Q. Why did you rearrange your page? It has screwed up all my bookmarks and links.

A. I'm flattered that you've bookmarked and linked me, but I finally figured out how to do folders, and how to give my pages margins without using tables.
 

Q. Why are you writing the Production Diaries?

A. I had to do something to get though those early episodes...
 
 

Q. Why do you call them the Production Diaries?

A. Because if I called them the "Weekly Wrapups" , that would be copyright infringement.
 
 

Q. But isn't calling them the Production Diaries kind of confusing?

A. I know. ^^;; I didn't realize until later that PD also stands for "pancreaticoduodenectomy" or "progressive disease" or "proton density",  or my favorite, "power Doppler"...
 
 

Q. Are you always this mean?

A. I don't think so...though my colleagues and friends (yes, I have friends) may disagree with that.
 

Q. Could you please go easy on the personal regressions, or at least change the fonts or mark them or something, so I can just read about the show and not have to read about your pathetic life?

A. No.
 

Q. Are you really a Japanese national?

A. According to my passport, yes.
 

Q. Where did you learn to speak English?

A. At preschool.  Does it show?
 

Q. Do you know what run-on sentences are? Didn't your third grade teacher tell you they were a bad thing?

A. Yes, I do. Yes, she did.

Next question, please.
 

Q. How many times do you watch each episode to write a Diary entry?

A. I usually watch each episode twice. I watch it for the first time to 1) get a general feel for it and 2) to make an audio tape. Then, while listening to the audio tape I made, (they pause and rewind easier than videotapes) I write a first draft of the Diary entry. Then I watch the episode a second time to make any additions or corrections, but I will often end up rewinding the tape and re-listening, because I can't quite understand the Giant Blue Chicken's overly echo enhanced voice, or I can't figure out a decent translation for what the Narrator from H*ll is saying.
 
 

Q. I have an absolutely brilliant idea for a fanfic that I got from "Production Diaries". Do I have to give you credit for inspiring my insanity?

A. Huh? No. It's not my fault you are crazy. (^.~)

But if you really write a fic from an idea you got from PD's and tell me about it, it will make my day! (^-^)
 
 

Q. Would you please do a Production Diary entry for The Puppy Episode, the Murder Music Episode, the Bowling Ball Episode, and the Cow episode, and the 2^nd and 3^rd OAV's?

A.  I've already written the Puppy Episode. I hope get to the others eventually...but remember, there are 105 Gatch 1 eps, and then there is Gatch 2 and Gatch Fighter...^^;;;
 
 

Q: Would you please do a Production Diary of Yamato and Ranma and Rayearth and Sailor Moon and Fushigi Yuugi and Rurou ni Kenshin and Evangelion and...

A. Not unless you send me a Condor carrying a dozen red long stemmed roses, singing "Unchained Melody" in his most beautiful Sasaki Voice on a late Friday night! (^.~)
