I've talked to him and he seems to like Ikuhara's stuff a lot; pretty sure his steam profile pic is from Penguindrum. Very, very entry level taste in general. Overall, I can see why pseuds are jealous of him and seethe whenever he's mentioned.

>Oh man. I thought the whole "psueds are jelous that an animefag published his books" thing was just a meme. Looks like it's true.
Why did you believe it to be a meme? When all the signs were there.

Books are okay and decent to read in an afternoon, the only reason why so many people hate the author is because he's an animefag that managed to finish multiple novels in the span of a few months, while the pseuds can't even get started with theirs yet.

>Even though visual media has done an enormous amount of good for English, modern prose should not read like a script or as a written substitute for the visual format. It has emerged as a distinct form of art. Experimental prose, the type that explores the capabilities of the written form in conveying abstract ideas and emotions without relying purely on sensory description, became popular since the early twentieth century after the advent of film-making. Since then, the number of different styles for writing has expanded enormously. This isn’t a history lesson, so I’ll just say that today, English prose is quite a broad domain of study and there are an endless number of words and phrases that could be used to express the one idea. There is really no “correct” way of doing it. But this is also why being influenced by just one form of media does not utilise the power of words to its fullest potential – and this is why I believe that when applied the wrong way, anime can be a negative influence on one’s writing.

>For example, phrases that convey just a visual image without its implicit meaning tend to feel awkward in English. So to write “John saw Mary undressing and blood came out of his nose” ala anime-style feels unnatural in English. Physical comedy, like slapstick, doesn’t translate well to writing either. This is because you are not engaging all the senses with your words and neither are you addressing the mental or the emotional dimensions of what is happening by using that phrase. To write the manzai routine into a story and have people yelling and hitting each other for comedy isn’t nearly as funny in words as it is to watch because you are limiting the effect of the words and merely relying on the image.

>In other words: if you only watched anime and never studied books, you could never develop good English prose.
