New York Review Abroad by Robert B Silvers
Stories the director himself said they didn't dare put in the anime Q: What happens when you try to act like an anime character in real life? A: EXCEL SAGA. Two groups of neighbors in an apartment building lead secret lives. One thinks they're trying to take over the city of Fukuoka. The other thinks they're trying to defend it. Only their bosses, would-be conqueror Lord Il Palazzo and obsessed bureaucrat Dr. Kabapu, know the truth behind this increasingly dangerous private game. Too bad neither will let their underlings in on it Finding a ready (and willing ) audience at a small-town retail outlet, Excel preaches the word of ACROS. She's a smash success (as a performance artist), until Iwata and gang arrive in robotic attire. Poor Excel.does she have what it takes to right the wrongs of society--or will the elegantly military El Gala take her glory away? In a crisis of faith, Excel strikes out on her own--leaving a note behind for her beloved Il Palazzo. Meanwhile--who knew?--Sumoyoshi's tasty little sister comes to town on a visit. Then, if there wasn't already enough isolation and despair in the world, the whole group is transported back to High School Daze (remember, this book is rated T for teen ). Yes, head-master Kabapu, we like beach volleyball, especially when the gorgeous girls of ACROS are involved.saving the world, one bikini at a time.| SKU | Unavailable |
