Subject: Theater anime films at sci-fi conventions...
Date: 20 Nov 92 12:55:18 MDT
Organization: Utah State University


	Ok, I am an officer in our campus Science Fiction/Fantasy guild (we
cover anime also).  Anyhow, we are having a joint convention with the SCA, and
the Alternative Cinema (a local theater, on campus).  What I was wondering, is
what full length anime film would be good for a convention (in the theater, not
a tv, that is already covered).  It was mentioned for Akira, and shot down,
already done.  What I would like, is Silent Mobius (english).  We can get it,
but, what movies do you think would be a good idea?  (we need 1 for sure,
possibly 2 depending upon the cost).

The novel for Weathering Continent have been serialized in Dragon magazine.

It would seem that the Patlabor New Movie is under quite a bit of wraps, so
don't expect to hear a lot until a month before the release..

Hurray: Dragon Half is finallly an anime (ohhhhh, boy....)
[Now all they need is a Slayers anime, and I could be in seventh heaven..]

And as far as January, The Irresponsible Captain Tairaa, or should I say,
the Irresponsible Captain TAILOR, is out January..(please be better than
Sailor Moon..Getting a bit nauseous at those obnoxious bishojo (pun intended)
and there's no good anime on TV!!!!) A video of the first show will be avai-
able for only 2800 yen (around $30.00 avg in the States)...Not bad.

And of course, Ah my Goddess....The picts look great, but once again, the
studio changed the art a bit too much for my tastes..Nevertheless, I want
a look-see.

-----------------ANIME V----------

Can anyone confirm or condemn the idea of the next releases of other
3x3 Eyes OVA's..If so, are they done by the same company/studio? (I loved
the First 4 eps..undubbed, with the ORIGINAL Megumi Hayashibara..)

------------------------------

Can anyone give some brief synopsis of the current Bastard OVA's? They look
good, but as far as that genre goes, I think Madara and 3x3 eyes were done
better as OVA's..

ANd can anyone confirm Nuku Nuku as the next big mascot of airheads? The
story looks like a cross between "R" and Project A-ko!!!

check out Vampire Hunter D, put out by the fine folks at Streamline. It's my
favorite anime by far.

Just a quick question.  Would anyone out there in net-land know
where I could find a script/synopsis of SD Gundam?  Cal-Animage Beta
is planning on showing it for request night, and I need one to put
in the newsletter.

So -- does such a thing exist, and if so, where can I find it?

There has been references to an anime called "MI" on this newsgroup. What is
it? What does the story line deal with? How similiar is it to KOR? Has it
ever been released in Hong Kong? I've seen the Cantonese versions of KOR...
The plot and language used seems to make it gear towards little kids...
I would surely love to watch an adult version of KOR, which people refer to
"MI" as.

	Having found the perfect defense to the Minmei Sonic Blast weapon,
(ear plugs), the Zentradai begin a new offensive against Macross City.  In
a fit of desperation, they broadcast an old PBS special: Marcell Marceau In
Action.  The Zentradai, having never seen such graceful movements (Look!
He's been trapped inside a force-field in the shape of a box!), they are
instantly thrown into a state of confusion.  The Sesame Street gang comes
in and start counting the Zentradai ships as their ships crash into each
other, starting a chain reaction protoculture explosion which takes out
2/3rds of the solar system including Saturn's rings!  The Zentradai are
never able to attack another genre again!

Sometimes the furigana for those kanji are given as "vampire".  Sometimes
just katakana "vampire" is used.  Sometimes the Japanese pronunciation of
those kanji are used (I forget what that is).

I don't know about Japanese vampires, but as far as Chinese vampires go,
expect one if you get a shonky feng shui man to bury your dear departed. ^_^

No, these are normal.  They are Reel-change Marks, signals to the
theatre projectionist that a reel of film is ending and he has to
switch to the next reel.  They come in groups of two; the first one
is "get ready" and the second one is "go!"  You'll notice that the
scene cut after the second mark is kind of abrupt.

These days, most theatres use a "pancake" projection system where
all the reels are spliced together and kept on a huge platter in
a horzontal position; this way, you don't have to have a projectionist
on duty during the film.  However, as some theatres don't do this,
all films have these marks (watch for them in the theatre; once you
know that they are there, they are easy to see).

When you watch a movie on TV, if you can see the marks, you know that
you are getting the whole image, and that it hasn't been cropped.  We
have been told by Kitty that all the UY Movies were filmed at 1.38 to 1
(Academy ratio, almost identical to TV's 1.33 to 1), but they were
_composed_ for 1.68 to 1 (VistaVision) for display in the theatre.
This means that in the theatre they didn't show the top and bottom
of the image you see on TV.

In fact, if you look closely at the videos of all of the UY Movies,
you'll notice that they are very, very slightly letterboxed; there
is a thin black band at the top and bottom.  This is the correction
between 1.38 to 1 and 1.33 to 1.  However, on most TV's you don't
see this, because most TV's chop off a bit of the top and bottom of
the screen.

Curiously, UY1:Only You doesn't have the reel-change marks.  We have
been told that it is also "Photographed at 1.33 to 1, composed for
1.66 to 1," but we are in the process of double-checking how the
video transfer was done to determine whether (a) the marks were
removed in the studio or (b) the image was cropped.  If the latter,
if and when we do a LD release, we will retransfer the film at
the appropriate aspect ratio.

>Robert, what were the original films mastered to, and did you have those
>mastered onto D@ or did you work with say the original negatives in some

The original films were mastered onto 1", then transferred to D2 for
the current archives.  We subtitled D2 -> Computer -> D2.  We don't
work with negatives unless (as mentioned above) we have to; a new
transfer is going to run around $4k, by the way.

Actually, since AA is already locking down GoHs, what you probably mean

Hmmm, I dunno, six articles for $3.50 (nearly double here in Australia,
US$6) is a little steep for me. Also, 12 out of the 32 pages were ads,
somewhat low "info" value for money.

I preferred the earlier issues. (Just terminated my subscription at the
