>I find myself wondering if Ayami Nakajima is related at all to Subaru >Nakajima, from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS.Aya comes from a crushed-by-Paramount Star Trek fan comic that was produced quite a number of years ago now, and Nakajima is, I believe, a pretty common Japanese surname. I don't know precisely how recent this Nanoha thing is, but it seems unlikely to me that the author of Star Trekking could have been making a reference thereto. In a metafictional sense, she's more likely to be related in some fashion to Ken "White Hawk" Nakajima, a motorcycle cop operating in the Bokuto region of Nekomikoka on Tomodachi. Interestingly, Officer Nakajima knows someone else who's part-Kryptonian and mostly Japanese, but they aren't related. There must have been a reasonably sizable Kryptonian expat community on Tomodachi a few generations back. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

The first season of Nanoha aired in '04, the second (A's) in '05. The two 13-episode runs were successful enough that the 26-ep StrikerS was made in 07 as a ten-years-later timeskip that has the original cast as mentors to a new batch of characters - the latter including Subaru. A sequel manga, six years later yet, is currently running but as yet, AFAIK, untranslated. A lot of people think StrikerS has pacing problems, though personally I never noticed any problems, but out of - call it ten people? - I've discussed the first two seasons with, only one has thought they were anything other than excellent.

The comic Aya comes from dates to at least the mid-1990s, if not earlier. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

LAST EDITED ON May-24-09 AT 11:25 PM (EDT) >Oh, yeah, no chance, then. The comic Aya comes from dates to at least >the mid-1990s, if not earlier. The copyright on the Antartic Press printing of Star Trekker gives it as copyright Atelier Lana 1985-1991 and the US publishing copyright of 1991. I was one of the lucky ones that bought one of the 3400 copies in 1991! Hope that helps. Michael
