Posted by T.C. on 01.09.2008, 07:17 PM: well there you go, that is why i might see it as fanservice.. becuase it is intended to draw in viewers and has succeeded in doing that (in at least your case) by including what is essentially unneccasry violence. Im sure they could have cut down on the amount of limb severing and body slicing without change to the plot, but then an audience with similar tastes to yourself may not find it appealing.

Posted by Nakamatsu on 01.11.2008, 08:49 PM: If I may, I'd like to respond to one of the discussions that took place earlier in this thread. I am currently studying abroad in the West, but I am a native Japanese and I lived there for most of my life. I will say that Theowne and Roarkiller's assesment of our society's views on anime and anime fans are 100% correct. Theowne mentioned a very good point that a few anime, Ghibli films, Sazae-san, etc, are well engraved in the public consciousness but most others are obscure and consumed mostly by otakus who are stuck in their own weird subculture. A person like me is very rare, not an otaku but who enjoys many anime. And that separation is very unique about the anime culture and perhaps a bit silly. To the Japanese, anime means Totoro, Spirited Away, and etc. The classics. Or the popular kids titles like Naruto. Mention Saikano and you get blank looks. Practically 98% of the industry is invisible to most of society and the remaining 2 % is known by everyone. But the otakus feed the demand for it and it's a big business.
