Good article, and I learned a few things. But, I think they need to hire a better researcher. I found a few errors.
Priss heads the band, which comprises of Male Members. However, in the Hurricane Live 2032 Music Video compilation, the girls do head a band ironiclly enough, called the Knight Sabers.
The GITS movie, manga, and GITS: SAC/SAC 2nd Gig are based in New Port City, which is also the name of where Dominion/New Dominion Tank Police reside (under the spelling of Newport City). Also, Poseidon Industrial/Industries is Shirow's "Megacorp" entity (Like OCP in the Robocop Franchise) thru not only GITS and Dominion, but also links to his Intron Depot series of books (Bullets and Ballistics) and his Galhound series of mini-comics. Furthermore, characters in GITS, Dominion, Appleseed, and other Shirow works uses his brand of weaponry, manufactured by Seburo. Seburo is suggested by some writings that it's an arm of Poseidon Industrial. Eh, nobody's perfect, I guess. |

I shall have to go find AI.
But good job! The BGC error was horrible. But from my experience, there is a lot of info in mags that are written by people that hold some sort of degree and know nothing of what they are talking about. I despised NewType as soon as it came out for numerous such obvious errors is every issue. Its like the writers read a blurb and then try to write an article on it =.= |

Where might this list be found? Got any links?
EDIT: the "AI" abbreviation didn't click in my mind...I should be able to find it at Best Buy or somewhere, thanks. Last edited by Zalis116 on Tue May 09, 2006 10:10 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You'll have to buy the issue of Anime Insider. Unless someone decided to copy everything onto a blog or something.

I found two personally. 75. Piece of the Action (One Piece volume 24) contains the beginning of a new story arc, after the conclusion of the epic Skypeia storyline... Volume 24 started Skypiea, it didn't end it. 92. Robot Prototypes (The robots looked familiar) to fans of the Miyazaki-helmed second Lupin the 3rd TV series from 1971... Miyazaki helmed the first Lupin TV series; the second was from 1977. It was a fun article though. I enjoyed it! |

Should I admit to being in first grade of Otaku school? I am far too ignorant to know if so many things are true or not. But, as it seems there are a few errors, I hope I don't learn wrong. That is so much harder to fix.
Will you put up a list of all errors, so us Otaku wannabes get it right the second time? |

Then they probably meant to say "the epic Alabasta storyline. i was confused to, because Skypiea went at least to thirty, but i put it out of my mind. |

I cut out after the ..., which stated "Where the Straw Hat pirates travel to an island in the sky." The "after the conclusion" was the typo. |

I was suprised at the omission of the "can't have too many ethnicities" rule. Also the "can't have too many African-Americans" rule was not on it.
Interesting anyway, to say the most. |

I don't get why it seems to be the common mission to happily jump up and down with excitement every time you find a mistake in a print publication. The BGC error isn't "horrible", it's just a mistake. It happens in every print publication known to man. You won't find a single magazine or website out there that doesn't make mistakes; they're made by humans, not infallible robots. Also, you may have assigned yourself the role of being final arbiter in what makes a good article and what doesn't, but those "people who have a degree and don't know what they're talking about" are not at all what you think. It's very easy to sit back at your leisure and nitpick every last tiny mistake and then stomp all over the people who wrote it while proclaiming yourself superior, but I doubt you realize how arrogant and ridiculous you come across. Given that you can't even seem to write an internet message forum post that isn't rife with spelling and grammar errors, somehow I doubt a magazine published by you would be worth reading in the first place. |

I actually enjoyed the article. Yeah, there were a few mistakes, but the mistakes weren't as bad as some people infer.
For example, the whole replicants thing, its obvious which band they're talking about, just the part of "the girls play in" as opposed to "Priss plays in" was the mistake. Anyways, IMHO all in all it was a good article but maybe should have been checked over once more by a "fact checker." I do understand how productions schedules oftne make that hard to impossible though. -t |

I am just glad there are people here, who will "set the record straight." I would have stored "wrong" information, and where would I be then? hate when I am arguing a fallacious point, as I had false information.
OT, I have read too many "science" reporters works which showed they know so little about science. They would have us ban Dihydrogen oxide, as it is used in nuclear plants, chemical manufacturing, and the petroleum industry. Hint, it is H2O. So far, the AI writers, at least show thier love for anime. Love equalling interest and insight. |

I bring up an incident to dispute this. In a previous issue of AI (a couple of months back?), Summer Mullins replied to a letter pointing out the errors made in an Initial D article about the specifications of the cars (politely it appears; possibly edited for clarity and length). Her response (or the gist of it) was "Ho-Hum, next letter." Now I dunno about AI, but at least Newspapers and some Magazines have the courtesy of admitting that they made a mistake if pointed out and rectify it by printing corrections in the paper or a future issue. Mullins response was nothing more than lazy and irresponseable at least, and at the worse makes AI look like it has a few unprofessional journalism issues that need to be worked out. I think you might need to look in house first before you start accusing some snot-faced anonymous on the interweb for being an "elitism whore." |
