(Yes… the site is still alive, though unsurprisingly the rate of flow of information has dropped to almost zero) This from John Page:
Ruh, Brian: Stray Dog of Anime: The Films of Mamoru Oshii. (Palgrave Macmillan Div. of St Martin’s Press, New York and Houndmills,;Basingstoke, Hampshire, England; 2004). pp. 165-184 (Ch. 8). “Brian Ruh is (2004) a Ph. D. student in the Department of Communications and Culture, indiana University, USA. He is webmaster of AnimeResearch dot com, a website dedicated to the analysis of Japanese popular culture.” (from the back cover notes of the book) Mr. Ruh holds the film in high regard.
