Please don't support pirates.  Report them to the authorites.
The Wandering Kid compilation is going to be release by USMC dubbed.

BTW:Wandering Kid has been subtitled by a fan group. (I don't know which one)
(And no I don't have it, either!)

In response to all that, the CDs from Animage Records actually have a few
of the Nausicaa Songs in "not so electronic" form.  The two CDs are the
Animage Perfect Orchestra, and the other is the "Perfect Animage" CD.
They're both on the Rutgers CD Listing.  I actually have the two, so if you
have any questions I can answer them for you.  The two CDs do not have all of
the Nausicaa Songs.  The CDs are actually a compilation of a lot of the
Miyazaki Movies, including Totoro, Kiki, and Laputa.  There are only three or
four songs on each of the CDs from Nausicaa.

Quite Truly,
Sam

I know I'm going to regret this, but I think a better classification
is in order:
- Human-sized powersuits (B-ko's battlekini, hardsuits, Cloths, Cyclones)
  These are one-person powersuits, roughly the size of a man.

- Giant mecha (Gundam, Giant Robo, Aura Battlers, Voltron)
  These are the giant robots.  The human operators (at most a small team
  of about 5) are either in various places inside the mecha (head or torso,
  for example) or control the robot remotely (like Giant Robo or Ironman 28).

- Unlimited-class mecha.  These are the mecha too big to fit in the
  previous category.  The only one I can think of so far is the SDF-1,
  any others?

Too afraid of Pirates, eh?

As I said before, I know of at least one subtitling group (Studio
Otaku) which subtitled it using the scripts published in A-Ni-Me II.
They are going to re-master it using better quality source material.
Future plans for them include the Ranma Shampoo episodes (Episode 15
is already been translated), Megazone 23 III, Daggar of Kamui, and the
second Ranma movie.  Btw, scripts for all the materials that they
translated will be made available when the episodes are subtitled.  

When they get up and running, I'll be sure to post their availability.

	I've been trying to listen to the spoken words while watching

	I've noticed that the word "baka" tends to get translated to
"idiot" or "moron" on the subtitles, but there seems to be quite a few
more words that are translated to "Baka" also.

	What exactly are the various words of words used for "idiot"

	I don't think "Ano" applies to Madoka.  She definitely got Kyosuke

for it applying to Kyosuke, I always get a feminine feeling from the song.

FRONT:	Picture, subtitled "rec.arts.anime" of course.
BACK:	With great anime
	Comes great responsibility

Of course, for a picture we should embody all of the anime stereotypes
that we can, rather than try to pick a favorite character (which will
certainly end up leaving over half the people unsatisfied).  Two girls.
One with red hair, one with blue.  In sailor suits.  With a dog and a
cat.  And big guns. Climbing out of a landmate.  And the pets are
sprouting slimey phallic tentacles, see?  And the full-color picture
should be screened onto the shirts three times, each time moved a little
bit, like a...like a...like a triple-take, see?  Yeah!  And the landmate
looks like a giant insect, but it is really built out of a hospital bed.
And then there's the guy both of the girls are going out with -- I'm
sure he could be squeezed in somewhere -- oh, this'll be cake!  Get on
it!  Hahahahaha....

Well, although often the topic and the subject of a phrase are the same,
it is important to make the distinction.  "Wa" marks topic; "ga" marks
(among other things) subject.  "Wa" often replaces "ga" in a sentence when
the topic and subject are the same.  See my previous post.

I need some help choosing a Nadia CD, since I know there are several of

the songs from Nadia episode 34, which is the "mostly songs" episode in
which Jean makes his music box invention.  This episode has the
Sanson/Hanson/Grandis song, Jean's song about how great he is, Jean's
song to Nadia, Nadia's song, and Marie's song (with King as featured
soloist. :)  Do these songs exist on CD, and if so which one do I order
from Nikaku? I already own the very first Nadia CD so I KNOW it's not
that one...

Thanks for any pointers anyone can offer.
While I'm at it, I'm also trying to track down Nadia episode 30 (got the
