I have a rather odd plastic injection kit --a 1/72 scale Wug (or Wugu?)-- from the "Round Vernian" series. Except that Bandai produced several different kits from the series, I know next to nothing about it otherwise. From the overall style of the kits, I get the impression RV is aimed at relatively young audience, but I'm just guessing. Would someone please comment briefly about Round Vernian's format, characters, etc.?

Anime Videos for Sale
 
As you   may know, I am living in Tokyo and often post  prices for 
various manga, anime, and related goods that I see in the stores.  The 
prices here are
probably the lowest in the world and I am willing to send it anywhere, 
so my lists help establish the basic market value for such items.  All 
of these items are originals.
 
I sometimes come across items that are on special sale, such as a 
collected set of videos, or rare collectors items.  Generally there is 
only one of each, and they are often gone within a week.  I am going to 
start using the following policy for these items:  the first person who 
writes me and says the magic words "I am prepared to write a  check"  
will get the item if it is still available.  When I receive the first 
such a message, I will immediately go out and buy the item and notify 
that person when I buy it..  When I tell you I have bought the item, I 
expect you to send the check ASAP. I will keep my eye out for similar 
items and give first priority on them to the other people who said they 
were prepared to write a check.
 
Here are a few anime video tapes I saw yesterday:
]
KOR TV Series, volumes 1-12.  $500
Each volume runs about 00 minutes
 
KOR series (different tapes from above) 1-10,  $275
 25 minutes each,
 
Omohite PoroPoro (3 copies available)  $50
 
Kiki's Delivery Service (2 copies available) $40
 
 
Here are a few books:
 
Animation Color Album (large format)  The Yearling 1-10.
This is full color, on slick glossy stock.    $60
 
Jun, by Shitaro Ishimori.  Published 1975, b&w, a few color plates.  $30
More a collection of manga-style art than manga itself, very little 
dialog.
 
For you model builders out there, back issues of Hobby Japan Magazine.
I've seen issues from 81-85, more are probably available.  Lots of 
pictures
of dioramas and finished models.  $2.50 each plus shipping (I need to 
weigh one to give a full quote).

Now THAT's an idea!  Why not have an Anime<whatever> West and a
Anime<whatever> East?  You get to have two separate cons, and get
a higher number of fans than if there were two competing cons
(or one con, because of the people who will go to the East Con that
would not go to the West Con even if they wanted to).  For people who
feel they may be missing stuff in one of the cons, some things may be
shared.  What do you say to the idea of using videoconferencing/closed
circuit TV/FedExed videotapes to show the panels of one con in the other
one?  The cons could share video tracks as well (as I'm told happened with
Worldcon '91 and AnimeCon '91).  You get both cons separate, but you
also get to share the resources used by both.

Of course, there are two problems with this scheme:
- who gets to go East
- the lack of knowledge of how to use the East Coast's resources to set up
  a con

I say that AnimeCon (who seem to have more professional expertise) would
have a better time setting a Con in the East than Tatsugawa and the people
from Cal-Animage.

What he said.  Of course, it could be that both of them are putting their
cons in a collision course ON PURPOSE, playing "chicken" and hoping that
the other one will give up.  :-/

Well, US Manga Corps wouldn't have mentioned One-Pound Gospel because they
don't have the license for it.   As for the "The Choojo," the "Choo" means
"Super" and the "Jo" means "Woman," "Girl," or, in this case, "Gal."  The
reading was Takahashi-sensei's own, which she chose when she wrote the
original manga story.

That may be the case.  I believe Cannon Films owns the rights, last I
heard.  (Anyone have different information?)

I honestly feel, that if Carl had the rights to the Robotech movie, he
wold release it as he is releasing just about everything related to
Robotech he can get his hands back on.

If I am not terribly mistaken, the word "otaku" still carries some negative

That's very sad but unless anime fans abandon their hobby and join the
rest of society, people will keep calling them "otakus", whether they like
it or not. Maybe I'm saying things too easily since I don't belong to
Japanese society and don't understand the hardships those people who
are labeled as "otakus" might go through. But I would still tell any
Japanese I meet that I like anime & manga because I see nothing
wrong with my hobby and I don't think they have any rights to label
me as a loser.

This is not a good example. Your friends are those who understand you
well and knows good qualities in you, as well as bad ones. They
won't judge you just by the fact that you like manga (and anime).
But those who just know that you're a manga/anime fan will try to
judge you by that single fact, not any other qualities you possess.
It's like Japanese Politicians saying "Blacks have low
intelligence." "American workers are lazy". Could they have said
that if they were friends of people they were bashing? Could they
have said that in front of African Americans or American workers?
I doubt it.

Is this "is dubbing" or "has dubbed"?  On JAL flights, the English track
