"Return of the Otaking", Animerica:

[caption bottom right: "WHAT's MY LINE On board the _Luxion_, Noriko meets the friendly Smith Toren...say, doesn't that sound familiar? You guessed it, Noriko's doomed love was named after none other than the already legendary founder of Studio Proteus, Toren Smith. Although Smith did not voice the role himself, he did make his mark in anime history as the voice of one of the bridge operators."]

Why does this read like a Profile from the New Yorker?

Has material been appropriated (against copyright), or has it been written by a very gushy fan of the subject? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.171.190.98 (talk) 05:32, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was just thinking precisely the same, but my mind went immediately to it reading like it was written by its subject. Quite off-putting. 71.61.140.48 (talk) 21:34, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
