Does anyone know what exactly is the connection between Tamura Ryoko (?)
and Yawara?  I know that the Japanese wrestler is sometimes called Yawara-chan
by the media, and both characters lives were leading up to the Olympics, but
that's the extent of my knowledge (though I've started to enjoy the TV series
and wondered if anyone else has a collection of episodes.  Any information
would be appreciated!

What is the index of the Orange Road episode with the song "Like a Flower
of Salvia" in it and one end of a red ribbon gets tossed to Kyosuke and
the other wrapped around Madoka during a live performance?  (Which
episode number?)

1-- If you will note the hints at the end of the movie, don't A-ko's
parents look a BIT like Clark Kent and Diana Prince?  'Nuff said there.

2-- It's implied that it was a ship.

3-- "D" is a woman; didn't you notice that all the characters of note 
were female?  Yes, the captain is too.

4-- Because C-ko's ship's impact destroyed the original Tokyo, and C-ko 
landed here 16 years ago; she's 16 now, you'll note.

5-- It's heavily implied that B-ko is bi-sexual, and we get
hints that C-ko might be as well...she tells A-ko, "I like you very,
very much!"  The latter is up for serious speculation.

Anything else?

Article-I.D.: tuna.199210131821.AA15098
Organization: Mail to News Gateway at Wang Labs

Does anyone have anything to say about Dream Hunter REM?  I seem to remember
a complimentary 1 paragraph note about the first OAV (probably in
Protoculture Addicts), and there's an interesting looking summary of part 4
in one issue of A-Ni-Me.  I haven't run into a copy in the Boston area.
If it's well drawn, has a fair amount of symbolism and i can't understand
it, i probably want to start ordering the series...

And a question on releases and their pricing.  Laser Perceptions lists
part 1 as $128, parts 2 and 3 as $98, and "Dream Hunter REM New!" as $78.
Nikaku lists part 1 as $78 and has parts 2 and 3 on one LD for $78.  Is this
just a pricing differential?  Or perhaps the A-Ni-Me part 4, the Nikaku
part 1 and the Laser Perceptions "Dream Hunter REM New!" are all the same
thing?  Then the Laser Perceptions parts 1-3 being more expensive because
they are old and hard to get might make sense.  Bret at Manga-chan
suggested i call and get the LD numbers, but i'm hoping for more info
on chronology and contents than just the serial numbers.

Thank ye,

The KOR discs were pressed by Toho.  Funny thing is that the individual KOR

it's only the CAV sides that are rotting.  Go figure. :(

It's odd how it hasn't been mentioned,but what about the fact that there were
(seemingly) several hundred characters who were introduced in the various
Gundam OAVs,series,movies,etc.,only to arbitrarily disappear from the storyline
when a new series (Char's disappearance between ZETA and ZZ illustrates thhis)
rolled around? And what about the _other_ plot discontinuities between series?

Oh,yeah-the ultimate anime cheat movie has to be VENUS WARS,at least IMHO. The
movie can't hold a candle to the manga in terms of plot and the rotoscoping is
something Sunrise should've been sued for.

I just had the opportunity to take long-term evaluations of the 3x3 Eyes Soundtrack
Chapter One and Chapter Three.  Chapter One is simply superb; no complaints
whatsoever.  The instrumentals passed my expectations (which was rather high), and
3 out of the 4 vocal tracks turned out to be reallly pleasant surprises.  As for 
Chapter Three, it seems to be mostly re-iterations of Chapter One.  I kind of 
feel that there should only be one soundtrack instead of three.  I can't really
say until after I have listened to Chapter Two as well.  Anyhow, Chapter One 
covers pretty well all thye important themes in the series.

p.s. Chapter One also comes with a really nice box.

I'm selling my collection of Astroboy Comics, issues 1-7,9-20.
This is the American Comic based on the TV show.

All of the issues look almost new.

Issues 1+2 retailed for $1.50 each.  Issues 3-7, and 9-20 retailed for
$1.75 each.  Issues 11-20 have an astroboy poster inside.

I'm looking to sell the lot for $20, or best offer.  This includes
priority mail shipping within the United States.

Although I don't like breaking up sets, I might be willing to sell them
individually as well, probably at retail price (does not include the cost
of shipping).

So, make an offer today, before they're all gone...

I am another one who fell asleep while watching BGC 6.  
But..... 1) I had not watched BGC 5, in fact still haven't seen it.  Since
BGC5 and 6 is a series in itself, MAYBE watching BGC 5 before BGC6 would
help?  2) I watched a version without subtitle.  subtitled version might help?

IMHO, BGC 6 fits nicely into those "Grim Two Fisted Anime" category. ( and
most uninteresting category this is. )   Iczer-1, Dangaio are other examples
of this genre.  The primary problem of this genre is it's too full of itself.
They take it too seriously.  Needs to relieve a little.  Seems to fit the
taste of Superhero comic book readers very well.

On the other hand, BGC 8 you might want to try.  Nice balance of action and
humor and cuteness. ( but not sickly cute. )  Same for BGC 1.
