I haven't gotten around to seeing all of your posts, but hope to sometime soon.

Besides, I just bought it.<BR/><BR/>I'm setting up a blog for the class, with encouragement from Adrienne. But it's moved from Lost in Space theme to something darker, so she's not into it anymore.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep in touch.<BR/><BR/>JRJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805682723091589023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1138949377437192892006-02-02T22:49:00.000-08:002006-02-02T22:49:00.000-08:00I don't know Hellen, but I wish I was in SF so I c...I don't know Hellen, but I wish I was in SF so I could tag along and see the Umezu. I've been sitting on an analysis of Drifting Classroom for years now. And I wish I could take Jim's class. But it would probably be too scary for me. And I'm scared of Toire no Hanakosan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1138840705358991572006-02-01T16:38:00.000-08:002006-02-01T16:38:00.000-08:00Ryan and Evan (izzat dude back from the Midwest ye...Ryan and Evan (izzat dude back from the Midwest yet, maaaaaaang)<BR/><BR/>you guys have to come over to my SWEET NEW HOUSE! My roommate has a comprehensive comics library, including many volumes of weird and horrific manga. About 2/3 of that collection is Kazuo Umezu, a bunch of something called "Survivor" and at least one amazing Imiri Sakabashira book<BR/><BR/>YEAHHHHHHHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1138772934613673352006-01-31T21:48:00.000-08:002006-01-31T21:48:00.000-08:00Hi Jim,Thanks for the post!

(Wandering Ghost- The Odyssey of Lafcadio Hearn by Jonathan Cott). Your class sounds supremely interesting, and I'd love to talk more about it. (I don't know a ton, but I think I can recommend some good resources).<BR/>I'll send you an email (with links and reading ideas) very soon. My address is: rsands@gmail.com<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for thinking of me,<BR/>Ryan<BR/><BR/>PS- I saw a film version of Toire No Hanakosan in the theater back in 1997 with my friend Evan, the guy I run this blog with. It was pretty creepy, and a really fond memory of my first trip to Japan.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175574490647908108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-1138772234136877622006-01-31T21:37:00.000-08:002006-01-31T21:37:00.000-08:00Hi Ryan--How's it going?For my J-horror class, I'm...Hi Ryan--<BR/><BR/>How's it going?<BR/><BR/>For my J-horror class, I'm debating using the manga Ring for one of my texts. I have 2 questions.<BR/><BR/>1) Does this seem like a logical choice? I thought it tied in the with the movie. But is there something more interesting that you know of?<BR/><BR/>2) Can you think of any additional reading on manga that might be informative/interesting for the students? I guess I could always have them read something by Schodt.<BR/><BR/>My other thought, if I don't do the manga, is to have a unit on urban legends and use toire no hanako-san. But I can't really find any interesting material in English that would be accessible to freshmen. (But there is a great book in Japanese.)<BR/><BR/>Any suggestions?<BR/><BR/>My email is reichert@stanford.edu<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>JRJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805682723091589023noreply@blogger.com
