-rubs eyes- YGO culture kills me...
The more I learn in cultural studies... the more I find out about Japanese history... the less I actually watch YGO... the more constructed the show gets.
HOW CAN A SHOW ABOUT CARD GAMES BE SO CULTURALLY RELEVANT, I WANT TO KNOW.
-falls over snickering- I mean... Japanese anti-militarism. How can I possibly relate that to that scene in Doma where the American military pretty much bows down to Yami and Kaiba? It was such a pointless throwaway scene and here I am reading about the Japanese defeat in WWII, and all I can think is "wow. That scene actually had a point... propaganda! Mwuahahaha!"
...I don't know whether I amuse or depress myself...
