Yep. If you haven't heard a clear distinction between "L" and "R" sounds by a certain age, you will never be able to hear the difference. Since Japanese doesn't have a distinct version of each sound, most Japanese folk have enormous trouble with these sounds in English. Hilarity ensues.

[LastBattlestar]

You mean 'hirarity'?

Very cool! I loved Starblazers as a kid, but haven't seen it in years.

Would someone be so kind as to post the actual URL here? I can't figure out why, but every frakkin' YouTube link shows up as a large box w/a tiny red square in it. When I right click to see what the URL is, it shows up as an URL pointing right back to this very thread - and it happens no matter what thread I'm looking at w/YouTube links in it. It's getting really annoying. I've checked all of my settings for the board here, as well as on my 'puter and can't figure it out....

Sweet holy FUCK!
That looks FUCKING AWESOME!!!
I can't wait for the fansubbers to get their grubby little paws on it!!! Please please PLEASE LET IT COME OUT ON DVD OVER HERE!!!!

Now let's make a circle and hold hands while we pray to the plastic gods we worship that Bandai decides to make some new kits....

Yeah. Is it just me, or would anyone else buy a version of their 1/350 WITHOUT all the bloody electronics and sounds and motion and whatnot?

Knock a couple of hundred bucks off the price, ditch the STUPID stand and controller and just give us a MODEL, and suddenly I'm a buyer...

I'd be down with that if I was into it, but I'm not into it so I'm not up on it.

Thank you, Rob! Finally, somebody willing to help out!

Don't understand the opening 26 or so seconds of nothing but music, nor do I totally get what's happening, but that sure as Heck was some kewel visuals!
