Nope, it isn't "Knight Sabers, sanJUU!", it's "Naito Seebazu, sanJO(u)!" 
I have no idea what that means, tho'. Mata ne.

I can't quote articles, but I can easily paraphrase what he's said at
conventions.  He doesn't care what we think because he's making anime
translations/adaptions/whatever for a mainstream audience, and there's
a lot more money in that.  Money.  That's the primary reason.

From what I heard, the Japanese themselves did the dubbing for Akira.
Carl Macek had no control over it.

Perhaps that's what we need.  Instead of trying to convince Carl not to
"edit" the anime he buys, perhaps we should try to contact the original
Japanese companies to dub/sub the originals themselves, or at least 
restrict Carl by contract not to "edit" any parts out.  Or at the very
least, allow Carl his usual dubbing technique, but still give rights for
a subtitled version to another company.

I have next to no knowledge of law, so I'm talking through my hat.  Still,
I can dream, can't I?

	He's just 'defending' his 'cause'.  I really don't see why he has
this need to dump all over Kimagure Orange Road though.  Every show has
it's merits and faults, MI as well as KOR.  (Perhaps it's the PSI and
stuph in KOR, but it's not meant to be true-to-life.)
 
	KOR is (assuming that you were asking what KOR and MI is), on a 
basic level, a story about a Junior High kid, Kyosuke, who moves into
a new town, and how he relates with the kids there.  (ar, yes, he DOES
have some kind of hereditary 'power', but that's what makes most of the
series.)
 
	MI is, on a basic level, a sotry about a college student, who
lives at a boarding house, and how he relates with the other tenants there.
(ar, especially the new superintendent, Ms. Kyoko Otonashii).
 
	Both are comedies, both have common video character designs (for
the most part anyways) and both are well done in their own ways.  I'm a
fan of both series - but I'm definitely not FANatical about either.
(Well, maybe enough so, considering I'm trying to get the MI LD set.
Aiee!  That's going to be costly - I'm gonna be living like Godai next

Evidently, there is going to be an attachment that will allow you to use

Are you talking about the original versions, or the american
translations? Because I'd expect the american versions to be
"darkened" (in a way censored) enough to not show the skin in those
areas. I have yet to see an american translation of manga without
"hair", and a japanese version WITH.

True, this anime satirizes otakus and their lifestyle, but it also shows that
the people who did it (GAINAX, which was founded by a bunch of anime fans
in the first place) really know and appreciate anime.

I would find it truly sad if someone were so self-important as to be
unable to laugh at his/her own faults.

I've done unreasonable things for my hobby.  That would define me as an
otaku.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  :-)
