Mmm.  You might want mention that it is actually $149 for the CD and $80 for the
Super CD upgrade system card...the TurboDuo is a Super CD system, but the $149
one is not.  Added up, the price is the same: 

TurboGraphics $70 + CD $150 + Upgrade $80 = $300
TurboDuo = $300

But you're right, it is still a better deal than the SEGA CD.  But you must
take into account two things:

1) The SEGA CD is a much more advanced piece of hardware, containing an
additional  12MHz 680000 processor and many built-in graphics manipulation
features (like the SNES's rotation/scaling, for example)
2) The Turbo has very little support in the US (in normal stores, I mean)
(compared to the Genesis)

For anime fans, however, these should not be a big problem, since:

1) Most anime fans are used to mail-order anyway, and many mail order companies
deal in Japanese imports (some exclusively).  Thus US retail support is
irrelevant.
2) The special features of the SEGA CD are nice, but are not really all that
important for the cinema-style intermissions of CDs or the sound...and those
are the two most important aspects for a game based on a movei/tv show (IMHO).
3) The SEGA CD locks-out Japanese games completely...you are stuck with
whatever SEGA of America decides to give you.  This is the most important
point, I think.

Add that to the already mentioned fact that many, many anime games are already
out for the CD/SCD, and I would place the TurboDuo (or TurboCD and System 2.0
car upgrade) as the better choice for anime fans.

(If you look at a Gametronix ad in EGM, for example, the list of anime
videotapes they carry and the list of CD/SCD game titles they carry are
virtually identical.)

A rename of the film "Golgo 13".  Hey, I enjoyed it, don't know how the
dub is worth (only saw 5 min at Expo), but since it's Uncle Carl, leader
and high priest of the Church of the DubGenius, it can't be all that 
great.

I would say it's an adults only film, but only to the point that it would be
similiar to an american live action film of the "R" rating ilk.

  It would definitely have been cooler for AnimEigo to have done AD
Police instead of Bubblegum Crash!, but ADP is distributed by Bandai.
Perhaps there were some problems acquiring the license, if AE did
indeed try.
 
   Question:  I noticed during the second Bubblegum Crash! episode
that a lot of music from the AD Police soundtrack was used.  Did BGC!
steal the music from ADP, or vice versa?

Hello, my name is Mike Garlick.  I am a member of HARO, Houghton Anime Review
Organization.  Our group has been showing anime at MiniCon for the past couple
of years.  We have shown it in the Cabana Room of the Radisson Hotel.  I'm not
sure what room we will have this year, but when I find out I will post the
room.  There are other anime groups that show anime in their hotel rooms as
well.  I haven't been to MiniCon before, so I am looking frward to having a
great time this spring.  I hope you are too.  I hope to see you all at MiniCon
in the spring!

Ok, so after getting many questions about why we even
bothered with titling Cream Lemon 2 and 6.  
I figure, "What the hell" is probably inadequate.
 
Truthfully speaking, my translator was bored working on 
Patlabor so he decided to do something different.
Some couch potato idiot suggested that he should translate
Cream Lemon Escalation.  The translator said, the only
way he would touch THAT stuff if he got something good.
So what is good?  He thought of something tough to get.
A good S&M book.  Well, lo and behold, next day straight
from the scums and slums of Chinatown, a genuine S&M book.
 
So there, the whole story of how Cream Lemon 2 & 6 got done.
Happy there Ken?

	About the closest thing I've seen here in the states (Illinois, to be
precise) is a game I saw in an arcade up in suburban Chicago called 
"StarBlade."  The game itself is a large sit-down deal with _incredible_
filled-polygon and bitmapped graphics.  Basically, you're piloting a fighter
(the game's in 1st person perspective) that's supposed to stop a mobile
planet-sized battlestation, along with all its cronies.  It's more like the
mayhem in Detonator Orgun III than Return of the Jedi, actually.  Plenty o'
mayhem for the action junkie.  Plenty of _expensive_ action, I should say --
the damn thing costs $.75!

	OK.  If this isn't otaku, I don't know what is.  I've got a Mac SE/30
8/240 with an external color monitor.  The huge hard drive space is to
keep anime gif archives (36.161.0.237, if anyone's interested.  Haven't
got a name on the name servers yet, though.)  The color monitor is for
pics.  I've got an init that randomly selects StartupScreens and
DeskPictures, so on any one day the chances of starting up the computer
with Nene staring you in the face (eugh!) are very good.  Also, my hard
drive icons change every month or so between Ranma, C-ko, the BGC gang,
and the Lovely Angels.  One final note: anime pencil boards make great
mousepads.

Hello!   Over a few posts, I have seen a continuing thread
as to who whould win in a Zentraedi vs. (Your favorite star
fleet here) battle.   One star fleet that might have a chance
vs the big Z would be the Santovasku fleet from Mr. Manabe's
_Outlanders_ series.   10 million ships with a supposedly
impenetrable force screen surrounding each ship, and with
enough firepower on most to obliterate Japan!   And that in
just one group.   Think of what the entire Santovaskuan
fleet could do!
   And as far as Fred Saberhagen's Beserkers go, they would
also make a great opponent for the big Z (that's no moon,
that's a space station.   All right, wrong genre, but it does
describe a Beserker rather well, don't you think?).   Imagine
this: a three-way battle between the Zentraedi, the Santovasku
fleet, and the Beserkers.   Talk about re-arranging the galactic
countryside!   Small solar systems could be in danger from this
conflict!   Then maybe throw in the Mule's fleet and the Star
Wars Imperial fleet just for good measure, with the Death Star
not far behind.   Interesting thought, isn't it?

And in the Great BGC Favorite Character Poll, put in three

 One problem that I find is that there is no stores around here or anywhere else
that I know  that rents games for the Turbo.
Thats a big disadvantged for me as I would like try out the new releases before
I spend $50/60 on a game and finds out that it sucks.
If I'm not mistaken I think I read a few articles here that some people bought
new releases for the Turbo and were dissapointed.
My Local video game suppliers doesn't have the  policy in which I can return the
game if I'm not happy with it.
Does anyone know if there is any video store around Massachussetts that rents
games for the Turbo?

I kind of hate to say this but......you're wrong.  The cargo-ship was

BTW, the "Yamato" wasn't named after the anime Yamato either...

funny, serious.  A wonderful show.  And this isn't just a "fad" like the 
"latest thing". Ever since the first time I saw it, it was, and has 
remained my favorite anime TV show.  Boy, I'd like to see the show that 
will unseat KOR at the top of my list. That would have to be some show!
