind of wonder about the whole concept of "fan fiction." If you manage to write something that's truly epic, you're still leeching off of someone else's work, so what was the point of all that effort.

I think ZAC's idea about 5 gay teenager and the elemental magic powered robot was way better than this crap.
look at answerman/2008-04-04

I highly doubt there's a such thing as an unwanted harem in Kevin's eyes. It'd take some creative magic to make it unwanted. |

If nothing else, it's probably just fun for most people. |

Now that would be interesting, but not as interesting as this week, last week and the week before that comic strip. I really liked this week's comic, the parody of Answerman was excellent. Also, since when did Anime News Network have customers? I know we can donate, but since there aren't any actual products, I fail to see how people can call us customers. That would be saying Pinnaples aren't yellow. Anyway, great comic Robin, I look forward to next week. I must say this however, your comics are steedly becoming more interesting, fantastic work. Soon some of your recent comics may be even more humorious than the Valintine comic. |

Looks like I came a bit too late. Oh well, it's not as if what I'm going to say would've made much of a difference, but here it goes anyways:
Nothing is original. Every single series we've read, show we've watched, everything that we know has been done before in one form or another. In the end it all boils down to one a story that was told long ago. The point isn't the "originality"...it's the delivery of the story. So a kid wants to make an anime about ninjas with element powers. Okay...good for him. He shouldn't be utterly dismantled because of it's "unoriginality". What I find the most interesting about the comments people are posting is that many of you are anime fans. Look at Rahxephon, now look at Evangelion. Hm? So many similarities I lost count at episode 2. And yet, each series is entertaining and memorable in their own way. In any case, while it's true their series would most likely never be made, no need to be so harsh on kids who are just replicating what they see: the same series being redone with smoother animation, slightly different characters and maybe a better soundtrack. |

For the second week in a row, you made me lol (honestly!). Thanks for the much-needed laugh.

We burn down the dreams of children at our own risk. No human has ever come up with a story that was profound from the very first moment it was conceived. At some point every great work started out as sheer enthusiasm and little else. It's how you decide to act on it that makes all the difference.
I know that's a little extreme, but when people tell kids their dreams are impossible it makes me a bit angry. In the case of making an anime, very, very, very, hard, yes, but never, ever impossible. But either way the comic always brightens my day

I find it interesting that so many have commented or were offended that the comic was bashing kids with idealistic dreams. Did no one notice that Nina defended the kid? ^^

Just a random thought: How long until somebody shows up at a convention cosplaying as Nina?
And yes, I did notice that Nina defended the young dreamer. Good for her. - abunai |

Funny, I was looking at a few comics in the archives, and I saw the one where Nina encountered the cosplayers, and the same thought came to me. |
