Concerning the people who requested copies of the subtitled Honneamise:
I haven't checked today's mail, but I've received tapes thus far from
Lee Gum, Newton Oku, Jason Wang and Noe Saenz and I expect to receive
one from Nick Murray. If you haven't sent your tape yet, I can't
guarantee that I will be able to make the copy for you when it arrives.
If it turns out I can't, though, I will certainly return your tape.

For now, let me do some liner notes: thanks to (once again, back is the

Possibilities :

1) It's not pubic hair but some dark mark that 'by coincidence' looks
like that ("Censorship officer, I did pit dark marking on those parts"
saya the author :) );

2) It's pubic hair, but since that's not a shunga, censorship missed
it.

3) Someone rebuilt the lost data in the western edition.

Date: 18 Nov 92 05:33:02 GMT
Organization: Drexel University, College of Engineering, Philadelphia, PA

When I watched Animago release of Vampire Princess Miyu, I noticed that 
vampires were pronounced "vampire".  I was expecting to hear the Japanese
word for vampire, but then again the Chinese word for vampire translate
literally to "blood sucking ghost".

Is there vampires in Japanese Mythology, or is Miyu basically a westernized
vampire tale with some Japanese mythology elements mixed in?

I was in Japan when it happened.

A super creep by the name of Miyazaki Tsutomu (no relation to anime director
Miyazaki Hayao of Nausicaa, Laputa, TOTORO, Kiki,... fame) was arrested for
murder.  He has confessed to the killings of several little girls, including
mutilation (he ate their flesh) and, I believe, rape (I'm not sure whether
this was before or after he killed them).

He had a huge collection of anime, including a number of ``rori-kon'' (Lolita
complex) and violent anime.  Japanese animation has quite a bit in both
departments; ``Cream Lemon'' is among the mildest of the mild yet many
Americans find it highly offensive (my girlfriend could only stand about 1/2
of ``Pop Chaser'').  There's a lot worse.

He videotaped the torture and murder of some of the little girls, and the
police had to scan his entire huge collection to find those segments.  From
what I saw on TV, there had to be thousands of tapes.

Miyazaki Tsutomu is trying to escape punishment by claiming insanity; his
confession to cannibalism is seen by some as part of this attempt.  I don't
think the Japanese justice system is as bleeding heart as the US justice
system though.  Japan has capital punishment.

Anyway, this all brought about a fairly strong public reaction in Japan,
particularly against ``rori-kon'' and violent anime and manga.  Although it is
still possible to find quite a bit of (by US standards) ``X-rated'' anime and
manga in Japan, there is a definite tightening up in the market.  Also, people
who are perceived as being excessive in the anime/manga fandom are looked at
with a lot more suspicion these days.

The person who did the subtitles was at the Boston JS meeting in

that it was better than most anything US MC was working on.  He also
likes the Harmageddon release, and was showing a preview of it at the

Cute. :-) I expected something anime-related to happen as well, but I 
thought the ship would transform and start yelling "Akagayama,

Are you SURE she fought at all in the beginning? In number one, only the
other three took care of the first boomer, and Nene wasn't doing very
much against the Aqua-City-Absorbing Boomer. (Heck she was running away
from one of the "normal" boomers that was allied with Fredrick.) I also
don't recall seeing her do much in two or three either. I'll have to go
back and check, but even if she did fight, she didn't contribute much. I
don't even recall seeing her in hardsuit for number 4. (Priss went after
the Griffon while Sylia and Linna covered her.)

Yes, BubbleGum Crash was pretty bad (compared to the Crisis. By itself,
it's not THAT bad). What really bugged me was that Nene suddenly has
this ultra-sonic weapon and was kicking boomer. I liked her better as
the non-combatant.

Anyway, just my humble opinion.

Later,
The Chunger :)

 I tend to think of Priss as being the James Dean/ Marlon Brando `
(i.e. Rebel without a Cause) component of the KS ..
Linna is definitely the better fighter (cf. BGC 8)

	In Omaha, we have a large Anime presence at our local sci-fi/gaming

anime, and the two other rooms show anime off and on as well!  The last time
we had pirates in Omaha was during Omacon X, which was not even our convention,
but the group who preceded us.  So I can't really say anything about pirating,
but if you want to come to a convention which appreciates its anime fans,
and doesn't take a liking to video pirates, come to Omaha, Nebraska for
Impact 3 (Guests this year are Marion Zimmer Bradley and Larry Niven!)

	Anyone who is interested please email me and say so!  I will get 
you any information I have on the convention.

  Someone said, "When looking for cyberpunk look first for the towering
skyscrapers. . .Blade Runner influence."

OK, also check for nihilistic, pessimistic anti-heroes:
i.e. Daisuke from Battle Angel Alita (manga), Leon's female superior in ADPolice
Kiddy Phenil from Silent Mobius, Kaneda and Tetsuo from Akira (manga (the movie
did not show these traits in their characters)); Molly, Marid Audran, and/or
Deckard from American cyberpunk lit.

Monolithic power structures either in the shape of multinational corps or shady
national governments:
i.e. Genom from BGC, the Athena faction from Appleseed, the Colonel and the
national government in Akira (manga and movie); Wintermute, Friedlander Bey,
The UN, and Tyrell Corp. from American cyberpunk.

Computer networks, hackers or their psionic parallel, the psychic (though the
role of the psychic in cyberpunk is controversial since it detracts from the
role of information and technology.)
ie. Lebia Maverick in Silent Mobius, Tetsuo and the kids in Akira, Nene from
BGC (oh god, I can hear those flamethrowers now, Nene is a cyberpunk! NOOO!),
Case, Count Zero and Trent Castanaveras from American cyberpunk.

Oh yeah, scum, neon, plethora of brand-names, high-tech low-life, and a flavor
of internationalism don't hurt either.  See you in the dark future, chummers.

We'll, it's more of a blood-sucking corpse, really.  They sleep
in their coffins by day, and at night they hop around looking for
victims.  Yes, literally hop.  A Shi Shui Quei is a corpse, and
it suffers from rigor mortis like all corpses---it's too stiff to
walk properly (although it can stick its arms straight out to the
front).  But don't underestimate one: they're incredibly strong
and tough, and they hunt you down by smelling your breath.  I'd
say this is pretty far from the vampires described in VPMiyu.

Check out the Hong Kong movie "Mr. Vampire" (starring Ricky Hui,
I think) to see one in action.

Have I missed something here in this argument.  I really cant believe
anyone could be flaming someone for saying "They like a particular
anime because it appeals to their sense of humour".  Was that in fact
what Panda was doing??  If that is true, man, there's a problem with
a certain individual. I mean first what's wrong with saying I like something

be from another planet. Of course Panda, could be flaming those who 
doesnt like Ranma 1/2, so which is it?  I am real confused?!
