Yes, it was a parody of just about everything.  Superman and Diana
Prince (Wonder Woman) *CAN* produce a red-headed daughter raised in
Japan and speaking Japanese though.



The sequels pale in comparison to the original flick but some people
consider them worth watching.  (I do!)

ACtually Nomu/Namo showed up in an episode some 3 years ago, albeit in a

Subject: Fall of the Kadokawa Empire   
Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 92 07:21:06 GMT



This is a note ported from C-serve to Genie, now to here.  The original 
article was written in pretty broken english (transliterated or in an english
language japanese newspaper, or a report by someone after reading a said 
article) I don't know which.




	Fall of Kadokawa Empire

	Japanese weekly magazine Bungei Shunjyuu 11/13 issue reported the 
coup d'etat in Kadokawa Publishing Company.  Haruki Kadokawa , president
of Kadokawa Publishing, fired vice president Tuguhiko Kadokawa, his actual
younger brother, and Haruki set his son as vice president in place.  Then
71 editors including the president quit from Kadokawa's related company,
Kadokawa Media Offic.  Only three members remained.  Kadokawa Media Offic
has been publishing computer games, comics, and anime related magazines,
so serious problems will be occured at KAdokawa Publishing, especially
in anime and comics.  I have heard all the editors have thrown away their
jobs without taking over, even contact adresses of the artists! Now the
problems I have been criticizing have come true.

	Haruki Kadokawa is known to the curious actions, especially in 
religion.  It is said that Kadokawa replied the questions asking what was
your most important factors in your managements saying "Religion first,
Haiku second, business third".  He has been making a lot of liabilities
by the failure of investment of Hollywood Movie. The amount of the liabilities
recently is said to be over 17 Billion Yen.  Considering Kadokawa's 
profits in a year is 1.2 Billion Yen, this amount of liabilities is huge even
in Kadokawa company.  Thus vice president Tsuguhiko Kadokawa advised 
to Haruki to reduce liabilities from 18 Billion to 5 Billion but Kadokawa 
didn't listen and fired Tsuguhiko instead.

	I am afraid anime fans may lose one of the most important anime
magazines as well as a lot of titles of OAVs and Movies.  All came from the
actions of dictatorial leader, Haruki Kadokawa.





Now some notes,
anime titles from Kadokawa include Silent Mobius 1-2 (guess we know 
whether there will be a 3 now), Five Star Stories, part of Lodoss War.
The anime magazine is NewType, where the FSS manga is serialized and all
the Kadokawa anime is hyped 8-).

Sounds like a plan, but a couple of points:

NO form letters. Makes it look like the work of a very vocal minority.
Individual letters, even short notes, have more impact than even a 
significantly larger amount of Form letters.

There are probably more than 200 people reading this. A heavy metal 
newsgroup I read was just estimated as having approx. 42,000 people
reading it worldwide. There is FAR more traffic on this base, and I 
would say that at least 2000 is more like it. <I get the feeling that
most of the people reading this group, post>

Skip MTV, you want to write to Viacom, the owners.
Somewhere I have the name, address, and phone number of Viacom president,
Sumner Redstone. He would probably be a good one to try.

E-mail me for the address, and/or I will post it later.
Sounds good!

Well, in general, the "v" sounds are done with "b" kana.  So, for example,
"victor" becomes "bictor" etc.  "Buoy" sounds like a good phonetic
pronounciation for "V".

Beautiful Dreamer was translated and subtitled by AnimEigo for USMC,

I rented it  BY MISTAKE and thought the voices were terrible .. whoever
heard of going to Japan and Hong Kong and hearing people talk like 
they were in N.Y.C  .. I also have a funny feeling the BGM was changed too
It sounded too Holywood ..

I will definitely make a point of renting the import ...

That's MACROSS II, though... Since the subject line says Macross One

Organization: Sacramento Public Access Unix

Don't get me wrong, I have a TurboGrafx CD and a Genesis.
I just play my TurboGrafx a whole lot more than my Genesis.

Anyway, at this time there are STILL no games for the Genesis
(anime). There was mention of Silky Lip, et al, but they are NOT
anime. Sure, drawn in the style of anime, but still not based on
any anime, or manga, for that manner.

Yet. There will be a couple of games, but only a couple. Mamono
Hunter Yoko, I hear is going to be animated, but I doubt it (There
is a TurboCD version of it) And I forgot there's going to be a
version of Fushigi no Umi no Nadia for the MegaDrive. But since
the TurboCD version is going to be a CD-ROM, why bother with the
cartridge based version for the MegaDrive?

I've seen and played the Mega CD System, and I am impressed. There
is more full motion video thn there was with It Came From the
Desert, but then that was with the old (2.0) version of the CD-ROM
card on the TurboCD. However, NEC is coming out with NID, and that
is to surpass even the abilities of the MegaCD. (As reported in the
Japanese PC Engine magazines)

Still, if you want to play REAL anime games, then the choice is
TurboDuo.

I just received my copy of the first 8 television episodes.  There is
a fabulously annoying crackle and pop in the audio throughout the

Summary: what is with dubbing anyway?
Keywords: dubbings and why
Organization: University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada
Distribution: all
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 1992 00:46:17 GMT

  Hello everyone! I have been following some of the postings in regard to
Streamline pictures & Carl Macek and felt I needed to express some more
thoughts on the matter:

 1) People insist that if you don't like a Streamline product then either
don't buy it (Streamline's track record. Enough said) or tell Carl Macek
himself. I agree. Therefore I am requesting Carl Macek's e-mail address
from anyone who can oblige me.I would like to get to the bottom of the
controversy.Send the e-mail address to me at umsitho0@ccu.umanitoba.ca .

 2) Dubbing is a lost cause on two very important counts.First off, anime
is art. Just as an artist chooses the perfect color for a picture, the
artists on the animation team chose a voice tallent.Choosing a voice
tallent is not a casual thing as the many japanese voice tallents who are
not selected will tell you.How can anyone take a finished oil painting add
a couple of moustaches and eye glasses to the picture and expect anyone to
like it more than the original.  On the second count, dubbing is
physically impossible. People speak at different speeds and tones all
around the world. It is impossible to have a NATURALLY APPEARING anime if
it has been dubbed.

 3) I believe some one said that all Streamline is doing is dubbing the
voices over. Well I have to say that you are incorrect.Macek once said
that when he was doing ROBOTECH he had to CHANGE many things in order to
get a story out and also because there were some japanese traits and
customs that Americans WOULDN'T LIKE.(Personally I believe that Carl had
ruined the character of Minmei for all time.Never to become as great as
she could have been.) In Fist of the North Star isn't it true that Macek
had DECIDED to make Kenshiro inferior to Raoh when the fight scene was
BUTCHERED to show Raoh put Ken down for good? Couldn't Streamline CARE
ENOUGH to at least get the titles right?(Nadia)

 4)Carl was quoted as saying that he is an artist who is pleased with what
he has done. What I am about to say is a bit prejudicial ,but...GET SERIOUS!!
Who could be pleased with anything like the dubbed Vampire Hunter D?(the
scene where Doris is running at the very beginning: Doris: " ...oh...a
werewolf." Can you say that line any less like a non-lobotimized human being?)
No artist can be proud of this smag.

  Any who,any how, & any way I just wanted to get that long and overdue
message off my shoulders.(sigh) Again..e-mail Carl Macek's email address
to me at  umsitho0@ccu.umanitoba.ca           Thanks!
