The FBI works.  One of my friends reported a store in my city that was a
BIG pirate tape producer/seller.. and they were charging REDICULOUS prices
for LOW quality tapes.. Anyways, what he did was get a copy of their
catalog and hilite the appropriate titles, then send it off to the
appropriate companies.  Evidentally one of them must have reported to the
FBI, because some guys with flashy badges stopped by to say hello at the
store... I guess they were told "Stop or die" (or something like that..
can never remember the exact story =).  They've gone legit now, and carry
every anime title released. =)
 
I can understand how piraters could have done well even 5 years ago.. but
now so many video rental stores carry anime, that if you just wanted to
get 8 titles it would be cheaper to buy a VCR and rent/copy them yourself
(not that I'm promoting this).
 
Owell..

'87 or '88?  Sounds good to me.

I was looking back at some old mail archives (I have *got* to clean

was *obviously* from rec.arts.anime, so the newsgroup predates that
at least...

Again, there jsut isn't enough of it to justify the newsgroup.  Sure, once
someone finishes something and starts posting it, there are a LOT of articles
involved, but in between times, there is NOTHING.  The amount hardly justifies
an entire newsgroup.  I think the idea proposed last semester is better for
this: prefix fanfiction with the word FANFIC so that people who can use kill-
files can kill fanfiction if they don't want to read it.  It won't help every-
one, but it will help a little.

     Just got done watching the A.D.Vision sub of "Demon Slayer Yohko"
(spelling from memory so E-mail me corrections *G*) and was rather impressed
with the series as well as the subbing.

     I don't know how "true" the translation was, but it was good enough to
match the animation at least...  And get three out of three viewers laughing
at quite a few scenes.

     It's an interesting series where the main character, who is supposed to
be this killer demon slayer...  Gets by somehwhat on her luck (or bad luck as
the case may be) then actual skill.  In one shot the evil bad demon queen type
person misses Yohko because Yohko slipped and scraped her knee.  :)

     Check it out if you get the chance...  If you're looking for a cross
between A-KO & Miyu, this is it.

Unfortunately, it doesn't contain the movie. The boxed set is from
Warner Music Japan while the movie belongs to Bandai.

Anyway, here is the listing of what's in the set.

DISC 1
Side 1: Special Program 199X Tokyo On My Mind Part 1.
        CDV Contact 1 (Video Part)
        Video Vol. 1 1/2 and Hiroko's Clip

Side 2: Vol.1 & Vol.2


DISC 2
Side 3: Vol.3 & Vol.4

Side 4: Vol.5 & Vol.6


DISC 3
Side 5: Vol.6 1/2 and Vol.7
        Acess the Movie

Side 6: 199X Tokyo On My Mind Part II


The set also includes 16 page booklet.

This set is becoming rather rare in Japan (and is a limited
edition). So you should act quick. :)

As Bruce had said earlier (sorry quotes don't work on this
piece of shit Freenet terminal), the key is to EXPAND.  Although
it's a high risk proposition, the rewards are extremely high.

KOR should be simple as pie.  Translation is fairly straight-
forward (hell, I can even do translations for this series, and
I won't switch the names around <ahem>) and the series is damned
short.  A 300 level Japanese student (3rd year) can probably do
a good job using Arctic Scripts as a rough (and I mean ROUGH)
guide.

If I ever finish rewriting the scripts, I'll GIVE the damned
things to Animeigo to make it that much easier on them.  HELL,
I'm guessing that others would give their services to Animeigo
for free if they were asked (and given credit for their work.)

I'm still finding it hard to believe that UY is doing very
very well (quoting Mr. Woodhead).  I like the series alot, but
I thought it would bomb for sure.  I'm wrong, and I'm glad I
was..

Here's an interesting tidbit.  I think that it may also be in the
comic buyer's guide as well, but without the explanation.

There is a new book coming out in March with a collection of
Mikimoto's art in it from his early work through Macross II.  Here's
the rub though.  This book is a groundbreaker because it is the first
book of a Japanese anime/manga artist that is being made specifically
for the American anime market.  i.e. Japanese fans will have to
special order this book from the U.S..  I took a look at it and it
looks pretty nice.  Might also be nice to get Mikimoto to autograph it
at Expo.  (Hint, hint)  Just thought that folks out there would want
to know.  Surprised that nobody asked yet.

After seeing the subtitled version of CCA on New Year's Day,I'll have to say
this: After seeing all of those magnificent mobile suit battles as well as
the actual dialogue in translation,my opinion of the movie has shifted some-
what. It's not as wretched as I thought it was,but it still seems inadequate
compared to WAR IN THE POCKET or what I've seen of STARDUST MEMORIES. If any-
thing,the fact that a slew of characters get introduced,are given no real time
to develop as characters and then get whacked in combat makes the movie seem
like a character-design-go-round....and my opinion of Quess has gotten even
_more_ negative,to boot. The MegaBrat (TM) pretty much got what she deserved,
and it's too bad that the only new character who was given a chance to
develop was the most annoying one in the movie. Ah well.

Couldn't we do Least Favorite Dubbing Production rather than Favorite

just throw all the Streamline dubs in a hat and pick one  randomly.

But seriously though think of having some least favorites. Like maybe

vote for Hokuto No Ken if I was feeling ambivalent about the whole
