Sorry about bein' in the same city as that incident, dude. Maybe you can get some of that stress out by meetin' w/ T.H.E.M.. If it makes you feel you're not alone, some SOB gang-member just shot one of our deputies just a few days after the incident. Anyway, I've already given my two cents to the DGA thread, so I'm not bothering with an anti-Aronofsky rant here.

Brian, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I wish there were a secret sub-forum where you and Zac and Justin and a lot of other ANN staff discussed film.
Anyway, I think I need to ponder a while before I come up with something I "lust after, sinfully," lest it be something as mundane as Jojo's Bizarre Adventure DVD v04 or a Lamento figure or something. All those are something that are kind of ridiculously high-priced on eBay but I could easily buy if I would just cough up the money. Maybe I haven't been a fan long enough to suffer any really great regrets? P.S. A.C. Newman is one of the New Pornographers, right? Drunk Neko Case fangirls represent! |

I didn''t even realise that shooting incident was in Tucson. That must have been horrible
I second this notion. |

Should this be a veridical account of the openness with which anime fans expose themselves to the medium's breadth, I can only declare myself an anomaly in response to it. For all the anime for which I made an effort to consume over the last few years, my motive for consuming each was the foreknowledge that it was comparable in genre or subject matter to a title I already appreciated. I haven't given a "fair shot" to much else. In this respect, my pursuit of anime was motivated by a desire not to diversify my taste in anime but instead to merely feed it, with any broadening of my appreciative faculties being a mere side-effect. Though I previously thought such restrictions of habit to be a common phenomenon even within the domain of anime fans, this account suggests otherwise. |

Wow I am surprised no one mentioned Cybuster, the 26 epiosde series that was an anime insanely loosely based off of the SRW Gaiden game Lord of Elemental that basically just had the 4 mechas while completely removing all the characters except for a having them share names. Incredibly boring anime that doesn't understand what Super Robot Wars was all about, and you can still buy the first print run more than 5 years later due to selling about as much as Rumiko Takahashi Anthology.

Wow, what a misread without research. MB's recent changes in warehouses and their deal with Allegro ended up messing with their scheduled titles, not to mention their switch over to doing boxsets instead of singles. The last thing MB said was that they were working on Zetsubo-Sensei, so it should be solicited within the next few months. As for Lodoss War, John Sirabella admitted that they wanted to do a Blu-Ray release for the anime, but are on hold right now as they are looking for the absolute best masters they can get for the BD release. This was admitted a month or two ago. So if struggling means "dealing with issues until recently" then okay it's valid, but if sturggling means "trying to give something the absolute best release it can get" then I think the word needs a redefinition. |

The question about treating anime as a medium and not a genre strikes very hard to me after hearing some fans opinions here about not wanting to watch an anime that was different from the norm and rather watch another medium like live-action instead of wanting that genre in the medium of anime. If fans don't want to have diversity in genres for anime, I doubt some of those fans would want to experience those things outside of anime, sadly.

On the issue of watching anime in genres that one would not want a live action US work on the same genre.
I think it is more that the show being anime makes it easier to watch. for example, I don't care for live action romantic comedies made in the US. But I do enjoy live action romantic comedies made in Japan. There is more than the difference in media, there are approaches to the genre that make the works significantly different. The pacing, the interactions between the characters, and much more are different. I'm just glad I live in the San Francisco Bay Area were we have over the air broadcasts of subtitled Japanese TV shows or I would not be able to make such comparisons. |

 What does it say about me that I actually remember the "Princess Rogue" trailer? That definitely takes me back to my early days of being a fan...

Stay strong, Answerman.
... holy shit, other people remember Princess Rouge?! I actually bought the VHS a few months ago out of nostalgia for the advert, which incidentally I also saw on my Rayearth VHS tapes back in the day. Man, I shouldn't have sold that collection. |

Ha, I totally forgot about the bonus features that the Goemon DVDs had, and I even watched all of them. I supposed they dubbed it too since that's what you did with all anime back in the early 2000s.

I remember when "Doggy Poo" was released in the states, although I'm pretty sure it was animated in Korea not Japan.
Never-less, all the anime and animation magazines at the time were ogling over how many awards it had won at film festivals, so I figured to myself: "Why not? It looks kind of cute....." Now, if you think it's a stupid idea to licence such things over here, imagine actully WANTING to see it (as I did), and calling up every video store in town asking if they had "Doggy Poo". 
I still haven't watched it to this day....as interesting of a film as it seems, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find.....although I think I lost every shred of dignity I had left in my bones trying to find it.....

To my knowledge Naoki Urasawa indeed has assistants, like most mangaka. In Manga: Masters of the Art interviews pretty much every artist except maybe Suehiro Maruo and some other artist + CLAMP said they employed assistants and not all of them are in the same league in terms of fame as Masashi Kishimoto.
