SUBJECT:  Disturbing Tendancies of Sexaroids

	The new series of Sexaroid Boomers that have begun production require
human blood to operate correctly.  We at R&D believe the more human the boomer,
the more pleasurable the experience.  Unfortunately, if they are not kept 
supplied with human blood, they will begin exhibiting vampiric tendancies 
in an effort to sustain themselves.  The gentlemen at PR have assured us that
GENOM will have no problem integrating these boomers into the already accepted
Sexaroid line.  However, for your employee's well being, we suggest that all
end line staff be equiped with a garlic necklace.

In short, they used human blood.  Every now and then, they needed to renew their
supply of human blood, and if none was readily available (GENOM bloodbank?), 
then problems arose (a la  Shilvie draining blood for herself and Anri).  This
is why they were on the Satellite to begin with.  They were exiled there as 
boomers that used human blood were outlawed.

Actually, I believe Matchbox was the toy sponsor which pulled out of
The Sentinels.  In Robotech Art 3, Macek blamed it on the plummeting
value of the American dollar at that time.
 
Another interesting thing Macek does is RA3 is accuse Tatsunoko of
intentionally spending more time on the new characters (while ignoring
established ones from the original series), in order to air the show
in Japan.
 
I take it The Sentinels never aired in Japan.  It's not technically
anime, then, is it?

Ok, being a gamer and avid reader of "Electronic Gaming Monthly" and "Super
Play" (which is about Japanese games), I'll give you my expert opinions. :)

There is a complete list of anime video games out, which I'm sure someone will
post here in response to you, so I won't do that.  But here's a run down on the
systems:

Japanese Name        American Name
-------------        -------------
   ???               Sega Master System
  Famicom            Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
Super Famicom        Super Nintendo Enertainment System (S-NES, or "Sness" :)
Mega Drive           Sega Genesis
PC Engine            TurboGrafx-16

The PC Engine probably has the most anime games, but they are (primarily) on
CD, and most are on Super CD, which uses a bigger RAM system card.  PC Engine
and Turbo CD games are compatible, but you will need the system upgrade to play
SCD games, though the TurboDuo (Basically a TurboGRafx attached to a Super
CD-ROM drive) is coming to America "soon"

If you want the best games, I reccomend SCD.  It is awesome. (I don't own one,
but have seen it.)

There are Ranma 1/2 games for Super Famicom/SNES and SCD, a couple of different
versions, actually.  There is (are?  how many?  I'm not sure.) a Yamato game(s)
but I don't know for what system.  It's in the video game resource list I
mentioned at the start of this post, so I'm sure you'll see that soon.  Hoppe
that helped.

I was wondering how much mark-up there is between AnimEigo and the
local distributors... Even if it isn't as much as the above, it would
still be a lot better for us to order tapes directly from AnimEigo than
to go through a "shop", simply because AnimEigo gets a greater
kick-back, and can then go for more titles quicker (if enough people do
it, they may even be able to pick up a couple real "biggies" <nudge>).

Nani?  I was unaware I had flamed anyone/thing.  I was stating one of the
facts that bubble up from time to time out of the morass of useless information
my brain stores away for me--specifically, the thing about Russian surnames.

The connection from there to Nene was obvious, and I guess I didn't say it
right, but I think it's a cool coincidence..._or is it_?  :-)

Making Nene a scion of the house of Romanov just makes her that much cooler
in my view.  :-)

I didn't follow the first part of this (which two peoples?), but I agree with
the sentiment of the last part.  Cyberpunk universes, for all their other 
problems, seem to have a decent hold on battling nationalistic and racial
prejudice.  It's just the cyberware vs. whole earth battle that's focused on

Cool...I can't wait to see this, having missed it when it first came out in

It seems to me that the greatest problem with this whole dubbing discrepancy is the level of ACTING that is actually realized. 

Whilst enroute to Nihon, I was treated to a showing of Kurenai No Buta (The Krimson Pig). This particular version had both English and Japanese soundtracks. 

However, it became very clear to me in a short time that the English translation was mediocre and the dubbing remarkably emotionless and bland. For this reason, together with my bilingual assets, I decided to make use of the Japanese soundtrack. 

I thought, then as now, that there was a heavy preferance of cost over tallent that was used in the selection of the voice-actors of that production. 

Later on, in Hong Kong ('back home'), I had the MISFORTUNE to watch some bits of a English-translated and dubbed version of Tonari No Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro). The acting level was a bit better (say about 5%), but what really appalled me was the translation. This translation effectively tore the whole fabric of the story to pieces. When I had watched it in Japanese, there had been such richness of culture and childhood. Yet, there was nothing but condesending lines and horribly mundane/purile plot. It w

as truely revolting!

I actually find myself in disfavor of dubbing. Dubbing is essentially harder to do a good job of. Especially when we are in an A-V world which is often stereo and sometimes surround-sound. It seems that the Japanese have put a lot more effort into thier origional works than others have put into thier (the japanese) works. 

I am also of the oppinion that sub-titling does more to encourage literacy than does dubbing.

As of now, all the free stuffs have found new owners.  So don't mail
me with request anymore, thank you.  Gee, I was really surprised by
number of responses I got in just one day...  Hmm, now I know where
to 'get rid' of the stuffs I have in the closet for a long time.

BTW, I also have some pictures from Ranma 1/2 1992 music calender,
does anybody wnat that?
