Hi, I'm new to the manga scene so there are a few questions that I'd
like to ask(opinions, actually). ARe the Viz GN's any good? What I
mean is that are they worth buying in terms of how good they are.
I've seen several like Lum and Nausicaa and they seemed real decent.
Also, isn't Ranma supposed to be out sometime soon, if not already?
Oh, about the GN's, do they contain the same material as the
"regular" comic series version, because if they don't, I assume it
wouldn't be prudent to buy them, although they may be cheaper(I
think). Well, any info would be appreciated.

				Thanks in advance,

I just want to re-assure the group that that was *not* sarcasm.  It really
was a touching story.  I apologize profusely to Patrick for giving him
the impression I was capable of that.  I've enjoyed *each* of his traslations.
(Patrick probably remembered a criticism of mine about a KOR translation he
did.  My problem was that I was using it as a learning tool, and was hoping
for a rough, literal translation.  *I misused his translation.* He wrote
in a different spirit, and I should have honored it.)

Use Adobe Photoshop 2.0.1 (which I used to convert from TIFF to JPEG
for uploading to piggy.) which has Adobe JPEG compress/decompress
export/import option. Or use any stand-alone JPEG programs like
Impressit or PictureSqueeze. After the conversion, just be sure to
turn MacBinary option OFF when uploading (use Z-MODEM protocol if
possible) and people using other platforms will not have any problem
viewing your scans.

I don't have the manga with me (I'm in office) but if the beast is what you
are referring to (the one that appeared with Pai after she lost her memory,
it is my understanding that the beast is used for transportation purposes.
Its one of those critters that appear in the manga. Others include the claw
beast. There's more, but I leave you to find them out by yourself. I don't
want to spoil ur reading pleasure here :-)

It is also my understanding that it replaces the harpy-like creature (what's
its name?) that Pai lost.

Anyway, even though its mainly for transport, as we can see in the manga,
it can cause heck of a lot of damage.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

BTW, does anybody have any idea when #11 is coming out? I splurged on 10
issues of this, and finished them all over a short space of time :-) and
am now being held in suspense.

>Also, are people following the discussion in news.groups?  Please monitor

The most vocal person in the other camp (I assume you are for rec.arts.manga,
aren't u? :-) is this Brian Hughes fella, who wants it to be under the
rec.arts.comics group.

I can't really provide any meaningful analysis, as this is the first time
I am really interested in the creation of a group. So, if there are more
experienced posters out there, please provide some analysis. Thanks.

If we're going to change the location of the group, I like 
rec.arts.comics.manga.  >gasp!<  It's true, through.  rec.arts.comics only
has a western implication because that's all it has.  Once it gets
rec.arts.comics.manga, that implication would be gone.

Then I would campaign furiously for the division of rec.arts.comics into

    Well, yhes I guess I am the most vocal person. And since I am, I
would like to point out a couple of things to the readers here in
alt.manga who I assume are for the move to the mainstream rec.arts.*
hierarchy.
    The first thing, is that there isn't supposed to be any discussion
about the RFD taking place in any group other than news.groups once the
RFD has been officially posted. So in essence any protracted discussion
in this group is contrary to the guidelines and won't help the cause.
    Secondly, the original RFD has yet to be posted to rec.arts.comics.

>I want to silence those USENET namespace hierarchy correctness activists :p

    Unfortunately, there is no silencing of anyone on UseNet that isn't
self-inforced. And until I am convinced by someone with a clearer
argument than those that have already been done, I will continue to be
vocal about what I think is the better name. There is no "actual" right
or wrong here, but there are more people to consider in the creation of
a newsgroup than the group of people that you expect to actually read
it.

This work really needed a updated edition. Actually I would dare to say that
it needs at least 50% increase in size! :) You see, that book was really
really old. It stopped at the very start of the 80's, just able to include
a glimpse of a small picture of LUM in the book. Actually MANGA in 80's
was a GOLDEN AGE, producing classics (maybe not classics, big popular and
will be remembered anyway :) like Touch, Urusei Yatsura, Doctor
Slump, Hokuto no Ken, Saint Seiya, City Hunter, Kujaku-Oh, Nausicca...
the list can go forever!! :) :)

And I actually spent my teenage years reading these manga...
