The name of the LD is Tendoke no oyobi denai yatsura
and it is a half hour ova consisting of a narration by Nabiki who
talks about the weirdos who have wandered into the Tendo family's
life.  Most of the animation is pulled from the  early part of the
series i(1st and 2nd season) with the only original animation 
being Nabiki's narration.  Overall, a nice, "nolstalgic" ova with
quite a few of the <cough, cough> scenes like when Ranma finds
out about Shampoo's curse.  And you though Noriko was the
only one with that Gainax bounce... :)

	Maybe she wasn't pyscho after all.. just desperate and for a good
reason.  Does anyone else think that Kyosuke's way of dealing with Hikaru
to be quite Harsh for a guy that almost fell for her?  If Ayukawa hadn't
called that night, would Kyosuke have snapped out of it himself and been
able to figure out what he really wanted?  (Probably yes, but Hikaru
was playing Kyosuke pretty well for 3+ years, and could have pulled her

	I think I'll buy the Movie soundtrack so I can be sad every day.  Why
I don't know..  But yeah, it was pretty close to home for me too, even though
I've never been in a triangle as touchy as theirs..  but I think that everyone
who's ever lost a friend, or a girlfriend in their younger days can feel how
hard KOR's movie hits..  quite nostalgic for me in lots of ways.. even though
it's only been a few years since HS...
	
	Back to Kyosuke's way of dealing with it..  it shows another aspect
of the realism involved.  People aren't perfect.  Madoka and Kyosuke's way
of dealing with the situation shows this..  Instead of sympathizing with
Hikaru, they play the "ICE HER" game, which we're all quite familiar with.
Many years back, he and Madoka (with their 5 children) will probably look
back and wish they had done it less painfully..

(Imagine if Panda were here!  this thread would have been SCREWED..)

   I have four Shogun Warriors for sale to the highest bidder.  For the
 uninformed these were put out by Mattel in the late 70's and manufactured
 in Japan by Bandia.  They are in EXCELLENT conidtion and I still have the
 original boxes (although not in as good condition as the toys themselves :)
 These currently list for $150 *apeice*, but as I mentioned earlier I will
 sell them to the highest bidder.  Serious offers only please.  I could easily
 get $100/each for these at my local flea market but I thought I might give
 some other collectors out there a chance to pick these up.  I have the 
 following for sale:
		     Magzinga
		     Raydeen
		     Gaiking
		     Daimos
All four toys are ~ 2 feet tall and have movable arms and heads, feature
missle launchers, launchable arms, swords, etc.   Would make a nice addition
to any Mech fan's collection.
  I also have a Godzilla Shogun Warrior, but I do not yet have a listing for it.

  Absolutely!  Any local department store ought to be able to provide you with
videotape storage racks; if you can't find them in the electronics section,
ask somebody.  The ones with drawers are to be preferred over the open rack
style, IMHO.  Prices will probably run forty to fifty cents per tape capacity.
  As it happens, I've got the same problem myself at the moment.  I bought a
tape holder, overflowed it, bought a bigger one, overflowed both of them, and
now I'm looking at this big wooden 100+ tape cabinet...which I'll probably
overflow within the year.  Some hobby, eh?

   Well, you could set up a videocam in front of the tv, too. We'll test the
system and give a full report to the licensors. If they aren't happy, they'll
pull their permissions and we'll have to move the program to the video rooms.
It's all up to them. Right now they are happy with the way the system is
*supposed* to work. After Red Lion, I don't trust any of those things anymore.
The video police aren't going to come to your room to see if you've got two
VCRs hooked together but the Con has to get permission to air the videos we
want to air. Nothing will get the plug pulled on the closed circuit system
faster than a caravan of VCR-laden hand trucks crossing the lobby, headed for
the elevators. Sure, a skilled technician can get around any security measure
but if we take reasonable precautions, we should be able to put on the show
without alienating the video vendors.

Well folks Im very saddened that it has taken these idiotic anime convention 
fights to get me to post, but Im afraid that I have to clarify a very important 
issue.
 
The infantile tirades of Anime Expo and Anime America and their surrogates 
in no way reflect the true nature of the fan community of the Northern 
California Bay Area. Im no elected spokesman, but I have been an anime 
fan in this area for the last six years. Ive been amazed by the diverse pool of 
talent and the generous nature of the fans Ive met. From the folks in the 
Monterey peninsula to the south to Santa Cruz, San Jose, San Francisco, 
Berkeley and Sonoma in the north, this area has historically had one of the 
least political fan environments in the country. During my time working on 
anime presentations at Comic or Sci-Fi conventions usually members from 
various organizations worked together under the umbrella name B.A.A.A 
(Bay Area Animation Alliance). No one took the lions share of the credit (or 
the blame), there were no egos to bruise and overall things went pretty 
well. Only with the advent of AnimeCon did this whole political crap start. 
The reasons are many and yes, I think certain people are to blame but that 
really isnt the point. 
 
The true damage here is to the fan community in the Bay Area. As one of 
the publishers of V.Max, (buy it today: shameless plug) Ive been privy to 
the perceptions of some of the American and Japanese professionals and 
their take on things has been anything but positive. The problem is that the 
whole region has taken the heat for this garbage and not just those certain 
convention organizers who deserve the blame. To top it off, it has caused a 
lot of the people who have worked on the cons to "take sides". As a result a 
lot of people have stopped working on anime projects, fan or professional. 
That is the real tragedy here. Ive been a part of both AnimeCon and 
AnimeExpo and I have my complaints (boy do I), but I worked on the 
conventions to provide entertainment to the fans.  I certainly didnt do it to 
advance someones career or to put money in anyones pocket. I havent 
"gotten anything out of it" other than that  simple satisfaction. Now the 
situation in this region is being compared to those wonderful days of yore 
when Randall Stukey and the CFO empire ruled.  I just dont think that 
anything at this point that either convention can offer fans will replace 
everything that has been lost.
 
For those of you whose only perception of the fans in this region is from 
what gets posted about the conventions, I would like to state unequivocably 
that these people involved in the con politics are not representative of the 
majority of the fans here. Northern California fans are for the most part, 
friendly and generous people who simply appreciate anime as a unique 
medium and as enjoyable works of art.

     I asked about this back when I first became aware of its (then pending)

     Except...You are referring to the movie, correct?  If your concerns
revolve around the perfect collection (or whatever), then I have no
idea.  I'm willing to bet, however, that, even if the PC *is* terribly
scarce, you'll still be able to acquire it in a forum such as Anime
America or Anime Expo.  The stuff being sold at Expo '92 was absolutely
incredible (with prices to match).
