There are various LDs like "Hurricane Live 2032" that may have the "live"
versions of certain songs, but I don't recall them being released on CD...

    As unreliable as Anime-L has been the past two weeks, I am fortunate to
have been able to read the sometimes frustrated, sometimes vindictive prose
which followed Dave's posting. While his message regarding the resignations
of a large percentage of the Anime Expo '93 staff was worded somewhat more
strongly than some of the rest of us would have liked, I can vouch for the
accuracy of the facts he related. Anyone who might be worried about whether
or not there will be an Expo to go to next summer need not. SPJA has a hotel
contract for 4th of July weekend and I doubt they can break it without going
bankrupt. You just won't see anyone who doesn't think they can work with
Mike Tatsugawa working as volunteers at that convention. Of course, it's up
to Mike to post details. Remember, we're still many months away from another
convention.
    Having jumped up and defended Mike on several occasions on this network,
other networks and on the phone, I can rest a little easier now. As I count
myself among those who resigned on Saturday I can count myself among those
who no longer need worry about having to apologize on someone else's behalf
at regular intervals. Anyone who was particularly surprised by the mass
resignations knows very little about the people involved and probably even
less about the situation leading up to it. They should quit grinding their
teeth and accept that we are all much happier and more motivated to serve
fandom than we were a week ago. We are, after all, just fans ourselves.
    As for the idea of "one true convention", there never was "one true anime
convention" any more than there is "one true" science fiction convention. As
far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier. There are as many people in
Northern California willing to hold an anime convention as there are
willing to attend one. That's not likely to change. We're just shuffling
leadership around so we all feel more comfortable. Once James and Mike get
themselves settled, they'll probably both come back online with their future
plans. Until then everyone should take a deep breath and quit worrying.

I was beginning to think that these art studios took whatever paint 
they had surplus and did the hair with that color.  Kokowa's hair
goes from purple in one scene to brown in the next & v.v. throughout 
the Ramune & 40 OAV's.

How many hues of Ranma-chan's hair appear in the manga covers?

Don't say anything about "normal" hair to K. Sonoda or hell probably start
doing day-glo colors. (I guess he already has)

I don't want this message to be taken personally by anyone. As someone 
living in So Calif and unfortunately unable to attend either AC91 or 
AE92, I have no involvement at all with anyone involved or any personal 
say. But I *AM* a long-time anime fan, and I just want to speak my two 
cents, then I'll shut up.
  It's really a shame that anime, an area that needs cooperation and 
working togethr to build a strong base in a country (America) that 
doesn't have one save for a small group of fans, has to have such dirty 
politics and posts complaining about what the "other guy just did". Poor 
me.  Maybe if there were less cry babies and SMALLER EGOS (READ: SMALLER 
EGOS) by EVERYONE involved then there might actually be an expo, a 
convention where everyone can concentrate on helping anime flourish in 
America, which is, after all, what the point of these expos/cons are for. 
   As I said, I'm in no way involved, and have never met (let alone even 
talked to) any of the people involved on either side (but you all know 
who you are).  However, I have watched tantrum-like it's-HIS-fault
messages scholl by r.a.a. long enough to stop being silent. Isn7t it
time to stop alienating the "other guy" to keep your ego and pride?  
After all, just as how an anchorman should not put himself in front of 
the news, YOU should not be putting your self on a higher plateau than 
anime.  Like it or not, but doing that, you just alienate as many fans 
and potential fans (not to mention the "fans that might have been" if 
there had been a good con) by acting this way.
   Please don't start replying to this message... all that will happen is 
more of the little cry-baby "well don't blame ME" talk,and I for one am 
sick of it.  I just wanted you involved on ALL sides to know that some of 
us are just getting damn sick of it.  So get off your high horses and why 
not set your giant egos aside for a while to actually DO something.

Well, there are a lot of caucassion characters in Jademan comics.  Maybe

And this was right after the war.  It shows how quickly the Japanese

Well, the 'o' in mobius has two little dots above it.  It looks German or
some other European charater.  So, it's probably not MOE-bee-us.

Actually Saturday 9/5/92 (the catwoman episode) Batman was animated by
SUNRISE (formerly NIPPON SUNRISE).  The dailies so far have been done
by Spectrum Studios (I think they are U.S.).

The animation is impressive for television, much better  IMO than the
stuff on Japanese television (which HAS had a couple exceptions but is
generally really yucky lookin').    I think it'll be a good series.

Glad to hear the Dominion LD is better pressing quality than Miyu (I
finally got a chance to see it, nice subtitling job but the video 
quality needs improvement, the masters AnimEigo are using might be
fine for VHS but the LD really shows the limitations. ).

	Also:  Mind-blowing openings (like Jame Bond movies, you never know
what to expect), simple, easy to follow storyline which does not require
extensive knowledge of Japanese, lots of action which covers the "lull"
moments when there are plenty of dialogues.
	In addition, BGC makes great "anime 101" sessions for my guests.  :)

Perhaps this is blasphemous, but I really liked Harmony Gold's opening to
Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years (which was of course
lifted from something, but I don't know what).  I particularly liked
the part where the spires of rock erupt with water, which meshed very
nicely with the score.

The english dubbed version is being released by Streamline Pictures on
video for $29.95.  You are probably better off waiting to rent this
then to find a synopsis.  Check Ken Arromdee's ftp-script list for
possible leads to a script.  (I seem to have deleted my copy...)

Use MacCompress to uncompress .Z files on the Macintosh.  I believe

Last week, I saw US Renditions' dub of the first two episodes of
"Bio-Booster Guyver". The "Appendix" segments, during which we get a
look at Kronos' files, suffered somewhat--in the original animation,
spellings were screwed up because some sounds (L for instance), are
foreign to the Japanese language, so "Pressure" read "Plessure", and
"Oswald" became "Osward". 

I pose that a frame grabber and a program like Photoshop can be turned
upon primarily still sequences like those, and the Romanizations can
be corrected in each affected frame. Or, if you're really hot, you can
fix it in one frame, haul in the okay portions of each affected frame,
and jisgaw the sequence together. I forgot what you'd use to output
the thing to videotape, maybe MacroMind Director?
