Do you mean to play god, Zorndyke!? Zorndyyyyyyyyke!

What's the deal with your name, Zorndyke? Zorndyyyyyyyyke!

So I was thinking that I'm not really sure I can describe how xenophobic and morally irresponsible Blue Submarine No. 6 is without sounding like zee hysteric who will take zee dumb action anime *way too seriously*.

But then I realized that hey!, I pretty much am. So.

( Spoiler cut. )

I can't believe I'm writing all this earnest intercultural comm-textbook crap about Blue Submarine No. 6. Did I mention how Zorndyke's doomsday device works? (This is not a spoiler.) It's supposed to switch the earth's magnetic poles, which the anime thinks will cause the tectonic plates to shatter and the continents to somehow sink. Your love is like bad geology, Blue Sub.

Mom: Uh-huh -

ladyringolane, in background: [something irate]

Mom: What, baby? - there's something *living* in the cat's vomit.

ladyringolane, in background: YES!

Me: ...should I come over and clean up the vomit?

Mom: No, I'll do that.
