Thanks to my recent enlightenment on Kaiba and some inspiration from the great coverage it’s getting from the blogosphere, I finally decided to hop on the Kaiba-ndwagon~ :3 Lengthy introduction ahead! Kaiba easily stood out among the Spring animes for the simplicity and uniqueness of its visuals, and utter complexity of its storyline. This served as an open invitation for the audience to swim through its depths, with some people ending up with a moment of epiphany, and some disgruntled ones who drowned in despair, unable to grasp the seemingly incoherent ideas in the show as well as the hype behind it.　There’s also a bunch of pretentious ones who convinced themselves to have understood the show even if they didn’t, the category which I belonged to weeks before I wrote this post. It’s not that only a privileged few can understand Kaiba; everyone can actually, so long as they’re willing enough to plunge into this world and explore it to its very depths, and become one of the enlightened ones.

A short while later an old woman finds Kaiba/Hippo [...]

You know, I’m not even going to talk about Code Geass and Pizza Hut. Well other than I think the slogan, “This Revolution is brought to you by Pizza Hut!” is really funny. But anyways, itsabun and later Hige mentioned how Kaiba depicts a fairly Marxist ideal of what a capitalist society is. And I have to [...]
