it wasn't there either time.  i apologise if this is a remarkably antique

Yes, these are the FHE release tapes.  Recorded in EP/SLP mode, and generally
hacked to bits.  Ick.  Avoid at all costs, and wait for the Streamline release.
I see that the First volume of the Streamline release is now available.
4 episodes/tape, stereo, SP mode, and un-edited.

This is the video release of the first 3 episodes of Robotech II: The Sentinels
that weren't really finished, but were released mainly to make fans depressed 
that the series wasn't done. :(  The spisodes are still kind of rough, and
are lacking in the "polished" department.  And it ends way too soon...

It would be the eight only if you count the two-disk DOMINION set as two:
	1.	BGC VOL. 1
	2.	BGC VOL. 2
	3.	DOMINION (two disk set)
	4.	PROJECT A-KO

... and the Criterion AKIRA, but that's dubbed, not subbed.

Yup, it's the classic Ironman 28 head, all right.  It's quite impossible
to miss, given that there's a short sequence focusing on the head and
the toy parts coming out of its mouth, with the head filling the whole
screen.  Perhaps Barry Levinson is a closet otaku?  ^_^

P.S.  The to-scale Ironman head is about the only reason I'd recommend
this film to anime fans.  Actually, it's about the only reason I'd
recommend this film, period.  :-(

	I have a question concerning anime model kits.  I notice that prices
can range from $50 to $200 on these.  A friend who worked for a model kit
company here in the US asked me why is this the case?  I'm not involved in
model kits, and sure can't explain the prices.  Perhaps someone out there
can.  I'm curious.

Ok, I was wandering if anyone could tell me what the prices for most
anime are.  I've seen a lot of stuff for the same price, $24 or so. 

Are there any places where you can buy them cheaper, say $14.  The only places
that I know of are animego, and BooksNipan, and they both overcharge.  So
if anyone knows of any places that sell them cheaper please let me know, 
either through e-mail or by posting.

That's Miyazaki's new film.  ^_^

PORCO ROSSO: KURENAI NO BUTA (translates as "PORCO ROSSO: THE CRIMSON PIG")

I note that not only was it the top-grossing anime film, but the
top-grossing film as well.  And because of the inclusion of BEAUTY AND
THE BEAST, I assume the list includes import films as well.

>A.D. Vision Representitive

It's great to have a representative of A.D. Visions on the 'net so we can
have a link to them.

I was very pleased and very surprised to see Devil Hunter Yohko in U.S.
video release.  Pleased, because it's a very good anime, and surprised
because I didn't think anyone would be brave enough to release anything with
this much overtly sexual content.  After hearing about the Minna Aga Chau
controversy of a couple years back, I thought all subbing companies would be
afraid to release anything too racy.  I am pleased to see that A.D. Visions
is brave enough to licence this video.  I am wondering if there is a certain
philosophy behind A.D. Visions with regard to  releasing titles with the
kind of overtly sexual nature found in this video.  As I haven't seen the
packaging, I'm also wondering what kind of warnings are on it.  I'd hate to
see an unsuspecting mother rent it for her kids and then get all upset
when she saw that it wasn't appropriate for the little tots.
 Misunderstandings like that could give all anime a black eye.

   Hey, I suggested licensing A.D. Police back before Bubblegum Crash!
came out!  :)  I'm glad you picked those up, Mr. Woodhead.  A.D.
Police is a lot closer to that Blade Runner-esque, future techno hell
than BGC ever was, IMHO.  Since each OAV is only 30 mins. long (incl.
music videos), will more than one episode be on the first tape?
   Another trivial question:  The spelling of the title 'Ten Little
Gal Force'.  The Japanese spelling is 'Gall Force' with the extra 'l'
in 'Gall'.  I'm not sure it was spelled that way purposely.  Anyway,
USMC kept the 'Gall Force' mispelling in their release of the first
film, so changing the spelling for 'Ten Little' may be a bit
inconsistent.

A "garage kit" is usually produced by an individual person or small number
of people in a garage or other home workshop, as opposed to the
manufacturing plants of Ban-Dai and Hasegawa and the like. Garage kits are
hand made, and can not be mass produced, thus the higher initial retail
prices. Garage kits are sometimes popular because a big company won't
produce a line of a particular model, or the quality/detailing of a
particular model is really bad.

It's a combination of import tarriffs, middlemen trying to get as much
money out of ignorant store owners as possible, and store owners trying to
get as much money out of ignorant fans as possible. It's pretty much a case
of sellers charging as much as the market will pay.

George is a friend of our Subtitling Director, Michael House.  He was

he will be manning booths for us at local west-coast conventions as

Actually, all these machines - headcrash, tornado, monsoon, avalanche, 
planecrash, etc, etc - are equivalent in terms of accessibility to 
pub/AnimeB/.  You can simply 'finger @ocf.berkeley.edu' to get the names
of all the ocf disasters.  Usually ocf/typhoon/gate is so overworked it's
not a good idea to further tapping it's cpu usage by running ftp on it,
but if all else fails (the disasters may occur independently or simulta-
neously) try it as your last resort.  Otherwise, on rare and happy occasions
when ocf's ftp actually works, just choose your favorite disaster and 
stick with it.

A good practice before you ftp is to finger any one of the non-typhoon 
machines.  If it refuses connection, avoid it.  If it does give you a list
of users, look for the machine with least users and still appears to be 
running (i.e. avoid anything with 20 hrs idol users).

And if none of the above works.  Welcome to Occasionally Crashing Follies.
