Funny ad, I like it. I don't own or use a selfie stick. I don't know which group I hate more, people who use selfie sticks or the busybodies who bitch and moan about the first group.
Most of these X-Men turned Avengers only joined the A's in the 2000s and beyond, when the comic industry was in upheaval and characters were being reinvented, re-imagined, and re-cast. Personally, I wouldn't count anything that happens after 1999. Most of the great X-Men story arcs were in the 70s to 90s, as were the Avengers. This century has not been kind to the classic comic titles.
Same with John Farrier. I remember watching Small Wonder religiously. As a tweener in the 80s, I had a crush with the robot girl. At least they didn't bash Punky Brewster too!
The "Whisper of the Heart" version was great, though it was a cover of Olivia Newton-John's cover of John Denver.
Yes the lyrics is the one in Whisper of the Heart. I've watched the movie more than ten times, since I first got a fansubbed VHS tape in 1996. I have the Japanese version of Country Road burned in my memory. Beautiful anime, it's my second favorite Ghibli movie (after Ocean Waves).
(I just checked Wikipedia, it has an audio clip of Shizuku singing the Japanese version of Country Road.)
It can happen. Let's say there are ten bad profs in a small liberal arts college. If the first two or three bad profs are booted out, the remaining bad profs would either leave the college or dial down their "badness". This leaves half-decent and/or strict profs as targets. Even cordial profs can be booted out by bullies. It happens all the time, good teachers hounded out by soccer moms with agendas, delinquents who feign abuse, and political interest groups.
Say prof ABC is a cordial teacher in a college. She is fair and grades to the students' abilities and does not shirk in giving Fs to bad students. A small clique or fraternity boys can influence the class or school to vote her out if she threatens to flunk one of their members.
I have seen it firsthand. A college teacher I had was a cool philosophy prof, but he was a vocal atheist, and the religious students pressured the student government to remove him from all undergraduate classes. He ended up teaching analytic philosophy to grad students.
Another problem would be teachers working to appease students. I would imagine no teacher would grade a student lower than a B for fear of getting voted down by vindictive students. This proposal would have the opposite effect. It incentivizes lazy students to keep on being lazy, as they have a big stick to punish teachers who have the temerity to give them a D for not attending a single class.
No, this proposal is just ludicrous. There must be some other way to fire/fix bad professors with tenure. Maybe they should be given less classes to teach, perhaps a single graduate-level elective class on his/her specialization. Then just make them earn their keep by getting research grants.
Honestly, I haven't been keeping up with anime since 2005. I've only watched one anime show in the last ten years (Attack on Titan). I looked at the shows you listed and it seems Aldnoah.Zero is a good watch. Kinda reminds me of Gundam Seed.
Speaking of which, reading your description of Food Wars, I am reminded of the anime Yakitate Japan and Cooking Master Boy. In fact, it seems food animes/manga must be over-the-top to get anyone to watch them.
Ok, I hate the haters more.
