a ae ee Se ND Ss Dear Editor, The members of the Japanese Animation Society (also known as JAS or _ the Anime Club) felt both misrepresented and maligned by the article Japanese Animation Society by Zach McKeown. There are many parts to this article that we find objectionable. First and foremost is his tone and apparent strong desire to insult the club. To compare the Smurfs and He-man to the type of show we watch is irresponsible and completely incorrect. Most of the shows we watch are unsuitable for children. As for Pokemon induced seizures while it is true that a club member may discuss Pokemon it is typically to make fun of it. Very few of the members, if any, would say that they enjoy Pokemon at all. Im not sure any of us has ever seen the infamous episode that causes seizures. The order of the meetings is also incorrect. We hold meetings at 8:00, not 8:30 in the Catamount Room of the UC (or Multipurpose Room B depending on availability). The Media Room is not even located in the UC. Typically we watch two series over the course of the |. semester these series are voted for by the club members at the beginning of the semester. The meeting opens with two episodes from the first series, followed by announcements, then two episodes of the second series, and finally, if time _ permits, we may watch one episode of a third series which is different for each meeting. While it is true that Anime has high entertainment value, Mr. McKeown ignores one essential fact about Anime that is that it is highly cultural. Even in its most juvenile or simple forms it is undeniable that Anime conveys another culture. This is animation which was conceived of and created by Japan and it _ often reflects their culture. One show we - are Currently watching is set at the end of the Edo period and works very hard to replicate that time period in everything - from clothing to furniture to social status. While it is true that the plot may include / some magical elements the show is clearly more than just good fun. Whether it is reminding us that in the Edo period just about the only people for whom it was acceptable to wear red were theater members or that Japanese schools do not have janitors but instead students clean the classroom; there are many cultural learnings that may be gleaned from Anime. It is also true that, largely in thanks to Anime (and much to the Senseis chagrin), students are showing a growing interest in learning Japanese. You would be hard pressed to find a single Japanese class on campus that does not contain members of JAS. Another objection to the article is the way Mr. McKeown summarized the shows. If he must spoil the first episode of Ouran High School Host Club he should at least make it sound less unseemly. It would be more correct to say it is the Story of a poor but intelligently gifted girl attending a rich school on scholarship who must pose as a boy and join a club full of screwball young men in order to pay off a debt. Hilarity ensues. As for Zero he is correct on one thing; that is a very loose translation. The correct translation is Zeros Familiar. While it is undeniably similar to Harry Potter it has no significant Pokemon correlations. It is about a school of teenage magic users who must summon familiars to help serve them on their way to mastering the elements. One girl, whose only skill seems to be blowing up the classroom, accidentally summons a Japanese boy from earth instead of a typical familiar. Hilarity ensues. The last one, regarding Utawarerumono (The One Being Sung) is insulting but apt. Our greatest objection to the article is as follows. Mr. McKeown did not do any real research. It is amazing that he should be allowed to publish an article, and such an insulting one at inat, about - a club he has never even atter:ded. The club president offered to help him with the article and he turned her down for a quote from an anonymous source who did not entirely expect to be quoted (by the way, thank you anonymous source for fessing up to giving that quote that took a lot of guts and we really respect : you for your honesty). It seems he was more concerned with making fun of the : club than getting his facts straight. In other words Yellow Journalism. He is not much different from Stephen Glass xcept that he is a much worse liar and writer. To conclude we strongly object @ to this article and would appreciate that * this letter and other letters not only be. printed but that Mr. McKeown apologize ee @e @6@@@eeee@eee ee eeeeee sSeeest, 2 to the club for such a blatant and insulting @ misrepresentation. Sincerely, Breanne Lasorso Dear Editor, In response to a certain article in the Western Carolinian: | applaud your effort at writing about a topic you think is beneath you. It is a confident journalist who can take an enjoyable pass-time of others he or she disregards, | has done little research on and precede to write a factual article about said pass time. | am sure there are many reasons for the numerous errors in your article. Perhaps you were pressed for time, the newspapers deadline was approaching. Other homework needed to be completed, sleep was calling your name, friends were bugging you to spend time with them and frankly, writing some half paged blas article about that freaky club that watches cartoons from another country wasn't high on your to-do list. | can understand that, and | bear you no grudge. | would caution you though, that in your future articles it would behoove you to spend a little more time gathering the background information before writing something that. | cannot write a realistic article about a club by going to one of the meetings once, | wonder at your skill in that. How can you truly get a factual article: : out of something when you interview only one person. and one you know at that? Is there not a bias there? And what of the officers of the club? |, myself was never approached nor were the rest of the officers of the club. | do not think we are that frightening, and | myself feel | am quite approachable. It was brought to my attention that several of the officers who found out about the article beforehand offered to be interviewed but were never contacted. Does an interview with a willing person take up that much time? | do not pretend to know you, for you are just a name printed in the newspaper to me. | do not know what you intend to do with your life but if you are thinking of going into journalism then | would hope you tighten your investigative skills before you attempt articles for a publishing more prestigious then a school newspaper. It would be a shame if your name became synonymous with yellow journalism. Till | pen my opinion again, Melissa Mills, J.A.S Treasurer # newsmagazine Ec.
