like me? :)

Of Course we like you (why, doesn't anyone else?).  Sorry you are having
trouble getting ahold of us.  Please send email to (manga@oldcolo.com),
snailmail to:
Manga-chan, 1750 30th St. #312, Boulder CO 80301, USA.

Please don't send email to this address (twics.co.jp), as the email
charges are pretty high (yes, for receiving as well as sending).

You can also try to get ahold of us on GEnie.  I (Bret) just started an
account there, it is currently (B.HALFORD), but I'm trying to get it
changed to (MANGA) or (M.CHAN).  In fact, it is better to get hold of me
through GEnie as I will be checking in there more often (like almost daily),
than I will at Oldcolorado (twice a week).  The reason there is simple,
GEnie is a local call for me, while Oldcolorado is a dollar a minute, even
at midnight :-(.

If you would like information on joining GENie, call 1-800-638-9636.  Their
basic service is just $5 per month for unlimited afterhours email and BBS, and
they hook up to Japan and a few other countries as well as the USA.
Outside the usa, call 1-301-340-4000.  (US, CAnada, Japan, Germany, Austria, 
and Switzerland).


Also, I owe apologies to several people for being very slow in filling
orders.  I'm still working at a full-time job until November 20th, after
which service should improve a great deal.  My partner in the States has
also been pretty sick this month, which has slowed down our attempts
to figure out how to run this business.  Please bear with us, again, my
apologies for making you wait.

For you who want the entire Dirty Pair Paradise story it is avaliable at 
128.155.18.23 in /pub/anime/stories.  It's the only file in that directory.

Also I have added a few more image files to /pub/anime/new.  These are in 
both jpeg and gif format and I must warn you they are fairly big.  Below is a 
list of files and approximate sizes:

Dangaio1.pac.jpeg     131k    The group
Dangaio1.pac.gif      540k
Dangaio2.pac.jpeg      95k    The main character I don't remember her name
Dangaio2.pac.gif      293k
Dangaio3.pac.jpeg      81k    Pi Thunder
Dangaio3.pac.gif      311k
Dangaio4.pac.jpeg     113k    The other girl
Dangaio4.pac.gif      563k
Dangaio5.pac.jpeg      99k    Main character blushing (for a reason)
Dangaio5.pac.gif      378k

The jpeg and gif files are exactly the same except for the format.  When I 
scan the files they are in 24bit raster color.  I first save the jpeg the 
image then I change the 24bit image to 8bit using adaptive diffusion dither.  
At that point I save it in gif format.  Hope you enjoy these files.  Later 
today I'll have Image viewing utilities for the mac and pc in their 
directories.  I believe I have a jpeg viewer for the pc that doesn't convert 
it to another format before viewing.

Questions and comment are welcome.

I saw Bayscape and was quite a bit disappointed. I appreciate the
effort that went into it by everyone, and I think they did an amazing
effort, but the story was a little too thin and short even for a video
of that length.

And remember, this is not a 'murrican newsgroup, it's about as
international as you can get. From the UK to Japan, from (Western)
Australia to Norway and from Finland to Canada (not to forget Italy),
this newsgroup is as diverse as you can get. So no 'murrican icons,
please. :)

a set?  My friend is ready to buy, but after I told him about this

There's been Project A-Ko 1-4 (4 actually being called Project A-Ko Final) and
A-Ko the Vs:Grey and Blue side, for grand total of 6.  I think that the 
original A-Ko was the only movie of the series (I think).

A question to you kanji die-hards: the character etched upon Yakumo's
forehead, what is it?  It isn't in any standard (8,000 character)
Chinese dictionary, and is not a Japanese-origin kanji either.  Since
there *are* 50,000 characters in Chinese, is Yakumo's one of those
other non-general-use 42,000, or is it a Sazan-only kanji?

Yes, and here's why:

TV episodes have more episodes and larger following than OVAs.  Give me
one, ONE OVA-only series that has had a level of following even close to
TV series (Gundam doesn't count, there were THREE TV series).

Why do I look for "level of following"?  More people follow a show, more
probable that the owning company will make more of it.  It's the nature
of the Japanese animation market.

				^^^^^^^^^^^^

No they don't, and that's the problem!!  It really makes me mad when I see
the potential of a good manga series squandered in 3-4 OVAs.

I've seen it (after I seen the original in Japanese).

The voice actors are mostly from the Robotech School of voice acting, 
which means the typical Streamline voice treatment. The story itself 
seems to have been rewritten in many places! (Often this distorts some of 
the true meaning of the original.

Overall, it not as bad as I thought it would be, but the voice acting 
could of been better (the caracters could of had more emotion in thier 
voices instead of some of it sounding like it was read straight from a 
script). I'm not sure WHY some of the story was rewritten!

  This is the 2nd movie (in summer 1992), which is coming this winter
in form of video & LD. I guess it's a WHOLE MOVIE in spite of its
low price.

  In addition, an LD named "Tendo-ke no oyobide nai yatsura" has come
on Aug. 31 (mail order only). This seems to be a graffity of TV
