Supposedly this is the anime version of le Guin's Earthsea books. It's a pretty trailer, but I don't recognize anything except the hawk.

"In civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure, and the police take the place of pirates."

Huh. Huh? Huh.

I'm not quite sure what "espionage takes the place of adventure" means. I suppose it's part of the whole escapist tendancy of heterotopias. Anyway, I kind of want to use this quote in relation to Mieville's The Scar. It seems like it owuld be productive.
