  But with the increasing interest, a plan is being considered to make them more vivid again.

  “There is a feeling that the exhibits became too clean,” said museum official Shoji Oseto.

  How altruistic. All in the name of peace, yes?

  I think a lot of the charm has been lost as anime caters to the horny otaku set rather than trying to appeal to broader audiences. A lot of the characters are characters we've seen before a million times and the plots are highly unoriginal.

  I agree: when I was a kid it was cool cars transforming into awesome robots. Now I don't WTF it is.

  I wouldn't shed a tear if anime dried up. Maybe more people would return to normal (i.e. we wouldn't have girls referring to themselves as "ore" anymore)

  Japan’s public servants show a similar lack of initiative. In recent years, the number of applicants to take examinations, required to move up the promotion ladder, are reported to have declined sharply. Many prefer to put emphasis on personal activities or spending more time with their families.

  The article makes this sound like a negative thing

  50-odd posts later and my point has been proven, hahaha

  Pot isn't addictive.

  So then every single pot smoker right now can quit cold-turkey, right? End of problem!

  It's ironic that at a time when people are griping about smoking tobacco they're proposing to legalise smoking marijuana. Hypocrisy anyone?

  I'm too lazy to look it up, and I'm not a pot smoker myself, but I believe there is scientific proof that marijuana is actually less dangerous than regular smoking. It doesn't contain carcinogens or most of the horrible chemicals found in cigarettes (like sulfur, formaldehyde, etc.)

  The hypocrisy is so many people saying "don't use drugs" when in fact they do behind the scenes.

  I suppose it's the old "It is herbal therefore it is good for you" illogic.

  In my experience, pot smokers are just as tenacious and utterly annoying as religious fanatics: they will go on and on ad inifinitum about how wonderful it all is and how people who say it isn't are wrong/evil/full of crap, etc etc.
