Anime Report -- the Nature of Faery
Naruto just gets sillier. This is W's popcorn amusement -- the 5 minutes of new material each time drives me nuts. Lost track of the new Inuyasha episodes.
First disk of Princess Tutu completed. This is beautiful art, and strange storytelling. I'd love to be watching this with a child, to see what kids get from it. Only annoying thing is the current preference for having characters drop into really embarrassing behavior by flattening and rounding out with XXX eyes and screeching. I find it a short cut to get the gag, as opposed to "Dave the Barbarian" when the physical humor changes each time to reflect the actual situation.
This a a dark tale, and therefore closer to true fairytales than most.
So -- are fairytales the fantasy genre of hundreds of years ago? They mean one thing to children, and another to adults who are also listening, at end of day?
