I personally think that the modern anime is getting away from the big saucer eyes for a reason. The reason being that young kids have become obsessed with that look. Which has only increased since Lady Gaga started wearing the anime contacts in her music videos. These contacts are very unhealthy for the eye. Many teenagers have developed ulcerations of the eye because of it. Scientists can be crazy. Physics is science and without it the atomic bomb would have never been created. LOL You’re funny John: If you see military helicopters descending towards you, RUN. Great Podcast guys.
