Hey, Answerman! [2007-08-03]

What exactly do you mean by this? It sounds like you've fallen into the trap of believing a stereotype.

Also, just for personal curiousity, how the hell do 8 people even fit into a most hotel rooms? I feel cramped in a hotel room with just one other person. Also, don't the hotels have rules against having that many people in a room? (Wouldn't it qualify as some sort of fire hazard?)

The rant:

Hmmmm.....A con that doesn't say those things smell worst. A con that do smells less. A con that gives out free axe samples is PERFECT! I mean college get 'em all the time. How hard could it be. I agree with cons putting it out there.

For the record, I never said he was Republican, just that he had this sort of thing on his site. That accompanied by the Spider-man font bible quotes kinda makes me think he just might be one, though. It's not too big a leap to make but you never know.

I see. Actually that banner is pretty funny. And I can understand the thought that Christian usually =Republican, but like Zac said, you never know. Maybe he just doesn't like Al Gore. I'm not trying to miss quote you though Zac and if I am/did, sorry, I'm not trying too. Back to anime. Apparently at Comic Con Matt Greenfield said there was some progress with the live action Eva. Anybody have any idea what it is?

Yeah, it has been, but more because they are sticking an M rating on it now and so it couldn't be in the magazine anymore. I'm still not entirely sure what deserves said rating, but I would still say that it's one of the more popular titles under the Shoujo Beat line.

And the magazine is flowery but I think that that's actually rather funny.

Here in Canada, we make fun of all politics wheather we like them or not. He could like Al gore, just thought this was funny. Meh, who cares if he's right-winged and religious, everyone has their own beliefs and opinions.

I work at a hotel, and we do have rules about how many people can stay in a room. People get around this by just sneaking all their extra people in. They may think they're clever but they should know that if the staff finds out about the extra people they will:

1) Kick you all out of the room

2) Call the police

3) Charge your credit card for that amount of people. If you said you had 3 people in the room and you actually had 6, you can expect to pay at least $200 dollars more per night than you were quoted. And don't think you can get around this by paying cash, since any reputable place will insist on having a credit or debit card number on file, no matter what you pay.

Yes, I'm Canadian too, but while I'm fine with folks' beliefs and opnions, one thing we should all refuse to tolerate is poor website design, like Vic's.

Sheesh, Sony should sue him over that font ....

I'm sorry to break it to you, but the lyrics of fansub karaokes like those are usually unreliable at best, in my experience at least. I have seen precious few (if any) that don't have errors on the Japanese side.

i'll say this right now: Viz is taking a FAR bigger risk on Nana. i mean they are pushing it to a market they already saturated with shounen staples. i can't even imagine how they plan to promote this.

Now that it has the mature rating, they won't have to do any editing. I think it's fabulous.

The editing has been minimal though, and only in the magazine, not the separate volumes. I guess I'll just need to read them when they come out and remind myself what happens in those volumes, because I still can't think of anything that would warrant a M (except for one scene in one volume). Even with the issues mentioned that it deals with, it really doesn't have anything worse than what you can see on Degrassi.
