The real woory, IMHO, is what Carl will do with the voices in Sazan Eyes.
Considering how he wants to handle foreign characters (ie bad accents ala
Nadia), I can imagine how all the Japanese and Hong Kong characters will be
handled.

I would be kind of interested to know why the Japanese choose English-
Language acronyms for their mecha, etc.  For example, there's MOS-
PEADA, then there's Project EDEN from the Dirty Pair movie of the same
name, and there's ADAM (unless Absolute Disentigration of Available
Mass was made up by Carl Macek, which I doubt).  Is English so close
to being a second language of the Japanese (like it is for the French)
that they assume people will understand it anyway, is it the same as
the "neutral background" thing which makes their anime easier to sell
overseas, or is it something else entirely?

	A fact: last semester, people came specially only to see KOR, but now, 
	there is a big trend for people 'walk out' when MI starts and return

	Even Ranma 1/2 did better.

	Would it be the charaters which attract viewers?

	e.g. Madoka, Kyosuke, Ranma, Akane, Ryoga, etc......
	(And isn't that strange that the name I mentioned came straight out

	Maybe it is different from others' point of view.

Basically, because of complaints regarding the voice acting.  If you like

no other legal English version of FotNS available.

	Akane is more embrassed and guilty than scared of Ryoga's advances.
It couple with the fact that Ryoga is super strong. A passionate hug could
be suffocating as Ranma found out at the end of the water resistant soap
story. I believe Ranma have reason to be scared. Once Akane realizes Ryoga
is P-chan, there can be no other way out for her than marrying Ryoga.
Remember, this is still a somewhat conservative society. Too bad Ryoga is
not a jerk like Ranma, other wise he could just press his advantage to get
Akane.

	As far as Ranma's Free Food from Shampoo and Uykyo, I think it is
unresponsibele and selfish for Ranma to accept the gift from Shampoo and
Uykyo know that he will not pay them back. You don't accpt gift from people
without paying them back. This is very reason why Ranma is an ass. He comes
to Uykyo's shop. Eat his free food, and leave. When Uykyo try to ask him to
goto vocation with her all Ranma did was munching on the food and ignore
her. This is exactly what a jack ass will do. Do not defend Ranma because he
is the main character. As I have say before, Takahashi's male main character
is always flawed. Ranma is no exception. He is intended by Rumiko San to be
that way and I don't think he is worth defending anyway.

Ryan, I think it's cool in of itself that you attempted the Dave Sim
Groucho Marx/Lord Julius thing with Lord Robin. I'm a fan of the first
sixth of that comic--I haven't really followed it up since then. I took
Sim's advice, though, and saw "Duck Soup," and I agree that almost every
idea in it has been stolen in later comedies.

I think one of the things that makes you're stories so good is that
you're "cognizant of consequences."

	I'm fairly new to KOR (seen about 14 episodes so far) but am loving all of it.  I'd love to buy the LD's..  anyhow:

	I remember in KOR's OAV "Hurricane!  Akane.." Kyosuke said it was
the summer of his 17th birthday (or something)..  Can someone explain to me
why they appear to in Jr high school during the series?  Hikaru is referred
to as a Grade 7..  Is this just the Japanese way of counting grade levels?
