The Anime Homeworld; A Retrospective

Today, between classes, I decided it was time to buckle down and clean out my old Yahoo! account. I’ve had the e-mail address for literally ages, and have used it ever since the original inception of my Anime fansite, The Anime Homeworld.

Now, mind you, AH is currently six feet under (Hey, I’m working on it!), and there have been several false starts. But I found this letter today, and decided that fuck it, I’m going to publicly respond to this old letter from Hctrd04@aol.com

Does Hctrd remember this? Not a chance in hell. Will he ever read this? Highly doubtful. Do I care? Of course not. But here’s an idea of some of the great letters I got during my tenure running The Anime Homeworld.

Hctrd04 says…

you claim that their is no dragonball af, how can you be so sure, have you spoken directly to the creator have you got a singed qote saying that theirs no dbaf.

Actually, the creator, Mr. Akira Toriyama, has publicly stated on numerous occasions that there is nothing past Dragon Ball GT. Hell, he barely worked on DBGT as is. Oh, and the fact that no new DB series has been released since the mid-90s, and all the “new” games focus on DB/Z/GT should further cement this claim.

How do i know that you are not telling lies when i have seen many web pages with the cnffirmation of that dbaf does excist.

You don’t. Welcome to the Internet.

You don’t realy think that anyone will belive what you are saying “you dumb ass” when your not even the officel web site for db,z,gt. and i very much dbout that the creator would say that girls could not become ssj becuse that sounds sexiste and for all you know could carry a lawsuit with it.

You want to sue me? Better learn how to spell sexist before you type up those papers, man…

i believe that you just despize the fact that another could come along maybe your to old to be watching db even though you love it, what are you 30 year old vergin due to your abcesion, i also think your bitter and that if you were a true fan you would be excited and not try to spoial it for all use true fans.

Abscession

Ab*sces”sion, n. [L. abscessio a separation; fr. absedere. See Abscess.] A separating; removal; also, an abscess. [Obs.] –Gauden. Barrough.

Yes, you’re on to me. I’m a 30 year old virgin, because I’m seperated from 10 year old animes.

This message was circa 2004 (at which point, AH had already been under hiatus for over a year! What site were you looking at man??). My original reply is included in the MORE post. Look for a new AH sometime in the next decade. Until then, feel free to flame The Paladin, so long as you actually read it.

Deliver Us From Uwe.

Looks like there truly is a Dark Lord, and you can bargain with him for whatever you want.

Somehow, someway, Uwe Boll has gotten the go-ahead to make a sequel to his schlocky “Bloodrayne” movie. The film, titled BloodRayne II: Devliverance, is due out in 2008 and will instead star Natassia Malthe as the titular vampire (Kristanna Loken has declined the role for a second go, choosing instead to film her new Sci-Fi series PainKiller Jane and to do a brief stint on The L Word.)
