Katsuhiro Otomo — Building a Destroyed Future

July 24, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

In March of 1933, poet Paul Valéry came to the defense of his own work by saying “Aux yeux de ces amateurs d’inquiétude et de perfection, un ouvrage n’est jamais achevé — mot qui pour eux n’a aucun sens — mais abandonné.”

Meaning “In the eyes of those who anxiously seek perfection, a work is never truly completed—a word that for them has no sense—but abandoned.”  The phrase was repeated only months later by a different French publication who distilled it down to only the parts in bold.

What the Hell is Anime? Part 4 – Fullmetal Alchemist, The Promised Neverland, and Orphans

June 20, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of the nuclear family. Our finest television preachers and our sweatiest politicians spent decades warning us that we were headed this way. They decried music, drugs, and dancing, and we eradicated those things. But what they could not have known was that the true destruction of the familial unit was magic. Our children have turned to godless magic and now all is lost.

So today, brothers and sisters, we gather here to witness the fourth installment in What the Hell is Anime, and we examine where it all went wrong. Families up front, let your feet stomp to the spirituals.

What the Hell is Anime? Part 3: The Seven Deadly Sins, Death Note, and Product Placement.

May 21, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

(What the Hell is Anime? Is a recurring series which no one has yet put a stop to. It takes a look at the beautiful weirdness of manga, anime, and the surrounding culture and packages it up in what we’re calling “satir-ucation.” Which is all to say that this is both well-meaning and entirely John’s fault.)

Hello students, please come in and take a seat anywhere.

As you can see on the chalkboard this is WtHiA-103 and as ever I, your substitute teacher and literary rapscallion John Galati, will be attempting to learn you about Anime. What it is. Where it comes from. How we can stop it. Open up your books to Chapter 30, “Folklore – All of It, All at Once.” Read aloud at your own pace. [Read more…] about What the Hell is Anime?
