Little? Aikawa Shou (Screenplay writer of Miyu) is a major
occult/myth otaku! :) That's very obvious from the animes he has 
worked on.

Here are some of the stuff he has worked on:

Steel Demon
Wandering Kid
Kujaku-Oh
Hakkenden
Vampire Princess Miyu

I'm sure this doesn't belong here, but I don't have access to
rec.arts.manga.  I'll make it very brief:
 
VIZ looks better in Black & White!!  
 
Seriously.  I opened the first B&W issue of Silent Mobius and was
greatly impressed by the B&W artwork.  The zipatone work is fabulous.
Ack!  Now It becomes very obvious just how bad the coloring was in the
other books. 
 
Ranma 1/2 also looked better in its original format, but I don't feel
the coloring ruined that as much as it did SM.
 
The comic shop I got those at also got in Animag 2.2 ($5.95, and
outdated info too!) and Caravan Kidd #2.  They still haven't received
KOR #2 from AnimEigo.  Maybe I should have subscribed?  :|

Clavell's "Shogun" is an excellent story, but I lot of things were altered
from the historical context to make it an excellent story for WESTERN
audiences. I'm not sure how the Japanese (and thus perhaps Miyazaki and other animators) view Clavell's work....

They'd probably more likely do the fictionalization of Musashi's life
(Musashi (can't remember his full name), famous ronin (leaderless samurai)
around early 17th century (early Tokugawa Shogunate i.e. "Shogun"'s time frame))
Problem with that is it's already been done live action (in Japan). Anyway, someone translated the whole series into english a few years ago, but I can't remember the translator's name, or the name of the author of the work.
Anyone want to help me out?? (and correct me if I've got my facts wrong??? :) )

What I'd really, really like to see is David Brin's "Startide Rising"
in anime.

I also want to see a couple dozen more Riding Bean and Vampire Princess Miyu
OVAs. (along with just about every other anime addict (TM Doug Jacobs)

horrendous.  THere is no way I can possibly recommend it to anyone without

Last time: Akira was not dubbed by Streamline.  Laputa was not dubbed by

Streamline (if, that is, the titles on the disc are the same as on the

The exhibit at the Comic Art Museum has been running for several
months.  During Anime Expo, the bay area was billed in press releases
as THE place for fans of either medium to attend.  Anime Expo was
fortunate enough to have Keiji Nakazawa attend Expo during his trip to
the museum and I think we ran an ad for them in our Program Book.
This is definitely a top notch job and I definitely recomment the
exhibit to all fans who can make it.

Hi Stealth Dave,

  The Robotech Models were made by the company Revell.  But they are no longer
in production.  Actually they were cut a long time ago!  Most of the models had
nothing to do with the Mecha you saw in Macross.  Harmony Gold somehow licensed
the name "Robotech" from the company.

  If you're interested in building Macross models, try a hobby shop that
really carries the ones from Japan!  Companies like Bandai, Arii and a few
others make slews of Anime-related mecha models!

  Hope that is of help!

How's this:
- A sequel to FUTURE BOY CONAN, again as a TV series in NHK, produced
  by Studio Ghibli.  Conan, Lana, and the other principals are a few
  years older, and have to deal with the people who fought against
  Industria in the war.  Who are, of course, much nastier than the
  Industrians ever were.

- The Mad House people on NEUROMANCER.

- An anime version of RENDEZVOUZ WITH RAMA.

- James Cameron or Ridley Scott directing some anime.

- Yoshitaka Amano illustrating a SANDMAN story (I know it's not anime,
  but hey).

- And the number one thing I'd love to see in anime:

        A 48-episode TV series, directed by Miyazaki, chronicling the
        rest of Kiki's year in Korico.

The UFO series came out as 2 boxed LD sets recently in Japan.
Each set costs about 40,000 yen.  (I don't know how many LD's are
in each set.)  The first set is impossible to get anywhere now.
The second set came out in June or July and can be found in some
stores (at least a couple weeks ago).

	That's what I've been saying!!!  What many people in r.a.anime
consider "sloppy titling" is in fact what the majority of subtitled flicks in
any genre are like.  I really think this is part of the inherent problems with
subtitles.
	I've started getting my friend into anime and the first comment he
made about the subtitles is that they are "distracting".  He wants to look at
the picture (hey, it's what animation is really about) and thinks he spends
too much time looking at the bottom of the screen, reading titles.  This is
why I feel the move to dubs is inevitable.  As the anime audience grows, I
think many more of the new fans will prefer dubs (even mediocre ones ) to subs
because of the above subbing problems and they'll not likely know the original
version for comparison against the dub.
	Don't get me wrong.  I think there are some things that should be
subtitled, particularly stuff that isn't dialogue intensive and dubbing
wouldn't be a big plus.  For example, Robot Carnival was better off subtitled
instead of dubbed.  But a lot of stuff has rapid fire dialogue that if you
subtitle you end up either having

- long titles and the viewer spends a lot of time reading, missing what's
going on in the picture.

- terse titles that sacrifice nuances or even portions of dialogue for the
sake of brevity.  (This is what most non-anime subs suffer from.)

(or only) subtitlers for anime in the future.
