WEll, to be technical, Intersound was the company used by Harmony Gold and 
people like Sabn Entertainment used for doing studio type work, and when 
Carl & Jerry started Streamline, some of the actors have worked for him as
well, though probably only 5 or so do. (Heck, a lot of actors just don't do
it anymore cause it doesn't pay enough.  Saban and others used non-union actos
and pays them something like $35/hr or so.  Streamline associates themselves
withthe Screen Actors Guild, which has specific rates for paying actors for
dubbing foreign films into english.  Minimum of $100, plus $50/hour after that)
USR policies are as yet unknown, though they aren't SAG associated.

As for the Streamline stuff inproving, well, maybe, the second and third 
volumes of the Evil Series (N*D*A for the Gavigan impaired) are done quite
a bit better than the first, but still not "great"..

Re: regarding anime net "paranoia"

Well, I guess I learned a lot from just reading and not posting.  I started
reading r.a.a. almost a year before I was inclined , let alone needed, to
post.  Granted there wasn't nearly so many questions and discussions coming
up 3 years ago as now.

Ask away, I would suggest that EVERY one that's posted on this list has done
something on here that he later felt stupid about.  (Even I 8-)

Truly an experience, watching Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me , then reading
this post.

Just what has happened with "Lodoss Warriors"? Typical "one guy that put
the thing together suddenly realizes he has to much schtuff to do and 
has to put things on 'hiatus'" Syndrome?
