Subject: Subtitled 'A-KO' on LD at Critics' Choice
Date: 4 Jan 93 16:17:03 GMT
To: "anime/animation list" <anime-l@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU>

To whom it may interest:

Critics' Choice Video, a big video mail-order house (that used to be
the video side of Publishers' Central Bureau mail-order), lists
'Project A-Ko' on laser disk (CLV format, CX Noise Reduction,
Digital (whatever that would signify on LDs)) with subtitles.
The price is $39.95, plus $5.50 S&H (per order). 'A-Ko' is old stuff
to most of us, but a lot of us enjoy it, and this seems a chance to get
the LD and avoid the small speciality companies whose level of service
has drawn so many complaints on this list.  This is the largest mail
order house I've heard of with any anime; unfortunately, 'A-Ko' is
the only entry I've found in the catalog.

Ordering information: Order toll-free at 1-800-367-7765 (credit
cards only).  The item number is CVLAS008583.
To order by mail, the address is Critics' Choice Video, PO Box 749,
Itasca, IL 60143-0749.  They ship by UPS; faster shipping by FEDEX
is available for more $ S&H.
Their FAX number is 1-708-437-7298; Their TDD number is
1-800-272-2900.  ?Se hable Espanol?  Para ordenar 1-800-367-7765,
y para mayor informacion 1-800-5440-9852.  This catalog says
nothing about overseas orders.

In addition, they offer a 'Video Search Line' at 1-900-370-6500
for $1.95 the first minute, and $.95 each additional minute, from
9:00AM to 5:00PM, Central Time, Monday through Friday.  I quote:
'There are more than 42,000 titles available on videocassette!
We can't fit them all in this catalog, but we can find almost any
title, in any format you want, if it's out on video.  You can
request specific titles, individual stars, or subject matter.'

In other words, phone sex for video maniacs.
If anyone on the list tries the Search Line, please let this list
know how it works out.  I personally will avoid this possible
plague on my budget.

CAV freeze frame look better than CLV freeze frames (on most of the

Hello all anime folk!

I wonder where I can get Orange Road TV series on LD from episode 1 - 48 with
the cheapest price. Anyone knows how to get them? How much are they?
Would it be better to ask someone who is in Japan to buy them in Japan and
ship them to me here U.S.? 


Your kind reply is greatly appreciative.

	But what I don't understand is why the Feds didn't come in to help
deflect Axcis before it was too late.  Maybe my Gundam knowledge is really
off..  I thought that the Feds had their HQ on Earth (it was destroyed in
the initial attack, but I thought that the Feds would have wanted the
Earth spared at *any* cost.)
	
	I have to admire a man who is willing to bear the

	Char in many of his ideals.  "The people of Earth only
	think of themselves"  Compare this to the people in politics.
	The Feds are the government, and the Neo-Jions are the people.

	The politicians are as corrupt as the Feds, and maybe they
	need a nice chunk of Axcis dropped on their precious capitol
	in order to see this!

Maybe it's just me, but I still think Char is not a villian..  he's
just misunderstood (joke..;)

That may be a bit extreme, but keep tapes away from speakers, and don't put
them on top of your TV or monitor. Keep them away from fans, too, or any

What it is is that Madoka is Kyosuke's superior.  Therefore, he uses a more 
formal form of address.  For him to use ayukawa-kun would be very rude.  Like
calling your mom by her first name.

   As far as I know, Macek didn't produce any new animation for

   Let's put it this way:  if AnimEigo can do over 200 episodes of
Urusei Yatsura, then 48 KOR episodes shouldn't be too much to handle!
I'd buy the Japanese box set now, except for the laser rot problems!
   And the KOR TV series *does* crush the OAVs.
   The only problem I forsee is that since AnimEigo has already
released the movie, a lot of people will know how the show ends before
even seeing the first TV episode!
   I wonder also how Urusei Yatsura has been selling.  I'm inclined to
think not very well.  While it may be one of the most popular comedy
series in Japan, this isn't Japan, and   remember how Viz's Lum
series did?

[Regarding Akira's price.]
 
   Prices on Criterion discs are always high.  They claim to give you
"much more than just the movie", and you do pay for that.  If their
Akira CAV set is a collector's item, I've never seen or heard
mentioned anything about a lower-cost CLV edition.  No cels in the box
--- the bonus material you get is an extensive supplemental section on
side 5, including the entire first issue of the Marvel comic on disc.
   Other features of the supplement:  Japanese and English theatrical
trailers (nearly identical, except that there's no dialogue in the
English version); extensive storyboards, including sketches for an
opening scene that never made the final cut; character model sheets;
layouts and backgrounds; pencil tests, and a few other "making of..."
type short documentaries.

No, the pirates are targeting a different audience.  Namely, the
financially strapped student otaku.  One guy there was selling REALLY
crappy copies (talking at LEAST fifth generation off tape!) for ten
bucks a pop.  Another guy was selling first generation copies off
LD for anywhere from $20 to $30 a shot.

Now, the poor student otaku who feels that $35 is already too much to
spend on an OAV will definetly feel that $10 is a good deal.  Maybe
even $20 is a good deal.  Hell, the blank tape costs $5, plus add
rental fees if he were to do it himself, etc. etc., and he calculates
he's spending $5 extra by buying the bootlegged copy as opposed to doing
it himself, if he even has the means at all.  It's the poor man's way
of building up a cheap anime library.

It's a catch-22 situation.  People would buy legit tapes more readily if
prices were lower.  Prices won't come down unless more people buy legit
tapes.  But people won't buy because the tapes are high-priced...etc.
In the meantime, pirate-baka forks out for the tape, dubs it, and sells it
for that $5 profit.  Otaku saves at least $15...everyone's happy, right?
WRONG!  *sigh*

Um.... Sometimes I call my mom Marilyn, and my father Richard.... Especially
when I worked at their company, working in an office and say 'dad' and 'mom'
seems unprofessional... It is also a good way to get their attention in a
crowd...

Of course, as always, I'm odd...
