So, we've established that Hiroshi doesn't want to be labelled "otaku".
Fine. We'll just whisper it behind his back. :)

I think the whole argument is pointless, since it's based on people's
prejudices, which will ALWAYS get confusing when trying to argue about
one side or the other.

Much like about five years the term "Nerd" was used to label all people
who didn't fit into the "beautiful people" classification or who kept
to themselves or were computer whiz-kids. The people who were in this
classification fall into the same category as people who are called
otaku (in a hateful sense).

I am proud to be Otaku, and will continue to be so. :) [just like I was
proud at the time to call myself a nerd, because I was a computer whiz]
I don't care what the general public thinks of my hobby (frankly, they
can get knotted if they don't like it), but I do care what my peer
group thinks of me.

Thank you for your inattention. (Oi, wake up!) :)

That's all fine and dandy, but I'm talking about -mass- viewings. It'd be real
nice if various groups could ask each and every interested person what they 
like in a film, and then show 'em something appropriate; but most often, you 
get whole groups of new people coming in at once. And, IMHO, when you can't
customize what gets shown to suit each and every viewer, mind candy seems to be
the next best thing. (You also don't have to do a lot of explanations.....)

	Well that's true, Godai did sleep with Kyoko a bit before they
   were married so I guess he wasn't all _that_ patience :)  They did the
   same thing in the TV series very tastefully with just showing the lights 
   of Kyoko's room turning off with the rain falling.  The part I liked in

  What causes the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Yes, it is horrible
 to let the innocent people shoulder the responsibility. Today, most of
 the Japanese think they are the only people suffering in WWII because
 of the nuke. But what had the Japanese army done to the Asian countries? 
 The people killed in Nanking may be more than the sum of the people died 
 in two atomic bombing. Why should Chinese suffer that?
  Let's pay attention to the Japanese government. Had the emperor made
 any apology to Chinese? NOT YET! The authorities even re-wrote the
 history textbooks to cover their invasion. Years ago, one officer,
 Hashimoto Ryutaro (I translate it from Chinese words.), said "There were 
 NOTHING happened in Nanking." (Soon he is called by a famous Japanese
 writer "The Cancer of Human Beings".) 
  Those are the Japanese. They want everyone feels sorry for them but 
 forgets their crime.

Having a non-profit con, though, is no guarantee that the fans will
get their money's worth.  For example, in AE92, every dealer was 
selling the 1/144 Gundam Unit 3 kit for $18.  That's totally unreasonable,
based on the yen price!  Pony Toy in LA sells the same kit for $12.
This price-fixing isn't a reflection on the staff of AE92, of course,
but on the attitudes of the dealers.  They just want to max their
profits.

Jeez, a 50% price hike... that's too much.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, Carl stated in his Animag interview
that he wasn't interested in obtaining Robotech the Movie - it was the
closest I've seen him coming to saying, "It sucked," about something

Of course, this is also the man who supposedly ragged on the Dirty Pair

If that is so, then the question remains, why did the military try to 
prevent the Emporer's surrender speech from being heard AFTER the SECOND 
bomb was dropped? They went so far as to kill a couple of the Emporer's friends
to try to intercept the tape. Nothing done by the Japanese military indicates
they were in any state of mind approaching reasonable.

Poison gases were used extensively in WWI. They were pretty ineffective.

Some respects?  I think the differences are a little too big and too
numerous to call it "essentially the original Gundam series".  There are
several elements the two share, but they are, for all intents and purposes,
completely different.

The most noticeable difference is that none of the Earth scenes, which
comprise most of GUNDAM II, if I remember right, are in the novels.

Ok...  My interest is piqued...  :-)

Where can I get my hands on a copy of Battletech Replay?  The idea of a decent

As for the animated version, I'm waiting anxiously for it to come out...
