Apparently (why didn't this surprise me?) it's done by Masami Yuki.
(Well, with the girl somewhat reminiscent of the original Madoka
design, not surprising.)

It's "Birdy the Mighty", though.

BTW. Anyone know what it says on her shirt? Can't quite make it out.

I checked up on 'what's with Nausicaa' earlier this week.  I was told that
volume 3 would not be published *until* the whole thing was "in the can".
It has nothing to do with Miyazaki wanting more $$$ for the comic.

(Funny, I was under the impression that Nausicaa vol. 3 *was* done.  Sorry
 I'm not up on this - anyone know for sure?)

Lets face it, the reason why most of us are into comics / anime
is that it is *escapist entertainment*.  Because of this, one of
the last things I'm going to do at a con is wallow in the horror
of Hiroshima.  Now perhaps Nakazawa has done other things besides
Gen, but I'm not aware of them.  More importantly, I don't
like his art style.  Flame me if you want, but that's my opinion.

If the art resembled one of todays "hot" artists like Shirow or
Otomo, perhaps I might have given Gen a second look.  But as an
American, I don't like to dwell on such events.  I don't read
books about the slave trade, or massacre of native Americans
for fun; likewise I prefer to skip the topic of Hiroshima.
I had my share of melted eyeballs and permanent shadows in high
school and college.

I'm sure his work is very emotionally moving.  It is good that
people like him speak out about the horrors of war.  But there
is an implied message here.  Why is it that every Japanese
movie / comic / speech about the war that I am aware of dwells
on Japanese suffering?

There you have it.  This is why I avoided him at the con.  Please
don't invite him back; the money could be spent bringing a guest
that the rest of us fans might appreciate.

Well, I rather thought Alita was a well-done manga, both translated
and art.  My roommate agreed with me, and thought the art was a blend
of the usual manga art (that he's seen) and some of Moebius' stuff.


As for Five Star Stories, I had gotten the Animags with the translations
of the stories, but hadn't really gotten 'into' them until I borrowed
a copy of the OAV from a friend, and used the translation of the first
part to try to understand it... and fell in love with the story, and the
look of the world.  I hope, in the future, to pick up the manga volumes.

Oh, OK, it seems that people do.  Thanks for the email, everyone. ^_^
Without feedback, ya begin to wonder.  It's just that there's a finite
amount of time available for translation, and there's so much out there
that deserves to be introduced to a wider audience.

BTW, the new Ranma 1/2 movie doesn't look half bad.  Latest SS has
scenes of Ranma vs. Tom, Ryouga vs. Sartor, Kunou vs. Wantan, and
Mousse vs. Tristan.

Correction: that translation is part 11 of volume 21, not part 10.
My mistake.

Reply-To: axolotl@socs.uts.edu.au

There's a slim book called "Outrageous Japanese", not unlike the "Making out
in Japanese" books.  It's full of the kind of slang that you see all the
time in manga, ie. the sort of stuff that's impossible to find in
most dictionaries.  There is a lot of interesting digression, too.

It's especially useful for those manga which are bursting with insults
and death threats.  It seems fairly authoritative, though I wouldn't know if
it was or not.  (Even so, the translation of "ahondara" - one of Y. Takagi's
favourites! - as "yo-yo" seems a bit strange.)


I can post more details if there's interest.  (I can't remember what it
says about "otaku" offhand. ^_^)  Also, if you know the book and think
it's inaccurate or not worth recommending, please post.

Reply-To: axolotl@socs.uts.edu.au
Organization: Megami Jimusho
Keywords: spoilers, translation, synopsis

Just a quick posting about how the story with Ranma's mum turned out,
since Patrick & I didn't have time to fully translate it.  The story went
on for a while, following what seems to be Takahashi's unfortunate tendency
to make stories 20% longer than the optimum.

As you know, Ranma was posing as "Ranko", Akane's "cousin", to hide
from his mother. She was going to kill him & Genma, if Ranma hadn't
turned out to be a man's man.  So one day everyone was sitting around the
dinner table, and Ranma's mum was asking Akane whether she thought Ranma
was cool & handsome. ^_^  Then...

Kasumi:         Doesn't Ranma-kun look so much like his mother!
Nabiki:         You think so?
  (She points her chopsticks at Ranma-chan)
                For sure, his features are exactly like that!
Mrs. Saotome:   Hm?
Souun:          Let's change the subject.
Mrs. Saotome:   Well, then... what are Ranma's hobbies?
Souun (to panda):
                Certainly an obliging woman...
Nabiki:         Ah, Ranma-kun's hobby.
Akane:          Martial arts .. I guess.
Nabiki:         Wearing women's clothes, isn't it?
  (Ranma-chan looks very worried.)

Mrs. Saotome:   Wearing women's clothes...?
  (She pulls out the sword.  Ranma freaks out.)
                That isn't a very masculine hobby...


That night, Mrs. (Nodoka) Saotome is talking in her sleep, saying
"Ranma..." with tears in her eyes.  Then the sword comes flying out,
almost taking off Ranma's head. ^_^   Akane thinks that she has
to do something about this, so she arranges for Ranma and Nodoka
to meet, reasoning that Ranma is so manly that everything will
be OK.

[end spoilers]

Of course, Genma does his best to stop this, and eventually Nodoka
gives up hope and wanders off, somewhat distressed.  She absent-mindedly
sits on the switch for a hot water mains, sending her flying hundreds
of feet in the air on a burst of hot water.  Ranma sees this and
jumps in to save her.  On the way down, they recognize each other, and
embrace. (One of the series' most emotional moments! ji---n)

Nodoka passes out from the emotion of it all.  When she wakes up,
it's raining, and "Ranko" is holding her.  She says that she had
a beautiful dream where she met her wonderful manly son, and
happily leaves for good.

But I guess if Pansuto Taro can come back, then she can come back, too.

Accoding to my dictionary, "hentai" can mean, among other things, "aberration"
or "perversion", of a sexual nature in the above context.

SCEBAI is a pun, I think.  The ARIEL anime (where I suspect this came from)
had SCEBAI in romajii and katakana, the katakana spelling was something like
"su-ke-be-i", where "sukebe" means "lecherous", if I recall correctly.

Looks like Afternoon is going to reach its goal of 1000 pages without
a great loss in quality -- #10 is supposed to have 800+ pages. (!)

But as for #9... in AMG!, looks like Aoyama is turning out to be a real
rival for Keiichi.  The new English title for Fukaku Utsukushiki Asia is
changed from "Deep and Beautiful Asia" to "Magical Super Asia", for some
reason.  The limousine hood ornaments from the Ideal Leader's battle
with the Sublime Leader (Kanbi-Oh) are still around!  (Maybe I missed
something, I've only been reading Afternoon for a few months.)

I really liked Killing Paranoia, the story about the ijime victim
who gets his revenge.  (BTW, is anyone else going to enter the
Open Contest?  Looks like the standard is going to be really high.)

Good news is that 22 Aug will see the release of Kiseiju 5, Dr. Kishiwada 1,
and Discommunication 1.  I didn't think that there was enough material
for the latter two, but I'll buy them anyway - of course.  Hmm, just
had a thought... if Kiseiju was ever English-ised, the pages would be
reversed, and they could mangalate Miggy's name as "Lefty". ^_^

Anyone else like Jigoku no Ie ("Housing Inferno")?  I think it's so
sick and extreme and funny.  (Why do all Afternoon's heroes have first
names ending in "-ichi"? ^_^  Well, Gyouichi goes to jail after hitting
a cop, and gets 'involved' with this really gross woman there.  Also,
his stepmother and his girlfriend have a fight after they find out
about each other's, er, relationships.)

As for Koala no Arako, no comment. ^_^


Onto Young Mag.  It seems that Otenki Onesan is getting pretty popular,
eh?  I sometimes wonder if YM is evolving into a de facto H publication.
Anyway, 3x3 Eyes bits... Yakumo finally found the sorcerer who sealed off
Benares -- he was watching a Muay Thai match at the time. (!)
This bloke is apparently a descendant of Madurai, too.  Oh, vol.12 is
out in a week.

I think Takada's portrayal of England is kind of bizarre, but that's just
my opinion.  BTW, what's that new anime which he did the character
designs for?

I heard somewhere that hentai was a stronger term than scebai/sukebei...hentai
has all kinds of sicko connotations, I think, and implies sexual deviance,
where scebai is sort of a mild insult...

# They're $13 each

I saw volume 8 at the bookstore yesterday.
Since they are 1000 yen in Japan, $13 is a good price.

Any more details on Birdy the Magnificent (artist, publisher, currently
running, basic plot, comments, etc)?  Sounds like it might be worth looking
in to.
