>Unfortunately, there don't seem to be all that many UY fans anymore.  :-(

There weren't all that many Maison Ikkoku fans before Arctic Animation
started subtitling that, and the number of Kimegura Orange Road fans has
vastly increased for the same reason.

It is, of course possible that it is an effect of the selectivity of the
subtitlers, but my own experience with Urusei Yatsura is that, in
general, I have found the subtitled episodes hilarious, and the
unsubtitled ones at best mildly amusing and at worst incomprehensible. 
I've never seen an episode unsubtitled and then subtitled, so I can't
make a direct comparison, although I enjoyed the early episodes without
subtitles, at least partly because I've read Viz's translation and had a
good idea of what was happening.

I own most of the original manga, but haven't had enough time to work
through more than a story or two, a day's work each at my current
Japanese comprehension level, so it's been little help so far in
understanding the TV episodes.

I agree with Albert here.

J(y)ashin = (1) an evil god (2) a god of other religion (less common 
usage) 
[BTW, gods from HP Lovecarfts's works are usually translated as
Jyashin in Japanese.]

Majin = (1) demon (2) supernatural being with great power, usually
evil (but not necessarily).


Jyashin is used only for a god; Majin can be used for variety of
beings (in Lodoss War novel #2: Honoo no Majin, an efreet is refered
as a Majin) but it's not used for a god belonging to that
particular pantheon (since Kardis belongs to Lodoss Pantheon, she
could not have been refered as a "MAJIN"). For the adversaries of
the gods, "akuma (devil)" is often used.

	Well, with the shutdown of Kitty's studio KAB in Thailand, which Scott
helped establish, Scott has no real connection with Kitty anymore.  But, for
what it's worth, Scott told me himself that the Ranma anime WOULD be ending,
and he thought it would be ending this spring sometime.  (He mentioned this to
me about the first of the year or so.)

	I'm not sure when Scott spoke to Dan, but the last time he was in town
was well over a year ago.  But Dan may be corresponding with him as well.

One source of information is the Children's Writer's & 
Illustrator's Market published by Writer's Digest Books.
Actually, you may want to join the Writer's Digest Book

offers a whole range of informative books on just about

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone knows of any other places to look for computer
animation jobs other than production and post production companies.  I
have gotten in touch with quite a few, and nearly all of them are very
small, and they only hire freelancers when needed.  The bigger companies
that do hire artists full time, it seems that they use very
sophisticated packages that most people with a BFA fresh out of school
would not know how to use. 

The people that have responded to my resumees so far have NOT been from
production/post-production companies, so I know that other people
besides prod./post-prod. hire computer artists, I'm just not sure who
they are, and where I should be looking for them. Any advice or
suggestions? Thank you very much!

I did my best to find the original article, but to no avail.  Therefore, I

That said: The Enterprise is NOT a warship.  It's chief mission is exploration.
It uses a militaristic chain of command for convience and just plain
getting things done(TM).  It also has military weapons "just in case".

Would YOU want to tell a six foot plus tall Klingon that he has to cut his
hair?  Or Deanna, for that matter.  Of what entertainment would the show be
without her raven curly locks cascading down her clea...er..shoulders?
Seriously speaking, Starfleet is tolerant of other races' cultural
norms, as long as it does not prevent peaceful co-existance ("Conspiracy").
Naturally, I speak for Starfleet at all times.  ( 8-) )

I guess everbody remembers STI:TMP when Captain Decker was telling
the android named Illia (Ms. Baldhead) when in the observation lab
about all the ships named Enterprise.  The pictures included the Aircraft
carrier and the Shuttle. 
You would think that they would try to keep the style -- but if they
tried to put everything with Enterprise on it, they would need a lot more
room then they have on ship.
I remembering someone posting a list of Everything in our past that was
named Enterprise and there were about 10 or so designations.

Not that this helps any.......

In it he was talking about the public reaction to the robot, Daneel, and
mentioned how there was a huge amount of Daneel fan mail from women who found
him attractive.  What is interesting is that he compared Spock to Daneel in the
way that women were attracted to the character (essentially the same reasons -
superior strength, intelligence, mastery of emotions).

still a student and I don't earn any real money, just spend it... I am
asking for this info since I must choose between food for the week and

	Also...entirely not related...does anybody know how I might

It seems the BlockBuster local to me has an ever-so-sacrilegiously
