Got to echo my agreements here.  As for Animerica, I kept thinking more of it as"USA Today".  Too many tables, not enuff meaty text.

I don't understand why IWC call the label Manga Video.  I suppose it's
because folks won't know better.

Those shops who order directly from the UK to get their copies of 2000AD

Summary: Thanx for this year!
Keywords: Christmas, New Year

Hello folks,
 
I'd just like to wish everyone in r.a.a greetings, for a wonderful
Christmas, and a memorable 1993. 
 
In the short time that I've been on r.a.a, I've have been entertained
and informed by the various debates that have passed through here, and
I hope for more of the same in the New Year.  Despite the flames and
(IMHO) waseful bandwidths (some of which I caused myself) I think that
everyone who reads and posts here basically enjoys it here.
 
Next year we have some events to look forward to.  There's Project
A'kon in Texas, and the two big ones in the middle of the year, Anime
America and AnimeExpo.  I've all but confirmed myself for AnimeExpo,
and I look forward to meeting many of you there.  Anime America is a
problem, as I don't think I have enuff money for accommodation to
stretch to the earlier weekend, but who knows.
 
Anyway, I'd better stop now (I think the season's getting to me), so
for those who are taking the opportunity to have a break over the
festive season, I'll see you next year.  I'll still be here for the
couple of days between Christmas and the New Year, so I'll still be
reading r.a.a.
 
Thanx muchly.

We get to see more of her as Minako in episode 36.
I still don't like her voice that much..
Usagi also lets down her hair so Usagi and Minako look similar.

Subject: Hotel Info: Anime Expo '93
Date: 14 Dec 92 03:09:11 GMT
Organization: The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation

As long as we are on this SiliCon/AA thread, I might as well describe
the hotel at Anime Expo.  Anime Expo will be hosted in the Oakland
Convention Center and Parc Oakland Hotel.  We are in the financial
district of Oakland (insuring safety and lots of nearby banks) and are
on the border of Chinatown (lots of CHEAP food.)  I would say that
there are about 50 places to eat within a five block radius of the
hotel, so saving money and eating well will be no problem.

Because of the rapid growth of Expo, we are moving to the OCC because
it is in the heart of the Bay Area.  Almost everything (except San
Jose) is connected to the Oakland Convention Center via the Bay Area
Rapid Transit System (BART) a type of pseudo-subway system the holds
the Bay Area infrastructure together.  You can enter the BART station
at OCC and $1.55 and 10 minutes later, pop out at the downtown
shopping district in San Francisco or $.80 and 5 minutes later, be at
U.C. Berkeley.  You can clearly see the advantage in terms of getting
fans to the Expo and visitors to other site-seeing areas in the Bay
Area.

The Oakland Convention Center and the Parc Oakland Hotel will be the
crown jewel of Expo.  We are currently looking at moving the Dealers'
Room to the West Hall of OCC, resulting in about 25,000 square feet of
dealers' space.  This means that the dealers room will be more than
three times the size of the dealers' room at Anime Expo '92.  With the
quantity of dealers who have expressed an interest in being at Expo,
we believe that everything will fit in nicely.  There is also a
refreshment stand and eating area in the dealers' room as well.

The Art Show will also be housed in the West Hall.  It should be
featuring both models and art work and will take up about 7,500 square
feet of space.  This means that the art show will be three times
larger than the art show last year.  With the spectacular prizes
offered by Newtype Hobbies & Toys, we believe

We have confirmed that there is hiss there that shouldn't be.  We
are currently trying to determine what went wrong.  More details as
they become available.

The other 3 LD's should not have this problem, as they were mastered
in a different way with noise-reduction processing done in Japan and
digitally stored on the D2 master.

BGC 1-3 were originally done at a time when we were evolving our
standards for use of language, especially with regard to mapping of
Japanese profanity (relatively mild, with tone and context being most
important) to English (a much bigger volcabulary).  When we redid 1-3,
we updated the translation to our current standards.

Vampire Hunter D is based on Western vampires. The impalement doesn't
kill the vampire, but leaves it in the equivalent to a coma. The hand,

"Matters To Me"

IS: Project Eden


No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm gonna live for you
No matter what it means
You're all that matters to me

It's been a long time, yea
I'm trying so hard to find the key
to that heart of yours
there's so many doors to be opened.

I'll have to try each one,
until good luck starts to run my way
Know I'm gonna win,
time is closing in, but I'm patient:
I know.
In the search for love I found you
I can't let you out of my sight, baby

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm gonna live for you
No matter what it means
No matter where you are
I'll be your lucky star,
No matter what the time,
I'm gonna make you mine
You're all that matters to me

I know it's hard for you
to find the right thing to do for me
but I told you once,
there's no need to rush, 'cause I'm patient
I know.
In the search for love I found you
I can't let you out of my sight, baby

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm gonna live for you
No matter what it means
No matter where you are
I'll be your lucky star,
No matter what the time,
I'm gonna make you mine
You're all that matters to me

All my life, for you, I've waited
Now my chance is here I'll take it
In the search for love I found you
I can't let you out of my sight baby

No matter what you say
No matter what you do
I'm gonna live for you
No matter what it means
No matter where you are
I'll be your lucky star.

I think I have a question I'll need the collective
gestalt of r.a.a. to answer:

	On some e-mail communication with another poster (a Japanese
	native), we were discussing Akane's sexuality (this being
	the ORANGE ROAD Akane).

	He says that Akane, contrary to American otaku opinion,
	is NOT a lesbian.  He also added that the kind of "idol
	crush" that Akane feels towards Madoka is not as unusual
	in Asian countries as it is here in the US.

	Now, I didn't see any actual evidence that Akane IS
	a lesbian, other than Kyosuke's guess in the "Hurricane
	Akane" OVA.  And the other poster's comment would
	explain several other anime scenes, like Noriko
	Takaya's reaction when she meets Kasumi Amano for the
	first time (the anime is GUNBUSTER, natch).

Any evidence to support his point?  Any evidence to refute it?
Anyone?
