The movie is out in Japan, but like ARSLAN II and Silent Moebius II, the videos
aren't out just yet..(BTW, in Weathering Continent, Lacshi is a babe, IMHO)

Qvinta is something else, but the W.C. book is a compilation of the W.C
story, serialized in Fantasy Sensation Dragon magazine. (F.S. Dragon to
avaoid confusion to the Amrican Dragon)..

Not to mention Mita Ryuusuke for Dragon Half, Hajimi Sawada for Blood of
Matools,and Rui Araizumi w/Hajime Kanzaka for Slayers..These artists also
appear in Dragon comics (Next one out in Nov, with Masumune Shirow's latest
side story, Neuro Hard)...BTW, Yutaka Izubuchi is supervisor of the mag.
ANd for those who have seen Spirit of Wonder, artist  Kenji Tsuruta is in
there..(Make your own opinions of his art style; I sorta like it..)
(I almost forgot new artist, Kouji for Sword World and Hitoshi Okuda for
Detatoko Princess {which looks similiar to Rui Araizumi's work})

>I'm getting to particularly like Yuuichirou Tanuma (The Epitaph of the

It is interesting how many artists there ae who enjoy RPG...But anyways,
I enjoy Epitaph as well. WIth the advent of Dragon Comic so shortly before
the mention of Dragon Half OVA's being produced, I wonder if the comic
is a showcase for what might be coming out to anime..(I'd love to see Slayers
manga adopted to anime, as well as Rune Masquer adapted to anime...) Oh
yeah, Weathering Continent the movie will be out soon.
