Mmmph. Everyone is saying how proud they are of Disney because of Atlantis, and I am too, but the cynic in me is saying that next time they'll be right back to where they were before. I say this because I read that it really wasn't a big box-office draw like some of their other animated films. And you know it's all about the money.

Also, I'm getting kind of sick of people associating bishounen with angst (I'm not targeting anyone here, I've seen this complaint on like ten webpages in the past month or so, which is why I'm bothering to remark). Just because a guy's got pretty long hair doesn't mean his past was a horrible amalgam of pain and suffering. And even if it was, that doesn't mean they're all angsty and uberpoetic over it all the damn time. :\ Signal in Twin Signal is very bishounen, and he's just a cyborg (meaning he has no past, really, since he was just created), and his chibi-form is extremely cute and genki. And, sorry, ladies, but Vash with his hair down still has hair too long to be considered 'manly.' Also his eyelashes and such are usually pronounced in his 'sexy closeups' so he's a bishounen too, and he's the happiest anime character I ever saw. =P

The G-boys (as they're called) are all bishounen, but most of them except for Duo have fairly short hair, and they ALL -ooze- angst except for Quatre (who just went psycho that one time).

Setzer Gabbiani in Final Fantasy 6 and Edgar from the same game also had pretty long hair, and they were not angsty. Squall has short hair (though he is still very bish because of the style) and he is a walking pile of angst for most of his game, as is Cloud. Sephiroth has pretty long hair and he's not angsty, either (though most people think his past was horrible...I just say he's crazy; sorry Scully).

Grr. People who make such claims without examples to back them up anger me in ways I do not understand.
