MiB chick has this to say in regards to the animated series:
"Western cartoons are falling on the battlefield to the Far Eastern "animes." Fight the good fight to keep Western culture cartoons on the airwaves!!"

Thank you for sharing that little bit of ugliness with the world.

Nobody tell her MiB is the property of Sony, okay?

You might want to keep the origin of Sony from her...she may be thinking it's a US-originated company...after all, it rhymes with "pony" and that's a good English word.

Wait. I mean, American English. Yeah.

Should I tell her that my own anime dream-girl A-ko's backstory declares her the offspring of Superman and Wonder Woman, or would that make her poor vacant skull explode?

*Debates trying to blame it on knights at Renaissance Faire, realizes she's hardly SEEN them so far, gives it up. Sticks with the innocent look*

Ooh! Maybe it was all the horses in the circus parade? They've had nearly 800 of them some years. I think there were prolly fewer this year, as there were fewer folks riding next to the hitches and more on foot. But still...hundreds and hundreds.

You could get your Boys a bodice! Like we wear at Faire! The people there talk to their boys, too. But they're nice and happy with a well-fit bodice. Or so I keep hearing.

Yeah. Somebody kinda completely missed the point of her favorite franchise.

I hear this sort of thing very rarely, but I do hear it - e.g., a cranky toy collector worrying that stuff like Gundam and Pokemon are displacing 'American' memes (GI Joe and X-Men, apparently) in our nation's youth. Thank you for being an asshole. Move along.

I like Neil Gaiman. Therefore, I am starting a campaign to fight the good fight to keep books and comics by white men on the bookstore shelves.

Seriously though, I love the Japanese attitude towards animation. There's so much more freedom to tell different kinds of stories.

Okay can we do some research before we head into Bitch mode?

MIB is base owned by Columbia and Sony.

MIB The Animated Series is from Adelaide Productions and thus classified under being a Western Animation.

okaayyy newbie--- goodnight.

LOL you wish.

Please get into more than the base company when thinking of ownerships puhleeze. Basically MIB is from an American. Dear gods, an american! His name is Lowell Cunningham. Sony just works with Columbia Pictures to make the film. Adelaide makes the cartoon.

Have a nice day, Newbie.

Nono, you're mistaking Mockery Mode for Bitch Mode.
And if you feel a pressing need to turn your love for a fine animated series into something that borders dangerously on racism, who am I to stand in your way?

Newbie. Yes. Lovely. Carry on.

I wish I better understood the cultural synergy that allowed comics and animation to fluorish there while here they were viewed as third-class for so long. So many factors - the different business models for comics in the two countries, the heavy American censorship of children's programming beginning in the early 70s (and its evil twin, the perception that all animation is aimed at children), the Disney downturn and its effect on the entire industry... It makes one of those moving, paisley-shaped diagrams in my head, and it kind of hurts.

::spends too long trying to think of what those paisley things are called::

Mandelbrot...thingies! That's it!

Maybe one of those pressboard Fisher-Price sniffy pull beagles?

We all know you are INSANELY jealous of that Delia girl. Hey, I would be too if I was a MIB fan. Her web page is actually decent unlike yours, and wow-- she actually looks the cartoon version of the woman agent.

Get over it, nerd. You're jealous of the kid.
