OK, so does that make the guy in the first OAV a vampire [a swinging
vampire?] as well?  Is it only the males that loose that spark of life?  Or
what???

Frankly I hate it when songs are subtitled, especially in the middle of
an episode (usually an action sequence, like in the early BGC
episodes). It's terrible disruptive to the action, and in some cases
ruins the mood if the lyrics are somewhat "silly". :)

Well the bookshop I go to airlifts stuff in (it is linked to an Overseas

Wait a sec.  We're forgetting some basic physics here.  We live in an
atmosphere that exerts about 14 lbs. /sq. in. on our bodies (correct me
if I'm wrong).  But when we're cut, we bleed.  Obviously, our precious
bodily fluids are running around at >14 lbs./sq. in.  Now, imagine
you're in a vacuum with no external protection per se ...
If there is any portion of your body that can't sustain the
14+lbs./sq. in. outward pressure, you're precious bodily fluids will
exit at that point.  That is, *BOOSH*, a broken bag of mostly water.

A friend of mine says that Shampoo was trying to speak in a
Shanghai dialect (supposedly she's from Shanghai, or so he tells me.)
Also, she seems to speak just as uniquely in Japanese as well.

Although the pronounciation seems to be pretty bad, it isn't as bad
as someone trying to speak Mandarin in one tone (ie, American style).

If the song in question, "hitomi no stardust" or "stardust eyes"
is "Cool Eyes", the ending theme to BGC! 1, it is indeed on the
BGC! 1 soundtrack, as the last(15?) track.  I assume from the
lyrics included that the Hitomi no stardust is what you heard and
assumed to be the name of the song.

There is a part of the song that goes

Hitomi no stardust (? don't have my cd with me)
Anata ga jiyuu utta kishimete ...

But the actual beginning to the chorus starts

Kanjiru Cool Eyes sonomama

So, check out the cd if "Cool Eyes" is what you want.  Hope this helps.

Organization: University of Massachusetts at Lowell Computer Science

A few weeks ago, I purchased a copy of the magazine "NewType", which contains
	a great deal of illustrations (unfortunately, I cannot read Japanese).
Recently, I have been watching a show called "Japan Today", in which they
	give a daily report on the exchange rate between dollars and yen.  At
	the present time, it is 120.55 yen/dollar.
When I checked the price on the cover of NewType with this new knowledge, I
	discovered that it was a mere Y500 (or $4.00 American).  However, I
	paid over $13.00 When I bought it at the store!
What is the deal?  What would cause a 200+% increase in the price between
	Japan and the U.S.?
Also, as a side note, is there any way to subscribe to a magazine like NewType
	for delivery in the U.S. and, if so, what would the rate be and would
	there be a problem with delivery?
If you have the answers to any of these burning questions, please send me a
	response or post one up.  I appreciate it.

Then I guess my next question is why USR hasn't been promoting it?
Until Mike's post yesterday I hadn't heard anything about it and
except for some dealer room chatter at the Expo (which I took as
rumor, silly me) there's been no mention of it anywhere (not even in
USR's topic on GEnie, although I could have missed it there.)

Answered in order:

  1) 26 episodes have been shown thus far.  "Sailor Moon" is currently
      in the middle of a 3 week hiatus and will be back next week,
      I believe.

  2) Yes, it is still running in Japan.

  3) There were some synopsis for episodes 20-26 written by Hitoshi
      Doi.  He's also done episodes 1-2.  I was thinking of trying
      episode 8 (the one where Ami-chan appears), but haven't had
      the time to do much about that yet...

Well, I wouldn't say that there's that much to miss in "Sailor Moon".
It's not like the series has anything profound to say... :-)

Oh, sorry about that last...I *did* know what you meant, but sometimes
my sense of humor gets the better of me... :-)

In short:
    "Sailor Moon" is about a girl name Usagi Tsukino (her name in
    Japanese order means "Rabbit of the Moon") who becomes a "Sailor
    Warrior".  Her mission is to defend the Earth against the youma
    from the Dark Kingdom.  Her cat, Luna, is in search of a missing
    princess and the Sailor Senshi are supposed to aid in that search.

    What makes Usagi-chan unique among anime heroines is that she is
    extremely *bad* at whatever she does...whether it is in taking
    exams, getting to school on time, or fighting youma...

Is this terrifying enough for you?  :-) :-)

RE:  The Nausicaa comic book thread under this subject:

Randy - almost, but not quite, correct.  Nausicaa Vol. III is not
  the *ending* of Nausicaa - just three more issues advancing the
  series (or so I've been informed).

Followups to rec.arts.manga, please.
