Awww, poor Miaka. What's with all the hate towards her? I loved her! ^^;; Personally I find "INUYASHA!! KAGOME!!" to be more annoying.
Thanks for the fun ride, Zac. But you left us once before & came crawling back.  I am looking forward to Brian's take on the column, though.

*insert zombie joke*
Isn't that basically the idea behind this generation of people (I think it includes my generation, but who knows what those sociologists have categorized us into this time)? Having something to do with the development of the internet and other forms of media that make information incredibly easy and cheap to obtain? Bah, kids these days.

Aww that's too bad you're retiring from Hey, Answerman. I don't post in the forums much but I've been a fan of your column for over a year! Good luck and congratulations on being free!

I think that set of pictures pretty much sums it up
 !
I'm surprised Zac has written this column for as long as he has. I think it's good to change things up though. Good luck on your next project

I do recall a lot of griping about how even the box sets were expensive. Already saw FY on TV before getting one tape of fansubs. Not sure how hard or expensive it would be to get the Pioneer/Geneon DVDs now (not interested enough). Future Buried Treasure? |

In all complete, sincere, and most heartfelt honesty, I'm not really sad to see Zac go. I don't know the guy, so I can't say I hate him but, based on his internet personality, he's definitely not someone I personally enjoy. With that said, I wish him no ill will and hope that whatever he endeavors to do with his time, let it be gainful. Anyway, it's sad that anime clubs are dead in the water. I've never had a good experience with one but, I'm sure others have. I have to completely sympathize with Rankothefiremage...it's tough running a club when people's tastes vary so widely. It's also tough dealing with little turds who can't look beyond a year or two for their anime. Drives me bonkers...
 At any rate, I used to run my High School's anime club and had the same problem. Anything you put on, people bitched about it. That was back in 1997 or so but, it sounds like the more things change, the more they stay the same. Different time, different anime, same old snobbery and stupidity. *sigh*

I've never seen the show, but I think I knew instinctively (pretty boy + girl yelling at/for each other = I wonder?  )
As for the column: so much...raw...sarcasm this week. No better way for Zac to exit. I've truly enjoyed the column the past couple years, and it's sad to see you go. But, I'm sure Brian will have a fantastic time writing Answerman, so I'm greatly anticipating next week. Congratulations on managing to keep the hat on for all these years. |

It's possible. During those early years of my fandom, back when VHS tapes were still prevelent, I mostly kept to myself, as far as my fandom. This is back when people would buy those third generation DBZ fansub tapes with all the unnecessary swearing in it and hooked VCRs together to make fourth generations for their friends just so everyone could see how cool the Android Saga. Flame of Recca and Violinist of Hamelin tapes also flowed through the system. But me and the anime fans I knew didn't have nearly as high standards as the fans I know today. To wait a year for something to be released in R1 is now unfathomable for a lot of fans. At least back then, most of the fans I knew would have glady purchased legal copies of some of the anime they pirated if they could. But my memory of those early years gets a little fuzzy at times. I tried blocking out a lot of my middle school years for a lot of very good reasons. It's not as though I was part of the generation who first passed around tapes of Bubblegum Crisis.

I enjoyed this weeks Answerman probably more than any other I have read. Of course the pure honest sarcasm with no punches pulled is more my style than the usual tone. Anyway, way to go out on a high note.

I was hoping for a more churlish response after the buildup from the banner. Not poisoning the well before your new column would probably be bad form though I suppose.

I know. I totally would have expected Shinji Ikari to be the primary recipient of hate. I forgot to write mine. I totally would have flipped out over Emiya Shiro and how naive, stupid, and revoltingly sexist he is. Also, I would have included a brief paragraph about how everyone loves to hate Makoto Ito. |

Thanks for all the fun, Zac, I'm definitely going to miss your jaded sense of humor every week. Congrats to Brian though, can't wait to see what he brings to the column!

Goodbye for now, Zac. I'll miss you and your biting wit. And your kitten pictures.

so long and thanks for all the good times, especially the cute pictures.
Yeah times sure have changed since anime became more "mainstream" only a few years ago. I wonder how things will be in a few years.... hopefully less annoying characters/series to drive me crazy.... |
