   Yes and yes. Track 2, Friday, 3 July, 9-10pm.

   As a side note for the Rumic World speculators... I checked my shelf and
only three of Takahashi's works are actually labelled "Rumic World". These are

   1: Firetripper
   2: Supergal
   3: Laughing Target

   One Pound Gospel is in two volumes and is published by Young Sunday rather
than Shonen Sunday. It is not marked as "Rumic World". Ningyo no Mori was
published in a rather lavish tankoban and also is not marked as "Rumic World".
Of course they were drawn by Takahashi but they're not part of the "Rumic
World" series.

AnimEigo distributes the LD, it is also available from most distributors
that handle LD's.  The store can call Janice or Peter at (919) 799-1501.
Apologies if they didn't get back in touch; they are usually very good
about that!

No, it wasn't Don Yee(he did come to the Expo but he was very well behaved

Further notes:  The One-Pound Gospel was based on a Takahashi manga that
is completely separate from the Rumic World "series".  Ningyou no Mori
(The Mermaid Forest) is from a manga that was called a "Rumic World
Special", but the anime did not have the name "Rumic World" associated 
with it.  Figure that one out howsomever you want.  :^)

And yes, when they whisper it, they mean 'real loser' or 'psycopath.'
Kinda sad, isn't it?  

Also, what do you mean by 'without exception'??  In case of my
friends, they either says it directly or just don't care about them at
all.  After all, if they're really otakkies, they're not worth noting.

I finally got to see an episode of this. I'm surprised no-one (hardly)
has mentioned it on r.a.a...

I've had a few posters of it (gleaned from Family Comic) since I like
the cute-ified character designs of the elf girls (well, they have elf
ears)...

Looks to me like it might have originally have been thought to be aimed
at a REALLY young (ie infants) audience, but then the creators thought
"To heck with it. Let's have fun with the concept, do nice artwork and
go over the top on a few characters." and sold to a pretty general
audience... Admittedly not stuff your average adult would watch, but
wonderfully hilarious stuff along the lines of PEDFHS and similar silly
works.

The only thing is, I don't know which episode I have. The one I was
sent by a friend starts of with a black "billiard ball" crashing onto
the hero's castle, which gets invaded, frozen, and a couple of
characters jump into a dimensional machine. THen the whole thing
switches to Earth (I think so, anyway) and gets just as weird. Is this
part 1???

One of my favourite things is that Leska (one of the girls) is played
by Matsui Naoko, who played the troublesome Akane in the KOR OAV. She
gets a wonderfully similar part in this. :)

Anybody know what other character "Milk" has played? The voice sounds
AWFULLY like Ranma-chan, but Jeff's voice actor list mentions an
actress who hasn't done anything else (an alias maybe??).

Hi!  I'm new to this newsgroup so I don't know if this has been asked
before.  I'm basically looking for any Anime clubs or companies that
specialize in Anime in the D.C. area.  Or if there are any companies I
could order Anime video from through that mail, I would appreciate that
information too.  If anyone has anything they recommend I see as a

I am a anime lover since 7 and I think KOR is the best TV series ever!
(I mean, beside Gundam, Macross type anime.)
Anyone agrees?

BTW, does anybody know, is there any store which has large variety of anime LD  for RENT in San Francisco, San Oakland area? (besides Laser city, Disc is it, Laser preception)
How about Video tapes? maybe in English/Chinese subtitle?

Can someone E-mail me more Info on this, please?

This is my first crack at any form of Macross music (for obvious reasons).
Thanks again to Kent Kochi for lending me his Macross ][ CD Single.

Fortunately, this didn't take me as long to translate as it seemed to take
for the singer to compose it - some 200,000,000 million years, or so the
song seems to indicate... :)

Mistakes should be blamed on lyrics of a neo-Minmei mentality, IMO.
