My theory is that most of the people who watch the raws already love the show to pieces...the nattering nabobs of negativity don't show up until the subs start coming out, and this one's been later than most in that regard.

Any DVD store in Japan...

I think that only happens when there are nearby tuna buns...

1. Go to your controls and edit avatar settings...the avatar is the one that shows up in the posts. 2. They're based on post count...as for what they mean (if anything), we aren't sure. JB0 is all the way up to "BOMBA!" but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Soon enough, I'll be going to the Sharon Apple concert. Also, if the mods like you or hate you enough, you can get a custom title...but most people don't like the ones they get.

SARCASM, anyone? There are TONS of animes with weak endings, of course. But I don't think Eva is one of them.

They're trading cards!

I'm curious about that, too...especially since the First Half appears to be nowhere on the net...but I ordered it, and it should be arriving soon. I read a synopsis of the story, though, and it didn't sound too promising...we'll see, however. Don't thank me yet! I've only posted the first six minutes of a 48-minute album! There's still a lot to go...

That Isaac Hayes was one mean mother-

Too late! Unfortunately...

Sheryl Superposable™...?

Well, since my hard drive went down a few weeks ago and I lost some of my translations, I've been trying to re-transalte everything at once, and here's the first fruits of my labor...Macross Vol. III - Miss DJ. I'm posting it here because this way, I'm pretty sure it will be safe should something happen to my new hard drive...and I'd like to get people's comments on it. It's a fun album, but it can be pretty dull if you don't understand Japanese, so I'm hoping that this translation will open it up for all you nice, intelligent Macross fans (and MisaForsaken). I'll post Miss DJ first, and possibly Macross Love second (although I may just post that to boinger directly, since he requested it quite a while ago), but let me know what you what you want to see most, and I'll tackle that next. Enjoy! NEXT: We find out that Minmay has short, thick legs and likes to eat pig's feet.

That was good, too. The shower scene was also rather pleasant.

No, I did go back and re-read it. I basically agree, but I guess I just thought your wording was a little too strong. Either way, you're right...it's a debate not worth having ("Robotech: Lame Edits or THE LAMEST Edits?" ).

Nanase's forbidden desire for Ranka. (You knew I'd say that, didn't you? )

I have. The hotel I stayed at in Tokyo last time shut its doors at 25:00...mostly it's used for TV listings, but there are other uses, as well.it seems pretty common in Japan. That said, I have no idea why...overall, it's pretty confusing.

I know! All this time, I thought the pronouncement came from the Hory Froating One himself, and although I could never find WHERE he said it, I never doubted that he did. Man, I feel played.

What the...? I walked in and ASKED them about the binder...they looked it up on-line, and told me point blank that they couldn't get it. <_<

I agree completely. Plus, Mao would appear be a person of some import on the fleet...why would her granddaughter be living in the slums?

No...they said they couldn't order it. So I asked one of my friends in Japan to get it and mail it to me. Not the easiest way to do it, I know...

Yeah...single-handedly defeating most of the angels and (depending on how you look at it) eiher defeating or fulfilling instrumentality are certainly loser-ish, aren't they?

But he DIDN'T make that comment...some game promoter did. Look a few posts back.

"Damn you, game promoter"...?

Well, I'll be...we've been blaming the Froating Head for nothing, all this time...

I read what you wrote carefully, thank you very much. I guess i shoudln't have used your word "infantilized," because I was mostly referring to this: And as I said, I agree with most of what you said, but it was certainly not re-edited or re-written like a typical American cartoon. They could have gone the "Sta Blazers" route and say that all the Valkyries desroyed were robot-controlled. They could've said that Focker "was sent back to earth for medical care," like "Sven" in Voltron. They could've pulled a "Battle of the Planets" and re-edited the episodes that the original story was completely absent from the finished product. And, even compared to Macross, I wouldn't call it infantilized. Robotech is PG to Macross's PG-13. It's a small point, and mostly a question of degree, but there are FAR more atrocious edits of Japanese shows out there.

I think it's just "uma," not "U.M.A."
