Has anyone seen Compiler yet (yet another quality Kia Asamiya product)?
I saw in Newtype that it was out last month... The character designs
look beautiful (never seen the manga, only read the translations).

Also, in March Newtype, it seems to indicate that there will be a
further Assemble Insert chapter... (YAY!)

Speaking of Pinesalad parodies, what ever happened to "Or Why You Shouldn't Fly
Delta"? Norman st.Paul Polevaulter managed to score a pristine set of DP redubs
straight from Pinesalad, and they put an ad in the back for a redub of Flight
005 Conspiracy. Claimed it would come out in late 1991. Did they give it up as
a bad job? (I have trouble picturing 005 as a comedy)

    Speaking of 005, I missed any discussions on the subject. Was I the only
one who found the character designs to be bizarre (to say the least! Affair of
Nolandia was a hideously bad OAV, but the character designs were merely
insipid. The DP tend to develop double noses at middle distances from the
camera in 005!)

I may be mistaken, but I believe that's "Ren'ai, Oboete Masu ka?" isn't it?
According to the dictionary I have, "ai" and "ren'ai" are both described as
"love", but the first one indicates parental or fraternal love, while the
second relates to a more passionate form between lovers.

You could always try laser perceptions. Since they ONLY deal in laser disks and
CD's, and since the movie's quite old, chances are pretty good that they'll
have at least one copy in stock. TTYL.

If by "over there" you mean Japan, you're getting a bargain.  Most new
OVA's (like Bubblegum Crash for example) go for Y10,000 - about US$75.
The current US pricepoints on subtitled Anime are about halfway between
initial videotape release prices ($80 - sold to video stores) and
subsequent sellthrough ($25 - sold to consumers).  This is because we
don't have the clout to sell at the high price (video stores NEED T2,
they don't need BGC nearly as much [yet, anyway]) and we don't have the
volume (100,000+ units [yet, anyway (grin)]) to sell at the low price.

I truly wish AnimEigo was selling enough units to justify going to
$19.95 - an as a matter of fact, we are testing this pricepoint this
summer by releasing the Hurricane Live 2032 Music Video (25 mins) at
$19.95.  We hope to get it into the videostore Music Video sellthrough
racks and introduce Anime to a lot of new fans that way.

Most comic-book stores work on a 25-30% markup, not 300%.  If you ask
nicely, you can probably get a store to special order for you and split
the discount, which will bring your cost-per-tape down under $30.

Keisi Liner is the cheapest, I think.
Keisei will take you to Ueno.  Then you have to transfer to the JR line

Narita Express may be the fastest.  (but very expensive)
Narita Express will take you to Tokyo.  Then you have to transfer
to the Yamamote Line (green train) and go two stops to Akihabara.
(you don't have to get out of the station)

From Akihabara to Shinjuku, you should take the Sobu Line to Ochanomizu.
(yellow train, one stop)  Then change to the Chuo Line (orange train) to
Shinjuku.  If you take the "kaisoku" (sort of express) it is only
two stops to Shinjuku, about 15 minutes.
Also there are a couple "discount" stores in Shinjuku that sells
electronic stuff just as cheap (or cheaper) than Akihabara.
They also sell some CD's at 10% off.  They also have some HK versions
of Japanese CD's which are at least 1000 yen cheaper than Japanese ones.
No anime CD's though..

I was given the explanation that the "Buster [weapon]" thingie plus the
hokey "cloak" defense ("Buster shield")  were done tongue-in-cheek
and as a parody... I could accept that, but my feeling was that it was
too much of an emotional shift:  the rest of the show was getting very
serious and meloncholy, and then the Buster machine pulls out a cloak!

I'm not so sure I agree with that kind of "creative genius".

I thought the b&w was nice actually...added to the mood.

Gee, Why don't you FIND OUT what you are talking about BEFORE you post
WRONG information.
 
US and Japan use the same NTSC format. Any video recorded in Japan or the
US can be used by video products from each other's country. Japan is
broadcasting MUSE HDTV through BS (Broadcast Satellite), that is the only
exception. Japanese TV channels are on different frequncies than US
channels, so a Japanese VCR may not receive all US channels and vice
versa.
 
Australia (and other Commonwealth contries) use the PAL video format which
is not compatible with NTSC.
 
Don't listen to this guy when he says Japan videos need to "translated"
into a US format. It IS the same format to begin with.

If we're gonna have pics posted in rec.arts.anime, could they PLEASE be
in gif format? (Even so, this is not the area to post pictures.)

Did anyone manage to turn the jpg into a gif? Stuffed up for me. (I can
never get this jpeg converter to work.)
