Well, he's totally Shalooming, isn't he?

God, Pete, stop being such a Shaloom!

I love how the "Nyan Dra" back covers kinda/sorta echo the cover of "Miss D.J."

Only because he has no way to prove it? Not because he made it up? Man, getting this guy to be honest is like getting blood from a stone... Oh well...the result is the same. It's not true.

Bikini Mylene makes me feel ashamed.

For what I set out to find? Yes. For all the little detailed questions I have? Not yet. But maybe soon...Shaloom is posting as I type this.

I don't think it holds up. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but why, for example, would "Bobby" even interview Ohnogi about Frontier if Ohnogi had no connection to the show? And if even that basic fact is wrong, what are we left with? It's not as bleak as all that. Shaloom is no longer a moderator there, just a simple member. And hey, either way, I got what I wanted: confirmation that Ohnogi did NOT work on Frontier. And...well, I don't want to come off as callous and unsympathetic there, so please bear in mind that I have really grown to like a lot of the people at Macross Generation, and I'm willing to help them however I can (and I hope everybody who reads this will do the same), but... ...while Shalom's innocence or guilt it's understandably a matter of vital importance to Macross Generation, for the fandom at large, I think the problem is solved. It matters not a whit to the people at MacrossWorld or AnimeSuki or MyAnimeList whether Shaloom is lying or is simply mistaken. The fact remains that his information is unreliable, and came without clear warnings of its unreliability. He may still have some bit of information to exonerate him, but still: HE IS AN UNRELIABLE SOURCE. No matter what happens next, that will never be in dispute.

The old-timer? No, "ojousama" is another word for "Princess."

Because that would take the fun out of everything!

Too bad Kawamori interviews don't get this kind of attention!

Your English is perfectly fine. And thank you.

Good. The more the merrier. Well, that's just ducky. And yeah, "attention-whore" is not a label I want. And, as you say, I was right. Shaloom said so. I think I'm done with this. My reputation is damaged, maybe beyond repair, among the Spanish-speaking fandom, but that's just more incentive for me to do a bang-up stellar job with my Complete Translation Project.

It looks like it's over. One of the guys at Macross Generation said that I've more than made my point and they'd rather move on to other topics. I have no desire to end up as a solitary loony over there, shouting "But I've got PROOOOOOF!" to an audience of none. Anyway, Shaloom admitted that Ohnogi had nothing to do with Frontier. Whether it was deceit or a simple mistake is for them to sort out. I mean, I'm pretty sure of the answer, but it's not up to me, is it? EDIT: I hope no one decides to spam them. They're good people over there and they don't deserve it. They didn't have to be nice to me when I showed up, but they were cordial, friendly, and receptive. I just hope they'll demand more proof from Shaloom from now on.

Thanks for that, Nexxstrait! Hmmm...at the risk of sounding like sour grapes, I don't buy it. Transcribing entire interviews from memory? Reworking an entire interview with the bulk of it not present in the original? And he said he checked the credits of episode 18 of Frontier and saw that Ohnogi wrote it...when it didn't say that at all. Oh well, whether the fandom believes his excuses or not is not important to me. His claims of Ohnogi being the credited writer of episodes 18~24 of Frontier are wrong. His claim that there are fifteen volumes of Studio Nue Entertinament Bibles is wrong. His translation of the Famitsu interview is no translation at all, but something entirely different with a few phrases from the Famitsu interview thrown in. If people want to believe it's a honest mistake, that's fine. Maybe he can even convince me of that. but the information he has been disseminating is, whatever the reason behind it, not true.

(No spoilers please...I'm going to see it next week. I've been avoiding Eva threads everywhere for that very reason.) It seemed clear to me just from the preview at the end of 1.0 that 2.0 was going to be monumentally different. But it's nice to have confirmation.

Well, I thought it was over, but Shaloom came back today after nearly a three-week absence: Now this is all way too much for Google Translate to make sense of. I *think* he is saying that he made a few errors since he did it all from memory (like who wrote what). I don't think he addresses the mangled Famitsu Interview or the radio show. And I think he says he has no proof to show. But I'm in no wise sure, so if anyone wants to help out, I'll be grateful.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Okay...THIS one's just weird.

MAKE CULTURE NOT WAR!

I think "Are you creating culture?" is probably the best interpretation.

That's a nice bit of flame bait you posted there. OF COURSE, no one is saying that Macross is a super robot show.And to get on some "Ah, if people don't dislike the guitar controller, then they don't know Macross like I know Macross" is just silly.

Yeah, I posted a link to that vid before, because I thought it was funny. And someone here at MacrossWorld saw the link, watched the vid, posted some insults about "Homotech," and then came back here and boasted about doing so. Seriously, if I weren't already a Macross fan, I'd look that these comments and think, "Wow, Macross fans are a bunch of douchebags! Thank goodness I'm not pathetic like them!" Unfortunately, I can't say that. I can merely sigh and shake my head sadly...because some idiots are trying to make the rest of us look like a bunch of greasy buttholes.

Yeah, but Robert Jordan is dead, unfortunately. Terry Goodkind might be available, though.

I think she was asking about "culture," not "deculture"... Anyway, Ojousama, if you are asking about "culture" (bunka, 文化), it's just music, art, film, literature, architecture...anything artistic. But it Macross it ususally refers to music.

I've never understood that line of thinking. So if a book has pictures, you don't look at them, and if a movie has text, you don't read it? Is it too hard to do both at the same time? And "broken 'Engrish' translations"? What are you watching? HK bootlegs?
