I know what you mean!  I started watching Japanese dramas (Ohiminara
Kiteyone, Kimi no hitomi o taiho suru, kimi ga uso wo tsuita) and when
I think back on the shows, I remember them as being in English with
their original (Japanese) voices.  Badly dubbed movies are always
remembered as such.

Go on, Ryan! Give us the end of the story! Unless you have big plans for the
finish (or my memory fails me...) you could wrap it up in a chapter or two.
Just sit down and blast it out, and then you'll never have to worry about it
again :-) 

Sorry, but I can't help with the EoG question...

Well, there is a beta version of a MAG (I think it does MAG, it does do a
bunch of Japanese graphic formats) on the GRAPHSUPPORT forum on CI$.  If
someone would point me to a nice FTP server, I can put it up.  I don't

Do you know a FTP site that carries a lot of Japanese images?

The background music sounded very similar to that in the Japanese animation
"Macross" <Chinese name above>.  Then, I did not pay very much attention.

     Just yesterday, I occationally saw some of television in San Francisco

classical music for the background, and when in Taiwan one disallow
some Japanese television (?), even then one uses *Japanese* music.  This
shows the popularity of some Japanese culture in Taiwan.

I hadn't seen your posting, otherwise, I would've said "NOT!".  (It
retails for $30) You should never pay more then the manufacturers
price.  You can always get it from Streamline, et al for that price.

S.R.P. for Madox - 01 is #39.95.  Most likely it's the stores which are gouging
you.  I'll let Robert respond to the rest, but I believe he's already left
Japan to come back here on business (gee, I wonder if part of that means 
WorldCon 8-), so I don't know if he can respond.

Ryan Gavigan
gavigan@gn.ecn.purdue.edu

The jist of the matter is, when say, AnimEigo sells a tape at SRP $39.95 then
that means they ACTUALLY sell them at $19.95 to the wholesalers and dealers.

The actual physical production of the tape was about $6-7 if I remember 
correctly.  Add that with the royalty payments, pre-production and packaging
costs, and it doesn't leave much if any, margin.  If they could sell 50,000
copies or 100,000 copies, they could price down at $24.95 or so. As yet, they
don't , so they can't....YET 8-)

I thought that Sentinels was OK, but not of the flavor of Robotech, through no
fault of McKinney's.  Robotech was always humans vs. overpowering aliens, and
took place (mostly) on Earth.  It felt like a war story, but the Sentinels
books had more of a general sci-fi feel to them.  And _End of the Circle_ was
very strange, especially with all the cyperpunk elements with Louie and his
gang, and the whole business with Haysn, the Regis, and Newspace.  Of all 18
books, I think McKinney did the best job with Part 3 (New Generation/Mospeada). 
Those ones I enjoy reading, though I hate it when he makes changes in dialouge
that were better in the TV version.  There were three good things McKinney did:

1. He explained a lot about Zor and the origin of the SDF-1, and stuff about
its landing on Earth.  His other "origin of the story" parts were good as well.

2. In the episode "Hired Gun" in New Generation, with the part-mechanical human
out to kill all his old buddies because they didn't help him escape the Inid,
the show makes him out to be a hero at the end.  McKinney simply called him a
victim.  That's the only chnage he ever made to the story that I think is
better than the original.

3. In _The End of the Circle_, I love the explanation for the diappearance of
the SDF-1's space fold drives way back in episode 3 of Macross.  It was so
perfect, and very funny.

I'm just not used to the big city, but I feel a lot safer "out in nowhere"
than I do in Oakland.  With the Light Rail access immediately in front of
Westin Hotel and SCCC, one can acces a wide variety of locations within 20 
min. without a car.  Gombei (restaurant) and Nikaku is a 5 min. walk from 
the "Ayer" LRT stop.  There is no shortage of restaurants and attractions in
downtown SJ.  Of course there's Great America theme park across the street.
I do not recommend using the train on the night of the 4th (through personal 
experience)...It's sorta like, how do you fit 200,000 people in a 3 car train
that's already full.  Using your car on that night will also be a problem.
Luckily while others are struggling to be a part of the fireworks action,
you'll already be at the center of it by walking out the front door of the 
hotel and looking up.  The fireworks will be very, very close by! 

Floorspace is absolutely no problem at the SCCC, much more than the Rid Lion
or the Parc.  The standard (not convention) rates at the Westin were stated 
as $89, single or double; and $15 extra for each additional adult beyond 2;  
Suites at $225+.  Parking is free and aboundant. 

I challenge anyone capable to visit both locations inside and out, and 
compare for yourself.  And then post post post...(Uhum... Albert)
