Tsubasa Chronicles

I decided to stop downloading Tsubasa Chronicles. I gave it a chance but 4 eps are as much of this anime as I can bear. My reasons?

a) I hate the animation style. Hate it, hate it, hate it to pieces. I don't even like the way the main charas are drawn. I mean Kurogane? >.< That speaks for itself.

b) I hate the seiyuus. Their voices are totally emotionless and it hurts my ears. And that little weird creature's voice? Yuck! Obviously, they didn't save money only in the animation department but here too. Where are Inoue Kazuhiko or Ishida Akira when one needs them?

c) I hate the plot. It's slow and it's boring. No character development whatsover, the "action scenes" are embarrassingly silly and I don't care at all for what will happen to any of them. If they imploded in this very moment, I would cheer that there is SOMETHING finally happening. Not even Touya and Yukito can save this series.

I'm happy to have the first ep with Touya as the King and Yukito as the High Priest. Nice setting for some great yaoi fics. But that's all.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

And what? A certain person posted this on the TSStoryfinders ML:

| A story with less unacknowledged racism than in "Walking with Dark
| Angels" would also be fabulous. Stewart refers to Naomi as a "jewess"
| and Blair has "the beautiful hue of skin, that rich honey gold only
| mulattoes seemed able to achieve."
|
| Who knew the hue of my skin was trademarked?

WHAT THE FUCK!?!

And my immediate response on-list?

| Lurker here, but this one just tickled me wrong! Are you calling CD Stewart a racist? Openly? Here
| in this list?
|
| I don't see anything racistic in it. What? That mulattoes have a wonderful hue of skin? I think it's
| a compliment. If she had said "that rich honey gold only the Italians seemed able to achieve" then
| it would okay?
|
| And jewess? Would you like to read the correct dictionnary meaning?
|
| jewess: a woman of Hebrew birth, as Eunice, the mother of Timothy (Acts 16:1; 2 Tim.1:5), and
| Drusilla (Acts 24:24), wife of Felix, and daughter of Herod Agrippa I.
|
| Or are you calling the www.dictionnary.com site racistic too?
|
| I live in a land that went through horrible, horrible persecutions in the past. Racism, fascism,
| communism. Pick what you want, we went through it. So I really HATE! it when people are saying such
| things where they are NOT appropriate!
|
| Nitpicking, aren't we?
