	Hi there!

	I'd like to contact Masamune Shirow or one of his agents to ask him or
them about the cost of a licence to use some of his art in a publication. 

	Does anyone knows about the address I should try or indeed had/has any
experience in a similar field and could help me with tips?

	Thanks in advance,

Okay, maybe I am jumping to conclusions.  But from what I have read
in this newsgroup, most people seem to think that it isn't very
original and that parts of it are almost childish.  I saw the manga
adaptation of Macross II ,and  that looked horrible as well.
The owner of the shop that sold  the book even admitted that he hated it.
So ya see, I don't want to spend hard-begged-for money on something
that everyone is bashing, especially an entire series that apparently
shows no promise so far.

A previous poster made a  humorous refernce of having Hikaru-chan from KOR play
Rebecca DeMornay's part (the babysitter) "In the Hand that Rocks the Cradle".

I think I got an nteresting choice. How's about C-ko from "Project A-ko" ??
 You have the new babysitter.. Just don't make her cry .. Or let her do the
cooking .. :-)


Or perhaps Kei and Yuri in "Single White Female" ?? I'm really not
up on DP that well, so I'll leave it to you all to figure out who would
play what role ,,,


Just some thoughts to pass the anoth er day until I can hit the Video store
and the VCR..

        Don't rate something you haven't seen (all) yet.  It's like rating the
1st hour of a movie and saying that it's just average.  Unless of course you
are Mikimoto's brother in law, and have already seen all 6 parts of the series.

        It's a bit slow so far, but I think it has potential to be worth buying
on LD.  (maybe since I'm a poor fool).

        (But I agree, it'd have to do a rampage of greatness to surpass or
match Ai Oboeteimasu ka).

"Dead On Account".  Certifiably dead, as both series ended.

Are any of these TV anime series?  Patlabor WAS one, but not anymore.

That kind of mentality is the problem.  Make quick money now instead of
taking a risk and producing something that will pay off in the future.
Maybe when the Japanese economy gets better...

I'd love to see TV series based on stuff like AH! MEGAMISAMA, or KOKO WA
GREENWOOD, or VIDEO GIRL AI (sp?).  Instead, we get SAILOR MOON
and a slew of other "kute klones".  Double feh.

OK.  If we get to campaign for our candidates...  Then I like the idea of
Misty May.  (Is that it?  From "Otaku no Video".)   Like C-ko, she in
herself is a statement about the anime community.  As a mascot, she could be 
a virtual anime character for a virtual anime community.  And besides, she's
from Gainax, a fan grown company.

I seem to recall an incident where Kyoko has an absolute panic attack
when Godai is about to see Akemi in her usual state of undress (which
will distract him before his big exam).

	There are lots of Japanese video stores in LA that have TV eps

   entire Z series (40 tapes!) but none of the original Dragonball series.
	Right now I only have 1 VCR but that should be changing soon.  I
   love this series so much that I'd like to let other people see it but
   right now I can't make tapes.  Keep my email address and mail me
   in a month or so and see how my VCR situation is going.

Attention all anime fans, junkies, otakus, and whoever you are,
AnimEgo is starting to release anime like a bandit in the US.

From what i have seen, it is pretty good, IMHO, however i only
have the KOR OVA's of "Hawaiian Suspense" and "White Lovers".

Anyway, according to the info that i got from sources, a
tentative release schedule has been announced.  And i have it
here for you.

Don't thank me right away, i still am trying to find lots more
stuff....

Alright, here goes:

               UY- Beautiful DreamerNovember 1992

     Prices were not quoted by my source, however i would
guestimate the average price of the videos to be around $35.00. 
On the low end being the two BGC concerts at 15.99, and on the
high end Vampire Princess Miyu at 40.00 each.  I may be wrong, so
don't quote me on any of these....

     if you'd like to order any of the aforementioned videos, i
do have Animego's address for snail mail and E-mail, although the
E-mail one might not work....

But let see if this line would satisfy you.
 
We're talking about a hypothetical situation where about 2/3 of the population
lives in space. This situation has not occured anywhere in our history so 
trying to use analogies is completely inappropriate. At best we could guess
what would be the correct thing to do. Do not be so sure that you know what to
do and that what you believe is right is actually RIGHT! unless you're somehow
able to predict the future, which I'm willing to be you can't!!

Misty May - Best representation of an OTAKU mascot there can be. :)
Theresa Martin - see TMartin.GIF, we already have an image of her.

 > Let's NOT make this a favorite character poll.  Choose the character/team

If it were, I'd yell NOA all the way. :)

"KOR II:  The Hand That Rocks Our Cradle".  I swear, Mathews, every time
I see that ad I see Hikaru as the babysitter instead of whatsherface the
blonde.

No.  He got the following two facts confused:
- Viz Comics is releasing the translated NAUSICAA Vol. 3 starting in December.
- The manga ending will be different from the anime ending.
