| Ok, I must apologize. I should have realized that my comment would have set off the usual China/Japan political commentary. But that was not my intention. All I meant was that the characters have that 'Japan Cute' look, especially Ni Ni. And no matter what you think about politics in Asia, you have to admit that the Japanese have had a near monopoly on the 'cute cartoon' look from the late twentieth century on.
So, please, for the sake of Wang Jian Shuo's blog, enough about the politics between China and Japan. These are Olympic mascots, for crying out loud! |
