    Ok, I'm going back to September of 91 on this one.  But I recall a post t
that basically said that Ben Dunn of the famous Ninja High School comics
had signed a contract with a Japanese animation studio to do NHS in Japan
and be made so it could easily be brought over here to the states.

ANIME FEST '93

After a short Meeting with Senior Staff of Anime Expo '92.
Mr.David Medinnus, and Mr Mike Tatsugawa, have agreed to get
together within the next three weeks to discuss the
possibilities,and opportunities of a cooperative effort to bring
an Anime Convention to the Bay area next year.

Mr. Tatsugawa, and Mr. Medinnus have agreed to the name Anime
Fest for their joint effort convention.
The name change comes at the request of Senior Staff.
The Con. will be sponsored by a not for profit corporation.

Mr. Medinnus, and Mr. Tatsugawa have requested that I be the only
information contact re: Anime Fest.
Please address all public, and private requests, or comments to
me. I will be reporting via R.A.A. the results of the upcoming
meeting as soon as they are available.

All of the Staff of both Anime Con., and Anime Expo started as
Fans. When not on duty we all attend functions at the Con. The
better the Convention is for Fandom (read YOU) the better for
Staff. We want to have the absolute best Convention that we can
for Fandom.

        Mr. Tatsugawa,and Mr. Medinnus, are very aware that the most
important voice in Anime is that of the Fans,and they are
listening. 

          ........Thank you for your attention, and interest.

          ........Greg........

A lot of searching.... I THINK I got mine from Comic Relief in Cal, I know I
got some there, some local, some at Arisia (eastern con), etc.....

BTW, my #3 and #6 were BORROWED and NEVER returned... So if you know Ned
Ames, feel free to kill him... He'd better be back at WPI WITH those issues
this year...

So I figure what better place to pick up Animag back issues than the
Animag booth at the Expo.

Wrong!

So, anyone know where to get Animag issues before #6?  I was able to
pick up Animag 4 when Pacific Rim had a table at ORC CON (VI?) two
years ago, but with Animag Volume 2 out, who are we supposed to turn
to for back issues?

Zoner, how did you manage to find Animag 3?

Submitted for your approval (email any suggestions/changes, etc), the
new FAQ entry for BGC regarding Boomers:



o What does the term "Boomer/BUMA" from Bubblegum Crisis/Crash! stand for?
	This is a question that has plagued anime fandom for some
	time.  Some people have speculated that it could be a phonetic reading
	of an acronym (Much the way Mospeada actually stands for Military 
	Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation)
	like Boomer = 	B_io-            or BUMA =Big
			M_echanical		  Ugly
			R_eplicant		  Metal 
						  Android

	But as always, Robert Woodhead has the definitive answer:
	"It does not stand for anything.  The creators liked the feel of the
	English word (ie: one who makes a lot of noise, a lot of fuss) and
	one thing lead to another..."

Nice idea, guys, but there is at least one slight problem with it: if
I remember properly, Mike Tatsugawa said that hotels usually charge a
lot more for conventions held in winter - something like up to 3 times
as much?  If this is so, then which convention gets consigned to this
expensive time of year?  If this guys can't put aside their differences
in order to hold One True Con, what makes you think they'll be able to
agree on which of them gets the short end of the stick?

You might say, "Well, have one in the spring and one in the fall:
that's still six months apart and (hopefully) about the same expense."
Even assuming the prices for running a con then are comparable, can
you think of two holidays - one spring, one fall - that most colleges
have?  After all, I'm reasonably sure the majority of con attendees
are college students - or at least a fairly sizable fraction thereof.
There is no universal Spring Break we can use (although perhaps
Memorial Day is good enough), and the only major holiday I can think
of in the fall is Thanksgiving, which doesn't even apply to people
from out of the USA.  This may work better than a summer-winter format,
but it's still a little iffy.  And, of course, there's still the problem
of who gets when.

Also, you're assuming there are enough fans out there that could make
it to two anime cons a year on the West Coast - or ones who would only
go to one and randomly distribute themselves between the two - so that
both cons would be reasonably successful (this is assuming that both
cons try to be as large as they have in the past - if they aim to be
something smaller then it wouldn't be so bad).  Personally, as much as
I like anime and as devoted as its following is, I find it hard to
believe there are enough of us who can make two anime cons in
California successful.  Now, if we could convince one of these guys to
come East of the Mississippi...

Not to mention, it seems likely to me that Mike and Dave will be recruiting
from the same pool of volunteers, which doesn't sound like it's grown
any, which will either meant understaffed conventions or some seriously
tired anime fans...

IMHO, of course, I think that anime fandom is just not large enough to
support two major cons a year, especially in the same city.  Maybe a
few small ones, but I think Mike and Dave will be setting themselves
up for disaster if they run opposite each other.

Of course, someone'll probably turn around and prove me wrong.  It doesn't
matter to me too much, since I WON'T BE ABLE TO GO ANYWAYS!!  8-P on all
of you!

Well, "Star Trek" is pretty much accepted by the mainstream.  No geekyness
is attributed to the show itself, at least not by most people.

However, "Trekkies" are still thought of as geeky, kooky nerds.  Witness
the SNL William Shatner "Get a Life" sketch of just a few years ago.

Now that you've mentioned it, I do recall that Mechwarrior's plot also
involves a grail, and a final battle with four BattleMasters on Ander's
moon.  But the graphics I saw on Login were significantly different,
different enough to make me think of it as a completely different game.
But then again, perhaps the graphics were redone for the Japanese MS-DOS
graphics standard (which I know little off... maybe it's just the same
as VGA?)

Again, it seems that you don't really know what you're talking about.
It's becuase 40% of printed matters in Japan is manga.  Manga in Japan
is considered a new form of book more or less...nothing like in the
US.  Everyone reads manga in Japan, you know (well, maybe not all, but
most of them) whereas, in the case of Anime, not everyone watches it
in Japan.  

Now, you might want to ask "So Japanese considers it bad when it's
unique??"  Yes, more or less.  ^_^  We're really prejudiced in those
stuff.  It's kinda funny, makes me laugh.  Really.

Why schedule the two within one month of each other so that fans

Why not schedule them 6 months apart so that anime companies have time to

This would benefit both anime fans and companies greatly.

For people in the news group who were upset about name changes of the Anime 
Convention in the SF Bay Area and Greg's discussions of the current talks
about the recombination of the two convention there is one complaint that I
do not understand why it even popped up. Making a new convention with a new
name in most methods of negotiations is the first step in making people sit
down and talk. With the NEW CONVENTION both sides come to the table as
partners since no one is asking the other to step down. 

Also this is a big request to the net. I am asking as a favor to try and
calm things down to allow the talks between conventions to take place. That
all parties on the net please refrain from jumping on all posts to the net
about who is right and who is wrong and wait for the THREE WEEKS to go by
and allow the TWO PARTIES involve in this meeting to finish their business
and when Greg posts the results we can then resume our constructive advice
for ideas for next years convention. So until then sayonara.

Just thought I'd mention that I received my Vampire Princess Miyu LD
from AnimEigo Monday morning!  I remember thinking that was pretty
fast, considering.
 
A few comments...loved the story, art, and music.   Some of the sound
effects weren't to my liking, but that's not a big issue.  I had a few
picture problems, but I'll blame them on my disc player, an LD-1100
relic.  Anyway, it's nice to see an animated horror story which
doesn't resort to cheap violence to get thrills.  The artwork is
suitably eerie.  Question:  What the manga done by the character
designer of the OAVs?
