I'm kinda envious, it'd be so cool to spend a few weeks living like that. Dude, if you really like natural bodies of water, nature and countryside, you gotta visit my place some time ;P Whoa, looks really nice.

I don't think it was life-changing, but seeing how other lives are so different and yet so similar was quite a realization. Also, they know their ways pretty damn well indeed: climbing their farm on top of the mountain was an extremely difficult thing to do. Without any harnesses, we had to balance ourselves as we assented up the cliff. It wasn't easy, and I fell on my face two times. I didn't want to protract the post I wrote, but really, it wasn't easy. We also had to walk for about 20 kilometers or so: from 10 in the morning to about 4 in the afternoon only an hour was spent eating. The rest of the time was spent for walking, and walking in water, sand, stone, and grasses was also pretty difficult. It reminded me of how much the life we live today is a cinch compared to the lives of other people. It was a great reminder. Baka-Raptor: Civilization really kicks ass. Also, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :D Miha: Thank you. :) Ryan:

]]> Comment on [Code Geass R2] Another nail in Lelouch’s coffin by Geassfan101 http://animeotaku.animeblogger.net/2008/10/code-geass-r2-another-nail-in-lelouchs-coffin/#comment-97868 Geassfan101 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:44:05 +0000 http://animeotaku.animeblogger.net/?p=391#comment-97868 I completely agree with what Lulu dead ppl hater said, all the most popular animes in Japan (such as Naruto, Bleach, FMA, and of course Geass) is popular not only because of the storyline but the execution of the storyline. For those who watch Naruto/Naruto Shippuden, do you recall the amazing animation between Naruto's battle with Sasuke and Shikamaru's battle with Hidan? That's exactly what makes them so popular and likewise Code Geass had many great animation scenes (especially towards the end of R2) and that's what earned the series it's popularity. Well, I wouldn't really judge an anime by the author's words because as Lulu dead ppl haters and I mentioned earlier, animes are not judged only by storylines but the animation and execution of the storyline, but mangas on the other hand are related to storylines and therefore the author would have more credibility in that aspect. So in this case, we shouldn't just rely on Okouchi's words alone because he is only part of the reason why the anime succeded but we should also consider Sunrise's opinion as well (although it's obvious that they believe that Lelouch is alive) because they are the ones who excecuted the anime and if a company such as 4Kids (or whichever company makes the pokemon anime) executes the Code Geass storyline, we would all know it would be a disaster so in that aspect we should also respect Sunrise's opinions as well. Besides, in the Tanguchi (the co writer) interview, he mentioned that the ending is open for interpretation so if you are the type to only rely on the author's words you have to decide which one to believe, Tanguchi or Okouchi.

Living in the mountains with indigenous people. I don't care what part of the world they're in, indigenous people know the ways pretty damn well.... makes me remember, that living in nature allows us to understand when and when not to trust it... when we forget, we are vulnerable. ^^ DIAL! haha, but seriously, I bet that was an experience.

What I mean like this is that we're invited to view people (at least the characters in the show) through his eyes. He's decidedly non-judgmental, and is more concerned about authenticity than right or proper behavior.
