"ACCUSE"????? Wake up and smell the sake, man... Tonghyun wasn't
"accusing" you... Heck, I consider the term otaku a compliment...

The number of scripts you have done for anime indicate that you are
more than just a casual fan. Like it or not, you are an otaku (in the
nice sense of the word)!

Here at UT, when you walk into the Taylor Hall room with all the SunStations,
the odds are that at least 25% of the people running XWindows will have set 
their background to be some kind of Anime/Manga .GIF/.JPG/whatever. If you go
in before 10 AM, you can occasionally see someone ftping -everything- from 
piggy.ucsb.edu or some other site in one window, and using xv to look at 'em as
they come down the line.....

The other day, I'm reading news on one station, and I suddenly hear the Ranma
1/2 theme (the from the original series, with the "Yappappa" business). I turn
around, and these two guys have found the damn thing on sciences.sdsu.edu, in
Sun .au format. 2.6 megabytes long! <shakes head>

I, myself, have DP.gunpod.gif from wpi.wpi.edu as my wallpaper for XWindows;
being a monochrome image, it doesn't look completely horrid when I have to 
switch to a mono machine.......

And one of these days I'm going to get Yes's "Leave It" off of that site, and
use the final second as an exit SFX....

Dragonball Z episode 149
title: Konohiwo matteita!  Cell kanzentaiheno jokyoku
      [I have been waiting for this day!
       The prelude to Cell's perfection.]
aired: 1992.07.22

Goku had recovered, but number 17 and Piccolo were already fighting it
out.  Then Cell felt Piccolo's ki and flew as fast as he could to the
island where Piccolo and the cyborgs were fighting.

"You have a great power although you're not a cyborg."  Number 17 wiped
the blood away from his mouth.  "I don't care who you are.  I just want
to know where Goku is."

But since Piccolo didn't tell number 17 where Goku was, they got ready
to fight again.  Number 17 said, "I'll fight for real now."  Then they
started close range fighting again.  Number 17 landed some punches into
Piccolo.  Then Piccolo said, "You have great speed, but your punches
lack power."

Number 17 got mad and they continued the battle.  Piccolo was landing
his punches and kicks too.

Goku and Gohan were waiting outside of the room where Vejiita and Trunks
were training.  They just prayed that Piccolo can last until Vejiita and
Trunks finished.

Piccolo and number 17 continued their battle and caused a volcano on the
island to erupt.  Number 18 was wondering how many islands they had to
destroy before the battle was over.

Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Yamucha were just waiting at Kame House.
Then Kuririn felt Cell approaching them.

"I have been waiting for a long time for this day.  The day I become
complete,"  Cell was saying, as he was flying toward the cyborgs.

At Capsule Corp, Bulma was working hard to build the device to deactivate
the cyborgs.  Baby Trunks was crying and Bulma's father was trying to
calm him down.  Yajirobe was complaining to Bulma that she should take
care of her baby.  Then Bulma finished.  She said that now she can
completely deactivate the cyborgs.  When Bulma held Trunks, he stopped
crying.

Number 17 and Piccolo's battle continued underwater.  Then they flew
off and kept fighting.

At Kame House, Kuririn got a phone call from Bulma.  She told him that
there was a special circuit built in to deactivate the cyborgs.  She
said that she has finished making the device to trigger it.  Bulma said
that she would bring it right away.  Tenshinhan said that if they
destroyed the cyborgs, Cell couldn't make himself complete.  Then
Kuririn remembered number 18 giving him a kiss.

Gohan and Goku also felt Cell.  But all they could do was wait for
Vejiita to finish.

Number 17 and Piccolo continued fighting on another island.  They kept
slugging it out like two heavy-weight boxers.  Then number 17 said,
"Although our power is the same, there is a difference in stamina.
My power will never decrease."

Then Piccolo turned around to see Cell standing on rock looking at them.

I think it at least partially depends on *when* you get introduced to anime.
I saw BGC back in...geez, 8th grade, I think, just after my obsession
with Robotech (which some may argue has not gone away yet - shut up, Joe),
and I thought it was really cool.  Being a adolescent male helped in
my appreciation of BGC - a fairly well-done but not terribly intellectual
SF action anime.  That and the fact that Robotech was the closest thing
to intelligent mature animation I had seen at the time made it a lot easier
to get into.

And, of course, it depends on your taste.  If you don't like SF action
stories, then you wouldn't like BGC; things you said you could "have
fun slumming with" are two of my favorite anime series - I don't
require my anime to have a single intellectually stimulating idea in
it 8-).  There's enough variety to anime that there are lots of anime
fans with mutually exclusive tastes - and yet we're all part of the
same fandom.  At times it's almost amazing we manage to get anything
done, considering the diversity of anime fans that're out there...

The first one was out on time (7/1).  The second may be a few days
late (scheduled for 8/1, probably out 8/5 or so).  The Miyu LD was
delayed but should be shipping now.

I know "otaku" comes from a formal form of "you", used by many anime
fans in 80's. But "otaku" in its original meaning is used by both
genders. Please site the reference that describes "feminine" 
quality in the word.

<Sailor Moon>

     Sailor Moon is a relatively new series by Bandai. The protagonist is
Tsukino Usagi, a 14 year-old junior high student of dubious academic
prowess. She rescues a strange cat from some neighborhood urchins and later
it rewards her with a brooch that transforms her into a superhero. From that
point on she is a reluctant defender of humanity against the forces of the
Dark Kingdom.
     In subsequent episodes she is joined by Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars,
who are actually competent at fighting evil. The cat's name, by the way, is
Luna.
     Sailor Moon premiered in March '92 and was aimed at a female audience.
The character design was such that they attracted an unexpected male audience.
The show itself is a parody of several genra of anime and can be hilarious if
you're looking for the parody and not the plot. The plots are all formula
monster/demon-of-the-week type.

Ranma 1/2 for the IBM compat systems is ** NOT *** like
the SNES version and is ** NOT ** like Street Fighter II.
It is more like your side scrolling games like Legendary Axe,
Elvinto, Strider, Prince Persia, Spiderman or Batman.  Like that.
You get points for killing things and with them you buy 
better weapons and powers.  You get to select from things like
sticks, chains to fireballs and multi shots and sheilds.
 
Ranma is by a company named SunStar. 
 
 
Princess Maker is made by Gainaxx.  A good role play game.
Our translator has made dox for it so those with limited Japanese
can play it.  IT is mouse compatiable with pull and pop up menus.
It is a memory hog and kills all your TSRs.
Princess Maker II is rumoured to be coming out.
 
 
I would love to get that Orange Road or Maison Ikkoku game 
but so far it only works on the MSX system.
 
Oh well.  Maybe I will concentrate on the Nadia CD game or the
Silent Moebius one.

1) Here you go again with "my con is better than your con".  Tsk.  You're
   not going to make friends with your current opposition with THAT attitude.

2) Who said anything about folding tents?  Why does it have to be EITHER
   AnimeCon OR AnimeExpo?  Why not try and join efforts?  If there are
   hangups because of the name, call it AnimeFest or something.

And, in another article:

And in that spirit, you persist on having AnimeCon '93 run on the same date
as AnimeExpo '93.  Riight.  You seem like an intelligent person, you should
KNOW that will be a bad move for both cons.

Quite frankly, I'm suspicious of your motives (and of Tatsugawa's motives
as well, lest you think I'm taking sides).  Then again, it may be my
natural fear and loathing of politicians acting up.

	"Koshien" is a name of a baseball stadium which locates
in or near Nishinomiya city which is very close to Osaka.  Every Spring and
Summer there is a national highschool baseball tournament and only the
strongest teams from each province (spl) get to play at Koushien.
        Rest of the time It's used by pro baseball teams.

Anyways, besides "pick your favorite blond, well-built actress"
nobody has answered my initial question:
What European or Scandinavian nationality is Deunan Knute's name
from?? I don't think Shirow just made it up.

Arigato and all that
(personally, I think Deunan is kinda disturbed, maybe not
 as hyper as Sarah Conner, but then again she doesn't have
 the burden of saving the world from nuclear holocaust)
