No, its not all I want in entertainment.  But a little would have given the
film new life. :)  Besides, it was a joke in the first place.

I don't know, but maybe watching this and "The Last Boy Scout" in one sitting
made The Guyver look pale.  I don't know, but its just that the acting was 
bad, and the costumes were, well, about Disney/Six Flags grade, and it was
in the Sci-Fi section, and well, the anime was good.....but this?  Well, this
is a prime candidate for Elivira's or MST3K. :)

Not that silliness can't be entertaining.  I mean, I really like NG Knight
Lamune and 40EX.  But at least that made no pretentions of being serious
stuff.  The Guyver was packaged as serious Sci-Fi, and was made from an
anime of fairly good stock.  I was just disappointed, is all.

I said "Maybe I'm just small fry too, but I'm also original staff and I
didn't walk.  There are still original staff left.  Or are you implying
that the remaining staff are unable to put on AX'93?"

At the last meeting there were still familiar faces. *shrug*  And no, I
don't regard staff as *just* the department heads.  The people working for
said department heads last year, count as staff too.

"Quality" is a subjective term.  There are some who are big fans of GoH X,
but don't know GoH Y.  Hence GoH X has more "quality" than GoH Y.  Besides,
'twas Mr. Green who started counting guests.  I think the score was 14 to 9
or something like that.

[end digest]

A couple of points in both directions.

1) I tend to agree with Martin-san.  The relationship does kind of looks that
way.  Plus, Martin-san is providing a female perspective (I think there just
some things guys really don't know about and how women view other women is one
of them).  Also, my wife had a similar reaction when we saw "Unexpected
Situation" (James, I think this is the OAV you were thinking of).  She thought
Akane's fascination with Madoka was "unusual" and, in that OAV, it was only a
small example.  BTW, she also felt the same way with B-ko's fascination for
C-ko in Project A-ko.  A-ko's motives seemed normal but B-ko's determination
and the way she expressed it ... ?

2) However, since my wife is an anthropologist, the obvious question came up,
"Is this a Japanese thing?"  Hey, men in Europe will hug as part of normal
(and expected) greetings.  In the Middle East, it's normal for men to walk
hand in hand down the street.  But by U.S. standards, ... ?  A lot of guys
don't even like to shake hands.  Perhaps, Akane and Madoka's relationship is
the way teenage girl idol worship looks in Japan (though, probably exaggerated
as most things in entertainment media are).  Anyone with first hand experience
care to comment?  Hey, where's Maiko Covington when we need her?

I personally did not go to the Expo to meet GoHs, or buy stuff, or even
to watch anime.  I went to meet a great number of other anime fans, many
of whom I had known for years without ever seeing or even hearing them.
That's what made the convention for me, and what will determine which
convention I go to this year.

Right now, my tentative choice is AX because:
a) Nearly every anime fan I know personally in some way, whom I've asked,
is going to AX
b) AA seems to be driven more by a vendetta than by the desire to run a
good convention.

As I promised about a month ago, I have gotten some GIFs some of the
reproduction cells I mentioned in a post then. Would the admin of any of the
FTP sites that hold anime stuff who would be interested in giving space for
these please contact me.

To repeat the info I gave the last time...

First off a disclaimer: I have no financial connection with Alan Nepomuceno
or his company Cel-Out, with the exception of having been a satisfied customer
of his for several years now.

Alan Nepomuceno creates reproduction cells. Many of the cells are from sceenes
directly from anime features, many more are original creations of his. All are
hand drawn and painted.

Most of his cells run for $10 for 9" X 12" and $20 for 11" X 14". A few of the
more complicated cells run for $25 or $30. A full catalogue of his cells is
available for $1.50. A separate hentai catalogue is available for an additional
$1, but requests for this must be accompanied my a statement of age ( >= 18 )

Any orders for cells or catalogues must be made by check or money order.

Alan will also do special commision work. If you have a scene you've allways
wanted to see, whether it's actually from a anime feature or just your
imagination :-), he can probably create a cell for you.

I now have 10+ GIFs from Alan showing his cells. They will, hopefully, be
available from one of the FTP sites soon. (within 1 1/2 week, at the longest)
Many of the GIFs are greyscale, but they still serve to show the quality of
Alan's work. (If you want to see them in color, you'll have to buy the cell. :-)

Alan can be reached at:

Alan R. Nepomuceno
14010 Enchanted Knight
San Antonio, TX 78247

That's about all for now. I'll post about this again after the GIFs are up at an
FTP site.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE						January 1, 1993

		AnimEigo announces licensing of "AD POLICE Files"
			and "Ten Little Gal Force"

Tokyo, Japan

AnimEigo, the leading releaser of subtitled Japanese Animation in the United
States, today announced the licensing of the 3 "AD Police Files" Science
Fiction OVA (Original Video Animations) from Artmic and Bandai Visual, and
"Ten Little Gal Force," a "super-deformed parody," from Toho International.

"AD Police" is set in the same "future history" as AnimEigo's smash-hit
"Bubblegum Crisis" and "Bubblegum Crash" OVA series.  Taking place in the
mid-2020's, the AD Police Files chronicle 3 investigations involving rookie
AD (Advanced) Police officer Leon McNichol, as he and his comrades attempt
to cope with the criminal consequences of the Genom Corporation's artifically
intelligent androids, the "Boomers."

"The tone of AD Police is darker and more adult than Bubblegum Crisis," said
AnimEigo VP Roe Adams, "and as such, the OVAs are intended for mature
audiences.  AD Police paints a compelling picture of the dark side of a
future where technology has gone wild."

AnimEigo's other new license, "Ten Little Gal Force," is a slapstick parody
of one of Japan's hit OVA and movie series, "Gal Force."  "Ten Little Gal
Force" is a "super-deformed" parody; a category unique to Japan, where the
creators of the original series get together and parody their own creation,
using an exaggerated, cartoony style of drawing the characters.

"Ten Little Gal Force" will be packaged together with another "super-deformed"
parody, the previously announced "Scramble Wars," thus providing a double-
dose of deformed dementia.

Release dates and pricing will be announced in the near future.

Wait... Let me get this straight... you are selling 8 pages of manga
translated by (I am assuming) yourself for a dollar?  Is that legal?
(Its not so much the manga content I am concerned about but rather the
(assumed) fact that you are going to sell xerox copies of manga for
profit).  Selling the original stuff is ok. getting reimbursed for the
xeroxing is ok too. (But I think 12.5 cents a page is a bit high for
photocopies)  Its nice of you to share but trying to make a profit in this
way seems a bit sad..  Well good luck..

From what I know, George Greene works the AnimEgo tables, such as the one

Not trying to start some war or be the cause of it, but every time I see 
him, he's either AT the AnimEgo booth or wearing a AnimEgo T-shirt.

My only personal quirk about him is the first day of AnimeCon '91 he went

Lion Inn is 3,500...
