Re: Netflix cancels LA Cowboy Bebop

You could sense something between Fearless and Julia - some strong itch that needed to be scratched - BAD. The twist at the end was tough to take, but you have to consider the environment Julie existed in. Vicious was willing to put a gun to her head and pull the trigger. Can you imagine (even in An...

Re: Netflix cancels LA Cowboy Bebop

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Damn you, Netflix. God damn you (Netflix) all to hell!

That didn't last long - I just streamed the whole series in a few days. It was better than Lost in Space - that's for sure.

Re: "Where's the meeting this week?"

Lamba Mu (moo) was from Revenge of the Nerds. LOL.

That was a nice play on words.

Still, where is the meeting this week? Do we need to bring back a Chat System so we can dish on anime?

Re: "Where's the meeting this week?"

Our "club" met in the chat section of Compu$erve. They called it a "CB simulator" which was an attempt to link to a known technology, which was not the right way to go, since the chat section was so much better. We didn't have physical locations (or problems with people being new...

Re: Sexism in early anime fandom

What seems to be missing here is a general understanding: fandom (whether it is Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Anime) is cliquy. Is that even a word? Anyway, when you are new, you are labeled a "Neo" or "Noob" or whatever delightful putdown someone has for someone finding their way...

Re: What are you Watching?

You definitely get a vibe that "Fearless" and "John Wick" are close cousins.
