Newly armed with Photoshop 5.5 and ImageReady 2.0, and beboping to Kanno Yoko, the code-writing, image-slicing, caffeine-guzzling HTML Swiss Army Knife emerged from under a mountain of Newtypes, AX Magazines, and empty soda cans to deliver the latest incarnation of EX and a fresh batch of banners. Voila! On
the topic of banners—going on a tangent here—the HTML
Knife couldn't help but notice how another anime site has adopted the motto that
"pissing off anime companies" is something to be proud of. (If you don't know
which anime site, just browse around the issue and wait for the particular banner
to show up in the ad rotation above.)Mind
you, the EX staff tries to be honest about what they
like and dislike, and aren't afraid to speak their minds. But when one
deliberately sets out to annoy and upset the people who endeavor so hard to
bring this artform to the USA, that kind of attitude
is going to backfire sooner or later. It is one thing to be critical and
honest—it is another to bite the hands that feed you. And notoriety is not
something to be proud of.As
the soup cook on SEINFELD once exclaimed:
"No soup for you! 
Next Issue EX hunts down the $$60,000,000,000 man, the sixty-billion double-dollar man better known as Vash the Stampede, in the next issue of EX. It's all about TRIGUN. And we'll be unveiling some new features at EX as well—the redesign was just the beginning. Be there or you'll miss out!
