pendrake:
For comic #2238...
1. Loved the anime/manga references, though Dune references still are my topmost favorite.
2. Also like that Marten's "walk-along" supporting cast has been expanded. It will be interesting to see how he does with each librarian intern girl individually.
(and for our not-as-anime-fluent forum cast...)
3. Panel #2: Azumanga Daioh - Chiyo's detachable pigtails
4. Panel #3: Nichijou - Nano's roll-cake arm
Mr_Rose:
Has anyone considered that Emily might well be familiar with "cartoons from home" thanks to her parents wishing to raise her in two cultures, but has simply never heard them referred to in English using that particular French loan word?
Boomslang:
She's a computer science major- a female, asian-american computer science major. I'm assuming she's just pulling Momo's leg here, because the idea someone has not mentioned anime in her presence before now boggles my teensy little brain something fierce.
pwhodges:
Oh, but people can be that detached or oblivious.
I only first became really aware of anime about two years ago (after a somewhat offputting brief encounter some years earlier); admittedly I'm not in the most appropriate demographic, but my children and grandchildren are.
Smarch:
People are really looking for an in-universe explanation of Emily throwing anime gags and disclaiming any knowledge of anime?
Guys. In saying, "What's 'anime'?" she is pulling a meta-Osaka.
