  As I dig into increasingly minor,
  unsuccessful examples of otaku
  fodder, I begin to wonder about
  my usual stance, singing the praises       MUTATION
  of the slow evolutionary development
  of genre art.                                          TROPISM

  It is, after all, possible to be so
  imitative that there's simply been
  nothing added in the process; a            One way of looking at this:
  recombination of familiar forms
  can just end up being over-familiar.       The degree of allowed imitation
                                             between generations is one of
                                             the parameters that itself can
                                             evolve.
