The Regent is a Carl Macek creation. No it is not a mispelling. As I said above
Legios is the name of when an alpha and beta are linked.

Mospeada stands for

Auto

While I agree with practically everything seawasp+@pitt.edu (Ryk E
Spoor) wrote in his article <6785@blue.cis.pitt.edu.UUCP>, Fist of the
North Star isn't that bad of a story. I do not include the movie when I
say this. The movie was a bad cut up of the original series, with
better(and more graphic) animation. Heck, I'm not saying the series is
four star material, but Kenshiro is shown more as a tragic figure than a
macho guy in the series. The same goes for Raoh(the really bad guy).
Raoh started out as a little kid tring to take care of both himself and
his little brother(a semi-big character in the series) and was taken
care of by the North Star-style teacher(Ken's teacher too). He grew up
corrupted with power, but Ken is what Raoh should have been. These two
are different only in their goals. The series is pretty interesting in
the way it explores these two characters' different paths and
confrontations. The series gets kinda philosophical at times, but it's
still a "fight"-oriented story. Again, I'm not saying Fist of the North
is a great series and some people may still consider it a bad one, but I
definitely believe it deserves a lot more respect than the movie.

        Kasumi is nice, but she's SOOOO stupid!!  I think she is cute, nice,
cooks good food, and is an incredible housewife, but she wouldn't be much for
conversation would she?
        The best Ranma fiance' is probably AKANE!  (No wonder).  All the others
have these irritating little flaws (like turning into a cat, thinking
Ranma-kun is yakisoba, having an irritating as hell laugh, etc..)

        (But yeah, I would marry Kasumi maybe:)

I know, let's start an australian war-of-the-cons. :) NOT!

But Perth would be better suited, due to its warmer mediterranean
climate, and cleaner city layout (read: less pollution), and wonderful
surroundings (beaches, outback, etc.)...

Plus, we have a big fan base already established.

To be honest, though, a lot of Japanese tourists come down here...
Maybe getting a few guests over under the assumption of "working
holidays" (get them new ideas for them to blow up Australia more
realistically)... :)

if I'm wrong but I thought that Mikado's prices were supposed to be

  YES, PLEASE !! (please excuse the over jubulant shouting).

  Mac-heads will be pleased to know that a copy of "SoundExtractor"
will peal the sounds out of a .VOC file (from the Data Fork), and
turn them into System 7.0.x+ compatible sounds.

  I've got a couple which I use for beeps and start-up sounds
on my Mac, but they are _WAY_BIG_.

  Beginning song for BGC #5 (midnight rambler) which plays in
the background while the shuttle heads towards Earth is 1.6 meg,
and the "Wachaman Kyoju" sequence from Dirty Pair's "Project Eden"
is .7 meg.  Both are crystal-clear, and really great sounds on
mid-range and larger Macs.  They don't suck too much on SE's
running System 6, either, but you need to be a power-user to get
them into the system so they work.

  I'm working on "how embarassing" (se gose [sp?]) from Project AKo
for a beep, and some other bits and pieces as they peak my
curiosity.

  But ... and I mean it, BUT ... I'm not going to be the first
to start uploading gigs of sounds to rec.arts.anime -- I suggest
that they go to alt.binaries.sounds.misc.

  I'll clean up a couple of the better (and smaller) ones, and
send them there in .VOC and Mac sound formats sometime in the 
next couple of weeks when I get a chance.

  If enough people can't get the alt.* groups, then I suppose
a few of the smaller sounds might be ok here, but they'd get
run off of the list in just a couple of hours here with all
of the traffic r.a.a gets.

  Ciaran.

Hello everyone,

      My name is Christina Tang(Pui Yee). I've just signed up for this
newsgroup, and I really don't have a clue to what you guys are supposed to do.
I've read plenty on Japanese comics (translated in Chinese), but I can't recall
most of the characters' names in English.  Anyway, I signed up because it was
the only way to get in touch with people of the same interests.  I was born and
had lived in H.K. for 11 years, then I moved to New Zealand where I had just
left after 7 years.  I am currently one of the VERY FEW Chinese in my school
here in USA.  I miss sharing my interest such as comics, and Karaoke etc with
my friends.  So if anyone is so kind as to reply to my cry of help and tell me
what exactly is involved in this newsgroup, that will be great!  Although I
understand it is not the purpose of this group to find penpals, if anyone is
interested, my mailing address is as follows:

First 'Front Line' is perhaps one of my favorite industrial acts.  I just 
recently saw them in concert.   The song you speak of is called "Mindphaser", 
off thier latest CD called _Tactical Neuro Implant_.  The video *does* use 
shots from the movie _GunHed_.

        Let's see..  it's hard to place a tag on this because I remember
showing Gundam: Char's CA once (subtitled) and everyone was saying "What the
hell is going on" but when I played the Ranma movie (unsubbed) they liked it
alot.
        My friends are WEIRD, since Hokkuto No Ken is probably their favorite
movie (no wonder why they like senseless stuff and can't sit thru a story:)
