Have you ever noticed that almost all posts that have as their subject the
name of an anime feature and nothing else are one of the following?

-- Requests to explain what it is
-- Requests to explain what happened to it or if it will ever come back

  Dave Fleming expresses astonishment that the high quality of dubbing in 
  Sherlock Hound used a mere four voice actors, prompting this response from
  me (And Dave, I am not flaming you.  I share your astonishment, in truth.
  Your post just brought to the boiling point a Niggling Annoyance in the
  back of my head):

  It's a common thread in this news.group:  The original Japanese voice acting
  is *always* excellent, and the (insert English speaking country here) cannot
  do dubbing of anything to save their lives.

  So, explain the numerous Disney films.  Nope, Americans just can't do that.
  Obviously.  And as for the four voice actors:  Anyone remember Mel Blanc,
  and how he was the voice of damn near *every* Warner Brothers character for
  twenty years?

  Now, on a slightly less sarcastic note:  Folks, please do keep in mind that
  there are lousy Japanese voice actors out there and not everything America  
  (and everyone else) does is garbage.  The phrase "99% of anything is shit"
  applies equally well on either side of the Pacific.

  Thanks.

Regarding you reference to the "Lesbian love scene" in BGC...

Actually, what happened is that the 33S class Boomer needs blood to
repair itself.  What Slyvie was doing was giving Anri blood transfusions
from the people she killed.  Well, actually the 333S doesn't use blood, but
it can if it has to.  The disk that Sylvie gets supposedly has a formula so
that they don't need to kill for blood...

But, remember, they (Sylvie and Anri were sexaroids.....

The problem is that Americans get annoyed at animation where the mouth
movements and voice dubbing don't match.  I was watching THE GREAT MOUSE
DETECTIVE (hmm, another "Sherlock Holmes" cartoon, come to think of it)
and it was amazing how well the mouth movements and voice synched.  But
then, it is a Disney film...

Americans want their cartoons' voices and mouths to be synchronized.
Perhaps they've been spoiled by Disney, I dunno.  But one of the main 
criticisms I've heard of Robotech and other dubbed anime is that the
voice and movements don't match up.

Because it would be a neat, cool, boffo, fun thing to do!  Do we need anymore

I mean, by this argument, why should we give out awards to people who wear

they'd used ASTRO BOY for the anime.  :-) )

  I did bid on it, but lost.  (It was an advertisement for a graphic novel,

There are a lot of similarities (and I think what I am about to say is in the
FAQ but I dunno...

1) The general feel is the same...people going after out-of-control machines
2) There are several names in BGC taken from Blade Runner...the bigest being
   Priss... PRIS was the name of the female replicant with the white hair
   who hung around with the guy who was played by Larry from Newhart.  Also,
   her band is Priss and the Replicants.  Also, the name Leon McNickle(sp?)
   was in Blade Runner.

It's not just a conincidence...they are a lot of references from Blade Runner
in BGC...

Ever heard the terms "pseudonym" or "nom-de-plume".  That's what
"Masamune Shirow" is.  No, manga writing is not nearly as glamorous

Summary: My last words on this matter



Well, I just got back from my home back to my home away from home and was
told that certain individuals may have said certain things directed at me
some pleasant some not.  Considering that there are too many articles to
read at this stage I will say that this will be my last post in this matter.
(Good Riddance!)  I have posted only what I know about the areas.  I am a
native of San Jose and am familiar with the Great America section of 
San Jose.  I live near there, just as Greg Scanlon does (thought he lives
much closer).  I have attended WonderCon at the Oakland Convention Center
and have reported what I know is true and what I know is false.  15,000
people attend WonderCon over the three day Wonderful World of Comics 
Weekend in Oakland every year, many attendees are unattended young children.
I do not believe that all this squabbling will accomplish anything and it
is my firm belief after doing some research that both areas are comparable
in atmosphere with any other difference being in resources near by.  Having
never actually been inside the Westin I cannot comment how the Westin feels
on the inside.  I have however, seen the layout of the Westin and the layout
of the Parc Oakland and both convention centers and that the rooms in the
Westin SEEM smaller.  Whether this is true or not will be determined by 
the people working on the problem.  Defaming Oakland will accomplish nothing,
Making uninformed posts about a city will accomplish nothing if you have
not lived there or visited there on a regular basis. 
	If the hotel thread is not dead yet, I'd recommend it be put to rest.
I believe people on the net would rather listen about anime.
My last words on this topic is may there be the best convention there can.

My apologies for this waste of space.
I will not post on this topic again.  Please direct all questions to me
in email only.

Could someone tell me what the three animes were, and what they were really

Once again, the talk of an anime feature centered around the 1989
movement in Tiananmen Square arose from a "What anime would you like
              ^
to see?" thread.  Right now, there are no plans for this idea to make
