"Guilty Pleasures"? Jeez, give the freakin' manga/anime culture a bit of a break.

Gotta walk before we can crawl. Our next goal: get Sci-Fi Channel to stop basing its entire Ani-Monday advertising campaign on the premise that all anime fans are illiterate troglodytes who subsist on porn and violence.

A guilty pleasure is still a pleasure.

Plus it was a really good review. I'm happy with just that.

That's right. Most anime fans are semi-literate troglodytes who subsist on angst, porn and violence.

Can't these idiots get anything right?

Guilty pleasures, well... it's a step in the right direction to see Monster in Time.

I think I might buy this issue then. Just for a blurb on Monster? Yes.

I was thinking the same thing.

This article fills me with a strange sense of pride and joy that I can't quite explain. Perhaps I can convince my mother to give Monster a try now. I figure it's the best series to bridge the gap between our interests (she has that stereotypical view of anime being completely boobs and porn).

I was rather pleased when I picked this issue up the other day and stumbled across this piece. It's not every day that a manga series gets international praise from a Pulitzer winner, though Monster certainly deserves every word of it.
