It was aired here in Spain last summer. I only saw the last 10 eps. :-( ,
but they aired the movie just after the eps., and some OVAs too. :-).
Of course I recorded them all, but I'm still looking for the first eps.
imposible to find here it seems!.  


> if you can remember the title it was given in that country if you can.

They call KOR "Johnny y sus amigos" -why Johnny when all the other
characters have spanish names? duno.

BTW: It was a translation from italian -the titles were in italian- so it
was aired there too.

 You right it did. but that was so far early in the process that I wonder if 
it was really applicable.  But this is getting off the topic, i.e. Akane.
I was using B-ko as a side point. A-ko is  the anime parody and hence it
really difficult to tell why they were doing what they were doing..
But it was alot of fun to watch them ...

It's Ryan Gavigan(sp?) who keeps calling Nadia "the evil series" I don't 
understand what the big deal is either. Could be because Nadia pays homeage

I don't know either but if you ever find out where to get these don't keep  
it a sercet! They didn't rerun this series to death on TV the Kikaida show, 
so I missed a lot from this series when it was running.

I thought Hikaru's characterization for the movie fit fine.  I did expect
her to get upset and try everything within her power not to let it end.
BTW, What Fatal Attraction type?  It's not like she cooked Jingoro in a pot :)

 6. Doraemon Nobitato Kumono Oukoku		17 oku yen
 8. Dragonball Z Gekitotsu! 100 oku power..	16 oku yen

That explains a few things...As a matter of fact my friend had talked about
being in some shop in San Francisco where he saw a model kit of a dinosaur
go for somewhere around $200.  

Now you do make a distinction between injection-molded and garage kits. 
What exactly is a garage kit?  Why are they that expensive? 

How much of a mark up from buying the kit in Japan?  One store owner blamed
our import laws...I can only guess that shipping and commisions add to the
cost.

I just saw it today and I love it.  This is the first Japanese anime I've 
ever seen and I'm impressed.  I especially love the violence in it, but 
it sometimes is strange.  Oh well, I loved it and I hope to see more of 
it.
