I read a few installment of Ghost in the Shell in Young Magazine.  I feel that
Ghost in the Shell is rather comlicated in background and characters, but
Orion words things in a very strange fashion.  I can hardly imagine how Orion
would be translated.  There are a lot of terms in Orion which are actually
parallels of our present day terms.  For example, one major topic involved
in the book is what I guess would be called 'falsology' (It literally translates
to the study of false), but I think it's a parallel of what we called 'science'.
If I read right, these two words would have the same pronounciation, but different
text.  I am amazed that you can read through that amount of Japanese text
in 20 minutes.

Well, that explains why one of Utsumi's assistants in Patlabor looks so

And that is really not scratching the surface of what the stories are

Subject: Takahashi's latest?
Date: 8 Oct 92 06:05:39 GMT
Article-I.D.: sumax.5339
Organization: sumax city 0092

according to the Oct. NewType's interview of Takahashi R. that she
has a short, 2 parts story appear on one of the mag for 4th (or is it
3rd?) graders, big king or something, anyone know anything about it?

I myself personally now think Takahashi is preparing for the end of 
Ranma 1/2 since the TV series had ended.   I simply can not see
her keep doing it without the side money from the TV series.  
the smart money is for her to start a new series, and thus new 
materials for the TV company.  

beside, I think she had just about running out of possible pairing
for Ranma with anyone else :)  before the end I really wish to see:

Kasumi get mad ONCE (what can she do you ask?  well, refusing to 
cook dinner, for starter :) 

Ryoga and Ukyou find each other (otherwise we will have two quickie 
characters introduced just for the ending like Nagisa and Inaba.)

Shampoo's ending can be quite easy actually, give Mosses contact lense and
let him beat Shampoo in one the contest will do.

and someone please, outsmart Nabiki ONCE.  

oh well, one can dream.....

and if you do, beware of Baku! :)

MR ARASHI'S AMAZING FREAK SHOW, by Suehiro Miruo.

Has anyone seen this?  There was an English-language version produced
by Blast Books.  It reads right-to-left (like the original), and sound
effects are not re-drawn, the English translation is written on the side
instead.

The art and story on this book are very disturbing, and very well done.
It's one of those things that repulse and attract me at the same time.

At any rate... what else has Miruo done?

I'll be darn if somebody does manage to do the manga for the WHOLE
Romance of the Three Kingdoms.  In which case Patrick Y. would probably 
have dedicate his life translating this thing.  Other possibilities
Legend of Waterside, or better yet Plum in the Golden Bottle (in which case
I would offer my humble effort).  this is, of course, getting way off the
topic.

I heard some Jing Yong novels have been translated into Japanese, but so 
far no attempts in trying to manga-nize them.  Not that it would be a small
feat either.....  (a typical JY novel could run on weekly basis for good 
5-10 years).

Things are getting interesting again in 3x3 Eyes, though chr*st knows
it took long enough.  Spatzug is still alive, and he has a new left arm --
it has this membrane which can absorb Yakumo's Kuan-Yaa (I guess he doesn't
want any other parts of his body cut off).  The episode ends with Galga
appearing on the scene.

Does anyone know what Gamma (?) magazine is?  This is the one that
runs another one by Takada,  "Blue Seed" (looks interesting, it
was advertised in the back of the Comiket Catarogue).

well, when Takahashi decide to end a specific title, she usually made up her
minds at least half a year beforehand, (Maison Ikkoku), in the case 
of Urusei Yatsura it took almost a year (all the way back to the introduction
of Inaba), if possible Takahashi would like to end the story with 
completeness (like Maison), or if not possible, at least for the 
major characters (Shinobu and Ryunosuke of UY), you always looks for 
hints of such occurance, or a story which will finish the unfinished business
in the beginning of the serial (like KOR or City Hunter), 

you always tag on 3 more books from the latest published compilations to 
keep up from the latest weekly serialization.  (of course, unless you
are counting for a slow author like Masamune Yuki)  there shall be enough
materials for up to book 25 (11 weeks/chapters make up one book), I 
figure Ranma will go for another half a year or so, wanna bet the 
end is book #28 +-1? :)

one thing for sure, it will be hard for Ranma to exceed the UY counts of
34 books (that means another @2 years of materials)

Would be nice if Mousse defeated Shampoo fair and square, due to some

First things first:  it is NOT polite to put someone's private e-mail

you should be more careful in the future.

Yes.

Well, it was available to my local store.  Then again, they order stuff
direct from AnimEigo and CPM, so I assume my store is not typical.
I don't know if the book is available THROUGH Capitol and/or Diamond, though.

Honest-to-goodness.

One.  It's a book.  :-)

Heh, my ending would have Akane dipped in Nannichuan.  Ranma and Akane run off
together into the sunset.  "Are you two going to keep on fighting?" "Sure, til
the day we die."

Don't worry.  Most Ranma readers aren't old enough to remember UY.

I find this really unlikely from the American censorship board (do they 
even have one? :)  consider all the other stuffs (including adults) 
that had made its way into the Kino stores.

the only way to explain the censor, if there is one, is the self censorship
from Japan itself.  like the Video Girl episode, and more than likely,
they are sold out.

consider how long #22 had come out in Japan, Aussie, S. CA, etc.  this is
really late for a censor operation.....

hmmmm, I guess I will check my local Kino more often now.......

so what do you people think of it?  so far I think we have two monthly

I can tell who he is), but for the rest of the black guys they tend
to blur and seems to be the same, (very hard to tell Cooper, Worthy,
Green apart, and I can only tell who Kareem is by his height, bold head,
and glasses.  the design on Bird is quite disappointing, I never remeber
Bird with that much hairs :)  The design on Dr. J. is quite bad too, 

story:  since there is only two installment so far they are quite
skimpy and.....on the side of Lakers and Magic, (they sure handle
the Westhead firing on the Magic side :)  and as a Laker hater I simply
can't believe how 'pure' they portray the pro. players.

hmmmm, I thought Ghost in the Shell is more difficult the understand than
Orion, Orion all deals with Eastern culture, while GitS had more to do
with western culture, and more specifically, virture/cyber space.
(and try to translate it back into English!)

when I read the translation of Dark Horse (from the preview of Anime UK)
they are quite literal, and thus, sounds corny, we'll see.

really, the first time I went throught it in 15-20 minutes, of course, I read
and reread it many, many times after.  I actually felt like watching a
Hong Kong kung-fu comedy movie, to tell the truth, this is really one 
Shirow's work that make me say "what a blast!"  reading it slowly may
reduce your enjoyment, actually.
