Before I post this info, according to previous reports, MT was not "civil"
endough to mention AA as well when referring to Takahashi, he said "be it AX,
AY,AZ, whatever" and only of course mentioned AX, not a bash, just a 
clarification.


ANyway, notw to the really strange news that smells of dirty tricks.

A friend of mine, called the Westin, wanting info after not receiving yet
written confirmation of reservations.  Anyway, the person at the Westin
claimed that "someone" talked to them on Friday (the 18th) and said
AA'93 was cancelled.  Thus all the reservations were therefore cancelled.
Considering the latest AA'93 update is dated the 19th, I smell something
rotten in Denmark.

So EVERYBODY who has had a reservation with the Westin, contact them again.
All the information is still there for reservations to be reinstated.


I sincerely hope someone has more information on this "scandal".  Certainly
might counter claims that aa is only doing the smear tactics.

B-ko says, with her hand on her breast, "kono mune no tokimeki wa

its name is something like Regency Video.  I haven't been to there for a while,

Hmmm, I think you're a bit mis-informed about one thing: Takahashi-sensei
did not have a single thing to do with Kimagure Orange Road.  (Otherwise,
we wouldn't have had all that flame war thing some time ago with Panda
over KOR versus MI...)  The credit for creating KOR goes to Izumi
Matsumoto, who authored the KOR manga.

Akemi Takada, the character designer for the KOR anime series, has done
some character designs for anime episodes of Urusei Yatsura and Maison
Ikkoku, both based upon Takahashi-sensei's works.  This may be part of
reason why you're mixing KOR and Takahashi-sensei together.

This could be just me, but what the hell...

I've noticed that the GoH's for AA were dropping, as far as American guests.
Rumors are noted that certain other GoH's are replacing other GoH's, so
I'm always in concern of exactly WHO's going to be WHERE..

Now, one of my heroes, Monkey Punch, confirms at a con that HAD me worried
about their guest list, at a time where memberships are crucial to the
success of the con that hasn't reported their current number of memberships.

Question: Can anyone give me a report update of the number of memberships
	at AA right now as well as another con (guess)...? I want the

I too was kinda disturbed by the movie.  It left me with an unsettled feeling. 
I mean, what happens to Hikaru in the end?  It wasn't really clear whether she
was going to stop going for Kyosuke.  And it didn't really get into the
Madoka/Kyosuke relationship enough for me.  All they did together was talk
about the Hikaru problem.  I prefer the TV episode 47/48 ending much more.  I
mean, the whole series is so light-hearted (at least what I've seen of it) that
having a psychotic Hikaru was kinda depressing.  At least they didn't try to
milk the public by continuing the series into their college years (although I
wouldn't mind seeing more OVA style specials produced).

Disclaimer:  I'm not really knocking the movie.  It was still better than 99%
of the stuff I've seen, but I prefered the TV ending over the way the movie
ended the series.

FACT: There are two conventions.
FACT: Not everyone that is going to one is going to the other.

Considering these two facts, I assume people want to make an opinion of
which con is better, and go to the con of their choice.

So how does one consider which con to go to? The perfect staff is not one
of my credentials, because I don't think there is such thing. The GoH list
can be quality and/or quantity (I assume people hate this logic), but if
someone you want to meet is at one con, why not go to that one? I, for
one, want to AX' 93 provided Rumiko Takahashi goes, and Mikimoto.

SO what other credentials are there for each convention? One of mine happens
to be : IS IT FUN? AT last AX '92, I went to kareoke, midnigt madness, met a
lot of friends around the country and around the world..ANother happens to be
a ggod dealers' room, and I haven't been disatisfied at the previous
convention, except for the fact that they are crowded (A lot of people seem
to agree that a good dealers' room is a healthy benefactor.)

What detracts me from a convention? Anime politics..I ought to know that
politics has destroyed a lot of my fun..the C/FO, advanced fans vs.
beginning fans, even w/in Cal-Animage, and now AA vs AX. Now, big flames about
anime won't go away too often, but it's time to see beyond these
politics.  It's a matter of what is going to satisfy your pleasure, whether
you have enjoyed your previous experience at AX '92 and AC '91 and expect
even more, or feel you hated it and take your chances at a smaller con.
It's up to you to look beyond the opinions of "A-person-on-this-staff-sez"
or "There's a rumor-that-[meaty gossip]" and make your own decisions..

thinking back to all the episodes and all the good times they had (we

made me even more of a romantic.  Thinking too hard can put tears in my

   Hey, Gaver-Sensei!

   Got a question for you.  There's one American (at least, she's a native
English speaker, and she sings with an American accent,) that has gotten on a
number of anime soundtracks.  Her voice is extremely nasal, and she seems to
have no real talent (just some dumb luck, maybe.)  I've heard her on the
Project A-Ko and Capricorn soundtracks.  In fact, whenever there's a song with
all-English lyrics, she's the one singing it.
   The questions: Who is she, how'd she luck out, why is she so bad, and why
do the anime studios keep using her instead of getting someone that can
actually sing?  (She really sounds like she's snorted her paychecks.)
