Miss Ayumi: [teaching class] When the poet says "Oh,to substantialize this supasataitias ontelogical quitity." he is expressing something that I think you'll agree is central to most people's lives.At the same time,what does it tell us about his absurdest views of human existence?A good question.Then his obsession with ecumenical transcendentalism is revealing. more

SO many in-jokes so very little time...., 2 October 1998
10/10
Author: (shawnspurko@hotmail.com) from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Project A-ko is a must for anyone who is really into anime as I am. Most of the jokes are parodies of other anime films and shows, so the more you know about anime the better the movie gets. Besides the fact that this is DEFINITELY one of the greatest anime movies ever made, it is also hard to get tired of. Literally dozens of in-jokes and a very funny movie.
