I agree that the ending of KOR leaves a certain ambiguity about the future
of this relationship.  Unlike a show like MI, which had a definite conclusion,
KOR attempts to document that "first love".  If it ended with them together,
that's wonderful.  If it didn't (and don't most people go through at least a 
couple of heartbreaks with "THE RIGHT PERSON" before actually finding the right
person?), then KOR did a wonderful job of taking us back to "that day".

Heck, if love were painless, would it really be worth anything?

Love doesn't just "happen"...you make it...)

   Well, we try our best with it.  When we sat down for the ruff translation,
we had someone who was japanese and one who understood the language to high
extent.  Mind you, after this stage, it got rewritten a bit, so I don't
really remember what got chnged.

   I'll pass this on.  I admit they are just a wee bit small.  I'll past this

   Well, this was something that was decided on while we were still doing 
the translation.  We were going to do a differnet color tape, but they are a bit more costly.

The last episode of KOR (the movie) left me sad, too, and with a lot of 
questions (and isn't this something "quality" entertainment is noted 
for?). However, I wonder about some things that CAN be answered, 
too (I hope).    
1) Is the "uncommunicative" dialogue between boys and girls (men and
   women) typical of Japanese culture? Imagine watching the series 
   without the internal dialogues!
2) Did the manga version end the same way?  As my affliction for KOR
   grows, I can well imagine searching out the print versions of the
   entire story and THEN searching out the translations floating about
   in the Internet Ether! :)
I WAS moved by the ending, especially when I realized I was feeling pangs
of nostalgia for a high-school life I never had, in so many ways!

Hmm...  it would seem that either the add was very incorrect or as one otaku
suggested, the month(April) of the mag might have something to do with a false
add...But I don't see the point, since it didn't tell the reader to look for a
false add and I don't think they have ever disclosed that it was false(I'm
pretty sure they would if that was the case).  It does clearly say that it was
the TV series episodes one and two being released, not the OVA's or movies.
Oh well...I gues it was just vapor ware...

As bit staff in registration for both AC91 and AX92, I also know how crazy
_both_ cons were. In fact AC91 was SO crazy that I was too busy to realize
things that were going on practically next to me until someone told me much
later (unlike AX, where we saw what was going on while it happened). Perhaps
Charlie wouldn't mind doing a similar expose about AC91 so everyone can see
how much fun THAT was as well.

From what I remember, the true dirt on AC91 is a lot more damning to AnimeCon
Corp than the dirt on AX92 is to anybody.

Here's a few reasons why, or most likely, why garage kits cost more
than US kits.

Primarily economy of scale. Revell probably cranks out thousands of
kits compared to the few hundred (if that) garage kit.

The majors (how about that term?) use molded styrene kits where
garage kits use solid resin or soft vinyl.

Actually, if you campare the price of say, a Lum kit compared to a
RX-78 Gundam kit you'll see what I mean. Gundam kits are pretty
cheap- under $10. Lum on the other hand tends to go for around
$100.

I was fortunate to get a Ran soft vinyl kit on clearance for $25 a
few years ago. Well, that was more than a few years ago...

I don't like negative posts, but this has gone too far.  I am sick of negative
posts leveled against Anime Expo '93.

I really don't think that RAA is the place for this kind of garbage.  As far as
I can tell, Anime Expo '93 is doing a fine job.  I have yet to see any negative
posts from the AX staff, yet we are told that these people are working against
anime in America.  The way I see it, these posts which attack Mike Tatsugawa,
attack the Anime Expo staff, attack SPJA, and attack the credibility of AX 93
work against anime in America.  Let's face it, pettiness never contributes
positively to any hobby.  I personally know a few staff members, and they are
working hard to avoid the negative tactic used by a handful of posters on RAA.

In fact, if people get upset over Panda's flames, I would think that these
personal and biased attacks against Anime Expo should also be wearing thin.
I am fed up.  I intend not only to go to Anime Expo, I also intend to help
them out.  I want to contribute positively to anime in America, not listen
to yet another pointless flame war.


I have seen inflammatory letters circulated regarding AX 93.  I cannot for the
life of me see how this contributes to anime.  The age of mudslinging politics
ended with the 90's.  Too bad anime can't learn the same lesson.

Hontoo Desu Ka? Which side was it on? I went home and double-checked
my LD by placing my EARS next to the speakers and seeing whether or
not there was any significant change in the normal hiss(from my

I call my friend of 8 years, David Wood, Woody most of the time, sometimes
D.J. Wood. (His middle initial IS 'J') We still refer to an old friend from
high school as Eaton, his last name. Dave calls me Bik, short for Bikowicz,

There are actually five OAVs made after Project A-Ko.  Three of them
are direct sequels, the last two were set in an "alternate universe"
where A-Ko and B-Ko are partners and C-Ko is the daughter of a tycoon.

I thought they were all amusing, but not quite equal to the original movie.

I can make a copy of the song in either IBM or Mac Format.. but just as

I *can* make sound files of KOR off the CD's, but a sound file for
