Seeing all this BS that is going on, I felt I should put MY 1 cent in!
Having friends on both sides of the Anime Con/Expo politics THANG, it
just makes me SICK seeing friends hurting each other. 
For me I am VERY neutral and I respect everybodys oppinon of how they
feel, but this is going WAY TOO FAR! 
I feel like I have to go down to the Bay Area and go down and grab
all who are involved and get them to talk it out face to face.
I don't REALLY think you would want me to do that (If you have meet me
you would understand why :-) )!
It good that you are up front about this situation, but it's not going to
be solved if it's not face to face, so you know what you are up against.
PLEASE! Mike, Brin and Dave! If it takes me to go down there to get you
guys to get together to end this BS then I would do that!
I REALLY HATE that this is happening and I and everybody else in anime
would like NO LOVE to see this settled. I am very concern,they way things
are, that something will all go to hell and anime will never be teh same
here in the U.S.. PLEASE! I ask that you all get together and settle it
liek adults that you are. A lot of people who has brought anime up to
where it is, does not want to see it destroy by a misunderstanding.
I might not have all the facts straight, but I DO WANT THIS SETTLED and
I want things to be (at least) a tad normal again. I might be asking too
much, but don't HURT the ones you love.
That's all I have to say!
THANK YOU!

>What exactly is "Otaku no Video"?????

Otaku no Video 1982 and Shin (new) Otaku no Video 1985 are two
OVA's from Gainax (of Nadia and Honneamise fame) that are thinly
disguised parodies of the history of the company.  It's the
story of a couple of guys who get into fandom, start a company,
build it into a huge conglomerate, get it stolen by the bankers,
start another company, and basically turn everyone in the world
into anime fans.

Most of the original Gainax people appear in the film as
characters.  There are also a number of live action "interviews"
with alleged Otaku (faces fuzzed so they won't lose their
jobs)

All in all, it's the ultimate animation fan film.

This is the first movie.  THere are a total of 3 movies.  IMHO, I love

that the two KOR people are watching in their own movie.

It's a pity that they only have Season 1 out.  If anyone knows anyplace

Summary: AnimeWhateverCon'93

For people out there talking about "For Profit" And "Non-Profit"
Conventions and blaming one Convention for Being Profit
and Blessing another for Being Non-Profit. Here is some information.

Most Non-Profit Conventions take the Profit from the Convention
and redirect it back into the Non-Profit Corp.

Most Profit Conventions Run BY FANS!!!! take the Profit from
the Convention and redirect it back into the Profit Corp.

My goodness they do the same thing.

Remember that just because a convention's Corp is For-Profit
does not mean that it is not run by FANS!!!! 

Most Conventions are Non-Profit but they at times have to be
so careful in fear of lossing their Non-Profit Status with
the IRS.

While most Non-Profit Conventions do donate some money to Charity 
because the have Charity Events. They do not donate the bulk
of the money earned from members and dealers since that would be
stupid because they would have no ability to get assets or
extra money to get the Better Guests.

Again What I mention above is just information as I see it and
am trying to stop the flaming of the Animation Conventions while
they are trying to work out their differences.

Please stop taking sides publicly on the Net with The Two 
Animation Conventions on the West Coast. We are trying
to work things out on our side and when that is done 
Greg Scalan / Callahan will annouce the results.

Thanx in advance. We will have something to tell you soon.

Ryuichi Sakamoto was Lieutenant Yonoi in that movie, playing opposite David

Hello.  As I mentioned before, I'm putting together a package to send   
to people who are just being introduced to anime, to explain what it 
is and where they can get it.   
 
As part of the package, I need to provide a brief description of what
exactly anime IS.  I figured that the experts in this field would know
more than I, so I am asking you to help me.  
 
I need a brief, one or two paragraph description of what anime is, from
any of you who care to reply (via E-MAIL, please).  I will take the best
of these, put them together, and send them out.  I can also post them to
rec.arts.anime afterward, too.

So, send them in, okay?  Otherwise, I would just have to quote from

Nah, I think Hiroshi is just a little hyper-sensitive.  Remember when
you were in the 7th grade, and you got super offended when someone called
you a "fag?"  You should have known better then to get so peeved, but
you didn't.  You were still developing your sexual identity, and you knew
that you "shouldn't" be homosexual.  Now, if someone called you a fag,
it would be next to meaningless.   Either you are or you arn't. 

I think Hiroshi is a little uncomfortable with his involvment with anime
and computers.  (Read his .sig.)  He doesn't want to become an otaku by
his definition, and he probably feels bad when his non-anime friends see
his hobby as a little weird.

Yes, but then the question becomes who foots the bill for all the beer
we need in order to get these people drunk enough that they agree to
run an anime convention.  8->

More seriously, it seems to me that anime fandom on the East Coast is more
spread out and less organized than it is in California.  For whatever
reason, there are no large, centralized pools of anime fans we can cajole
into running a con.  We have lots of little scattered clubs, but no one
big club who can get things rolling the way Cal-Animage has.

Also, there's the minor problem of where to hold an East Coast Con.
California makes sense on the West since it's like the anime Mecca of
the US, but we don't have anywhere really similar on this end, except
maybe NYC, but who wants a con there anyway?

I'm not ruling out the possibility of an East Coast AnimeCon (ECAC?) -
far from it, I *want* a Con around here!  But until we find some club
who volunteers to be the main ones in charge of it - and it doesn't
even need to be a con on the epic scale of AnimeCon, guys, it could be
small, like Project A-Kon - I think we're dead in the water.

[Of course, I would *love* for someone to prove me wrong...]

The 60 minute video is one of the two Crusher Joe OAVs - without a description
of it I can't give you a title.  The 100+ minute one is the Crusher Joe
movie - I don't remember if it has any other title.  The only Crusher
Joe anime out there is the movie and the two OAVs, as far as I know.

	I was thinking (yet again, broke the rule on non-thought)
of the reasons on why I goto cons.  The only thought was that I go 
just to sociallize.  

	I mean, there is the Dealers' room, "Business trip", and 
all that good sh!t.  But, that's not really the reason I go.......
(an associate went to MarCon and dropped +700.oo for pirated video
tapes and SPENT ALL HIS TIME IN THE DEALERS" ROOM at a TABLE FOR A
BUNCH OF D@MN FURRY ARTIST?!?!?!?!)...no, not even the dealers' room
is enough for me to goto these things (not even GoH...almost)

	I goto these con for the sociallization.  Where else could 
you go and be among "old" friends that you had NEVER met before?!
Where else coudl a person go and play "dress-up" and not be a social
"outcast" by the mundanes?

	We, Otakus, has gotto stick by one another.  We need a placer
that we coudl goto once a year and just party....no cares...no worries

	The thought of FAN BONDageING, as mentioned in a previous
posting, illustrate my point to the tee......just hope that Mike and
Dave could merge their CON/EXPO/FEST/GET-TOGETHER/SHIN-DIG/POW-WOW/
FIASCO in order.  

	(I just hate to miss out on some GoHs at one Con and while 
attending/volunteering the other....a very SELFISH reason?!)
