The last letter was upside down in Japanese, since according to "Gunbuster",
Japanese was a dead language when the two girls came back.  The people
who created the sign didn't know any better, and they got it wrong.

US Renditions reflected that by making the "E" in "Welcome Home" upside
down (and by implication, also making English a dead language :-)).

It's not likely to be a typo on US Renditions' part (unless they're
using Spanish fonts... :-)).

FEMC and WhiteNorth are not related, although both were in Ontario.
To my knowledge, all FEMC subtitled was Lodoss vol 1-4, but they were
the first to get that far.  They then made the scripts available in
the computer world.  WhiteNorth, on the other hand, did Nausicaa, 
Cagliorosto, and I think the earlier version of Project Eden, plus 
some other stuff.

It seems that a lot of these subtitling groups do one or a few titles,
then disappear into nowhere.

Anyone know what group did the _first_ fan-subtitling?  WhiteNorth and
Group Santa Cruz seemed to be pretty early.

The title of the song is "Sailing" and it's sung by Tokyo Shonen.
Stay tuned for the showing of Silent Mobius (subbed) at Cal-A Beta
next Tuesday. We translated and subbed the song as well. (^_^)

Sailing is included in Silent Mobius The Motion Picture Soundtrack.

So, I was wondering if anyone wanted to get rid of theirs so I

So are the soldiers from a lot of contries.  That doesn't mean that
they're put to good use.  Look at Vietnam.  A lot of bad things happened
over there, but most of the soldiers didn't start out as bad people, or
even ended up that way.

Kou needed to grow up.  He took the whole insident as a personal insult
from the begining.

But remember how much damage a colony causes.  The entire planet feels
the effects of the impact.  Even if it hits in the middle of a continent
everybody feels it.  And the British Operation hit the Austrailian
coast.  Think of the tsunamis it must have caused.

        Non-condradictory anime? That's an oxymoron... :)
Well, actually, Akira (once you accepted the basic premise of psychics) 
made sense (sorta. The manga made much better sense). The Legend of 
Mother Sarah (Otomo's current work) makes a LOTTA sense. 
        We can rule out anything by Takahashi... Lessee.... 
        Appleseed, in its gritty, cyberpunk world makes sense. 
        Silent Mobius, once you accept the premise of magic, makes sense.
        Megazone 23 (again, you have to accept the beginning premise) 
seems to make sense.
        except for maybe those octopus thingies
        Finally, Gundam 0080: War In the Pocket (I think the most 
realistic of the Gundams) seems to have logic throughout. Except for that 
the idea of giant robots may seem riculous. BUT, there's an explanation,

Last night NHK had a four sentence story claiming some Japanese ministry had
conducted a survey on the Japanese language.  75% of respondents felt the
language was "deteriorating" (i think that's the word the reader used).

I had always thought that the Japanese were pretty proud of their language.
Is this a French-like backlash against too many borrowed words?  A worry
that there is too much slang in use?  A complaint from Japanese folk that
their language is too complex?  Anyone know anything about this?

Yup, I know of the music video you are talking about.  I seen it twice.  The
music video is using footage from a live action movie called 'Gunhed'.  The
movie was to be supposed be released last year, however, I don't think it

What you said.  By human standards, Miyu is completely amoral.  Which
is why we have the character of Himiko to balance things out.

When watching VPM, I end up empathizing more with Himiko than with Miyu.
Even when we learn that Miyu was made a monster out of circumstance,
rather than by choice (she didn't ask to become a Guardian/Observer).

Of course, Miyu doesn't see herself as evil (only an insane person would
view his/herself as "evil").  Himiko is quick to write Miyu off as a
monster, maybe too quick.  I find it interesting the way Himiko (and by
extension, the viewer) gradually learn what made Miyu what she is, and
that there is no such thing as absolute good an evil (even the shinma
in OVAs 2-4 had understandable motives.
