SpiritWeb: Attack on Titan
Alan takes a detour to talk about Attack on Titan. Learn about Japanese history and culture, and how that is reflected in the world-building of Attack on Titan. Alan talks about why criticism is important when something in a story can contribute to human suffering. Can you ignore something out of existence?
Pretentious Word BINGO:
The culture of “Ho-Ren-So” makes it difficult for younger workers to innovate or get credit for their work in Japan.
Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution requires that any military force be strictly defensive. Lately Shinzo Abe has interpreted this to mean that Japan could leave its territory to defend itself in certain circumstances.
