Adisa?

Oh...it's *Azusa*.  I've always thought that despite the ghostly aspects,
Azusa really WAS human, in spite of her obsession.

WEll, especially with the production schedule of Macross II (ie not all done)
it's probably hard to know far enough ahead of time when they'll be able 
to finish them.  The November solicitations for the comic magazines were 
due about the last half of August, so that doubles the problem.  So now
even thought the products will come out in November, the comic stores won't 
get them till January at least.

	I thought it was good.  The translation and dubbing are really smooth,
and well done.  The story itself is really solid, the characters are well
done, but it's not a happy action adventure by most stretches of the
imagination (I consider this a good thing, personally.  Breaks up my run
of Akira/BGC...Zillion on the video shelf).  Worth seeing.

And both can fall just as flat as any other. :) You can really shock
some people by showing them Akira. They may have seen gore movies and
the like, but some people I know were absolutely shocked by the
violence of the first five-ten minutes of Akira.

Likewise, people who are into comedy (Hitch Hiker's Guide, and general
easy-going stuff) can be completely stumped and left cold by Riding
Bean. <sigh> Sadly these have been people I'd hoped to get interested.

Well, my partial record of getting people interested in anime is about
150 people. :)

We all enjoy anime differently. My biggest thrill about anime is
showing it to 150+ people on a big screen. Call me weird. :)

8-).  I give up.  Samurai Trooper _was_ a tv series.  The others like
Otoheme Connection, Genji, Oz were all adapted from manga, but their
lifespan is less then 10 episodes.

I thought there are at least 3 Koko wa Greenwood, and several Video Girl
Ai?  Ah... but you are looking for TV series.
I believe they switch to producing OAV instead of TV series is because
they can earn more money -> produce more OAV ->... vicious cycle.
As a matter of fact, the OAVs are indeed of better quality than the TV
series.

I'm not sure, as I've yet to see much past the first two thirds of the series,
but I would say that it had covered 3-4 years as of ep. 60. and looked like it
was going to go seven years. Long, long courtship. :) A number of episodes
rotate around anniversaries such as the yearly visit to Soichiro's grave, the
august day that Kyoko arrived at the Ikkoku-kan, and Christmas.

Matthew Sweet has two music videos with anime in them:

1) Girlfriend, with cuts from Cobra.
2) [Some other song], with cuts from Urusei Yatsura.

They are two different anime shows.  Urusei Yatsura translates to, "Obnoxious
Aliens."

What about people who are into anime but not fan-fiction??? I (for one)
can't stand fan-fiction, unless it uses ENTIRELY original characters.
For example, the mixture of Dirty Pair and what's-them-fellows, the
ones with the ripped-off Tardis... Ummm, can't stand those guys, and
throwing them in with the Pair made me throw out the story. :)

If we're gonna have a net-related one, here's the ultimate. Miss
Animerica... Let's do a rendition of what WE THINK Teresa should look
like as a mascot. She has certainly done quite a bit for the net, so
it's only fitting to compliment her.

(Of course, if the people who come up with a design for her that
accentuates certain female body parts and this offends the real Miss
Animerica, don't blame me! :)

This will probably be a little late but...

Batman is on Channel 5 4:30pm

Ultraman has not been on for months and was removed so the station
could show another half hour of the "Little Mermaid".

No other anime shows that I am aware of.
