Actually, you're wrong here. That's a popular misconception. I asked
Sonoda this over breakfast last year, and he said there were NO plans
to kill off Priss at any point. (Maybe change voice actresses, but
Priss was not going to be killed.)

Frankly, I would have preferred if they'd gotten a new character for
Crash instead of ripping out Priss' metaphorical vocal chords and
sticking in that fake voice actress (urgh).

Really? I think the end of BGC 7 really showed us how "good" Vision
would have been. Linna slapping her was a classic (I just wish she'd
used her "suited" arm). :)

 > =>This is all my own opinion

But of course. :) I think Celia is a stuck-up lush snob, but that's MY
opinion.

(Excuse me for changing "Savers" back to "Sabers", but I just can't
stand it. :)

Yeah, but remember who is doing the talking.  Imagine someone like
Katie from the "Benson" sitcom spouting the above in *her* cutest
voice.

Tell me that you could take that seriously... :-)

[For those who don't know, Katie is the young daughter of the Governer
 in "Benson".  I guess that she was even younger than Usagi-chan.  You
 know the type...cute and blond... :-)]

The Delaz Fleet had extremely limited resources. The Dra-Cs were

It's clear on the back with the picture of Deedrit on the CD showing.  
It's a nice design but a little confusing though! :)  It only comes with

Actually, Himiko-san usually used the Japanese word: Kyukesuki (sp?).  Miyu
was the one who kept using 'vampire.'  I think maybe because she wasn't
much like the traditional kyukesuki (whatever that is: I don't know much
Japanese mythology) and didn't want THOSE connotations associated with her.

>Is there vampires in Japanese Mythology, or is Miyu basically a westernized
>vampire tale with some Japanese mythology elements mixed in?  

Well, I'm pretty sure that the Japanese have their own vampire myths, but
Miyu DID seem like a westernized vampire: note the cross and holy water
Himiko tried to use.

Same here.
But for their subtitled stuff that sometimes gets toured in theaters ...
I've got to admit, I enjoyed them.  The titling isn't par with the video jobs
of say, AnimEigo.  But they're about the same as other "art" films I've seen.
So, I'd pay to see again the subbed versions of Robot Carnival, Twilight of
the Cockroaches, or Castle of Cagliostro on the big screen.

On a different, positive note, many have already said good stuff about the
Vampire Princess Miyu subs.  Let me add that it also has a great soundtrack
with *really* nice surround seperation (the wind sounds faked me out enough
to look out the window).

Well, the only few places I've seen your tapes being sold, they'd been
selling for roughly $52 each.  (I wonder how many times they change
hands before they get sold to the private sector?)

I suppose so, but it's so much easier ordering directly from AnimEigo.
I've almost always ordered directly.  On some occasions, I received my
copies before the stores did. 8)  (And the service is great...)
(Except the Miyu LD, which somehow took almost an extra month... ?!?)
Next thing to get is the Kimagure Orange Road OVA/Movie LDs *when*
AnimEigo puts them out.  (Gotta think positive. 8)

  Hmm.. I don't know that much about Chinese mythology, but a Chinese friend
of mine (who is looking over my shoulder) said that she knew of no real
equivelent to Vampires. It seems that they combine ghosts and vampires into
one creature, and call it "Shi Shui Quei" (= Blood Sucking Ghost). The also
said that having your dearly departed buried by a "Shonky feng shui" man was
a good thing. Now maybe she misunderstood the comment, so are there any
bi-lingual chinese people who want to clarify this point a bit?

Yes, it seems so stupid at first, why don't American cartoon

for anime, or quality animation !!
It's so STUPID. Looking at today's audience, I would
predict that anyone creating quality American animation
like anime could create LOTS of $$$, but NOBODY seems
enlightened or even interested !
LOOK at what happened to Beauty & the Beast, there IS
a demand for mature animation !

I think that if somebody could get through to the producers of
cartoons about the current status of anime, they'd probably
beef up their animation.

Maybe one problem is that there are NO graphic artists
that is capable enough of making anime-quality graphics.
There WILL be, IF anyone would hire them.

>This is a question only answerable by philosophers and network

Then why don't they answer ???
I'm really dying for an answer !
It seems that this is because we never asked.
Maybe someone should write them a letter representing
rec.arts.anime, to me it is most likely that anime is
just another paper on their stacks, so they don't realize
the great potential audience of anime is so high.

Maybe we could do a letter interview, it's unlikely
they ever read Usenet news.

Maybe also a letter to Disney inquiring about why they don't
do adult animation.

All I've seen on the net is SPECULATIONS, but NO REAL FACTS.
It would be real interesting to see if anyone has such
information & statistics available.

Looking from today's viewers, anime could be the next hot
hit.
