Maybe because you didn’t have to work with it for 4 months amid the initial pitch, rewrites and proofing. That gives you plenty of time to distill a summary.

Though I’ve been working with my master’s thesis for almost 2 years now (waiting on the final sign-off from my adviser), and I STILL can’t describe that argument in less than a paragraph.

Be sure to let Joe & I know if you guys would have time to grab a meal while you’re here for C2E2. At very least, we need to catch up at the con!

Wow, now, why couldn’t I think of that? That’s a great summary. I think it’s the word “indictment” that I was missing.

LOL

How about:
* an argument that “Grave of the Fireflies” is actually an indictment of the child’s adventure genre in anime.

I know, but your article didn’t sum up so quickly into one line. How would you describe it?
