Actually, does anyone know who's pressing the boxed set? I'm interested
in getting it, but not if it's pressed by the same company that did the
KOR boxed set. :)

Subject: In the works - Dagger of Kamui Script, v1.0
Date: 28 Sep 92 04:42:20 GMT
To: "Origin of LISTS.ANIME-L" <anime-l@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU>


    Notice:  This posting is NOT intended to discourage anyone from using
Script: Dagger of Kamui v0.01a for aid in Japanese or in subtitling.
(The script I posted a while back was actually designed to encourage
subtitlers.  Who knows: maybe it worked?  :)

    Anyways, I've decided to become one of those irritating perfectionists
and to revise for the following reasons:
a) script isn't incredibly reader-friendly
b) not all songs and beginning credits are subtitled
c) previous translator was more interested in his girlfriend in Japan
   than in hacking out 20 million possible translations of a sentence.

    So basically, I've got a new translator to go over the previous script.
He's a 100% certified Otaku, so hopefully a better script would be coming
forth.

    This is another many month project, so please don't expect it out by the
end of this week or something.  The old script is pretty good for most
intensive purposes.

BTW, the translator would very much like to translate
Dirty Pair: Flight 005 Conspiracy after Kamui is finished.  Is there any
interest in such a script or would I piss people off (Since it is a
sterling Macek product) if a script was done and posted?

As with the Best Anime Song poll before, Wada Kanako's sentimental
melodies always top the charts.  Here are the lyrics to the end theme
to the KOR final movie "Ano hi ni kaeritai" (I want to return to that
day) in romaji with an English translation, followed by the lyrics in
Japanese Industrial Standard codes with ESC replaced by "^[".

Ano sora wo dakishimete (Embrace that sky) - Wada Kanako

Yes. As the original poster mentioned, this spell is very commonly
used among Japanese mystics (both Buddhism and Shinto) and
frequently appears in occult/ninja/history manga and anime.

It originally came from a Taoist spell but it was slightly modified
when it came to Japan.

Chan-san, as Inspector Clouseau would say "I knew that, I knew that."
I was scanning KOR manga covers back when Bush was only a VP.
At the AnimEigo table at AnimExpo, we proudly ran and re-ran and re-re-
ran our first KOR video; they always came back for more. "Madoka till
you choke-a" was the motto of the day (yes, I know that it doesn't rhyme
in Japanese). What I wanted to know is, what does the kanji in Madoka
Ayukawa mean? Someone earlier said that "ayu" was kind of Japanese trout
and "kawa" meant brrok or river (well, I knew that one). But what about
"Madoka?"

Just when you thought there was nothing more to find out about KOR...

Oops!! Sorry that I wasn't making myself clear enough He= Kyousuke (i.e.
the male lead..) I agree Akane is most definitely female. I mean
she sorta went out of her way to make his life a mess just because he
has the hots for Madoka and seems to be indifferent about there being
another girl ( whose name escapes me right now, gomen nasai) who
is head over heels for him.  Then again, her devotion to her
"darling" is right up there with those school girl crushes that
girls usually get fofr celebrities. I guess that would be
very unsettling for a guy his age.

Time to rent the next volume...

This must be Copyright Flamewar Week, there's one going on over
on rec.arts.sf.written about fanzines vs. pro authors.

Y'know, when I posted that list, what I *hoped* would happen
was that other people would post what *they* would do, given
a clucomp.  Silly me...

Anyway, I'd just like to point out that:  1)The idea of that list
being an "expansion" of the UF universe makes me go "huh?"  People-
it was a <joke>.  And, 2)I've said *in* *print* (electronic print,
anyway) that I should have included the source of the "clucomp"
idea.

But the rumor (OK, this IS a rumor) says that the new series will take
place RIGHT after 0083. Maybe Bandai got smart and decided to switch
from F-91 to 0083/Z storyline. :)

Well it's kinda like the normal High school outfit (ala Tendou Akane's 
outfit) that has 2 parts:  the shirt w/ puffy sleeves and jumpsuit.

Furikan Koo Koo has that normal jumpsuit style outfit with the puffy 
sleeved shirt and the jumpsuit like dress that covers up to your chest.
The Anna Millers outfit is similar, except that the jumpsuit part is 
different in the front.

Basically they've made it so that the waitress's breasts hang OUT and 
OVER the jumpsuit, between the two suspenders that support the jumpsuit.  
The effect is subtly nice.

(I hope you could understand my description..  hard to explain).
(Don't quote me here..  last time I went was about a year+ ago).

	Kasumi LACKS a clue?! Na Ni, how dare anyone insult my Godess :-)
Jokes aside, you must remember that Kasumi is not STUDIP. She is just play
the traditional Japanese lady/mother role. Remember Kasumi's mother die when
she is very young. ~7th or 8th grade. We realizes this because we see that
the clearest memoery Akane have above her mother is at early elementry
school. She die shortly after that. This occures at the eps. regarding
Ranma's mother. Kasumi is force to take up the role of mother to her two
younger sisters and carry the responsiblity. Going to market, greet guests,
attent community meetings(?) ect. She would not fare well if she acts like
Akane or any other female characters. She KNOWS what is going on but wisely
decide to play her role as a tradition female role partly for other people's
expectation and partially as a role model for Akane the Tomboy. (Least Akane
become "unmarriable", -Ranma's own word)

	Just to add to the point. Who in Ranma 1/2 is more intelligent or
more educated than Kasumi? (Recall that she studys the books she borrows from
To-fu sensi. We don't see anyone else studying much in the series.) Nabiki
is "street smart" but she probably fare badly when it comes to serious
studying. Other characters are all fist and weapon and lacks intelligence.
Maybe intelligence is the wrong word. Perhaps wisdom is a better choice of
word. (Oh, no. AD&D addiction attacks again :-)   But as we know people who
are wiser study more and get better grades in college and intelligence seems
to be the term describing these people.
