First of all, I said I would not run one....in my book, helping, or 
signing on as staff does not constitute "running one". 

Second, your opinion of me probably helps my reputation in some circles; 
your posts are not, IMO, known for their rational, well-considered 
content.

Kasuga Kyosuke is the main character from the manga and anime
series "Kimagure Orange Road".  (KOR)

The OAVs and movie to the KOR series are being released domestically
by AnimEigo.  The manga should be available at many Japanese
Bookstores  and manga translations for many of the volumes are
available at various ftp sites.  (There were a few recently posted by
Enrique Conty)

Well, this is all IMHO, and off the top of my head...

a)  She's a vampire, and probably thirsty
b)  Himiko-chan is terrified
c)  Whether or not she grants immortality at the time, Vampires tend to be
    able to soothe their victims into calmness/unconsciousness/whatever
d)  Answer?  Bite the little girl.  She'll pass out or at least be calmed.
    And, given Miyu's powers, Miyu could make Himiko forget it, or think it
    was just a dream.

_Princess Moon_ wouldn't be the song that I heard during the fight

...maybe it'll work better as an ED than as BGM... :-)

	Sorry about the last article. I was talking to someone while typing
it up. (It was suspended five times before I finished it.)

	I think in order to understand and appreciate Rumiko Takahashi's
work, it is necessary to look into the belief and the backgroup her
animation is based on. A Japanese asscoiate once tell me that she thinks
Rumiko knows what a man's heart and she know how to pleases them. I
certainly believe that. She is not try to reach the U.S. audience.(Sadly)
Japanese people simply have different conception on issues. Does not man
gather and brag about how many woman they have in the last week in the bar?
They are pretending and putting up a front so they can enjoy social
acceptance. Tendo Kasumi might be strange to this soeciety but not ones
across the ocean. After all, it is culture diversity that attract many
people to anime. (and no I don't mean the Han-ti part :-)  Look not to the
surface but to the heart and a new world will be open to those who open up
their mind.

It's on the first Silent Mobius CD, VICL-178.  Silent Mobius 2 CD has a
more conventional pop song.  Operation X has subtitled version of Silent
Mobius.

Sea Wasp -
 
Your Fist of the North Star review was right on target.  I was ROFL.
However, you forgot the scene where the guy is buried up to his neck,
and one of the Huge Oafish Guys hands Rei a big saw and says, "You
have the honor of decapitating him."  Rei, of course, sticks the blade
right through said Oafish Guy's skull,  and the guy looks up and says,
"Hey, I meant the guy down there." <Then dies.>
 
That was hysterical.  >:)

Is that by number of postings or by the total size of the postings?
BTW, are those the same statistics that say that alt.manga has about two

Let me put it this way:  I don't mind a split, if it is feasible and good
(see my posting of about a week ago).  If you suggest a split I like, I'll
support it.

Actually that is probably for the best. Most of the scuttlebutt we heard in
reg was that Lea was being a royal pain in the ass and that Mike had already
contorted himself into strange yogic positions trying to placate her demands
on the Con and its staff. I did not keep track but there were some rather
dubious guest badges printed up and I remember Theresa mumbling something
about Lea getting what she wanted.

That I'll definitely agree with. I can understand why Mike might not have been
personally able to do so at the time, but it still doesn't excuse it. It is
unfortunate that few conventions (maybe none!) are able to go by without this
sort of incident happening at least once. sigh

The BIX conversation was in November of 1989, and focused more on Streamline
and Jerry Beck than anything else.  Either Jim Omura or myself - I forget
which - asked him about the Robotech movie and the story behind it, and he
told us.  He said (with no prompting, I might add) that the final result
was pretty bad.  This was before I'd mentioned that I'd seen the movie.  I
have to admit I was surprised by his openness; I have a hard time talking
about any project I'm involved in that doesn't work out right.

In a previous article, wyvern@agora.rain.com (Long haired freaky person) says:

>(Why is there so much fanfic based on the Dirty Pair?  Why is it being posted
>now?)

The answer to the first question is twofold:
a) they're very popular
b) they're fairly easy to write.

I mean, think about it.  DP is episodic for the most part, which means
that you don't have to go into any trouble to fit your story into continuity.
There are three versions, novels, anime, and comics, none of which match, so
readers tend to forgive personal inventions like my having Yuri talk about
her grandfather, since they've seen the Pair redefined so many times before.
You have a wonderful pair of opposites, Kei the muscle, Yuri the brain.
Need to throw a wrench into the works?  Have Kei get trigger-happy.  Need
to explain something to the readers?  Have Yuri explain it to Kei.  Plus, 
they live in a big galaxy with 3000 worlds, so any plot you can possibly
dream up can be accomodated.  DP is wonderful.  I could write it forever.

As for why now, I dunno.  Was I the one who started all this craziness
1 1/2 years ago?  I only began reading r.a.a a little before I posted my
first story.

     Does anyone know what the Dragonfist anime is about?  I'm hoping

like to know either way.  Thanks.

Brian.
