I skipped episodes 131 and 132.
I will do 131 sometime this week.  (hopefully)
I missed episode 132 because of a VCR screw-up.

     The re-edit of Battle of the Planets is called "G-Force".... it's 
horrible from what I understand.  They did 85 out of the 105 Gatchaman 
(the original series) episodes, and renamed the characters yet again.
Here's some of the names:
     Ace Goodheart - Mark/Ken
     Hootie - Tiny/Ryu
     Aggie - Princess/Jun
     Dr. Brighthear - Chief Anderson/Dr. Nambu

     This is also the version that will be on Ted Turner's animation
network.

1-Rover-1.  In the real version "Anderson" was Dr. Nambu, the mentor

I would like nothing better than to see anime go over big in North America.
However, when watching anime in my room here in Rez, I get a lot of people
dropping by, attracted by sounds of multiple explosions no doubt, and
watching.  However, more often than not, they seem to bypass the high
quality animation and in depth storylines, to offer such dazzling criticisms
as, 'If the stuff is japanese, how come none of the characters _look_
japanese?' and 'Don't they know there isn't any sound in space?' 

The kicker is that these comments come from people who memorize ST:TNG 
episodes.....

So, my point is, I think that a lot of anime is easily accessible to  the
mainstream, even including cultural references.  Unfortunately, preconceptions
play a large role in determining whether it goes over well or not. Many
people willing to 'suspend disbelief' for the most pathetic of domestic movies
can't seem to clear this hurdle of watching something from Japan with the
same eyes. I used to think that just by being exposed to anime, people would
see for themselves what they have been missing. Recently however, I find that
this is not necessarily the case.

Well, I don't know anything about most of those, but I have a friend who

to color-ize the whole book.

I saw a promo thing from dark horse for Orion, so I'm guessing that at least
the first (of six episodes) is ready to roll...maybe.  ;)

You don't have to go THAT extreme. Just put 5000% tax on all otaku
related goods and that'll decrease the otaku populace to the level
where they're barely noticeable. :-) When they can hardly find any
otakus around them, people lose interest in using the word "otaku".

Well I was thinking about this closed caption idea too, it does
seem to solve the sub/dub delema (dub on standard audio, original
Japanese on HiFi tracks and CC in english... Hey I'd buy it.)
Actually The idea really hit me a few months ago when I stepped into
a high class electronics store and they were playing THE LITTLE
MERMAID on ALL of the TVs, I noticed one of the sets had titles, took
a closer look and noticed the sign that said the set had builtin CC
decoder. The titles were white with a black border box arround them
and they looked MUCH better than I remember original CC titles looking
(is the title appearance contolled by the CC decoder? If so
in theory you could have some VERY nice cc titles w/o the black box
(which was only mildly bothersome, and which did not obscure very
much of the screen) )
if someone were to come out with a special FROIENG FILM cc decoder.)

The titles flash up and away just like normal titles. I think everyone
should take a look at this technology and then get behind getting the
Mackes (sp) of this world to see that they could double your audence
by doing this. And no, I don't think they would have to pay for two editions,
CC is done as a service for the hearing impaired, the question is could
they get it done with a more acurate translation that the lip synced
dubbed "translation" or will they only CC according tpo the vocals on the
tape?


Food for thought.... Get on it people!
