Hmmm. How about this:

The back of the shirt looks like a generic computer monitor, with a picture
on it of Eve sitting at a computer with (surprise) the same kind of monitor.
On that monitor is a picture of Eve sitting at a computer with (yet again) the
same kind of monitor, and continuing ad infinitum, like what happens when a 
camcorder videotapes it's output. 

On the front breast we have a little SD version of the same monitor, with 
a little SD picture of Eve's head in it. Slogan/motto goes on both sides.

This is a mild rip-off of one of the designs in the running for the next UT
anime club tshirt, except that design (by chunger@ccwf.cc.etc) has a generic
Gundam-esque head on the back, with a woman in a generic BGC-esque hardsuit
flying next to it, with SD versions of both the babe and the mecha on the 
front breast. 

A r.a.a. motto? "Flamewars and killfiles, serving in the name of anime 
fandom everywhere." :>

Join an anime club!  Anime Hasshin (among others) has a list of tape
traders that will copy non-licensed anime for you.  Many local clubs
also do the same.  There is no reason to pay pirates for copies.
besides, if an anime fan pays a pirate for a copy of something, they
are less likely to purchase an original copy later on, feeling that
they shouldn't have to pay twice.

Not quite so.  I have gotten things from my comic store for less than the
source.  The only time I order direct is if AnimEigo has those pre-order
discounts with free shipping.  USMC I don't know, and for USR, sure the
membership discount is good but the shipping prices are horrendous!  Don't
forget that sometimes Canada Customs checks the package and slaps their duty
and GST on top of it.  Oh well.  You just have to be lucky.  I know I got
slapped with a $40 tax for my order of BGC tapes from AnimEigo!

  Actually, I got it in North Carolina while visiting UNC at Chapel Hill.
A store called Second Foundation Bookstore (Rosemary St.)  Inside the 
box is a reply card the video company wants you to send back with info 
on what you like, etc., so I'm inclined to think its legit.  There is, 
however, an additional anomaly:  There is only one label on the tape, it 
is on the large side.  The usual (I presume) label on the long thin side 
is absent.  I wonder if this means anything (besides the company being 
cheap).  I've never bought any kind of video before, and didn't really 
know what to expect when it came to buying an anime tape, since I figured 
they'd be a bit unusual anyway.
  Anyone else ever experience such a thing?

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Folks, this is what's known as "stereotyping", and more or less responsible
for a lot of the most annoying arguments I've ever heard from people on both
sides of the pro/anti-anime fence.

A lot of anime fans seem to actively dislike Disney.  A lot less (in my
experience) Disney fans actively dislike anime.  But of all the people I know
and meet, the vast majority, if exposed to both, appreciate the merits of
both.

Pardon me for getting a bit obnoxious here, but I've been running through
several  "Disney/American animation vs. anime" arguments on Fidonet, Usenet,
and a few local boards for the last two years because I think it's one of the
silliest things in the world.  The anime diehards should realize that Disney
fans are not necessarily mindless zombies who don't know better, and the
diehard Disney fans (of which, as I said, there seem to be considerably less)
should realize that anime has a lot of diverse storylines.

Those of us who appreciate many different kinds of animation from around the
world would rather hear more rational discussion and less useless
stereotyping.

(Got that off my chest.  I'll sit down now.)

My latest copy of Nikaku Animart's catalog has Honneamise listed in their
LD section followed by a "TV format" comment in parantheses!  What IS
this "TV format" supposed to mean?  Isn't Honneamise a movie anyway?
BTW, the title was actually listed as "Wings of Oneamisu."  I'm assuming
they misspelled Honneamise... we are talking about the same
movie, right?  As a final note, the total time is listed as 119mins.

Japanese and English epithets don't map to each other nicely, and much
has to be inferred from the tone of the speaker.  However, in UY,
there are two basic epithets that crop up all the time:

Baka	idiot,moron,stupid,jerk,etc.
Aho	the same except stronger.

	I hate to interject a drop of "reality" hear again, but I think
the real point of it is that while Robotech tends to cater to roleplaying
technoweenies, Star Trek tends to have power levels fluctuate with the
plot and makes up numbers and specs. for tech manuals when they are
printed.  Ie: ST worries more about a consistant EPISODE than a consistant
series.  Furthermore, no TV show/movie I've ever seen has really been
beyond "cheating".

	That's why the Enterprise-D can be disabled out by Ferengi while the 
original Enterprise took hits from the Doomsday weapon that was able to
split full-sized planets.

	Don't you feel kinda silly argueing about nitty-gritty specs on a 
show where humanoids can dodge a close range phaser blast AFTER it's
been fired?

That is very noble of you Mr. Kong.  

I am sure that everyone who owns an official copy of RoLW is very pleased 
with you.  Everyone else with bootlegged copies will just have to go
somewhere else.  But that your efforts probably won't 
thwart a motivated pirate. 


What is really unfortunate is that your efforts prevent more people from
enjoying the movie.  If more people enjoy it then more will be willing to
pay for an official copy.  

In a way you are promoting a "Japanimation for the 
Japanese" attitude since only fluent speakers could follow the 
story exactly without scripts.  I would think that 
in an english
translated format it would sell well in the US.  I don't know
why the creators (whoever they are) don't try to capitalize
on it.

I am sure this subject has been beaten and slain so please don't 
post any follow-ups.
