OK, OK, listen up!!!
I've seen a lot of conversation on this net about when the best times to
visit DisneyLAND (NOT WORLD!!! I KNOW NOOOOOTHING ABOUT WORLD!!), so I
finally go tmy butt in gear and pulled out my crowd demographics from 1992.

Official stuff:!
(based on weekly averages)
September
September (after Labor Day), October, November (EXCEPT THANKSGIVING!):
 approx. 20,000 per day

Thanksgiving: 58,000

December (BEFORE XMAS!!): 15,000

Xmas, New Year's: 78,000

January, February (BEFORE WASHINGTON'S B-DAY) : 25,000

Washington's Birthday Week: 30,000-50,000 (variable dependent upon day)

March, April (BEFORE EASTER & SPRING BREAK): 37,000

College Spring Break times: 49,000

Easter: 57,000

May (BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY): 30,0000

Memorial Day: 38,000

June, July, August: 58,000

(thanks to Bob Sehlinger's "Unofficial Guide to Disneyland", a HIGHLY
 recommended travel guide!)

Unofficial stuff:

These are JUST AVERAGES, on July 4th, 1992, there were nearly 75,000
people in the park!!!  And keep in mind, New Year's and Xmas are the
MOST BUSY times for Disneyland. The quietest are the week after Labor Day,
the few weeks before Xmas, and February (if you don't mind attractions closed)
.  I hope this posting helps a lot of you with questions, I'll be glad to
help if you need further info.

of course, right after I post this I realize I shall check the page
numbers against volume issue, etc. if 40 pages per issue, 11 will
run about 440 pages, which will easily cover up to the story of 
Shampoo.  (from the end of the Ryoga story up to the end of Shampoo
story in book 4 is about 390 pages, so they might even cover some
of the Neko fighting style story. )

glad to see anything of R. Takahashi is actually making money w/ Viz, 
now if only they will do some Lum or Maison.

	Yeah, I think it was me... the kunedog.... the people you see

Knights. The one with a long strand of hair is also a Mirage Knight
(Geez, forgot her name)... I dunno which chick you're talking about...

Reply-To: axolotl@socs.uts.edu.au

Here's a brief synop/translation of Akira, starting from where the Epic
version leaves off, and finishing about 40 pages short of the end.
(BTW, my ... shop tells me that there won't be any new Epic Akira for
at least another 4 months.)  Remember, this ending, as originally
published in Young Magazine 2.5 years ago, won't ever be published again.

Thanks to Hao Le, Kunio Muto, and C. Ma, who all went to unreasonable
lengths to supply this information.  This is all the info I have.
Any corrections/additions most welcome (this is a bit rushed).

Spoilers:

After crashing Floyd onto the carrier, Tetsuo returns to the stadium,
where Miyako, Kiyoko and Masaru have arrived.  The three psychics attack
Tetsuo, but he manages to retreat, carrying Kaori's body to a space
underneath the stadium.  In the confusion, Kaneda and the Joker are separated
from Akira, and eventually they come across Tetsuo, who is grovelling in a
corner.  He tells Kaneda to leave, but he rapidly mutates and begins to
form a sphere of light (under Miyako's control?).

The sphere expands, annihilating the remains of the buildings.  At that
moment, Masaru and Kiyoko form another sphere of light, centered on Akira.
It expands rapidly and begins to absorb Tetsuo.  Kaneda, who had survived,
watched dumbfounded as the two spheres of light fused.  "In the beams of
light, the story of mankind and space itself is about to be told."

Kaneda was flying through light and the remnants of Tetsuo's flesh, and was 
engulfed by his super-evolved brain.  He experienced life through Tetsuo's
eyes (kind of in reverse):

Kaneda: Tetsuo! What's up!

  "Can you hear me? KAORI!"

Kaneda: What's wrong... Tetsuo...

  "Ka.. ne .. da.."

Colonel: Hold it.  I've waited a long time for this moment...

Yamada:  I'll use PIC-24... the most lethal gas our scientists could develop...

Lieutenant:  American troops are coming to attack us! Please...
             Use your power... 

Pilot:  What the hell's that?

  "That didn't hurt a bit!" A ha ha ha"

Miyako:  You must overcome your weakness before you can control your power.

Akira: I am... here!

Admiral: That monster... he's the culprit.

  "Get out of here!"
  "You're Kei... aren't you..."
  "That's it!  Those guys can..."

Karma Tangi: Your body can no longer contain the power, so it seeks to
             absorb other things!"

Miyako: To be free of yourself...

Followers:  Great Lord!  All hail our Great Lord!

(Confronting Ryo and Yamada by the ocean)
(Scrabbling for drugs)

	Yeah, there was some work by Tetsuo Hara a few years ago. It's
the work he did in between Hokuto No Ken and the current work he's
doing right now. I believe the name was "Cyber Blue" or something like
that.. The story is finished, and there are 3 or 4 volumes of them.

     Since i also want what I believe corrected, if wrong, I am posting
my answer.
  
     1. V.P. Yuri is the lost sister to Miyu.
     2. a. see part 1.
        b. Miyu was only there to inform,convince,etc.. yuri of her ties
           with the Vampires (or whatever)
        c. No real ties with VPM, but the same diffucult reading.
     3. I don't know about the rest of the net, but I personally prefer
        Yuri better.  Maybe it is because I can understand it better.

Winter Story is about this "Ronin" guy... a guy who fails to get into
a college..... they study for the next few months when they have exams
again in January/February. It might be similar to KOR that there are
two women in between him... Personally I liked it. Although you still

He has a load of other stuff, from years back, I'd rather not mention
that because it's not that good. Currently, he does "Yattaroujan" in
Big Comic Spirits (It's about a high school baseball team) and "Come
On A My House" in Young Sunday (There is a crude translation done by
me on alt.manga). He's good at these Men/women relationship type
stories...

Another complaint (aside from not flipping a lot of english-language
text) is the number of ads in issues 3-4 of Ragnarok Guy.  I counted 14
full pages, out of a total of 32, that were ads (and all from the same
"company").  Paying $2.50 for a poor quality item printed in Mexico with
only 18 pages of story?  C'mon, be serious.

I did appreciate that the four Raika issues that came out had (at max in
one issue) no more than 4 pages of ads.  I wish that Toren Smith had
gotten his hands on this title as he wished that he could've (said so at
WonderCon last year).  It would've been a much higher quality set-up,
IMHO.

1 The script for Angel's Egg has been completed by Enrique Conty. It was
  posted to the Nausicaa list about 2 weeks ago. It is now located at
  listserv@brownvm.brown.edu which is site #6 on the script list.

2 The Ranma 1/2 Movie script is complete. For those of you who subscribe to
