You must have seen the first version (widely pirated and distributed).
The later one matched both lines.

Really? I read the first two issues and found them profoundly unfunny.
I still get the heebie-jeebies thinking about them.

Definitely a different version from the one I've got. They really
cleaned up the dialogue since the above version.

Keep one thing in mind, too. One was done for profit, and one was done
for fans and for fun. Are you surprised there is some differences????

Those models priced at $21.95 in Adavance Comics cost $12.00 at Pony Toys 
while $14.00 one (GP-01) costs $8.00. Geez, no wonder people bought
models like crazy at Anime Expo Dealer's room, paying $18.00 for 
for Y1000 model. :-)

We really need Pony Toys at Anime Expo 93.

Summary: more middlemen in dist. chain = higher costs

I'm not trying to justify high prices, just explain some of what causes them.

   Your typical comics store gets its anime-related goods from a distributor
like Capital City (whose consumer catalog is the Advance) and Diamond Dist.
(catalog is Previews).  These distributors do not import stuff themselves,
they get offered merchandise from an importer or publisher.  Which,they then
solicit in their monthly catalogs and buy from the importer, based on orders
they receive from the comic shops.  Now if the source is someone like B(Cr)ooks
Nippon, the distributor probably doesn't get much of a price break and
so they don't give the retail outlets much of one either.  The price in the
Advance is like a suggested price based on what the retailer will be paying.
Diamond sometimes won't even list a price, just a notation to ask your dealer
for a price as they give him a net cost in his copy of the Preview to work from.

   Diamond usually names the source of the merchandise sold in Previews.  I've
noticed that Books Nippon is generally where they get anime-mooks and magazines
from.  And Horizon is the importer for the Gundam models in this months catalog.

Well, the ad in Hitomi #3 says "Direct from Japan!  Not a reprint!"  Make
of that what you will.  I hope they do a better job printing it this time

Hi folks, old question, but I can't find the reference. I seem to remember
reading something to the effect that Appleseed was released in Japan in a shojo
 manga, or at any rate, a manga for college-age girls. Was I imagining this, or
perhaps stumbled over bad information?
 Also, what is the exact definition of sho^jo manga? I thought it refered to
more story-intensive, introspective manga, writen for girls. I have been told
that it is sparkly, cutesy Miki-Momo type stuff. My instinct is that we're
looking at it from different directions - Miki Momo is to shojo as Dragonball
is to shonen?

Do you want all-time favorites, or contemporary favorites?

My list must include:
Urusei Yatsura (even funnier than Ranma, IMHO)
Deceiver (by Seiji Sugou; how come no one else on the net seems to know his
   work?)
Galaxy Express 999 (I haven't seen enough of this)
2001 Nights (It sometimes got stupid, but had some good ideas and art)
Elf 17 (by Yamamoto Atsuji, someone else I've never seen discussed on the net)

Contemporary works:
Another Tomorrow (also by Seiji Sugou;  do I have a bias?)

My access to contemporary manga is a bit limited, hence only one listed.

Sorry I don't have ten of each, but I try to be somewhat selective...

He is still doing Dragon Ball.  He is also doing DragonQuest.  DragonQuest
was turned into a 43 episode TV series, and is now a tv series "DragonQuest
Dai no Daiboken", which is much more kiddified and VERY much less 
interesting than the original.  The DragonQuest manga now follows the "Dai no
Daiboken" (Adventures of Dai) storyline.

He also did Dr. Slump, which I have little experience with, but is a
particularly funny show (and manga I assume), more in the DragonBall than
DragonBall Z vein about a scientists who creates a robotic girl with 
super strength "Arale".  She makes a "guest appearance" in the 
DragonBall "Fantasic Adventure", the third "movie" compiled from the 
television series story.

Speaking of Akira Toriyama, he has an artbook that I noticed listed in 
the Nikaku Catalog, has anybody bought this?   How much Dragonball is in 
it?  I really like Dragonball, but I'm not too keen on Dr. Slump (mainly 
because I haven't seen much).

He's still doing Dragon Ball.  
Some of his previous works are:
Dr.Slump
Dragon Quest
2 volumes of short work collections. ( Highly recommanded! )
Manga Hettapi  ( Toriyama-san teaches how to draw funny mangas. )

I guess there are more....

those who received ch.41, this addition will take you to the conclusion of
the story with the crisis, and it will conclude book 6.  I will upload it
as soon as I go over it again, and if you're interested and want to be sure,
you may try e-mail me and I will try to e-mail it to you directly.
