And because some overambitious fanboy made Roger Ebert sit through
"Grave of the Fireflies", Ebert now makes US sit through it. >_<
Hence the annoyed anime-fan referring to grim, humorless and/or
pointlessly inscrutable Sony theatrical anime imports (with no remote
knowledge of any TV anime on DVD) as "the Ebert List".
Oh, the emergency-room spin-doctoring we *real* fans had to do after
"Paprika"...It was like "Metropolis", all over again. :/
Derek Janssen (and let's not even get into the "Persepolis is sorta like
anime 'cuz it's SERIOUS!" fans...At ALL.)
