Heh, I wonder when Tom Mitchell will do another poll? ^_^;  I think Genie
places ads for their aniem section in an older Animag issue...

So far they haven't been spotted in stores yet but I'm not holding my

     Yeap.  It's currently being worked on now as we speak.  Basicly, Yohko
is going to hell in the third OVA.  Seems she falls in love this time around.

    Supposedly, three is supposed to be the last one.  But then again, you

I have seen it, and the only thing I can say is UGH!!! The movie itself is a
VERY condensed version of the first fifty or so episodes of the TV series,
and is already somewhat disjointed to begin with, And the massacring of the
script (especially the butchered "improved" ending) and the voice acting
(yet another piece of genius from the legion of unemployed Roboblech voice
actors!) led to a less than enjoyable film experience. My advice: Find
someone with a fan-subbed version (or better yet, someone with the first
100+ episodes subbed. I KNOW this exists)

At various points in time, yes.  The earliest is from 1983, and the latest
is from 1991.

Not really.  It's sort of like STAR TREK, if you go to see the movies
without knowing who the characters are, you're going to get lost.

Not the first two.  You WILL get lost with UY 3 if you don't know who
all the other characters are (fortunately AnimEigo included a "character
scorecard" in their liner notes for that one).

     There are a very good reason for not hearing of the newsletters.
That reason is simply that the ANIMECAT only has been out for 2 quarters
and AM.SIG newsletter will not be due out until early next year.  ANIMECAT
is free, but it is a catalog/newsletter combo.  AM.SIG biannual is a 
newsletter for members of AM.SIG (Anime Market Sharing Group), a not-for-
profit organization, only.  As of now, individuals are not permitted to 
subscribe to AM.SIG biannual since it is restricted to member clubs.
I hope this helps.

I believe the author was Allan Steele.  He has also written some novels,
and at least one of them (_Orbital Decay_) was very good.  Didn't have
anything to do with anime, though.

There's the rub.  This is actually a very interesting comment.  I thought the
point of a dub is to make it (mainly) for those who can't/don't want to/
haven't seen the original.  I like to know what people think about a dub on
it's own merits (without comparison to the original).  Though, I am also
interested in how the dub compares to the original in "overall effectiveness".

At first i thot you meant Steffanie.

UY has a number of all-English songs:
	Every Day		(UY ED8)		Steffanie
	Born to Be Free		(UY3 OP)		Steffanie
	Remember My Love	(UY3 ED)		Steffanie
and mostly-English songs:
	Chance On Love		(UY OP4)		Cindy
	Open Invitation		(UY ED7)		Cindy
	Rock the Planet		(UY OP5)		Steffanie

But in Project A-ko?  Let's see, the three songs in that were:
	Dance Away		(A-ko's theme)		Annie
	In Your Eyes		(B-ko's theme)		Samantha
	Follow Your Dream	(C-ko's theme)		Valerie

And Capricorn?  The only song Animage lists from that is:
	Sayonara Stranger Days	(ED)			Hiroki Yumi
But it can't be her, she has a last name.  ^_(

I don't know who you mean.  Maybe she's singing in Japan because they
don't notice how bad she is there.  Maybe she's a media-manufactured
no-talent like Kylie.  Maybe all English singers sound like that to
you.
