Eternal life does not equate to making him a vampire.  Unless someone
comes up with a GOOD arguement otherwise, I'll keep on assuming that it
is wine.  Don't you think the smell (at least) would have make Miyu-chan
suspicious ("Mom, why does dad drink blood?")  Larva is SHINMA and even
before Miyu bit him, he had a thing for stealing souls/life.  So, if
he's a vampire now, he was before too.  The teen in the first episode was
NOT turned into a vampire (as far as we know) -- he was in eternal
happiness.

The only indication that Miyu can make another person into a vampire is
her comment about how she could have saved Aiko-chan.  And maybe it
should be translated more along the lines that Miyu could have given
her eternal life, thus saving her from the Baku (not speaking Japanese
I can't prove or disprove this).  Well, maybe her comments to Himiko
about "blood waking up" could be interpreted this way too.

I don't think there is any good indication that Miyu passes on the curse
of vampirism.  The only "curse" she gives is eternal life, which is not
the good thing people might think at first as evidenced by Miyu's father.

All this is IMHO, of course.  But after watching it many times (it is my
favorite OVA series) I really don't think that Miyu turns people into
vampires.  The "point" is that eternal life is its own curse.  The
victims don't NEED another one.

I do't have my fact sheets here, but they did grow between the show and the
OVAs. I just hope they make the next CD drama into an OVA, They all grow up,
and DaCider looks oh so yummy.

Milk is short, Lamuness is about 4 inches taller than her, and Cocoa is taller

        Well what did you expect from CNN?  These guys aren't interested in anything more than filling a couple minutes of a time slot.  Accuracy in their reports?  What, and have it interfere with a profit?
        Anime (and in fact many things Japanese, like karaoke) is getting more and more publicity and has begun to make a foothold on American culture.  I don't believe for one moment that most Americans are going to change their views about animation, certainly not the bottom-dollar studios who will pander to whatever audience that will throw the most money at them...and that audience is definitely NOT anime fen.

Actually, if I remember right, the KOR discs aren't pressed by Toho 
actualy, I believe they've subcontracted out to anothr LD manufacturer. I 
only say this because I remember the spine of the LD (where the serial 
marks always are) bearing that distinct marks and type fonts that match 
some of the US releases (like Dances With Wolves or Fantasia, I forget). 
I know it's not Pioneer Japan, butI don't believe it was "actually" Toho, 
though Toho is responsible obviously.  And the separate KOR discs bear 
markings of a different company.  I don't have the box set in front of me 
now so I can't describe it exactly.  But if you want to compare the 
inner-most pat of the disc (near the center) where the "numbers"are... 
compare the fonts to the separate movie disc, say, of that with any of 
the box set discs... tell me what you see.

Battle of the planets had obnoxious inserts with the stupid robot
Seven Zark Seven, and his pet robot dog, 1 rover 1. Most of the violence
has been removed and the storyline has been reduced to the cartoon
equivalent of Baby Talk. Cheops had the most irritating way of speaking
imaginable, all "bzzt bleep bop widdle Help zzizzzip Princess".
They tried to explain the stupidity of speech by saying that he was a clone.

G Force has different, slightly better, voice talent, and a less insulting
conception, but the overall production is worse, and quite cheap.
This time they didn't add anything to replace all the removed violence,
so it is truly pointless.

Didn't someone mention a few days ago that the colonies are the major
source of food for the Gundam universe?  If so, I suspect the powers
that be would make sure the colonies were rad-shielded.  And if the
colonies are so flimsy, why build them in the first place?  Just be
honest and kill off 60-70% of the human population.  Much, *much*
cheaper.  Or why not build one or two sturdier colonies and have all
the bigwigs live in it?

Doesn't sound too practical.  How does the company deal with deadbeats?
Shove 'em out the airlock?  I guess you could garnish the inhabitants' wages,
but that kind of implies that everyone on a colony works for the same
company (or subsidiaries thereof)....

I don't know if anyone has made this announcement already, but I'll just post
this to be sure...

There was quite a bit of enthusiasm about Miyu in this group in the past little
while.  Well, wouldn't you know it, it's being releassed in Japan again as a
2-disc box set.  The catch is, this time the LDs are mastered directly off the
negatives with D-2 transfering process.  I would assume that the video quality
of the box set would blow away the individual discs and the subbed discs.  Just
to rub it in further, the box set comes with the soundtrack on a gold CD.  I have
had great experiences with the Urusei Yatsura Gold Discs, so I assume this
would also be a major improvement over the original presses of the soundtrack.
On top of all these, the set comes with a new box (illustrated by no other than
Kaginouchi Narumi), a full-colour pamphlet, and a telephone card.  All these
are going for a mere y15000 (appxly. $130 US). Dohohoho...

Yes, there are at least two.  There is one full length one, and a 5"
CD single with a remix of the main theme.  I can't get you the numbers
for them because they were lost/stolen/lent-and-never-returned.

Strangely enough, I found mine at Tower Records, Columbus & Bay in SF.
$27, but this was a while ago.  Maybe you can special order it from
Tower Berk.

It's a wonderful soundtrack, and well worth the price.

I really like the composer (Wada Kaoru)'s use of French Horn throughout
the soundtrack.  The French Horn has this nice mellow and sentimental
feeling to it.  As for "Pai -Longing-", I listened to that track over
and over again, and it's just so nice.  It only occured to me a little
while ago that the woodwind that starts the second index of that track
seems to be an Oriental flute as opposed to a conventional flute.  That
adds a further shades of melancholy to the sound.

Chapter Two only contains 2 BGMs.  Other than those 2, it also contains
4 image instrumentals and 4 image vocals.

I am still evaluating Chapter Three, and I'll post more on that later.

Actually, Reba West might just do a good job as "Pai", seeing that
Pai is pretty emptyheaded and simple.  She'd be terrible as
Sanjiyan, though...

Maybe Carl Macek will use two voices for Pai/Sanjiyan...
