Well, after buying import LDs from the usual bunch of mail order shops...
anything put out by the US companies are cheap. ^_^  heck, anything under

I disagree on that.  My animation instructor once told us, "You don't have
to draw to animate."  And he was quite right.  Artwork is secondary to the
actual animation, and in some cases may be *harder* because the artwork isn't
as polished.  Try, for instance, to give a stick figure a believable body
language (the "Stick Figure Theater" series in LIQUID TELEVISION did pretty
well).

The extra details on the object in motion are just gravy.

Newsgroups: rec.arts.anime
Subject: Several questions...
Date: 2 Sep 92 15:35:12 GMT
Organization: Purdue University


For the masses, a few questions, just in case somebody might know:

(1) Has anybody bought the Rhea Gall Force: Exodus soundtrack from Nikaku or
    elswhere? In Nikaku's catalogue, t says "4 songs," is that 4 vocals,
    or 4 tracks? Most importantly, does it have the instrumental played near
    the end when Sandy comes to the aid of the 8th troop to protect the last
    group of civilians?

    Okay, so that was more than one question...  :)

(2) Does ANYBODY know where I can get my hands on a Dirty Pair: Project E.D.E.N.
    CD soundtrack?? They're rarer in the U.S. than wooly mammoths...

    Bret Halford, can you get one for me in Japan?

(3) For those who went to AnimeExpo '92 or who make Anime Music Videos:
 
    There was a fan video of the climax battle of Macross the movie done to 
    a Japanese song in which the only English words were in chorus, "Break down
    the Walls.."
   
    - Who sings this song?
    - What anime is it from, if any? (or is it just regular pop?)
    - Would the person(s) who made the video tell me where they got that
      song, so I can get it too?

    There was another fan AMV aired that I call the 'Crying Video,' because
    everyone's crying. It's in Japanese, and I didn't catch any English lyrics.
    The first few clips are from Bubblegum Crisis, Gunbuster, and KOR the movie,
    and it ends with some girl shooting her boyfriend in the stomach, then
    herself in the head... (nice.. :) ) The singer SOUNDS like someone who
    sang on a City Hunter soundtrack that a friend of mine has (I dunno, the
    Dramatic Master?? maybe..)
   
    - Who sings this song?
    - What anime is it from, if any?
    - Would the makers of this video please tell me where they got that song
      from, so I can get it too?

As you can see, I spend more money on Anime BGMs and Japanese Pop than on 
anime itself....

Thanks in advance for your knowledge and patience.

Hmm, good point.  I hadn't thought of that.  Come to think about it,
food options around the Oakland Conv. Center are remarkably sparse,
but then I guess that's what BART is for.  And having never been to
the Santa Clara CC, I could not suggest that.  However, I still stand
by my point that compared to the Red Lion, the *internal* facilities
are much better.  Larger possibilities for the Dealers' area plus the
option of both Conv. Center facilities and hotel facilities.

Ah, yes, but the Oakland Convention Center has the Pacific Coast

as having the finest ales and beer in the Bay.  It's only across the

Subject: replacement for `Ranma 1/2 Netto^hen' on Fuji TV
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
To: Urusei-Yatsura@Panda.COM
Organization: University of Washington
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1992 23:57:07 GMT

The slot on Fuji TV previously occupied by Ranma will be filled by
`Super Zugan' (SU-PA-TZUGAN) by Katayama Masayuki.  Takahashi Rumiko
fans will once again be without a TV series.  Unlike the previous
hiatus (when `F' replaced Mezon Ikkoku), there is no new Takahashi
Rumiko story waiting in the wings, so it may be some time before
Takahashi fans will again have a TV series to call their own.

Fuji TV is notoriously ratings-sensitive, and I think they were very
disappointed by the poor ratings Ranma got.  Here's my post-mortem
analysis of what went wrong:

1) The first series started too early, before there was much manga
material to draw on.  It also ran through the manga episodes too
quickly.  The result was that the TV series quickly ran out of
available original author material, something that badly hurt the
second series.

2) Some of the casting in the first series was terrible.  The
katakana-Chinese spoken by Shampoo was particularly egregious.  This
was fixed in the second series, creating some gaping inconsistancies.

3) The first series spent a lot of time and effort on character
development and in artistry, and forgot the action, belly-laughs, and
slapstick that was expected as well.  The second series
over-compensated and targeted at a much younger market.  Sometimes, it
all came together; episode 31 (the one where Ranma got bopped on the
head and acquired a girl's personality) was great!  But for each one
of these there were a number of truly stupid episodes.  Again, the
lack of sufficient material from the manga hurt badly.  Urusei Yatsura
and Mezon Ikkoku both had TV episodes that were not in the manga, but
this was a spice to the overall series; neither had the great
dependency on stories by other authors that Ranma had.

4) There was a lack of continuity and downright wierdness that hurt
the series.  One had to wonder if they weren't grasping at straws to
find some forumla that would work.  This also afflicted Urusei Yatsura
in its later episodes; there were some truly great episodes (notably
the wonderful #180) but a lot of junk too.

Still, I'll be sorry to see it go.  There are some hints in `Movement!'
magazine about the final episodes, but I'll leave it as a surprise.

A few days after Expo, I had asked Robert Napton about what would and did 
happen to the limited editions that weren't sold and he did say that some
stores had bought some to sell as "collectors issues" at of course 
inflated prices.
 besides USR isn't exactly the company we expect things out

Heck, even though there is pretty much only one or two small places in this

Sure!  You find a Dirty Pair fan who owns one, shoot him or her in the

	I think you missed my point.  You're confusing dubs and material that
was in English in the first place.  The former is usually lackluster, at
best, but the latter is almost always good (with the exception of a great
deal of recent Saturday morning material).  
	I have no complaints whatsoever with Disney films.  Heck, I even
have a commercial copy of "Starchaser:  the Legend of Odin" (anybody remember
this one? :-) and even the Transformers movie.  The acting in these was good
because the companies actually went to some effort to find actors whose voices
fit the roles.  I'm not saying that the _plots_ were anything to write home
about, but the actors could usually make it interesting, problems
notwithstanding.  This is my gripe with Streamline -- it's always the same
cast ("mis-cast," one could say :-) over and over again.  Once they widen
their talent pool, things should improve because there's a better chance of
finding someone who sounds more like a given character.
	Put simply (sarcasm here :-)

	Good in English:			Bad in English:
	The Rescuers Down Under			Akira
	The Little Mermaid			Vampire Hunter D
	Fish Police				Nadia
	Sherlock Hound 				Macross II
	any Warner Bros. stuff			Dominion

	Hope this clears things up.

Were that it were true. Lexical analysis of the original post reveals only a
