Randall, welcome to the Leijiverse club, and damned if it isn't wild to hear "over the last four years" when talking about you, Nagisa, and I.

Count me in too. Funny thing about Galaxy Railways: it was the first Matsumoto title I'd ever seen. After that, I just went hog wild for anything with his name on it. I now own damn near every one of his titles available in North America. To be honest, though, I really don't know what I like so much about his work (aside from his artistic style). Nothing really stands out as GREAT, yet I always find myself enjoying his works more than most. |

The real question is, are we all still going to be doing this 10 years down the road? |

As I recall, few of the jokes (in the anime) relied on clever dialogue, so that's not much of an issue. I watched the first 3 episodes fansubbed and couldn't bring myself to watch any more of it. Both Disgaea 1 and 2 are for PS2. Nippon Ichi (the developer for the game) is infamous for it's games' insane level cap. The maximum level is 9999, and the optional bosses, from what I hear as I have never gotten to them, pretty much require you max out your levels and your equipment. |

Well, been a fan for 16years, posting for almost 5, I suppose that the answer for me is yes so long as Tempest keeps the boards running and none of the mods get too tired of me. 
Also makes me glad to have a loving girlfriend, because as the ages get younger and the outfits get skimpier at conventions, by that time it'd open up all sorts of problems for a 32year old otaku! |

From what was reviewed, I'd have to say that Galaxy Railways is the only thing that catches my interest. I caught a few random episodes of it on the FUNi channel some time ago. It's hard to say what it was that interested me. The episodic style of the series? The way the content was executed? Perhaps both. With the release of the box set, I'll probably pick it up sometime this May (when I start working again).

My wishlist is very massive as well. Got a lot that I want to get my mits on, including Galaxy Railways and others. I'm just waiting for boxed sets on most of this stuff.  I wish I owned everything. Heheh... the other problem is that I'm the world's worst critic since I enjoy pretty much everything (even the loathed SD Gundam Force, if you can believe that).

I started posting on a Savage Dragon messageboard back in 1998, and I'm still in regular contact with probably 2 dozen or so guys that I've met on there, many of whom I've since met in real life and become close friends with. So it's not unheard of. |

I'd love to have a basement so my anime collection could spread out a little. Right now it has to sit piled top to bottom & front to back of the bookcase because I don't have the extra space available for more shelving. Maybe one day when my kids grow up, move out & I can commandeer their rooms. ^_~

But at least there was finally space between the pics and the words so that the latter were legible.
Yes.
The second or third time this happened to me was when I just gave up on and went back to the tried and true "is it on the shelf or in an order" method.
This is a great internal debate of mine on whether it is a good or bad thing. Current rationalization is that if there isn't as much left I want to get, and that I won't rack up another *cough*hack*something* year with them alone, it is good enough.
Nope, not of anyone with eyes or ears. I'm hard pressed to think of anything I've turned off and given up on faster (that wasn't at least partially due to missing an episode and refusing to skip ahead.) |

I've been talking about anime on the internet for about as long as anime has been on the internet (was a fan for many years before that) back in the days when most of us used out real names. I was a regular poster on rec.arts.anime during it's formative years and according to this link http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.anime.info/browse_thread/thread/3bc28fa2f80e68ea/5461319d04a23ca1?lnk=st&q=Randall+Miyashiro+rec.arts.anime&rnum=16&hl=en#5461319d04a23ca1 I was amongst the first page of frequent posters between 1992 and 1997, even though I stopped posting by 1994. Wow, this reminds me of the days with so many familiar names like Animeigo's Robert J Woodhead, Anime Expo's Mike Tatsugawa, Gundam scholar Tonghyun Kim, Fan Subber William Chow, busy pro translator Neil Scott Nadelman, Translator (who I bumped into a couple of times last year in SF) Egan Loo and many others who made their professional mark in the industry. A good number of us knew each other from the 80s and the internet was a great way for the few anime fans (the type who would watch the untranslated imports) to keep in touch since there were so few of us. It's always nice to run into people from those first internet days, although I don't keep in regular contact with any of them. |
