---REPOST, because I seem to always miss people who really want to
buy these fine products..

As the subject says, I'm selling Iczer-3 OVA LD's..

Iczer-3 (vol 3 -6)  $28 for each; $112 for all 4 Ld's.

If anyone is an Iczer fan, and doesn't have this set, maybe you should
consider; Priority goes first to those who want to buy ALL the LD's.

Thanks, and reply soon!

   I would also guess it was Sylia's doing... when she was eight years old.
These sound like Calvin & Hobbes bylaws that haven't been changed since
grade school.  What's Sylia's official position?  Supreme potentate and

   It would make an interesting story if the Knight Sabres actually had to
inflict the ultimate penalty on one of their own for a breach of one of the

_AKIRA_ came out fairly recently (1990, I think)...*definitely* well
past the "Mighty Orbots".  It was a landmark film in many ways...
...particularly in the way voices were done (animation was synced
to the voices), and the *quality* of the animation itself.

I disagree that _AKIRA_ has the standard anime/manga character design.
IMHO, _AKIRA_ has one of the most realistic character designs that
I've seen in anime.  The characters aren't perfectly human, but they
appear more human than anime characters from other features...

The plot though...hmmm, better not say anything...we have enough
flame wars as it is... :-)

Anime and HDTV. 
First HDTV is only boardcast by NHK (equivalent to ABC (Aus), NBC (US)). 
It will take quite sometimes for all TV stations to broadcast in HD. Also
an HDTV currently cost over 1,000,000 Yen.
(How many consumers can afford that ?).
And from an recent article on HI-VI (an Japanese Video Mag), the Boss from
Pioneer said less than 20 % of the Japanese Population own an LD player.

All, these mean it will take a long time (few years at least) for Anime to
be release on to HD. Beside, the Japanese & CE manufacturer  aren't even sure
they will stay with their current MUSE HDTV technology. If the US or European
system take off (an provided they are successful and better), the Japanese 
would probably license it. 

So, I really wouldn't worry about Anime release on HDTV yet, just think, most
people in Japan can't watch it either.

   Not at all. There's NEVER anything wrong with asking questions. Nobody can
hope to know everything, so asking questions is something to get used to.
There's no need to feel self-conscious, after all, because how will you become
one of those "great" otakus without finding out what's going on.
   and if they flame you for not knowing about it, then you probably don't want
to hang around with them. I find it very hard to be impressed with people who
are so big on themselves and what they know that they attack other for not

To Whom It May Concern,

As of today (9-12-92), James Matsuzaki and most of his staff 
have resigned from Anime Expo '93.

James Matsuzaki cites interferance from Mike Tatsugawa as 
his reason for resigning. Specifically, James resigned because
(1) MT would not allow  James to select his own staff without 
harrassment and interference, (2) MT signed a binding contract 
with the Oakland Parc Hotel while negotiations for the consolodated 
convention were underway, in violation of his pledge at the first
meeting.  He then lied about whether or not the contract had a
cancellation clause (well,  to be honest, he may not have been 
experienced
enough in contract negotiation to know exactly what the contract 
said. I'm not sure which is the worse case; an honest but incompetent 
mistake, or lying during good-faith negotiations). He refused to 
let James set up either an offical address or a separate bank account 
from the SPJA to handle AE '93 finances (which are not and should 
not be the same thing as the corporation finances). All of the 
objections above we have him on tape, in public record, during the 
negotiations during Animecon '93 and Anime Expo '93 pledging NOT 
to do; when he and I (as chairman of Animecon '93) negotiated our 
settlement with a neutral chairman, we BOTH agreed that we would allow
whichever chairman we agreed upon the power of financial control, of 
hotel negotiation, of staff selection, etc.

MT also failed to gain the approval (and even failed to NOTIFY) of 
the Board of Directors of the SPJA (of which James used to be one) 
for the aforementioned contract.

Subsequent to James' resignation, many staff members resigned in 
disgust with the actions of Mike Tatsugawa and the SPJA.

Myself included. This concludes my last semi-official statement as 
a member of staff of Anime Expo '93. 

I will, however, remain active in this area to discuss the situation 
and answer questions. However, I am in NO WAY affiliated with AE '93, 
and may not make statements of policy, etc., ad nauseaum. All of my 
subsequent posts here will be my personal opinion.

Organization: Nyx, Public Access Unix @ U. of Denver Math/CS dept.
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 92 23:49:31 GMT


As a fan of Megazone 23 (I have part I (recently acquired) and part II),
I have a couple of questions.  The first one concerns Megazone 23 part II.

I know that when Carl Macek made Robotech: The Movie, he commissioned 5
additional minutes of animation from the original studio (because
apparently
Americans don't like unhappy endings), and tacked this animation onto the
beginning of part II as "a present."  Well, the ending of part II is a
bit, well, less than believeable.  I refer to the part at the end where
all the members of the Trash gang who we saw get shot up by machine guns,
blown up, crashed off their bikes, et cetera, suddenly appear covered
with bandages.  (A friend I was watching the movie with started screaming,
"NOT!  NOT!  NOT!" when it came to this part, and then pulled out the
toy disc gun we'd been playing "Gotcha" with and proceeded to empty the 
magazine at the TV screen.
)
So, did Carl have extra footage animated for the english-language version
of Megazone 23 Part II when he dubbed it, since "Americans don't like un-
happy endings?"  The notion that the Japanese themselves put this ending
on,
when compared to the ending on Part I (which contrasts greatly with
that of Part II) seems a little...far-fetched, to say the least.

My second question is about Megazone 23 Part III.  What is this movie
about?  I've heard tantalizing snippets about it--such as the protagonist
finds the shot-up Garland prototype where Yahagi Shogo left it in the
end of Part I; and the bad guy is Yahagi Shogo himself--but I'd kind
of like to know more.  Not necessarily spoilers, but the kind of de-
scription one might get from TV guide.  Basically, what is the setting,
who are the main characters, what is the point of the story, etc.

And is it available dubbed or subbed, from fans or a company?

Thanks!

Animators are the lowest payed human beings in Japan. The monthly
income of animators is usually less than $1500. Key animators
(elites among animators) get more than $2000 but you have to be in
the field for at least 4-5 years to become one (but again, only few
people can actually become key animators). To put it simply,
Japanese anime industry is in REAL bad shape.

That's why many animators and screenplay writers switch their careers to
manga artist and novelists. Just think about how many talented
people left the animation field. Hirano Toshihiro, Kakinouchi
Narumi, Yasuhiko Yoshikazu, etc.

I hear that the NET cost was something like 12 million dollars.
Anyway, it's very unlikely that they'll make an anime movie that's
more expensive than AKIRA. It's just not economical to make movies
that cost more than $12 million when even the Miyazaki movies ONLY 
make about $20 million at the box office.
