Speaking of LTV (well, not speaking of, but I was reminded of, well, anyway),
I rented Plimptoons: The complete works of Billy Plimpton the other day, and
for being complete, it was missing some key 'toons. "Push Comes to Shove"
wasn't there, as was a short about a guru on a mountain I barely remember
(NOT the statue bit from LTV). Is this release really only part one of a
complete Billy Plimpton? If not, I missed PCtS.

Still, it's wonderful watching. I hadn't seen "How to Kiss" before, and
it had me rolling on my floor laughing -- something usually only Ren and
Stimpy have me doing.

He had to ask...  ^_^

CONTY 1/2:  Situation comedy where a paunchy otaku in his mid 20's falls
	    into the showhost-drown-spring at Jhuuusenko(sp, as usual).
 	    Now  when Conty gets wet, he transforms into... into...
	    Ed Sullivan! <SPLOOSH!> "We have a rilly big shoo tonight..."

VAMPIRE HUNTER C:  Horror story where a paunchy otaku in his mid-20's fights
	    against Count Meisek, who is hell bent on corrupting
	    the world's anime supply with bad scripts and worse dubs.

SD CONTY:   No real idea per se.  But the thought of a SD poster
	    frantically typing into a SD terminal was just too funny...

CONTY-KUN:  Hey kids!  It's fun and adventure with Conty-kun and his friends!
	    Meet the knowledgeable Gaver-sensei, the powerful Woodhead-sama,
	    the prolific WedgeRats, the amazing Tatsugawa-san, and the
	    undescribable PUMA!  [This was supposed to be a DRAGONBALL parody,
	    so of course EVERYBODY in r.a.a. got a role, eventually ^_^]

CONTY III:  Same as Lupin III.  Not at all original, but the Lupin III
	    concept is just too cool for words.  ^_^

CONTY MOMO: Yet another "magical girl" anime, in which a little girl uses
	    a magic wand to transform herself into a paunchy otaku in his
	    mid-20's.  Never got past pre-production stage, thank heavens. B-)

Ah, Marine Boy! One of the favorite shows of my youth.  I used to
watch it back-to-back with Space Giants, Speed Racer and Ultraman and
wish that the icky girls on my block could be more like Neptina. I
actually have a tape of this bought at a con, and boy was I surpised
at how poor the quality of the animation was! The most notable thing
aobut it was that a Corrinne Orr did the voices for M-Boy (male lead),
Neptina (female lead), and that annoying dolphin, plus some incidental
characters. Must have done a lot of talking to herself in the studio.

PS-Yes, it is anime. From the late 60's, I believe.

Lucky for you!  Macross II has been aquired by U.S. Renditions and the
first two parts are available, dubbed in English, for $24.95 (For
BOTH!)  This is probably the best way to learn the actual plotline.
You can purchase these videos at your local comic shop or you can
order them from various mail order places such as Nikaku Animart.


The dubbing isn't perfect but it's not too bad, and since you have
seen the originals, you can go back to watching them after you have
viewed the USR versions.

Don't they have some kind of anime fan club going?  I got some promo literature
on it, but no real details... Do they lower the prices of the tapes and stuff
for your $12.95 (or whatever the price is....).  Somehow it just doesn't seem
worth it.

Just a little aside here.  Having fought a number of women in the course of
my Martial arts training, and watched a much larger number fight(I can't 
compete with them in tournaments obviously.), I have to say that there is
close to no Chest size that you cannot learn to deal with during a fight.
This assumes of course that you ARE a trained fighter, and have had the
chest for awhile,that is, it is the original equipment.

And if the woman in question has a gun, then the chest is no longer really
a factor.

What's worse than people assuming that women have to have big breasts to be
beautiful is thinking that just because they actually have the specified 
equipment, they are suddenly unable to function as well as anyone else.
I know a few women who'd just LOVE to demonstrate 8-).

By the way Ryan.  HI!  It's good to see you have a new home on the net.

The usual mailorder places like Mikado, Nikaku, and maybe Laser Perceptions

Just to be helpful, there is also one in Philadelphia,Pa. on South Street near
about 4th.  (And on in Austin, TX on Guadalupe, but that is beside the point!)

However, a friend of mine here says he once tried to order anime CDs through
the Tower in Austin and they gave him a big run a round and he never
succeeded.

There are at least four in NYC.  There is also a "Tower Books" which
is a bookstore.  I wonder if they import books???  Hmmmm.... I

	Nah, it wasn't by Operation X.  There was something about "Lupin IV"
and "Crusher Dan" during the closing credits.  It was kinda pitiful :-.
