Or on the disk. Liner notes on the disk would be quite a nifty thing...
Should be enough space left with each OAV being 25 minutes (leaving
about 5 minutes a side)...

nope.  The tv episodes have never been released on tape or LD.  Maybe KAC
will release a boxed set eventually.  However, KAC has chosen to release 
YAWARA! as a series of 10 LD boxed sets.  YAWARA and Ranma are approximately
the same length (in number of episodes) so it's possible that if Ranma is
ever released by KAC, it might be released in a similar fashion.  Even 
though YAWARA had always received better ratings than Ranma, I find it odd
that they would release Yawara instead of Ranma on LD.  Yawara is being 
broadcast in reruns and Ranma isn't...
As for the "APRIL" cover date on Protoculture Addicts, maybe that has 
something to do with the article.

Presenting: the 1992 REC.ARTS.ANIME FAVORITES POLL!  It's my hope that
this poll will become an annual event.  It's a chance to see where a
sizable section of anime fandom stands, opinion-wise.  I'm also hoping
that this poll doesn't get buried in the large number of other polls
I saw when I was catching up on 1000+ articles.  You're reading this,
so there's hope.

There are 16 categories, which is a lot, but don't worry, you don't
have to vote in all of them.  At the end of the poll, I should know
which categories are more interesting and perhaps I can delete some
of the duller ones.

Due to the nature of English-speaking anime fandom, all anime is
eligible.  Otherwise, I'd have to decide on when an anime becomes
eligible: when its released in Japan?  Makes it to the US?  Australia?
UK?  I'd rather just leave it open and count on the fans' fickleness to
restrict the voting to recent works.  :-) :-)

To those people who misinterpreted my earlier post and already sent in
votes: I'd appreciate it if you resent.  After you read this, you'll
probably want to anyway.

The deadline will be Valentine's Day, so you have plenty of time to
think it over.  Once January rolls around, I'll be posting reminders
once a week.

********** 1992 REC.ARTS.ANIME FAVORITES POLL **********

DEADLINE : Whenever I log on, Valentine's Day, February 14, 1993

Please vote for up to 2 (two) items in any category.  This is to help
prevent ties, so I don't have to deal with fractions.  You do NOT have
to vote all categories.

Here are the categories:

Favorite Movie
Favorite TV Series
Favorite Single OAV
Favorite OAV Series
Favorite Male Character
Favorite Female Character
Favorite Character Designer
Favorite Mecha Designer
Favorite Writer
Favorite Director
Favorite Studio
Favorite BGM Song or Track
Favorite Subtitled Production
Favorite Dubbed Production
Favorite Translating Organization (anime only, please, not manga)
Favorite English-language Magazine

Looking forward to seeing your votes!

     Anime America is proud to announce the confirmation of Monkey Punch,
creator of Lupin the 3rd and Character Designer for ACC Productions, as a Guest
of Honor for Anime America. Monkey Punch has given us a detailed biography,
which we will pass along as soon as the rest of the FACE Directors return from
Japan next week.

     Accompanying Monkey Punch will be Mr. Sugaya, President of ACC
Productions. Mr. Sugaya will bring with him three new animated shorts, all of
which were produced in 3-D. The 3-D process uses 35 mm film to record two
frames, polarized for viewing through polarized glasses. The glasses ensure
that the correct eye sees the correct frame. This is a technique similar to the
one used in live action films seen at Disney's Epcot Center and other high-tech
presentations. The difference is that these short films are animated, the first
to use this technology. Anime America will be the first U.S. showing of these
films!

Actually, it stresses the *criteria* used to rate them. Lesee... Riding
Bean got 4 stars. Pretty good for an hommage to the Blues Brothers. It's
also a fun story, and a good subbing job, so it got that extra star.
Vampire Princess Miyu got 2 stars... looks like it's way too deep for the
"average" viewing audience. Dangaio gets 3.5 stars--lots of action, and
that's about it. Ditto for most of the others. Supprise! Gunbuster only got
2 stars, too. I guess they got at least one right :-).

Anyway, any movie with lots of action in it will tend to get a high rating
in these reviews. The more "depth" a film has, the more it makes you think
about what's happening, or the further away it is from "traditional"
versions of the theme, the lower the rating will get.

Really definitive, that is!!! Could you please cite all of your factual

What malicious rumours? All I have seen of David is him making a total
fool of himself trying to run Mike out of town on the network with
constant needling of getting Mike to argue with him in public.

BS. So far it has 90% been the AA people (or AA supporters) who have
had to reaffirm their belief in their con by dumping on Mike and AX.
Are all the people at AA so insecure that they must try to crush AX in
order to be a success? AX people don't seem to have that need.

Rise above it. The past (AE92) is PAST, let's leave it behind us, and
let's both run our respective cons.

No really, I once picked up 3 different books by 3 different movie reviewers 
and looked up a movie called "China Cry" each book gave this movie anywhere  
between ** -> **** stars(out of 4) so as you can see the above only 
represents -1- person's opinion. What you think could be totally different.

Gee... It's hard to describe.  When I saw it, I liked it.  The story is the
standard space opera for the most part, but what set it apart (at the time) is
that they used some computer animation [at least in the movie] along with the
standard cel animation.  It's hard to say... you can't really argue taste.  At
least I can tell you it is not as "heavy handed" as Captain Harlock.

I went there earlier tonight.  Not only do they have a bigger selection

But the big surprise came when I went to the cashier to ask a question.
Instinctively, I started flipping through the "Children's" section

Now all I have to do is find a script for MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CHAR'S

I think you are naive to consider it non-sexual.  In both those
scenes, Akane wants to get physical.  While there are non-sexual "S"
friendships in anime and manga, like Noriko and Kasumi, Akane's
feelings for Madoka include lesbianism.  Surely you don't discount
Kyousuke's lust, why should Akane's be any different?
