Well, I survived my first all-anime convention,
Sakura Con, this weekend. It was great meeting
ix, emika, crackdog, evilminion, darkamber,
Kirins, Gary, and all the rest! And the CELS---MY
GOD---THE CELS!!!! :-o
Anyway, I saw lots of new (to me) anime, and
really took a liking to the humorous stuff
(Shinesman, Jubei Chan, Dragon Half, Captain
Tyler). But as I was watching Jubei Chan, a
question popped into my head that I've mentioned
here on the BBS before.
For those familiar with Jubei Chan, remember the
character "Satchi"? In the English dub, she is
referred to as "that expressionless girl". Now, I
took that at face value w/out any deeper meaning
(her expression never changed, she spoke in
monotone, she had NO sense of humor). But later
on, I realized she was also the only girl with
typical Asian features in the anime. Did anyone
else see this as a jab at the non-western look?
Did I miss such an obvious joke?
Is this totally OT???! ^_^
