Lemme get this straight....there is going to be a SNES (as opposed to the
Super Famicom) version of the new Ranma 1/2 game, that was released on
3/27, for 8,800 yen?  When?  Where?  How?  How much? :)

Ja ne,

Hello,
        I'm having problem trying to FTP Anime scripts through the Bitnet FTP
server at PUCC. Most of the files at the various FTP sites are compressed with
a .Z postfix. Is there a way I can decompress these files on my VAX/VMS
system ? What is the proper command, and do I have to meddle around with FDL
and all that ? Please reply via email.

        I am in the process of setting up an animation club here in my
university, hence the need to gather a library of scripts and other material.
Any help, advice etc. on setting up a Japanese animation club will be most
certainly welcome.

Thanks,

Chun Li?  Cuddly?  You've never seen her in action then, espically when
she starts jumping on the other characters head.  It's incredibly annoying!
(for her opponent.)  Check out Street Fighter II, Chamionship Edition.
Both players can play Chun Li at the same time.  The throwing matches can
get pretty interesting...

Now all I have to do is find an arcade game with the action and complexity
of Street Fighter II, and is as easy to win as Richard's game.  Sigh...
(Note: in Championship edition, most of the characters are MUCH improved.
Bison is even harder to beat than before...)

Maybe they could make an anime series from Street Fighter II?....Nah.

Use "shinma" and footnote it, explaining what a  "shinma" is.

Don't expect there to be an exact english equivalent to everything in
Japanese because there won't be.  But then I assume you already knew
that.... :)

Get the Robotech Role-Playing Game books.  Very precise information,  
gleaned in most cases from books, etc. put out with the original anime
serieses.  Tells speeds, alt. ceilings, etc. (for example, the Beta
fighter has a maximum speed of Mach 8.3) of all the mecha seen in the
series, and some that are blink-and-you-missed-it (Southern Cross
battloids,
E.B.S.I.S. battloids, etc.).  I have all 13 books and supplements.  They're
available from Palladium Books...so are the tapes, in fact.

Eh? "Weirdest color" doesn't necessarily mean we don't like it... I
(sort of) like pink, and I voted for Catty's as weirdest color. How
about a "coolest" hair color category?

For me, it'd be a toss-up between green and blue (Miriya Parino and
Quess being the respective candidates)...

Well, with the original article distribution being north america, it might
not have gotten through to RW in Japan.  

When the KOR announcement was made, Robert suggested that the
I Was a Fish, Then a Cat / Hurricane Akane  OVA's would be the first tape
releeased.  I have only seen those two and the Unexpected Situation/Message in
Rouge   set, and I think the Cat&Fish/Hurricane Akane tape is the best 
choice to be released first.  Whether plans have changed in the intervening
few weeks, I don't know.  Robert?

Has Takami Mako's `Itoshi no ERI-' ever made it to anime?  This is a series
that was in Young Jump Comics starting around 1983/84.  The theme is of a high
school kid (Ueno Shinpei) who has an affair with his teacher (Kushida Eriko).
Needless to say, there's another girl (Tonarino Miyoko) chasing after Shinpei
and a fellow teacher (Manako-kun) chasing after Eri-.  It's a rather
outrageous story with lots of laughs...

Now that I think back on the movie, the animation quality was just spectacular,
especially the ballroom sequence (someone's making good use of computers!).

However, there weren't any non-childish themes in this film.  Besides vocabulary
that could rank as junior high school level (speech needs to be up to date with
the times, else risk audience alienation), everything else unfortunately falls
into the all-too-familiar Disney stereotype.  But these arguements, and many
more, can be found on your local rec.arts.animation newsgroup.  What gives with
this missing parent syndrome?!

Speaking of parents, does anyone know about Ranma's and Akane's mothers' fates?

That was supposed to create a "legendary" feel toward the battle (as it
might have been described to the people of earth when the forces returned).
I might be wrong here though...

Oh, if I didn't mention it before, I liked Gunbuster (minus the little

There are some animate stores near Osaka.
 Kyobashi 06-352-8864.
 Higashi Osaka 06-729-3227.
 (never been there)
There is also an animate store in Kyoto 075-252-1460.
 (it's near the "center" of Kyoto on Shijou)

Also you can buy anime videos at just about any CD store in Japan.
You can buy manga at any bookstore in Japan.
Anime and manga aren't things that you have to go to special
stores to buy.

Another thing, just watch TV.  There is more than enough anime on TV.
The Osaka area has a lot of reruns.
