   > Good Lawd, man... lemme give you a list of stuff to watch BEFORE that...   
   don't let anyone show you "Aikira" for your first Anime experience,   
   either... you'll never watch it again.   
      
   Hehehehe. I almost bought Akira... glad I haven't yet. I have seen some   
   Anime though (Demon City, The Iria cartoons that set the basis for the 2   
   live action Zeiram movies, Vampire Hunter D, some Dragonball and Dragonball   
   Z, a little Gundam Wing....)   
      
   > Yes, the price of the medium is quite expensive as a habit... I quit   
   drinking six years ago and now my living room isn't full of empty bottles   
   it's full of Anime DVDs...   
      
   Congrats on quitting drinking.... strange how getting rid of one addiction   
   brings about another isn't it?   
      
   > Try something like "Hellsing" or "Cowboy Bebop" before you get to "Neon   
   Genesis: Eva"... they're a bit easier to follow... I don't have anything   
   against the two other titles, I just think they're better taken in once   
   you've gotten your feet wet.   
      
   Hmmm... I shall try and dabble in these anime titles a bit.... I'm sure I   
   know someone who has them.   
      
   > Any time a figure looks as if it's been put into a high gravity field   
   (squashed), most figure collectors call that "Deformed"... it's not an   
   insult... are you into Gundam at all?   
      
   Ah ok.. yes they are deformed in that respect. Not really into Gundam,   
   watched about a dozen episodes of it on TV, maybe more. It's been quite a   
   while.   
      
      
   > What am I asking? Of course you aren't... if you WERE you'd have an   
   overflowing Anime section by now... sorry... I, as has been stated elsewhere   
   on the internet, am an idiot.   
      
   Hahahahaha. No worries, I find that asking stupid questions is a great way   
   to lighten the mood and make friends. lol.   
      
   > I've been having the hardest time getting some younger folk to understand   
   that the new series on Cartoon Network called "SD Gundam", which involves   
   Gundam robots which have been squashed to the size of children (and often   
   irritatingly interact with children) stands for "Super-Deformed"... it's   
   just the moniker given to such character treatments.   
      
   That is... well.... ODD!   
      
   > All that aside, I like the '74 MG figure, but I'm completely freaky over   
   this newest one... that's why I asked... also, I guess I'd have to say that   
   "Gvs.MG93" has been my favorite G film for the longest time, up until when I   
   saw this most recent film, that is... Sorry for the long-winded   
   explaination!   
      
   No problem. Yes I heard the new Mechagoji is a supremely cool sight. The   
   damned thing is a playable character on the X-BOX Destroy All Monsters Melee   
   (Gamecube Exclusive my ASS! Still it's a fun game... almost got all the   
   pictures in the kaiju gallery).
