Ohhhh, the 'net.
Hey everyone. I finally looked up YouTube...and was very, very impressed. There's a lot of crap there that you have to wade through, but I like the fact that I can find a lot of stuff for free. (I don't know about everyone here, but I'm a poverty stricken college student whose tuition is about to go up 31% and I don't have money for animes).
Question. I understand that the dub for Full Metal Alchemist is very good, but I can't seem to find it there? Anyone know where to look?
Also, I thought the people on the board might find this tidbit interesting. I was reading a magazine article, "Cute, Pretty, or Sexy," detailing the subcategories that typically make up "beauty." There was a sentence or two about the obsession with cuteness in Japan. As follows:
"The distinctions between cute, pretty, and sexy are, to some extent, culturally specific. In Japan, where it is not all that unusual for women well into their 20's and 30's to dress like two-year olds, with appliqued animals on their skirts and their hair worn in pigtails, cuteness-the Japanese word for 'cute' is 'kawaii'-is itself a kind of sexiness. (There exists in Japan a women's magazine called 'Cutie,' which explains how the reader might cutely accessorize herself and her life by, for example, sticking heart-shaped cutouts all over her toilet seat or covering her television set with furry fabric."
I could go into a long rant on exactly what I think that denotes about Japanese culture and popular art, but I'll save it for later. If anyone is interested in reading the full article, which mostly deals with American culture, it's Allure magazine's July 2006 issue, page 140.
