The Confluence of Anime and Grammar Nitpickery
For some reasons issues of Newtype USA always seem to end up face-down on the floor of my house. Perhaps it's because the magazine reads from right to left in the Japanese fashion. Whatever the reason, I often tend to notice the advertisements on the back cover of Newtype more than those in other magazines.
This morning I was looking at the July 2004 issue as it lay on my bathroom floor and saw an advertisement for Bandai's new anime series Wolf's Rain. What really caught my eye was the bit at the top that said the series is "From the Creator's of Cowboy Bebop":
Um... creator's? So did they not notice they had screwed up and put the singular posessive rather than the plural of "creator"? (Well, I guess it could be a contraction too.) Someone in Bandai's art department either needs to do a better job of proofreading or needs to go back to English 101.
