You know, that reminds me of a song. Sorry to push the thread further off-topic, but I couldn't help it.

Whenever I stay on a computer for more than I couple hours, I'll download some wallpaper from this page and start using it. I've even got known at work for "infecting" workstations with "that strange cartoon wallpapers". Currently, I have this image on both my notebook's ( Windowmaker over Gentoo Linux) and workstation's desktop area.

But still, El-Hazard remains something I cling to to give me hope.
Ah, so I am not the only one.  The single thing I love the most in El-Hazard first OAV is that, in the very end, it is not about saving the world. It is about a boy who loves his girl so much, he won't stop at nothing until he can get back to her. He doesn't care about what others think; it makes no difference to him whether she's even human. He will face the biggest odds... and win. The sheer power of his feeling will keep him going, "even across the breath of a thousand million nights", to the day they will meet again. I am, I have been since the earliest I remember, one of those few who believe in love, and treasure it as life's single most important thing. It was a somewhat unconscious understanding, however, until I got to the end of El-Hazard. It was like waking up, remembering a truth long forgotten... suddenly I knew what was worth striving for. It is no coincidence that just now, when I still strive to get over the end of my 5-year long relationship with a girl I had every intention of marrying, I turn back to the Eternal Homeland. I look back at that boy's faith in his feelings, I see how wonderful is the completeness he and his girl found in each other... and it comforts me a great deal. I do not demand something that perfect; I just want my own little share of love, imperfect as it may be, but special in its own way. Like the star pendant I wear, which remembers me of that other little star -- the star of Hope, always sparkling in my chest, lighting my way through yet another night. By the way, I just turned 25 today. From 1979.10.14 to 2004.10.14 and counting on.

I just want to ask you people a favor: if I ever get to the point of actually buying something like that, please end my suffering and shoot me. Twice, just to make sure.  Isn't it strange (or should I say "scary"?) that most of the dolls, even the ones that reproduce comical characters like Pretty Sammy, have "sad puppy eyes"? Makes one wonder what japanese fanboys (who afterall think sad eyes are "sexy") actually buy them for...

The quickbar would be nice. Always there to remind us that it really HAS been 10 years since Hayashi brought his dream into reality for the rest of us  Now that you said it, I agree it is a good idea -- if we can properly place it on the quickbar. I still think the anniversary deserves its own page, though. btw, Hello Helio! Sorry for being so late in welcoming ya to the site. So er... Welcome!  Why, thank you.

To be honest, this natural "FRAMES ARE EVIL" outlook has prevented me from being aquainted with them. I guess they can be just stuffed into anything like all other HTML. In essence, yes. Inline frames are available since HTML 4.0, and they behave pretty much like any other HTML inline object (such as tables, images, etc). I have written a small example that demonstrates how they can be used to embed our clock into any other page, from any server. Where's this clock gonna go? In the quick bar? Main page? I was thinking a separate page, a sort of "news page" for our efforts... something we could point to, in case anyone wanted to know what we're doing.

Ah, you're the guy who sent me those e-mails a few weeks ago! Sorry I didn't get back to you. Your e-mail got buried, and it slipped my mind until now. It's alright. You can still host it on your site, if you like.

...joke? What joke? Advertising touristic trips to places that don't exist is a kind of joke, you know... and such is El-Hazard, for it will forever be only in our dreams. Damn. There I go poetic again.

1. I don't think one of those mythical "old browsers" Could view this site.. I might be wrong though, even if there is, I doubt any EHOL member or visitor has one.
These days, only the occasional retrocomputing or abandonwae fan running Mosaic will have troubles with frames. Avoiding them would make sense back when neither browser support nor webmasters' domain was good enough, but those times are long gone. It seems the perception that "frames are evil" has stuck, though: not many sites use them anymore, often applying CCS as an alternative.
2. Come on man! My picture is l33t!.. What more do you want? A superhero?.. With blue hair?... I want some feedback on it at least... ;_;
I agree with Robert, you know: it may have been fun to play as "Jinnai", but the picture doesn't say much to me, who can't even recognize what game you were playing.

How do you want it?
I was thinking something like what Fujisawa4654 suggested: using HTML 4.0 frames to display the counter inside another page (I know it can be done, even though my lousy HTML reference book doesn't tell me how ). That way we could keep it on my account, and there would be no file extension problems either. Of course we would still need to format the counter a little to match the style of the host page, but I don't see much problem in it.

That picture made my day, thanks.
My pleasure.
I hope you got a good grade on the assignment.
Oh, it did get me a decent grade, back then... but not so much for the joke. I doubt anyone else understood it at the time... not so many El-Hazard fans around, you see.

Years ago, back when I was taking english classes, the students were asked to do simple touristic advertisement posters. We were allowed to freely choose the destination we'd advertise, so guess what? I chose El-Hazard! I just uploaded the ad image to my Geocities' host. Here's the link: http://www.geocities.com/xperroni/eh_advertise.jpg

I'll probably just draw a big ass picture or something, in celebration. Please keep us informed, I'll be looking forward for it.

Forgotten Realm - A new drabble that I posted to LiveJournal, this evening. I'm just doing my part to spread a new Intarweb catch-phrase that arose from the first 2004 US Presidential debate.
Uh... it seems the page server is down. Even trying to cache it out from Google didn't work.
Hana Ni Arashi, part 14 - In case anyone still cares about this beast.
Just started with chapter 1. You are a good writer, but I always feel uneasy about dramatic or "dark" fanfictions... after all the troubles my dear characters endured through their original series, I'd rather have them enjoying themselves a little more. It's just how I feel, though.
What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round? - 2100 word spam-fic. Just finished it a few minutes ago. A middling effort, I think. The ending kinda fell flat for me.
BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAH! Hilarious, if a bit cruel. Never thought I could laugh so much at Ifurita's suffering... now I feel guilty.
I'm also writing for the anime100 weekly drabble-challenge community. There's a couple of "new" un-re-published El-Hazard drabbles there.
Never heard of this "drabble" thing, but it looks fun... perhaps I'll try it myself, sometime.

is the theme simply "Ten Years After," or are you looking for something with a similar look/feel to those song lyrics?
It's simply "Ten Years After". I linked to the song lyrics only because I thought it could be a good font of inspiration... "then again, maybe not."
I'm currently trying to work on a millstone-around-my-neck EH continuation serial called Hana Ni Arashi, but it's set roughly eight years after. So I don't think I can shoe-horn HNA into your contest as it's described here. Anyway, HNA probably still won't be finished in eight months.
I'm affraid I'll have to rewrite the rules to make them clearer... you see, what I tried to say is fanfictions will be judged on how close they come to follow those guidelines. So you can submit a story that doesn't fit exactly, or doesn't fit at all, any and all of them -- so long you realize it will get lower grades than better fitting ones.
I could also try to do a cartoonish fan art.
We're still short of someone to take charge of the Fanart Contest... in the worst case, we can make a "commemorative fanart gallery" or something. So please dot it, if you find the time.
