There was some extra footage added.  Plus, the opening scene of
Sir Violet (first scene in the beginning of Act 3) was moved
to the very beginning.  A scene I am very interested in is
the one just after Cobalt is killed and Sir Violet talks
to Cepia about her new partner.  The implication from the added
scene (and therefore, not in the posted scripts) is that
Iczer Two was based on Cepia's genetic structure.

Can anyone clarify?

Ida know about that...I was told that Teresawa-san simply does NOT
do sketches of ANY kind in Japan.  Nor does he sell any of his
comic art.  As a result, there are a good number of otakus in Japan
that'd pay a good chunk o' dough for a Teresawa original sketch.

Also, the "pay-for-sketch" became "whim of the artist"  If the
artist in question felt like doing sketches, then you got lucky,
if not...you didn't.

Rumour has it that Streamline Pictures will be releasing a subtitled
copy of Akira in the near future.  They are the ones that distributed
the current English dub.  (Being released by Criterion in a bi-lingual
format).  The subtitled version is already available in England and
maybe Australia (but I doubt that helps)

Fortunately, Streamline Pictures is also releasing the Robotech
series, with the corresponding episodes from the original series with
subtitles! (for example, the first tape will have the first two
episodes of Robotech and the first two episodes of Macross with
subtitles)  These should be available at most comic shops that carry
videos when they are released sometime next year.

Ryan, you are absolutely right, on two counts. First, that by 
implication, I was slamming MT. Second, that I didn't realize that it was 
slamming.

OTOH...I have to call 'em the way I see 'em. I want a public discussion 
of the issue with Mike Tatsugawa, in front of the people who will be most 
effected by the conversation. He is, by his own admission on-line, going 
to ignore my posts. Which is a darn sight better than a flame-war, 
although I resent being compared to Brin Mclaughlin in either tone or

Oh, I see what you're getting at.  That, too, is not entirely clear.  I

In this context, "Kimagure" effectively means "capricious".  The note
in Animag 4 was referring to Kimagure Orange Road.

If I remember correctly, the note referred to the release of the
KOR Movie and the first 2 OAVs ("Hawaiian Suspense" and "White Lovers").

Not surprising. I heard about the volcano eruption in the Philipines
within seconds of it happening, as one of the internet people was
sitting on the US AFB near where it happened and was logged on at the
time.

Didn't hear it on the radio until about two hours later. :)

Although I have not directly worked with CC, I was around a project that was
adapting CC for satellite transmission.  (The BMAC satellite format removes
the VBI where CC is stored.)  But I did see what CC is capable of:
1) Both pop-up & scrolling captions are possible with both # of lines and
   vertical & horizontal position controllable
2) Caption removal occurs either when a new caption is sent or a clear screen
   code is given.
3) Would you believe both color & italics!?!

The real difficulty is placing them stratigically on the screen, keeping
up with the dialog (I saw some attempts at keeping up with hockey
commentators, not very successful.)  And having the words on the screen
long enough to be read.  (Much harder than you might think.)

As to modifying circuitry...

Getting rid of the background is tricky because the captions represent a
high frequency signal on top of the picture.  The black background is
somewhat neccessary to minimize the bandwidth of the signal an prevent
filter ringing.  (I had to do some shaping PROMs for exactly this purpose.)

The font could be modified on a decoder basis, but would be pretty
useless because it would then be incompatible.  The horizontal & vertical
spacing is a character/line count.  Also, the CC font was designed to be
read at a distance on a small TV.  I'm sitting 12" from a 14" monitor so
12point type is possible.  But at 3' there's no way I could read something
smaller than an inch high.

Any more questions?
