Re: You convention story?

I got to sit in on some panel sessions at CactusCon 87 (The NASFiC since the WorldCon was out of country). The panel sessions were on Anime. Torin Smith was also on one of them. We had a good time talking about Nausicaa and similar anime. However, the highlight was seeing Laputa on the big screen at...

Re: The CompuServe Anime and Manga Forum

I should also add that most of the core group of people on the CompuServe Anime & Manga Forum now stay in contact on Facebook and hang out in a few of the anime groups there. Even members that left the CompuServe forum to hang out on the Newsgroups now have ended up on Facebook as well. The int...

Re: Nothing of Consequence

You are ALWAYS good enough. Always. All Anime needs fans. It is very selfless - it doesn't care what your income is, or what you do for a living. It just appreciates being appreciated. You shouldn't care what other people think about you. Be comfortable with who you are. You are special - one of a k...

Re: Some observations and questions about 80s cartoons

I know this hasn't been hot since June (kind of a necro-bump), but I thought I'd provide some insights I got from writers when I ran the Comic and Animation forum on Compu$erve: From the writers of Wheeled Warriors (which was pretty much the status quo in those days: It isn't a direct quote, but wha...

This was before there were translations available. I still remember going to WindyCon in Chicago, and meeting the late...

Re: The CompuServe Anime and Manga Forum

Interesting. Mostly factual. I am (was) George the Sysop that founded the Comic and Animation Forum on Compu$erve back in the day. (76703,2015) And the last name got a bit mangled - it's Wilhelmsen, but hey for something that happened in the late 1980's - not bad. I spun it off of the Science Fictio...
