At least she has clothes in this one...
As you’re probably already aware, I’m blogging my way through Northrop Frye’s Anatomy of Criticism. I already had an idea for an actual anime post, and I’ve only read the introduction. Even though this was inspired by Frye, I probably won’t reference him too much. Really, this is just my obligatory Kannagi post. Everyone’s doing one, and who am I to argue with the crowd? Well, I do it all the time, but never mind that now.
I have to admit, this one’s a little ridiculous, even for us. Ghostlightning, lelangir, Cuchlann, and I all somehow ended up in a chat a scant few hours ago. Initially, the topic was Kannagi, but, when matters of disparate theory arose, things got a little crazy. The title is apt; in fact, what you’ll see after the break is no less than 11,001 words of our discourse and debate. Is it worth reading? Absolutely.
It’s a good thing the concept of tl;dr doesn’t exist on Super Fanicom.
At IKnight’s request, and because I couldn’t think of anything other than a post about the new Lucky Star OVA (which wasn’t serving much of a purpose), I’m going to take a stab at illuminating my theory of criticism, here, in front of the fives of you who read my posts. We’ll, uh, we’ll see how this goes.
