Well, let's see how one series "stacks up" (pun intended).

Hi! Thought it was kinda slow tonight so...


A Nitpicker's Guide to Anime


1. All shows must be about martial artists. Or giant robots. Or nudity. Or
relationship trouble. Although there are some exceptions to this.

    Project A-ko has all of that.

2. All elderly people must be perverts or crazy. In some cases, both.

    HTD is crazy, but there are no elderly perverts.

3. Every show *must* have a pervert. 

    B-ko feels herself up while thinking about another girl.

4. All elderly masters are *really* perverted and/or crazy

    Nobody over 20 is given the slightest respect here, so there is no
elderly master.

5. You just can't imitate Japanimation in any country *other* than Japan.
It's got to do with magnetic fields and average fat content and is really
quite complicated. 

    Well, they did import the music makers for the first movie from
abroad.

6. .Evil demons are liquid beings and have a tendancy to flow in and out
of bodies. 

    No demons in this series. (Unless Ayumi was possessed)

7. Old people. Crazy or perverts. Got it?

    Basically, they are all crazy.

8. Extras are stupid, gossip to[o] much, or are dog food.

    Yeah.

What!?!? Did you think this was Star Trek or something?

    Well, it's better than "The Next Degeneration" or "V'ger, ST: Lost
In Space".

    Project A-ko has the "Lake Wobegone Effect".  If you'll look in the
RPG, you'll see that all the men are good looking (A-ko is topped by
several of the guys), all the women are strong (The best fighters are
female) and all the kids are above average. (Except for C-ko)
