Anime in class

Laputa is indeed very good. Nausicaa comes in just under it. Totoro was ok, but a bit childish. But that was the target, so it's cool. Just got Pocro Roso, so I'll be watching that soon.

Wouldn't mind seeing Read or Die in school. Kind of fits.

Oh, atomic-x, good luck with your class. If any otaku tires any thing on you OWN him/her!

Man, shut up. the US isn't getting any special treatment over anime compared to Canada. This is most likely a rare event, and I highly doubt you can go to any school in the states and watch anime.

Also, 88% of the population doesn't think anime is porn. It is most likey that a lot of people have no clue what anime is. The same goes for the States, too.

I once persuaded my Film Studies (one lesson a week General Studies thing, not important) to show something, but due to the length of the period we only had time to show Blood: the Last Vampire. *Definitely* not my first choice.

I looove Spirited Away. My favourite anime film.

Well, around here, if you take Japanese, you get to watch anime in school.

well who pissed in your coffe/tea this morning ... yea i know that this is a pretty rare event, but still, dwchang apparantly had several rare events occur while he was in school, plus his english teacher was really cool and did all kinds of amazing books. At my school we did shit all ... it wan't till grade 11 that we started getting good stuff to do with the class.

Again, *I* didn't get to watch Eva in my Sophmore English class. My younger friend did after I showed it to him (and in turn to his teacher)....unless you are referring to my Japanese class where we watched anime. I don't think that's that special since most of it we watched raw and was for well...learning.

I have YET to see any sort of cartoon shown in my school! If I could get one of my teachers to show it, then I'd be VERY amazed... Maybe Akira in my Psych class next year? I wanna show Hellsing to some religious kids and watch them SCREAM!!! I'M EVIL!!!

Also, I'd also like to see a jap class at my school (we have Japanese ecxhange students, but I've never met them...) and if we did, I'd take it all the time AND be a TA for the class, LoL...

Anime + My school = not so good things...

... still ... better then my experiences ... the head of the science department decided to watch ren and stimpy's christmas special the day before christmass holiday's when i was in grade 9 ... thats the closest i've come ...

However in my friends english class this year they watched Akira ... and he was bitching about how he didn't want to see it dubbed ... i have a feeling it was the old dub any ways ... so i don't blame him. This was the guy who told me and another friend of mine about Evangelion, great guy, very solid stance about the antidub issue ... you'd like him dwchang, plus he's really into psychological/philosophical books/animes, he also like the whole questioning of self-existance, he manages to grasp that very well, while i have to struggle to understand whats going on.

One time in Junior HS English, we watched a short 5 minute short from the Simpsons where Lisa reads Edgar Allen Poe's the Raven (was a Halloween Special I believe).
