Just from my experience:  I have never found a JPEG viewer that will give
decent results with anything less than Super-VGA.  If you have ordinary
VGA, I would suggest getting ahold of programs that convert between GIF
and JPEG.

And if anyone _does_ know of a decent JPEG viewer for VGA, could they let
me know?  :)

Really?  That's news to me.  Maybe you're thinking of a different DP

I got my Eden CD from Books Nippan, and it is also listed in the Laser

Ashitahe Free Kick is a soccer TV anime.  It is totally different from
the stupid kid's soccer anime of the past (like Captain Tsubasa).
There are many soccer scenes, but the story is about Shun and his

The animation is done by the same company that did Borgman,
Machine Robo, Leina, etc..

Don't know the others..

Although, this 'ain't anime, there have been enough good reviews
about this series to perk my interest.

Alas, I promised to do some major taping for a friend on the Saturday
(on a borrowed VCR) that the introductory special airs, and I have
classes during the 4:30-5PM daily time slot that it will be on.

So I ask: Is anyone out there taping the Saturday special & normal
weekday shows of Batman?  'Cause I'd love to get a copy, if not just to
see what all the hoopla's about.  I'd be more than willing to pay for
tape and postage.  Drop me an E-Mail line....

Well, the first day of the PSU organisational fair is over, and PSSFS did
pretty well. We had a VCR set up and were showing fan-subbed stuff all day.
Mostly favorable reaction, although we occasionally got a bemused "oh, my,
otakus" look from someone walking towards the Asian-American Student
Organisation Coalition table. Interesting placement, tho. Right inbetween the
campus chapter of NORML and a Cathloc graduate association with *very*
prominent dead fetus posters. Hey, maybe they'll get together to protest the
aborting of pot-smoking zygotes. :)
Got a number of people interested in seeing public anime showings, maybe that
weekly dorm tv room thing will work out.

Trivia Question: There is a clip of animation from the movie stuck on my copy
of Time Stranger set to that ELO tune that they used in Daicon IV. Who did
this, the original production team or somebody in the States?

I assume this is for a used Genlock?  

I was flipping through the AmigaWorld Special Video & Animation and
they had reviews of genlocks.  Two Genlock's struck me as both
inexpensive and well-received.  They were the Minigen by Progressive
Peripherals and the After Image by The Disc Company.

Has anyone used these or other Genlocks and have any comments they
wish to make?  Email me and I'll summarize to the net.  Thanks!

Several reasons:

- For locally-produced tapes, the price has to be higher because the market
  for anime is so small.  A quick lesson in economics:

	There are two factors involved in the costs of manufacturingg
	any product:  fixed costs and variable costs.  Fixed costs are
	those one-shot costs incurred in creating the product:  paying
	royalties, cover art design, getting a video master done, etc.
	The variable costs are the costs incurred on every package:
	putting the anime on the tape, printing the tape covers, etc.
	The variable costs are added to every tape sold.  The fixed costs
	can be amortized between all the copies sold.  This means that
	each copy sold accounts for a fraction of the fixed costs.
	of course, the more copies you sell, the less fixed costs you
	have to pay per copy, and the cheaper the total price can be.

  You can make a million cheap copies of TOP GUN and
  sell them at your local supermarket, but that's only because there is a
  BIG market for those movies.  The anime market in the US is MUCH smaller,
  so companies have to charge more per tape to cover their fixed costs
  (especially royalties to the Japanese owner of the anime).

  The good thing is that as the anime market increases (and right now
  it is), anime prices are going to go down.  Already Streamline is
  offering AKIRA at $30, and AnimEigo is offering the HURRICANE LIVE
  video at $20.

- For imported anime, there's two problems:
  - Nowadays, the dollar is very weak with respect to the yen (about half
    of what it was some years ago).
  - You're literally importing things from the other side of the world,
    and the distributor adds that to his cost.

- There are some people who DO try to rip off anime fans.  We post here,
  complain about it, and boycott their business.

<gag> <sputter>  Fifty bucks?!
You're being seriously ripped off.  The SRP is $39.95, and some places
(like Tower Records) sell anime at discount.

As to the quality of MADOX-01, that's another story (yeah, it's bad... B-) )

Unless you saw it INCREDIBLY recently, you didn't see the version the reviewer
is talking about.  It has (apparently) just started in Japan (considering
it appeared in Newtype for the last couple of months under "New Movies" 8-).

At least now I know what anime that is.  I could decode "Merosu" - Melos -
from the katakana but nothing else...

I'll say this in his defense. All the things I want to subtitle don't have
scripts.  Karula Mau for example.  There is a lot of the more "fringe" material
that I would like to see subtitled but lack there isn't the interest in
