Since the second posting last week, I've gotten only one response of interest.
However, we've received two phone calls from the flyer at the Closet
of Comics.  At this point, we seem to get more interest from the
flyer than this posting.  However, I'll still post this third and 
final time so anyone with an account can see this and contact us. 
Thus, I print the following for the last time:

To Fellow Students of the University of Maryland or University College:

	I, together with other students, am attempting to form
a recognized student anime/manga organization through the Office
of Campus Activities at the University.  However, before the group
can be formed, I wish to gauge student interest in participating
and joining in such an organization.  If you are a full or part-time
student interested in participating in the organization's 
development, then please e-mail me directly, or call (301) 317-8496 
and leave your name and number so we can contact you.  If I receive
enthusiastic feedback, then the group will probably be a success,
but if the feedback is lackluster, then it will likely fail.  Thus,
your response is valuable and will make a difference.  Please 
respond and make this dream a reality.



Note: This is the third of three postings.   I'll post again
      in a couple of weeks to update on the status of the
      group (we have enough to start a group).  We'll also be
      posting flyers elsewhere on College Park.

Okay, I detest Macek as much as the next guy does, but I have one question
for you. Why do you keep on buying stuff from Streamline??? Everybody
bitches and complains about how much they hate Macek and his butcher jobs,
well the way I see it, the only way that you can change it is if you don't
buy Streamline's JUNK. I have never bought any of their stuff, and I don't
plan to. In fact the only thing that I have even seen from them is Akira,
and that was done prior to Macek anyway.

If you really want to send a message to Streamline to straighten its act,
try doing it through the pocketbook. If Macek is too much of a stubborn
@^%$#@^%, then obviously reasoning will not work. If you boycott all
Streamline products, maybe you can bring a change about.

Heh, it's not like you will die if you don't see Streamline's latest
release, will you? So instead of crying about it do something instead.

Just my opinion. I hate having to wade through all of those "Did you see
what Macek did this time" messages. Maybe if everyone has a similar view
point we can collectively make Macek see the light (doubtful, but you
never know).

I also heard that Japanese vampires could turn invisible.

Getting off on a tangent, is there any "limit" on Miyu's abilities or actions?
I've only seen the first four OAV's, so all I can deduce is that:

She is immune to crosses and holy water.
She is immune to sunlight.
She can enter a house uninvited.
She is not bound to a coffin containing dirt from the graveyard where she was
  originally buried.  (If what I saw from the OAV's is right, Miyu never was
  buried).

Western Vampires, according to legend, cannot do this, but they can:

Command animals, especially wolves and nocturnal creatures.
Turn into bats, mist, dust, cats, dogs, wolves, and a few other things I can't
  remember.

They also are vunderable to silver or a wooden stake driven through the heart,
and cannot travel over moving water, save in a coffin (that has dirt from the
country ...).

I agree, I generally prefer subtitles to dubbing, but I did think of a
good reason for dubbing on the way home from a test screening of _My
Neighbor Totoro._ The dub, I think, was done by Streamline, although
the distribution was being done by the original Japanese producer
(they were running a test balloon up for the U.S. market).  A fair
portion of the audience was in the 5--8 year old range (with another
group being their parents).  They could quite litterally have not
watched a subtittled movie, their reading skills just aren't up to it.
One of the great features of _Totoro_ is its all ages appeal (like the
early Disney greats); subtitling would have raised the minimum age for
the movie.

Mind you, I think subtitling is a great idea for a slightly older
audience:  "You want to watch this fun stuff, you learn to read!"

Anime America is increasing the exposure of manga and doujinshi, but NOT
at the expense of anime programming.  AnAm has an _extensive_ film, video,
and CCTV program (our hotel contract guarantees us use of three of the
hotel's CCTV channels during the convention) scheduled that will satisfy
the most enthusiastic anime fans.  On top of our anime programming we have
added manga (to include translated manga and US manga-style artists) and
doujinshi programming, displays, and events because of manga and doujinshi's
importance and minimal exposure to date.  For those of you who haven't seen
doujinshi, you're in for a real treat!  The artwork in many doujinshi is
phenominal, and is done by fans for fans (the parodies will have you ROFLAO).

If you really want some stats and some more insight into Vampires. Pick up the
AD&D Ravenloft monstrous compendium. It's been a while since I've played a
game but it's got some nice infos on vampires in general and no they're not
all afraid of sunlight, garlic, mirrors, holy symbols, holy water, silver
weapons, holy stakes, etc..etc.
