I see someone has been visiting Ex-Astris.

I find it rather ironic that the siluette of the Akiraprise is included on the cover of an encyclopedia about starships of the 24th Century.

Why is it that I'm more interested in the chick on the bike than the bike itself? [Big Grin]

I saw this fanzine at the ST mini convention two in Japan last month.

EAS was indicated as a bibliography site in the end page of the fanzine.

I was thinking the same thing Mike... she's pretty cute.

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

I thought she was cute too - maybe it's that she's a good looking girl - actually getting into something - and enjoying - Trek-related!?!

Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :

Maybe it's that she's payed to pretend she's enjoying something Trek-related.

Well, duh, given that she works for Paramount Home Entertainment Japan.

I need her number. Now.

And the number of someone who can teach you Japanese, presumably.

Shaped more like Voyager than the Enterprise.

Do you know anyone, Liam?

Diffrence?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Well, unless you want to compare just about everyone who has ever appeared in any incarnation of "Star Trek" ever to prostitutes...

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :

Well I already do....

I know some people who think that saying "Kawaii" and "Kuso" makes them hardcore Japanese culture dudes.

So no.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

And they insist on watching everything with subtitles. Including stuff that was originally in English. Because they are...Otuka!

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

You mean Otaku? (well, I've heard that word around before)

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

No. Or yes. Maybe.

Bejita rules!

Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :

Retards. It depends on the anime. F'r instance, I prefer to watch Uchu Senkan Yamato with subtitles because the dubbed version is awful. The dialogue for the American version (called Star Blazers) is better, but too many things about the story are altered, so there it is...

Same thing with Ranma�. Just to give you an idea of the low regard I hold for the translation, the actual title is "Ranma Nibun-no-Ichi", which means "Ramna Two-Parts-of-One" -- not "Ranma One-Half"!

On the other hand, Pioneer has a wonderful in-house English-dubbing team that does excellent translations of context (rather than just word-for-word transliterations) and even has English voice actors who sound like the original Japanese voice actors. I highly recommend the Tenchi Muyo! OVA series...

And at the opposite extreme of the first title I listed, I prefer the American rewrite called Robotech over the three separate series it was made from (even though I skip The Robotech Masters/Southern Cross).

I hate dabblers.

P.S. Watching anime does not make one a hardcore culture dude by any means, but it can open up the potential to become one. Of course, by the time you become one, you no longer care about being one. Still, I only spent two years in Japan. I needed at least one more...
