Some other day
Melfina Now that's the way I like my women; flexible. Not too many guys have women that they can stick into a suitcase or in some convenient storage bin if need be. I for one, will be suspicious of any dude walking around with an abnormally large brief case.

Wednesday. I really don't have time to update this page right now because of graduation, but I hope to restart my weekly updates in June. For now, you may have noticed that the image at the top right changes almost every time you come to this page. That's the only change since last month. Peace.

Monday. Man, it seems like it's been weeks since I last updated these pages. The information isn't coming as I had hoped. We need to add a few hours to the day so that maybe I could actually accomplish something (or at least feel like I accomplish something).

The updates page is the newest addition to the OS section. I figured this page was getting way too long. From now on, only updates from the current month will be on the front page.

Tuesday. I usually don't update two days in a row, but thanks to my sister, I have been quaranteened for chickenpox. It's the craziest stuff you ever heard. The doctor wouldn't even let us leave through the front. We had to go out the back way so we wouldn't infect any of her other patients. At least I get to miss like two weeks of school and then the next week is spring break.

Anyway, the character info will now be all on one page to cut down on the time it takes for you to browse through them, and a new page has been added where the episode synopsises will be posted. Go to the episodes page to find them.

The DVDs finally arrived. Although it took about a month for the whole process since I paid with a check, it only took 2 days to arrive after Amazon had shipped it. Now, I just need collections 2 and 3. The good thing though, is that now I can start working on episode summaries.

My Outlaw Star DVDs are finally on their way. I like that the price is like $15 less when I buy online, but it takes too damn long for the orders to arrive.
Now that I got that out of my system, I was watching OS on Toonami just a minute ago and it really struck me how much people die in this and many other anime series. I mean, damn; Gene gets in a dual, the other dude dies. Gene gets a dangerous job, the guy who hired him dies. Not that I don't like it though. That's one of the best things about anime.

Well now, since I have been looking at various OS pages, I have heard mixed feelings on this anime. One common comparison I have found is between it and Cowboy Bebop. Until I heard these comparisons, I had never heard of Cowboy Bebop. It's supposed to be some great space-western movie which has some common themes with Outlaw Star. I don't know when Cowboy Bebop aired but, I do know that Outlaw Star is an anime in its own right, and quite frankly, it kicks ass.

If you are looking for the series, I suggest DVD if possible, and In Association with Amazon.comthat you buy it online from Amazon.Com. It is much cheaper. The VHS version is cheaper also, but it comes in several volumes as opposed to the three volumes in the DVD set which have both the Japanese subtitled and Englished dubbed (but unedited) versions. The third volume is supposed to be released this month.

Ok. I have now seen almost every episode that has aired on Cartoon Network, and I still don't know what the Galactic Leyline is. I mean, I saw the episode in which Gilliam said he would spill the beans, but it really didn't tell me anything useful, except that it is this black mass sitting in the middle of space and it emits this sound that is not too much different from the Sirens in the Odessey. And to think that in the prelude to the episode, Gilliam said he would tell us what the Leyline is. Oh well, maybe tomorrow, assuming I get to see it. And why is it that the episode ended with that damn to be continued right when it was getting good? As they say, "ish" happens.

The song that Melfina sings at the end of the episode (the first few, anyway) is very involving. In fact, it had such a mysterious feeling, that I downloaded it from Napster. Now, if only I spoke Japanese. Does anyone have a translation? At least when Mel sang it in one episode, the translating company had the decency to put that part in English, although it does kind of lose that mystery. Ah well, as I said earlier, "ish" happens.

After seeing the episode in which the MacDugall brothers meet their end at the Leyline, I have a new respect for all of the characters. Suzuka's reason for tagging along has finally been revealed, and Aisha really seemed worth having, as she proved herself again. Maybe the next episode will reveal more about Melfina. I guess we'll see.

I just bought the first DVD volume of Outlaw Star (2/15/01) from Amazon.Com. Its features are by far superior to that of the VHS, but I won't get into that. If anyone out there is planning to buy the volumes, I suggest you buy them from Amazon.Com as well because it seems to be the cheapest.

It seems that the show was holding out until the end to reveal what exactly the Leyline is. There were some interesting twists in the episode, and you won't believe what kind of ish (there's that word again) goes down.
