Richard Butler mentions extending the voting time on the straw poll -
 
The first call for votes was sent out midday Saturday the 4th - and was
 sent to alt.manga, rec.arts.anime, and news.groups.  I have reason to
 believe it only made it to r.a.anime.  I resent that message on Tuesday
 the 7th, to alt.manga, r.a.anime, news.groups, and r.a.comics.  I know
 for certain that it made it to the first three, but haven't checked
 r.a.comics.  A third and final call for votes was sent out on the 9th,
 to the four aforementioned groups.  This call for votes made it to all
 four groups successfully.
 
If straw poll CFV #1 had been successful, I would have said that there
 was indeed enough time to respond.  But that wasn't the case.
 
Therefore, voting time has been extended to 12 noon CDT, April 15th.
 
Individual acks have been sent out to all respondents so far (122 in all).
A mass ack will appear tomorrow.

As long as it's for your own use, i.e., you're not going to sell them
commercially, you can tell the Customs people "nothing to declare" if all
you're bringing in is print and video media, and go on through.

You have to take the whole name: Ataru Moroboshi. It's a) his name, and
b) a pun, which means "to get hit by many little stars" (in Ataru's
case not a case of "star-struck lover" but "star-struck idiot".. :-)

Sheesh, there appear to be a whole lot of clost-UY fans, why isn't
anybody posting in the UY mailing list (I would, but I only just

others).

Not quite, most of North and South america use NTSC format, as does japan. A
great deal of Europe uses PAL, as does austrailia. Former USSR countries and
France use SECAM. Japanese LAser discs and videos are compatible with US
standards.

>   If you buy him a vcr, it won't recieve properly in Japan...

This is true. ALthough the format is the same, the US and Japan broadcast on 
slightly different frequencies so that receivers from one country can't pick
up all of the channels in the other.

Austrailia and Japan do not use the same system, Japan is NTSC and Austrailia
is PAL. There are places which will transfer NTSC to PAL and vice versa, one
in Boston will do it for $67 per hour of video. You have to digitize the signal
from one, transfer the digital signal to the other format, then rerecord it.

Actually _Dangaioh_ is part of a series.  There 3 out although only part I
has been subbed by USR.  It doesn't look hopeful that they will sub the
other two parts anytime soon (IMHO). :(

I agree with your impression though.  As a stand alone, this one bit but in
the context of a part I of a series, it was pretty good.  It does suffer
from the robot-controlled-by-humanoid-pilots cliches but on the whole it
was alright.  Part II and III have the character development you want 
(Disclaimer: it's been a while since I've seen these two parts and when I
saw them, I didn't know jack about the Japanese language.  Even now, I only
know/understand a little of what's going on in the anime I watch.)

Hope I helped a little.

I see you all talking about these killer anime stores in
Japan! Well I have a few questions:

1. Can you bring stuff back to America from there? What are
   the "import" rules?

2. Can I order things from these stores by mail?

3. Are there any such anime stores in the USA?


Good lord, I'd be like a kid in a toy store! What'd customs
charge for about $1000.00 worth of anime? :)
