>>Well, my original Mamono Hunter Yohko LD is rotting...so I was hoping AD
Vision would do an LD...for cheap too. ^_^ <<

I'm getting mixed messages on laserdisk longevity.  It's a non-contact
medium so it should last a long time, but the disks rot, so they don't even
last as long as tapes?  What's the deal?  What percentage of laserdisks rot?
 50%? 10%?  How do you know if it's beginning to rot so you can quickly
transfer to tape?  I just ordered a bunch of LD's from AnimEigo and U.S.M.C.
 Now, I'm worried. :(

Well let's put it this way. If there is enough money out there. They'll be
back. Personally being a die-hard Gundam Otaku, for the sake of continuity,
I wish they stay dead.

Now back then Char definitely was NOT dead. It was shown in the last few
frames in the series when the Type 100 was floating around with the cockpit
open that he'd definitely be back.

     From what I have gathered from Ranma 1/2:

When Ranma is a guy they call him Ranma-kun

When Ranma is a girl they call her Ranma-chan

I.E.  the -kun at the end of the name denotes some sort of male thing and
-chan a female thing.  So calling Ayukawa Madoka, a female, Ayukawa-kun, a
"male" word, is an insult.

Well, in answer to your questions....

1) Yes, there is something of a difference between SVHS SP and SVHS EP. 
It's not as noticable as the difference between VHS SP and EP, but it is 
there.

2) Recording in EP: Yes, recording in SVHS EP is IMHO going to result in 
a better picture. Some disagree, but I feel SVHS EP is a good choice if 
you need space but don't want to sacrifice <too> much resolution.

3) SVHS vs. non-VHS: If you mean record in VHS on an SVHS machine, then 
no, the difference between an SVHS machine and a VHS machine will be 
negligible.

4) starving student: welcome to the club! What you use depends on your 
source. If you dub off tape or disc, then at minimum a drilled HG tape 
will suffice. I reccomend Fuji AV Pro,  Sony V HG and BASF videotapes. 
"Normal" tapes won't be sufficient. Incidentally, if you intend to tape 
off television in SVHS, don't use anything less than a true S-VHS tape, 
because the noise is bloody awful. When I want say "The Simpsons" or TNG 
but I'm going to be out, I dub the show on an SVHS tape, then tape it 
down to VHS for collecting. the VHS dub is virtually as good as taping 
off TV in the first place.

5) anime recordings: agai, it depends on the source. If you are taping a 
4th generation dub (or something similar) go for SVHS SP. If its 
reasonably good quality, use SVHS EP, particularly if you have a LOT to 
tape.

Hope all this helps!

Japan Video is still open. They moved a LONG time ago from the
Buchanon Mall (the old upstairs store).

JBC is still in the same place, below Kinokuniya.

As I remember, there are a couple of other places nearby that rent
TV shows, but they are pretty much exclusive to Japanese customers,
and I don't think that they have any anime, but mostly Japanese
dramas, etc.

What I would really like is to see a Rumic Universe fighting game with
all Takahashi characters and not only from Ranma 1/2. I even came up with
some feeble ideas of my own...

Lum - similar to Raiden in Mortal Kombat. Shoots lightning, the flying
slam should be accompanied by ear-splitting "DAAARLIIIIING!!!!"

Mendo (UY) and Shukumaru (Fire Tripper) - two generic samurai, could be like
Ken and Ryu in SF2.

Maris (Supergal) - like Zangief in SF2, should have some mega-damage grab/throw
move.

Mitaka (MI) - shoots ultra-fast tennis balls, can do a somersault slash with
the racket.

Oyuki (UY) - can freeze her opponents like SubZero in MK.

Godai (MI) - a "handicap" character for very good players. Has no special
attacks, takes damage from any attack, even when blocked, his attacks do zilch
damage, can take damage when trying to punch his opponent, also can fall down
and take damage when doing a roundhouse kick. Fights in front of the boarding
house with other tenants cheering against him.

Ataru (UY) - probably no special moves, but has very high stamina and 
practically impossible to stun. A very persistent character :-)

Benten (UY) - can use her chain in the manner similar to Scorpion's harpoon.

Except for ownership of one robot kit (Wug or Wugu) and pictures of several more in an old Bandai catalog, I otherwise know virtually nothing about the series ROUND VERNIAN VIFAM. I posted on this about one year ago, but received an answer of little informative value. Would someone else please give a very brief sysnopsis of what it's about. Is it more of a childrens show or what? Since Bandai took the time and money to produce about ten kits from the series (some in different scales) VIFAM must have had *s

Please post your response to the whole net. Thanks in advance.

Nausicaa is back everyone. The English version, distributed by Viz. I

at your local (US and probably Canadian) neighborhood comic shops 
tomorrow (Friday). Put out by Viz, it's $3.95 a pop. The covers are made 
of cheaper material than before, and so is the whole book. Also, a 
different translator and letterer.  I would have liked to see Studio 
Proteus continue, if for nothing else than continuity (not to mention 
that I liked their job on Nausicaa). But oh well, English Book 3 Volume 1 
is out now. (Or will be tomorrow). Go pick up your copies; be the first

Despite the ten dollar markup compared to Nikaku, and the additional ten dollars
for UPS second day air (they refused to send ground) compared to Nikaku's five
dollars, Kendra (my s.o.) got it. The charge didn't show up on this months card
statement. It showed up on Kendra's _MOTHER'S_ credit card

When Kendra called up to inquire into this, she found out that Eldon keeps every
credit card number that you use with him. If you use a credit card to order something from Eldon, you can count on it remaining with him forever.

Eldon said that when you ask him to erase a card number from your "file" all he
does is write "do not use" next to it.

Oh, Kendra used her mother's card once (about five years ago) to order the gorg
disk set. FIVE YEARS!

If you want to here any more Eldon-Antics and bad business practices, just ask!

The usage of the ``-kun'' suffix by a male towards a female is almost
exclusively in addressing a inferior.  For example, the boss of a company may
address his receptionist as ``Suzuki-kun''.  It is not polite usage in any
case.

Similarly, ``kimi'' is sometimes also used by an older male to a younger
female (or perhaps between boyfriend and girlfriend).

In either case, Madoka would whallop Kyosuke if he used either term.
