	Well I was _going_ to see Vampire Hunter D (the Streamline Dub) in
Cambridge, MA's Brattle Theatre last night at the late showing.  I got
there half an hour early and it was SOLD OUT!  I don't know, but I would
guess the earlier shows probably sold out too.  Geez, and it was only a
Tuesday night!

	I think anime has reached the point where fans increase
exponentially.  If only the distributers put out tapes more widely and less
expensively I think they would be raking in the bucks!

Well, here are my thoughts on the "otaku" situation.  Otaku has been 
adopted by many fans as an identifying term.  Now as long as a majority
of the fans feel it has a positive connotation (maybe a little goofy, but
not psychotic...) the fans will use it.  For example, for a while 
trekkie was an acceptable term to the fans (I know...I was in a Starfleet 
chapter and we called outselves trekkies...) but when the social connotation
of the term changed, especially as Trek fandom became more acceptable they
switched the term to "trekker".  Now I will bet that if anime becomes more
mainstream than it is then we will see otaku fall out of disuse.  For one 
thing, we'd probably see some idiot reporter (the same kind who talks about
Annie May... :-)) say "they call themselves "otakus", which is a term in Japan
for super obcessive psychotic fans who kill little girls...".
 
So while anime fandom is reletively small, you'll probably see otaku, but as
it grows, we'll come up with some other term....

Ok, I forgot to put the word original in quotes, but the smileys were
there.  This was a deliberate jab at USMC... (Besides, I think that
Lum's Tiger striped Bikini top is a bigger draw.  They could even
advertise that one package will have the ACTUAL bikini top!)

All of my Japanese friends, as far as I know, believe that
a lot of other Asian countries suffered, largely due to the Japanese
imperialism. Are they all coincidentally in the small small minority?

The only non-incident I know of occured around 13yrs ago:
There was a (wrong) claim that was published in the mainstream media
that out of 12 textbooks or so, 1 of them was forced to change
the wording from 'shinryaku' (invasion) to 'shin-nyu' (intrusion).
The article later stated that this textbook had not changed
the wording but had always been worded that way.

Is this the incident you are referring to, or are you referring
to something else; please elaborate.

I find your article extremely prejudiced; please supply facts
to support your allegations. 

There will always be a few revisionists, but I know of no evidence that

Or (and I just had this thought) if we MUST be stuck with two cons, why
not move one of them (the "corporate" one, since it'd be easier for
businesses to move than for "fan organisers") to the East Coast?? I'm
sure the East Coasters (and some in-betweeners) would greatly enjoy a
more local con as opposed to all of them happening on the west coast.

While we are on the subject, does anyone know what newtype manuals are

I would like to see something for either of these.  Also, was a sequel

I just have to wonder about this "the ball is in your court now, Mike" attitude
displayed here.  Aren't you just graciously offering Mike the honor to 
dissolve AnimeExpo and fall in-line with AnimeCon?  Is there more to this
than what you're telling?  If you were willing to give more than just
what you want as an alternative, maybe a resolution _could_ be reached.
I don't see why Mike has to answer to nicely costumed ultimatums.

And frankly, (and this is because I don't know you), I have no reason to
believe that your main motivation is for anime fans best interest.  Clues
to back this up include the July 4th weekend decision, among other stuff
previous posters have mentioned.  This is after all your "I have nothing
against [insert name]" phrases you've been stating, which is all fine
and dandy, but as for me, actions usually are a more clear sign of one's
intentions.  Calling Mike someone who "works behind the scenes" with subtle
implication that he deals in an unglamorous fashion, is not a harmless 
statement about someone whom one has "nothing against".  Again, I feel like
certain people think that by just saying phrases like "I have nothing
against you"  they can say anything and that it'll be ok.  I'm going
to say this again:  stop treating us like fools.  If you have nothing
against these people, you and I both know you can act very differently.

If you are unwilling to consider the option of no AnimeCon for the sake
of AnimeExpo, I do not see why anyone in their right mind should have
to consider no AnimeExpo for the sake of AnimeCon.

There are total of 15 volumes. Each volume contains roughly 220 pages and 
costs 500 yen. However, Shogakukan will be releasing the deluxe hardcover
version of it sometime soon.

In any case, there is little doubt that this is one of the BEST
manga ever.

Hi. I had to speak up, because my real introduction to anime _was_ Crisis, and
I'm now, officially hooked. Not yet at Otaku status, but getting ther...8^)

Actually, my first introduction to japanese anime were the kiddified stuff like
Battle of the Planets and then Robotech many years later. And then there was the
brush with MegaZone and Dirty Pair of which I was only allowed glimpes by
certain tight-fisted types. 

However, recently, I was introduced to Bubblegum Crisis and I was _very_
impressed with the overall presentation of it. I'll have to agree that the plots
are less than sophisticated, but the 'slickness' of the artwork, and the very
impressive soundtrack combined to present a very good example of anime.

From BGC, I went on to discover Miyazaki. On the other hand, I have enjoyed
Dominion and Appleseed as well. (Ok, I didn't like Gunbuster....) but the point
is, anime _is_ wonderfully varied. And I'm an example of someone who got hooked
at the 'other end' of the spectrum.

Otaku and avid fans are different if you haven't figured it out by
now.  But then I don't blame you guys for not knowing, however 'otaku'
is an insulting word nowaday.  Of course, some people are proud to be
called Otaku and that's their choice.
