Alex
I'm 30 years old and recently moved to Southern California from Illinois. I grew up in a rural, religious community and somehow came out mostly liberal. I'm a free-thinker and atheist, but intellectually interested in philosophy and religion. I have a degree in evolutionary biology and information science. I worked in IT for 6 years after graduating, but I'm now going back to school to either work in wildlife documentaries or as a zoo keeper. In my spare time, I play with my pet rat (Hopper), work on a trilogy I'm trying to write, play Final Fantasy XI, answer questions on Yahoo! Answers, and enjoy the outdoors (the beach, mountains, or whatever). I love to learn and to share what I know. Admittedly, I'm outspoken about my dislike for fundamentalist Christianity and U.S. foreign and national policy.
What anime series would you suggest if I liked Wolf's Rain?
I'm looking for an anime series with the same general feel as Wolf's Rain. I liked the character development, teamwork, and quest-driven storyline. If it helps, I have also enjoyed the following anime:
Ninja Scroll
Ghost in the Shell
Howl's Moving Castle
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
I'd prefer one or more good series--more than just a quick movie.
4 AnswersComics & Animation1 decade agoAnyone else see the irony in the immigration debate (in a historical perspective)?
Everyone seems so keen on either deporting illegal Mexican immigrants or at least forcing them to learn English and integrate into the culture. The arguments are almost identical to those made nearly 100 years ago when "those damn Irish and Germans" were "taking over American jobs" and (in the case of Germans) "refusing to learn the language." In a 2000 census, the top 2 ancestries in the U.S. are Irish (10.8%) and German (15.2%). Is that ironic? Why or why not?

(I realize that biggest issue is with people who have broken the law and cross the border illegal. But keep in mind that immigration requirements are much tighter than they were in the past, leaving fewer options.)
I just want to know if anyone else noticed the irony. If you're not familiar with this information, please follow the links.
