- What do you think the future holds for the DAS?
up,up,up! if the genre of anime continues to break new grounds there will always be a need for us.. plus.. we have the best fans around =) Now if we could just standardize a convention meeting place *g*
- Do you cosplay? If so, what are your favorite
costume(s)
No, not currently.
- Conventions attended and/or staffed?
Not been to any yet... unless you count Dr. Who or Red Dwarf, Blake's Seven or Star Trek.
- Have you ever named a pet/computer/insert word here
after an anime or Asian character? If so, which and why?
Nopers... my familiar ( a cat ) is named after a Celtic Goddess.
- What theme or institution in anime should be
decreased or increased and why?
OK... dig this, too much time spent by film makers on mushy hearts and flowers giggling schoolgirl/ metro schoolboy anime. We need more Mechs and Labors and killer robots and swordfights and cool female supercops with big laserguns. And swashbuckling demon/vampire/monster hunting suave hero types and cute but powerful human animal hybrids ( ex. Unampuma and Anapuma )
