Even without looking up her profile in the ANN Encyclopedia, it would be fairly easy to identify that Ikada-sensei is one of the two females at the center of the picture (one who doesn't even know Ikeda-sensei is female should not even participate the discussion). Just for the record, the other younger female in her 30s was the event host, and the two businessmen are the Japanese company representative and event director, respectively.
Which was why I uploaded the second photo, in which Ikeda-sensei was the only person sitting on a chair, while people around her are either standing or kneeling. I'm not sure how average Westerners would take on this, but anyone who has a bit of cultural awareness should realize immediately that the sitting person is a special guest/VIP, and if I couldn't recognize the individual yet expecting s/he is related to the discussion I'd at least fire up Google, Wikipedia, and ANN's Encyclopedia first.
Point taken. I'll try to lower my standards and expectations. |

Maybe you misunderstood me, I said "don't be a snot about it", not "please, continue to be a snot about it". |

No, it's really not explicitly clear that a sitting person is a special guest/VIP. Even then, the way you presented the pictures didn't make it clear. It just looked like you were showing some RoV cosplayers, not showing evidence of Ikeda + cosplayers. That's all. |

I too, would like to see what Myoopi's role in this story is.

Wow gotta give kudos for referencing an anime that's 30 years old that probably only 5% of anime fans have actually seen. I'd love to see it remastered and released on dvd here in the US.

Classics include lotz different things, I think most fans prefer the mecha starfleet + dragon magic sword classic over the knight and Princess classic. Anime is a diverse media it has everything in store for "everyone". |

Although you have presented a strong suggestion that she's okay with it, it's not proof. She might have agreed to have her picture taken with the cosplayers out of politeness, even though she may not like what they were doing. The "rumors' aren't "baseless". By definition they are very much otherwise. I have no idea what the truth of the matter is. -t |

Sending a message to WCS in order to disqualify a group of cosplayers just because she doesn't like them doing so, while praising another group of cosplayers out of politeness, even against her true feelings? I dunno... people can behave illogically, but this is just way too... disproportionate.
May I know who was the one announcing the disqualification of RoV cosplayers due to Ikeda-sensei's personal wish back in WCS 2005? At least I heard her praising cosplayers right from her own mouth at TIBE 2008, even if it might be just out of courtesy.
Guess only Ikeda-sensei knows (shrug). |

I have to say, I am hoping that Myoopi shows up as a horse in the next strip. Can you just imagine how strange he could/would be as a horse? Imagine Nina, all serious as a fighter, riding away into the sunset on top of a giant white lump of lard. That would be such a memorable end. Of course, Myoopi could subvert my expectations, and appear as a magnificent stallion that has everyone gasping.
It would appear (to a westerner like myself) that you think highly of her. And you know what? That's fine by me. I confess to having zero knowledge on Manga/Anime history and key Manga/Anime figures. We younger generation just don't appreciate the hard work of those who went before us. Therefore, I am pleased that this week's strip (and the next one I presume) focused on a true classic. It's odd, in that I recognised that it was referencing RoV even though I've never watched a single episode of it, nor read the Manga. Talk about a win for the classics (and those that penned them). |

I like this one... it reminds me of the comic in which Nina get's scarred from a piece of plastic packaging jammed into her face, and it made her feel all heroic...
Excellent team effort! |
