The Tome of Grass

[ru]

Did I say over nine hundred? I lied. I meant over one thousand.

I'm reminded of a scene from Akira, which, by the way, I should probably see. If nothing else, I've heard that the animation is very good. But anyway, I have seen this one scene from it, where one of the characters is transforming into this huge, monstrous blob thing with weird flesh-blobs coming out every which-way and is growing to insane proportions.

That's what this thesis makes me think of.

I personally didn't really like or understand Akira, which I think makes me some sort of anime heretic (which I already was based on my belief that there IS no Haruhi, and in fact her entire story was simply based off a distorted retelling of an old light novel, which annoys the heck out of those who try the same argument with MY God...).

Have you considered your thesis might be sampling some of your grass? If so, I wouldn't let it, as it's way too young to be trying that.

Well, one thing to keep in mind about Akira, the anime, is that it's a set of five large graphic novels compressed into about two hours. For technical details, and perhaps even soundtrack, it's a very good anime. Storywise, er, not so much.

Will and I once drank four liters of Coke before watching Akira. After that, the movie made sense (or so we have said) but so would most anything after having ingested that much sugar and caffeine as high school students.

I believe it. A similar effect is achieved if you watch End of Eva really really late at night. Suddenly it all makes sense!
