Enough praise for Gawl, lets talk mechs, lets talk Gasaraki. Can you say mind bender? You thought EVA was a trip, Gasaraki is EVA times ten.

One of the Anime Greats Every industry has what we call the "greats", the people that made their mark on the industry as a whole. It has come to my attention that we in the Anime Industry have lost a great soul: Roger O'Conner. Roger ran a Web site called Anime Radio. He followed industry trends in anime, gave reviews, interviews, followed conventions, and generally did a great job reporting in letting people listen to his internet radio show. I met Roger at AKON a few years back. He was a nice guy, we talked anime, he interviewed me and we ramabled on and on, heh. He was a good soul. I had great respect for him for I too was and still am an internet radio junkie. We did the same thing, I felt connected. Sadly we've lost him. Roger passed away last week in a car accident at young age of 39. It is my sincerest hope that Anime Radio continues on, Roger would of wanted that to happen. If I can help in any way please contact me. ADV and myself would like to take this moment of "net-time" to pay our respects to one of the greats and say goodbye. Bye Roger.Dan Rockwell
