[Comments about Streamline not having dubbed Akira or Laputa, or
having subtitled Twilight of the Cockroaches deleted.]
 
I didn't see Twilight of the Cockroaches in the theater, but on the
laserdisc jacket it says, "Subtitles written and adapted by Carl
Macek".  And although the Streamline logo appears at the beginning of
the film, I didn't mention "Streamline" in my message.  Carl Macek is
the one who subtitled ToTC.

My dream anime;

David Drake's _Hammer's Slammers_ (or _Rolling Hot_), with technological 
stuff (tanks, guns, ships, etc) by Shirow, and character designs by Sonada. 

Or _Northworld - Vengeance_ with the same team.

This sounds a lot like Yaware, which is the term for a group of hand arts
(escapes and holds) that form the basis of Jujitsu and several other
styles of Japanese martial arts.  Yawara might be a pun on Yawara.

I personally have never had any problems with reading and watching at
the same time.  Maybe I'm blessed, too? :-) Either I'm reading the
subtitles very quickly, or I'm sort of doing it peripherally,... I never
really thought about it because it seems so natural.  I never miss any
of the action.

The ONLY times subs become a problem is when the dialogue is zipping by
REALLY fast, you know what I mean?  Almost to the point where the people
subtitling have just about given up hope in getting the timing right.

For me, dubbing is bad.  The seiyuu, IMHO, are irreplaceable.  To do so,
even if done well, still ends up detracting from the anime.  (But I
don't doubt that dubbing is needed to lure in the masses, I personally
don't care for it, that's all)

I don't seem to have FTP access right now, so I was wondering if somebody could
mail me a Project Ako 2 script? While the movie is pretty self-explanatory, I
would love to read the dialogue, so I can get the jokes and little subtle
things.

Also, does anyone have a GIF of that one frame shot of C-Ko with holding the
two fans with Japanese flags on them? I mean the frame they inserted in the
explosion scene that's about 28 minutes into the film on my copy.

drawn to resemble caucasians and not orientals. This is not (entirely) true
with Akira, for instance, but characters like the Colonel are very "American."

Not so!  The Colonel does not appear to be the slightest bit overweight! :-)
Actually, there is really not that much difference in appearance
between caucasians and orientals.  It is just that the Japanese artists do
not emphasize the features that say "oriental" to Americans, such
as slanty eyes or a deep golden color.  (Many of my Japanese coworkers ar,
in fact, quite pasty-0looking.  Comes from working indoors all the time :-(

2) I noticed that in many places, a lot of writing is in the Latin alphabet.
Acronyms (CRC) on the science vans, for instance. Some pieces of text are
actually written in English. The bar door says "Adults Only," for example.
Most everything else in "Akira" is written in Kanji/Japanese, so I find these
bits of English here and there quite strange. The version I have is the
dubbed offering from Streamline (which is probably the one everyone and his/her
uncles has). One explanation could be that these parts would "added" but I
doubt it. I don't know many artists that could emulate the style of artwork
present in "Akira," particularly with relation to the exquisite backgrounds.

No, the English was not added.  That is the way Tokyo actually looks.
It has been said that English is a powerfull language because it borrowed
words from so many other languages.  Japanese is now borrowing words
at a faster rate than English ever did.  I have seen signs and ads that
used Japanese, English, Spanish, Thai, and Korean words, all mixed 
together.  I remember staring at one of the unusual spanish letters
trying to figure out which Kanji it was!

3) Another thing I noticed is not so strange, I don't suppose, but I hope
someone can try to explain it to me.. What is the deal with all the Mecha?

Haven't a clue.

Actually, you missed my sarcasm. Surely there are better ways to
advertise such "fun" stuff as A-Ko and Humanoid as (excuse the term)
"jiggling breasts" or similar as they have done on most of their
releases (including Dominion, which IMHO is one of the tamest cases,
Puma sisters notwithstanding, yet they promoted it with a sexual
angle).

Now, GUNBUSTER deserves the term "jiggling breasts" (deserves an award
for it, if anything) but USR was quite a bit more sensible in their
marketing of that title. Why can't USMC be as sensible?

As Enrique pointed out already (and I thought I'd do it again just out of 
faith to Yuri), Yuri is actually from a planet called Yocha. Kei, her
