...e di chi parlo se non...
del grande GOSHO AOYAMA !
apro qui questa discussione perchè a partire da una sua intervista ( grazie a Kid per averla ritrovata
) possiamo cercare di approfondire varie tematiche relative ai suoi personaggi , visti da una prospettiva "privilegiata" ( quella di Gosho stesso , la mente di Mei Tantei Conan , il fautore di tutte le ns fantasie
) sulla scia delle sue risposte ( benchè molte delle quali assai sibilline
come vuole il suo stile
)
l'intervista è questa

come vedete carne da mettere al fuoco ce ne è parecchia
...io credo che possano nascere degli spunti di riflessione interessanti
ma cmq questo topic può essere ampliato anche con informazioni su Gosho stesso , visto che anche lui è un "personaggio"
e che PERSONAGGIO!
