Hello:
 Thank God for this list, thats all I have to say. Very few people know or
care about Manga at my college. If I do show them anything they reply this
sucks or if they are woman just plain ewwyuck or vice-versa. I am an art student
   at the state university college at oneonta. I care very little for Mecha howe
   verI can not get enough of Beast City "yoji toshi" (I think) And intresting m
   uta
tions cyberware and comedy from Anime Hokido no ken is cool too.
    I have been going crazy looking for a translation for Beast City, Yoji Toshi
   ,Harmegedon and  wandering kid. I know that Harmegedon is comming out in a s
ubtitled version somtime next year from Central Park Media. I heard from
A company called the Science fiction continum that very few would cary
Beast City or The Wandering Kid because of pornographic content. I still
do not see why this is, how many 10 year olds have 34$ to spend on the videos
unless they are Donald Trumps brat buys suncoast videos shop owners have little
to worry about. The fault lies more in the way shop owners feel about the film
not the content.
viewed by the audience.
     I would also like to hear opinions of anime lovers about weather or not
to dub or subtiltle a film? I personaly think that something is definately
lost in a dubbed translation. One never can tell if one is recieving the
whole experience the film has to offer. Besides I have seen some pretty bad
editting jobs mainly from streamline, Castle Cagliostro is cut and Akira's
Voice overs were terrible. Until professional voices become interested in
the media dubbing has a bleak future.

Thank You Joshua Zimmerman;

P.S. If anybody has any info on a scripts mentioned PLEASE vax me!!!!
Thank You Again.

Massive Change in AnimEigo Corporate Structure

Ruthless Takeover Stuns International Business Community

December 12, 1992
Tokyo, Japan

Following an intricate manuever that stunned financial markets
worldwide, AnimEigo, Inc., the World's most influential subtitler of
Japanese Animation, today announced that James Shiro Woodhead has ousted
his father, Robert Woodhead, and succeeded him as Chairman of the Board
and C.E.O.

The "somewhat smaller than Ross Perot" Mr. Woodhead (43cm, 3.09kg) was
unavailable for comment; sources close to the new Chairman said that he
was exhausted by the day's events, and significantly, after a
celebratory "liquid lunch," had decided to take a long nap.  Markets
worldwide plunged as rumors that Mr. Woodhead was an unstable alcoholic,
only to rebound strongly when it was revealed that he is in fact on a
liquid-protein diet.

According to insiders, who asked not to be named, the new Chairman's
mother, UEKI Natsumi, was intimately involved in the events leading up
to the change in leadership.  She is quoted as saying, "That's what he
(the ex-Chairman) gets for making those really obnoxious
'smuuch-smuuuch' sounds that annoyed James so much.  He got even with
his father within moments of being able to arrange a face-to-face
meeting."

The reclusive ex-Chairman is said to be mulling over the effect this
event will have on his career; it was announced that his new title is
"Assistant Vice President in Charge of Waste Disposal."

Not much is known at this time about the effects on this management
change on the corporate direction of AnimEigo, but initial reports
indicate that the new Chairman has initiated negotiations to license the
entire "ANPANMAN" television series and subtitle it in large, easy to
read "Letterblock" subtitles.

I think I saw this OVA a while back, but it didn't have subtitled or dub so
I sort of had to pieced it together.  It revolved around an evil magician
call Dark something (well, we'll just called him DS).  DS wanted to rule the
world, but was stopped and imprisioned into the body of a boy.  A kiss from
a virgin can release him, and he may fight for you if he feels like it.
The animation, and voice acting is well done, but the story is so-so. 

I sort of browse through the manga because my friend collects it.  It's
a sword and socery story.  The art is pretty good and detailed.  The story,
I don't know since I can't read Japanese.  From what I can see from the art,
it looks a bit B-movish.  He goes from town to town, turning into DS whenever
he needs to fight some villian, and ends up having a cluster of woman around
him.

The jokes aren't as funny, but IMO, the music's quite good. Except the
theme tune. However, having said that, I haven't heard the original
soundtrack, so it's probably crap. I have it on good account that the
new soundtrack IS crap. Andy, do you want to elaborate?

I have to disagree with Gaver-sensei on this one.  From the one issue I've
seen (#2), AnimeUK strikes me as a very slick-looking magazine with terrible
articles.  The artwork is beautiful, yes, but EVERY article I read had
errors in it.  I can understand one or two articles, but this was EVERY
single article except the recipe at the end.  :-)

In contrast, Animerica had (save for an exception or two) very informative
and up-to-date articles.

Waiting for the day we can have the American equivalent of NEWTYPE or
ANIMEDIA, this was...

Yeah.  I posted that before I read his "bye" message.  I wonder how he would

Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1992 21:39:59 GMT

First, let me be yet another of the voices chorusing, "My LD's
hissing!"  The hiss was noticable throughout the three episodes,
particularly during quiet sections; I was glad the explosions and rock
concerts drowned it out at times, though 8-).  Now, while it's
possible it's just dirty or it's a pressing problem or something like
that, two facts seem to dissuade that argument, in my mind: (1) The
hiss completely disappeared during the Miyu trailer (and I don't
remember really hearing it during the opening AnimEigo logo either)
and (2) there was no hiss on the analog track, only on the digital.
This suggests, to me at any rate, that the problem was with the
original soundtrack somewhere.  I haven't gotten around to checking my
original tapes to see if they have the same hissing problem.  Good
luck figuring out what's wrong, Woodhead-san!

Second, I noticed that the profanity was toned down throughout the new
subtitling/translation.  Some examples: "hot stuff" instead of "hot
shit"; "ask me if I give a damn" rather than "ask me if I give a
shit"; and "sleazebag" instead of "asshole."  Not that I particularly
want stronger profanity or anything, but I'm curious as to why it was
toned down (knowing almost nothing about Japanese profanities).  Did
the translators decide the first version was stronger than the actual
Japanese or what?  I just find it more believeable when characters are
actually cursing like real people, that all (doesn't anyone actually
use the word "sleazebag" in real life?!).  For instance, I am kinda
glad that Priss' "OH SHIT!!" was left in eps. 3...8-]

However, I am overall quite pleased with the LD.  Well done, AnimEigo!

About the new LDs: I know you're not offering a discount on the UY and
KOR ones like you did from BGC (which is why I didn't buy those
tapes), but what about Madox and Bean?  Granted, you're certainly not
under any *obligation* or the like, but it would be really, really
nice for those of us who already have both tapes but want the LD if
you offered a discount...Oh pleeeeaaase!  Thank yoooooou!

BTW, I'm surprised nobody commented about how the latest AnimEigossip
says they've gotten their hands on My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery
Service cels!  I figured the Miyazaki fans would go ape-shit over these!

This is for those of you (me included) who didn't like the name change
in the KOR videos... Make your voice heard to AnimEigo NOW!

With AnimEigo's announcement that the KOR LDs will be coming out in
1993, we have a chance to put the "past" behind us... :)

The flyer does distinctly mention that the episodes will be
"re-translated and re-subtitled" for the LD release, so we have a
chance to let AnimEigo hear our voice.

I, for one, WILL buy the LD's *IFF* they stick with the "proper"
japanese names...

For those who may doubt that AnimEigo may change it, well, with the
LD's, the target audience is definitely slanted more towards the fans
than the video release was, so we have a little more power.

I dunno if I'd even WANT to scratch build anything damaged...  It seems much
easier to build them pristine.  That way if someone likes your scratch build,
you can sell it.  Plus it's muc to emotionally draining to build something
and then have to "blow it up" afterwards for effect.  It's easier (and
cheaper) to buy an injection kit to maul for a diorama...  Plus small=
better for pocket book :)  I'd hate to buy a Orchis garage kit attachment
for the GP03S just to damage on purpose for effect...
