I've now seen the patlabor movie, P1, and the Griffin eps (30-35) and
I'm wondering what the order is? Can someone give me the rundown on this?
It looks like the Tv eps in P1 should be watched first and strangely
enough the OAV (#1 no less) seems to come after the Griffin eps. Does
the OAV series come after the Tv series or what? Also where does the movie
fit in chronologically. How many TV and OAV eps are there?

Well, most good subs are not word-for-word matches because the resulting
translation would sound very akward to English-speaking viewers.  But
the meaning is still the same (unlike, say, Streamline's stuff).

No.  They probably got a good deal on VHS tape, but forgot to degauss it
properly before re-using.  Interesting anecdote (possibly apocryphal):

	Celebrity Home Video (who released the English dub of FAMOUS
	DETECTIVE HOLMES, among other things), had a similar problem
	with some tapes of their "For Kids" label.  But in this case,
	it was not a copy of IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE what came up on the
	tape.  It seems they got some tape from an adult video publisher
	who had gone out of business...

How about using a character that the fans in North America created?  How about
a character from Bayscape 2042?  That sounds logical since it is a fan T-shirt

"The Magical Princess Gigi", dubbed by Harmony Gold, starring Reba West as
Gigi in her young girl form (I'm not sure if a different actress plays her
adult forms; they certainly don't sound anyting like Reba West)  It has a
few other of the more famous Intersound voices as well.
Released by Celebrity Home Entertainment under their "Just For Kids" label.

(The same one they released the Macross movie, Locke, Captain Harlock,
Hi no Tori 272, and all those other children's cartoons under... :)

Celebrity has never responded to the catalog-request post cards I sent them,
and the Gigi tape (I got it for $6.99 at Kaybees) had been marked down
several times, as had all of the Celebrity tapes they had, and they've never
gotten any new ones in, juts keep trying to sell the old ones off (no anime
left, mostly curtesy of me:) so Celebrity may no longer be selling it (them).

P.S. The movie is hilarious!  Anyone here seen both this and the original
and want to comment on differences?

   Release the Lodoss War 11-13 scripts, already.  Enough is enough.
There will always be pirates; there's no way to completely erradicate
them.  All that we can do is ignore them.  Sure, your scripts would 
probably be used to create pirate videos, but they would also help
many more upstanding fans better understand a good anime series.  Did
you write the scripts for anime fandom, or for your own personal gain?
It certainly seems like the latter.

Well, let's see here...gravity being the weakest of the four
fundamental interactions, electromagnetism, the weak interaction and
the strong interaction come to mind  :-)  So, just bind each of the
individual nucleons of the asteroid to the strong (for the protons)
and weak interactions (for the neutrons) respectively and you're set.

But, on a more serious note, "all" they have to do is impart enough
tangential component on the asteroid to send it into an orbital trajectory
instead of a radial one.

Actually "wa" is no really "is" not is "ga" translate to "are"
The plurality is indicated by other means.

ie) "boku wa gakusei desu" -> "I am a student"
    "boku-tachi wa gakusei desu" -> "We are students"

That is "wa" is a particle indicating the previous noun phrase 
to be the subject of the sentence.

As for "ga", it is sometime used interchangeably with "wa"
Often when a character is FIRST introduced in a story.
But normally, it is used in place of "wa" to make compound
sentences, where you wouldve seen two "wa"'s in the sentence
one is replace with "ga"

ie) "watashi wa anata ga anime wo mite iru koto wo shitte iru."
   -> I know you're watching anime. 

Also, "ga" is used as the OBJECT marker for things of perception
and feeling.

ie) "Anata ga suki da" -> "(I), like you"

News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41    



I think that one of the main allures of expertise in any subject is the 
ability to impress people at parties.  But, if one is unable to toss
off the tech talk like casual banter, one's chances of meeting and wooing
a young lady by one's stunning urbanity and consequently having her let
one put one's hand in her blouse out of sheer admiration are seriously
diminished.  And before one can banter properly one must be able to 
pronounce all the words properly.

Unfortunately for the would-be pursuer of erudition, most of the names in
the arts are hopelessly jumbled with accents grave and acute (sometimes 
over letters that have no business at all with accents--the mind recoils
from the thought of all the carousers who've been sent to the showers [cold
ones, verily] after being unable to parse the little squigglies hovering
over that Belgian bastard Dvorak's name [squiggles deleted in deference
to the medium.  say (D)VOOR-zhack] or pronouncing `Camus' just the way it's
spelled).  Something must be done to place artistic elitism within the
grasp of the average schmuck or ameteur aesthete (ecce homo.  Latin' always
good for a bit of snobbery, a trick your humble narrator picked up from the
R.C.'s) without all that mucking about with learning the subject matter.

In short, my query--does anyone have a list of the names of artists with
their names translated into human (or rather, American) phonetics?  For,
although there are plenty of in-the-bag names like `Picasso,' there are
looming hordes of Vigee (with one of those odious acute accents over the 
initial `E') Lebruns and Veroneses (that's vaa-ra-NAY-saa, not
ver-o-NEESE) waiting to trip the aspiring snob.
