I could just see it... night after night, working over a thankless, nausiating
show, the poor subtitler started to go a bit... funny. Mad cackles emerged from
behind the tangle of cables, wires, and hardware. Wild howls of "I like it! I
really *like* it, giggle, giggle" echoed in the tiny, poorly lit cubicle. One
more soul warped and twisted into foul, unclean dementia by a USMC "filler"
title.

Sigh. Pity the poor fools. They know not what they do.

There IS an anime-based game for NeoGeo!!  It's Super 8-Man, based on the manga 
and anime series!  And yes, I've played it, and it's quite good.  Great 
graphics, even for the ol' side scrolling type.  It's available for the home 
NeoGeo system.  I'm surprised that there are'nt any otakus that have SEEN this 
game yet!  But then again, that's just me.  I hope they bring out a few more 
anime-based games...one can only hope.

	What with all this talk about who's the best/fattest/most/important
/chubbiest/kickest/smoothest/acrobaticest(?!!)/funniest/cutest/favorite
Knight Saber, I can't help but want to put in my opinions in as well.
Please note that these are just my opinions, and they are no way
intended to sway your own votes, since a personal axiom of mine is that
you can't change a person's opinion. That's why it's called an opinion! :)
	First of all, allow me to divulge that Nene is the one that gets my
vote, because she's my FAVORITE Knight Saber. Not because she's most
important, cutest, or whatever. Now allow me to explain why she's my favorite.
	What I like about her character above the others is simply because
she's flawed.
	(Sound of hundreds of Nene-fan owned flamethrowers being primed.)
	Wait, wait. Let me explain. Any writer will tell you that a flawed
character makes for an interesting character. Why is Ranma 1/2 so
popular? I think one of the reasons is it's because all the characters
are flawed in one way or another. That makes them human, believeable
(well, it goes so far). Sure, Sylia's cool (i.e. least likely to panic),
and Priss is a great boomer-bomber (I really like her quick comebacks,
especially at Leon), and Linna is the most compassionate (and I LOOOVE
those whip-like dohickies), but they are not very believeable to me. The
basic solution for almost any one of them would be to beat up a boomer.
Genom's getting you down? Beat a boomer. Your friend got killed? Beat a
boomer. (This sounds like a nifty song, no?) Don't get me wrong; I like
them all. And they are all very important to the group.
	What I like about Nene is that, even with her flaws, she's able to win
in the end, due to determination, compassion, and hard work. Also, I'll
admit it: her little mistakes can make pretty funny situations, and I'm
a sucker for humor (check out BGC 8, natch!). I also like her spunk. She
seems to bounce around from scene to scene somehow.
	Being the non-combatant doesn't mean she's any less important. (As a
matter of fact, I really can't stand the fact that they made Nene into a
fighter in BGCrash!.) This only distinguishes her more from the rest of them.
	Okay, okay, yeah, and her expressions are kind of cute. :)
	Anyway, that's all for now. Again, this is in no way a flame or
whatever; I have really enjoyed reading all of your opinions and views.
Please post or e-mail (I loooove getting mail!) your responses,
arguments, etc. I really like to know what you think about what I think.
Anyway, I'll end my blithering here and return you to your regularly
scheduled newsgroup.

Later!

I think the anim Miyu is probably a blend of Western and Eastern Mythology.
Miyu is probably based on the classical Western vampire.  Why else would
crosses, and holy water be used against her?  Both objects are strictly
holy items from Judo-Christian religion.  The only difference between Miyu
and a classical western vampire is a limited life-span.  In Miyu, the vampire
are a race related to the Shimna [sic?].  They grow up, and they bear children.
Their victims do not become vampires.  The reason why Miyu is not affected by
any of the usual holy items is because the Shimna removed all the vampire
limitations from Miyu (including aging), so she can accomplish the task of
returning the stray Shimna to the Dark.

If I remember correctly, Eastern vampires supposedly have no flesh over their
foreheads, can turn invisible.  They cannot control animals or shape-change.
But I do not remember where this source of information come from, nor do I
know what Eastern region this description originated from.  I am not sure if
there is a Japanese equivalent of the Western vampire (I can't find a book on
Japanese Mythology!).

Well, it turns out this was my fault.  Fast forwarding and rewinding the
entire tape got rid of the problem, so either there was a bit of something
on the tape or heads, or the tape needed retensioning, or something.
Anyway, the crackle is gone and my enjoyment is now complete!

Larry Greenfield's Housecleaning Sale Part III (sort of). I spent the whole
day cleaning out the closets of the house. There are two items that might be
of interest to those here. (1) A HARDCOVER KANJI USE DICTIONARY. This is
almost 500 pages, hardcover, and has never been used. I picked it up a few
years back at the college bookstore. There's still the $43.15 price sticker on 
it.  It's published by Gakken, and should be very good for those wanting to
learn kanji.  Each kanji has examples (words) and shows how to make them. 
Very good reference book.  I don't know what the list price is, but I paid
$43.15 at the college bookstore, and it's unused, in excellent condition. 
I'll let it go for $25 including shipping (it's heavy, I figure shipping and
padded envelope will cost me around $4-$5). It's called "A New Dictionary of
Kanji Usage"  (2) SMALL TOTORO STUFFED ANIMAL.  This is the smaller Totoro,
about 5 inches tall, and nice and plump. :)  It's in excellent condition also 
(kept it in a box).  It still has the Tokuma Shoten tag on it, and is like
brand new.  $25, and that will also include a box and postage shipping it to
you.  The first "I want it" post for either item that comes my way will get
it. :::::Larry:::::
Now, the problem is that my normal usenet BBS, tsoft, is down for repairs for 
probably a little while. If you really want the stuff here's what you can do:
Call Animag BBS (415) 341-5986 (new callers can still leave me mail) and leave 
me a message saying "I want it".  That's the fastest way. If you're not able
to do so, you can try emailing me at a local BBS that will receive and send
internet mail... but it taks usualy 1-2 days each way for mail to come in (as 
it only processes mail once a day). Here's the address for that one:
  rcisnet2!color_galaxy_an!larry_greenfield@moon.nbn.com
I can't guarantee 100% the above address will work, but it has worked in the
past.  So try Animag if you can to leave me a message, if not try the above
internet address. The first "I want it" post gets it.
