A Hard Day's Night
The past two years saw the growth of the EX
production department from a one-man HTML army
to a full-blown crew. But the addition of willing talent hasn't made
the workload any easier, muttered the HTML
Knife, as he reached for another soda and noticed the 12-pack carton was
almost empty. Didn't I buy this just yesterday?
Speaking of a growing production crew, it just gained a
bright-eyed, bushy-tailed
member, and an aspiring HTML Swiss Army
Knife-to-be. Always nice to have some fresh blood, noted the
HTML Knife, as he stifled a yawn and went
back to work.
GUNDAM 0080 Part II:
Cash in the Pocket
After a 10-minute snafu that had tapes advertised for sale at $10,
which in turn whipped up a frenzy and had even the stingiest of
fans opening their checkbooks, the
AnimeVillage website made
its official launch—with the correct price stickers on the tapes,
of course.
That GUNDAM is the main focus of
Bandai's USA presense was to be expected. But
it was with some amusement that the HTML Knife
noticed the section dedicated entirely to the sci-fi juggernaut, which
is being penned by no other than Gundam
Project maintainer Mark Simmons.
Such a sharp contrast from 2 years ago, when
GUNDAM in the USA
was but a rumor and a pipe dream! This former "Fan of Destiny"
wishes the best to Marlon and company at AnimeVillage.
Coming next issue...
EX wraps up its summer convention coverage with
coverage of Asamiya Kia and Takeuchi Naoko's appearance at Comic Con
International. And be here for an exclusive, in-depth one-on-one
interview with Kawamori Shoji.
And we'll also be resuming our in-depth
"A Look Forward, A Look Back" articles highlighting some of the best
anime series of the
past.
