"Salutations"
 
   Hello, all:

Finally got around to registering again (my previous account got scrapped because of a long period of inactivity). I've been reading the boards since August 2001 and consider the writing of the EPU folks of the finest cross-genre works available for mass pop-culture consumption. Started reading Undocumented Features back in 1996 -- been in love with everything else offered here since.

One of the coolest things about EPU works for me: The writing is so illustrative that I can -see- the story happening as if it were anime. The downside: I have to force myself to slown down while reading in order to make it last at least 22 minutes (the length of an OAV episode. ^_^) This causes problems later when I meet my other anime-interested friends and I start confusing EPU works with anime:

Them: "Man, I love the swords and stylistic designs of Utena. Everything's so cool."
Me: "Yeah, totally. Like that part when Utena took on Ohtori with two swords on the dueling platform while Corwin was trying to rescue Anthy, yeah?"
Them: "... huh?"

Oh well. In any case, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

-Tzukumori

<laugh> That's good... The thought of EPU Productions being treated like real television programs... *Sighs* If only it were true.

Standard "Japanese Salutation" when meeting people for the first time, which carries the meaning of "Please be good to me," or as I like to think of it, "Don't hurt me - I'm mostly harmless." ^_^

<chuckle> He's not the only one it happens to. I mentioned this to Gryphon in a private email some weeks ago -- even though I knew/watched Utena long before Symphony appeared, I have on occasion forgotten the origin of some of those characters and thought of them as his.
