Anime & Bollywood?!!! *the fk!

June 1, 2009

So what do Japanese Animation and Bollywood have in common?

 Last week I realized something strange. I actually knew it forever but never really contemplated on it –like un-questionably everything else in my life.

 Probably it’s what most of Asian cultures have in common and what western society can not pull off. Now don’t go falling off chairs. Everyone probably has nuclear weapons (my neighbor-kid is actually building something in his yard I am fearing might blow up one of these days) and stuff but that’s not what I’ll try to point out today.

 I am talking about having utterly moronic dialogues with the most awesome combination of cursing words incorporated in them. If you don’t know what Anime (Japanese Animation) is, I’ll tell you right here without having any right: you suck ass… heavy ass… big, big, deep ass.

 But that’s okay. Imagine Bumblebee telling Optimus to shut his *god damn* trap and go mind his own *god damn* business ‘cause he doesn’t care about some *god damn* Decepticon douche bag. No? You’re right. I can not either. I mean, I can… but it doesn’t feel right. Even if the cursing was used… it would look so impossibly stupid. Stupid as in Sonny Corleone taking anger-management classes while maintaining his crown of most shot-up movie character. It simply is not the way it was meant to be.

 But this Bollywood can pull it off. Behave like morons for at least two hours. And get away with it. Hell, I my god-damn self, think it’s funny.

 The accents, the cursing, the hand gestures, the “being-mad-as-hell-but-never-really-meaning-it” is gorgeous. Chi-Chi beating the living daylights out of Goku and wishing each other gruesome death and horrors no one could ever imagine with a bit of Bollywood-bravado is so beautiful.

 Now try to put this all versus a German guy, telling his baby he loves the shit out of it, and to me it still sounds as if I am hearing a Nazi general ranting to the Wehrmacht.

 Ja? Nein? Danke.
