10 pages of I.S. done tonight. I feel pretty good!
With any luck, a couple more bursts of writing like that and the first draft will be in the can. (As it is, that was a good bit of my 3rd chapter, with only the Kenshin to Excel Saga comparisons remaining, and commentary on anime exploring the questions of Japanese life, and then however I decide to do my conclusion.)
Added lysapadin. Does she even remember who I am? Doubtful. :D But she was a friend of old, and as such...well...some things you do even when you don't expect too much.
Storm Shadow is, without doubt, one of the most well known ninjas in cartoons. The ultimate ninja. And yet, in the cartoon, out of all those episodes, he only spoke in 11 of them.
Even Deep Six spoke in 16 episodes. Deep fucking SIX.
Also interesting: A metric fuckload of Joes were from Columbus, Ohio. Neat, huh?
