Maybe it's more of an issue of reasonable doubt. People who believe he did those things do so on no real evidence of it, just as those who believe he didn't don't truly have evidence that he didn't. That's the whole point of a trial, if there's firm evidence to pin a crime on someone, than they go to jail, if there isn't they don't. As someone mentioned earlier, this isn't an OJ style issue with a history of domestic voilence, documented evidence, and a court trial that hinged more on racial issues then anything else. This is about a man who had his name ruined based on little more than conjecture from morally questionable people. Those hwo believed he was some weirdo because of the way he acted/dressed tend to believe he was a pedophile based on those parameters. Those who followed his career and accepted his quirks as just that, tend to believe he was innoncent of those actions. Personally, I fall into the catagory of the latter. If anything, had he been some normal guy who hung out with kids and had sleepovers, then yeah, I would be inclined to believe he was some demented pervert. Most (as there are acceptions to all rules) pedophiles aren't weirdo's who stand out in public, they're average Joe looking sports coaches, scout leaders, or bicycle shop owners who lull in Arnold & Dudley with candy, alchohol & pornography, then take pictures of them without their shirts on. They don't invite parents over to hang out with them too, build theme parks with crazy zoo animals, etc. A bit misguided? Yes, I think that was the whole point. but I believe more than anything, Micheal Jackson was someone who understood what it was like to have a childhood screwed with, so I honestly don't believe he would impose that on anyone else. I'm reminded of the whole matter of Paul Ruebens. Jeffrey Jones gets tagged for possessing child pornography, then makes a deal to help snag someone bigger, i.e. Paul Ruebens. So what happens? He stays over Paul Rueben's house under friendly pretences, uses "his" computer to download child porn, then turns him in for it. Who got tagged & dragged through the mud? Who walked away smelling like a rose?

And don't forget, without Micheal Jackson, emo kids wouldn't have anything to wear, nor would Cloud Strike, Kira Yamato, the list goes on!

You don't have to buy Basara, Basara doesn't care if you buy him or not, he'll sing to you and rock your heart regardless. -Guitar piloted Valkyrie is just a Valkyrie with an alternately styled control scheme, get over it. -No one ever died in battle due to Basara's singing, if anything, he protected lives by throwing another target out there. -No UN Spacy pilot could stop the Protodevelin, not even max with a bigass reaction missile, ONLY Basara could do it! When your enemy has a ibgger gun than you do, as well as the ability to take your biggest gun away from you and throw it right back into your backyard, no amount of fighting will save you. -You seriously act like you've never seen any anime outisde of Macross, faces on mecha are hardly uncommon, and your stance is an ninsult to the entire super robot genre, the most awesome passionate hot blooded genre of all!!! -You don't have to care about Basara, because Basara loves you no matter what you think, he's just that big a guy!!! -BOMBA!

OMG, the chairmen of kitchenstadium is the last man on Earth!

Exactly, Micheal Jackson may have been many things, a bit misguided at times, and a self inflicted victim of plasitc surgury, but to label someone a child molsester just because he had a huge target on his back that screamed "$$$" is complete bullsh!t. As far as me goes, I'll be watching my Japanese import DVD of Moonwalker, and hoping someone decides to release Captain EO on bluray with full 3D. Kudo's to a great musical genius, both in his younger years, and 80's pop heyday. It's just too bad we don't have real singers & artists anymore, at least domesticaly.

I'm waiting on Shikabane Hime until it's got a home release. Love Gainax, love the designs, and enjoyed the first 2 episodes I watched streaming, but it's definately something I'd rather watch on my television.

Meh, complaints about the PS3 version are pretty overblown. And I can't help but wonder if it's some fixable glitch due to some error with the install.

New episode news yet???

That title doesn't sound like the title of a one off movie though, it sounds more like a title that'd be used for a first half of a series. (be it 2 or so). Interesting choice.

And both were ressurected...hmm.

...no, youtube clips are more than e nough for me.

I've been thinking the same thing, come on Gonzo, jump on it! I'm really liking their "interpretations" of the classics, are there any others out now aside from Samurai 7, Count of Monte Cristo, & Romeo x Juliet? One interesting thing I've noticed, in a lot of shots, Romeo & Juliet bear a striking resemblance to the DYRL designs of Hikaru & Misa, so much so that I had to check to make sure Mikimoto wasn't on the character design staff.

Did anybody pick up Ghostbusters? Not terribly far in it, maybe just around half way, but I really like the movie feel that was put into it. Not since Evil Dead Regeneratio has so much actual movie character been put into a licensed game.

Too many wasted opportunities for fan service. Also a bit dissapointed in Oshii from borrowing too heavily from Yukikaze & Wings of Honneamise, without keeping any of the good bits. Definately a pretty movie, awesome dog fights, just needed a little more "oomph."

WTF are you guys talking about, Shadow Chronic? Is that some kind of sequal to Pinapple Express? Seth Rogan as Roy Fokker??

Entirely different animals. Sheryl is an Idol, Basara is an idealist. Basara was out to move mountains with his song, Sheryl was out to be, well Sheryl. Non sequitur comparison!

Sweet, thanks. Once I upgrade my heard drive, I'm also going to snag the import version of MGS 4, from what I hear, the Japanese players don't rely on glitches & lag switches to win, and have a much bigger community. I wonder how U.S. players are recieved there.

You know, watching The Sky Crawlers, and thinking back to Shin's F-14 in this game got me thinking. Why bother having just one non-transformable fighter in this game? Why not also have Roy's Dragon II! That's be soo freakin' sweet.

Go T-Rex, save us from Tim Burton! The time has come to scramble T-Rex Again!

Actually, Sad Sniper EX requires's accuracy with the sniper rifle in fighter mode Obviously it's easier at distances though.

Well F-15 pilot T-Rex agree's with me, and he can devour Raptor Jesus just as many times as he can ressurect.

Just finished Gankutsuou, and starting Romeo x Juliet.

At the very lead, I'd like a guide through the Japanese playstation store to find where it is

More importantly, why would Big West even have to consider working with HG? I still think Honneamise should have taken a stab at releasing the DYRL HD remaster before they went under, just to see what happened. We know HG is full of bark, but they've yet to actually make a case against anyone with a legit Macross license. Not teh Yamato issue was George Sohn sabotaging Yamato before he left to start up Toynami, there was no actual case brought against them.
