Yeah, I am willing to bet that they will not start from the beginning with AMG.
They have done similar things in the past.  For example, the new Birdy the 
Mighty does not start from the very beginning.  There are many other examples
like that.  In fact, they also like to cut short of stories before the end
if they are not popular.  The latest example is the GS Mikami cut.
I cannot stop wondering about one thing:  when they re-continue Bastard!!
in issue 561 (?), will it pick up from where they left off last time?
May be the answer is "yes", considering "how much" of the story has
Hagiwara cranked out since then. ^_^

I can figure out why they want to start from ch. 40 of AMG.  I just came back
from a 3 week tour to Mainland China and Hong Kong.  In Hong Kong, the
lastest translated volume that came out is volume 5 (I got that).  They
try to make their story also appeals to readers who already got volume 5.

Oh, by the way, China is not a land of no manga.  I did see some Saint
Seiya and Cat's Eye manga being sold on the streets.

Now I am back you guys' honeymoon is over. ^_^

The appropriate newsgroup for anime is rec.arts.anime, but just incase you
are an undercover net police, I'd be honored to respond to your post.

j/k... really....

But as you said, if you've seen 73 episodes of Saint Seiya you are no longer
being considered an amaeture anime watcher.  Few people have to guts to go 
out and say "I enjoy watching/reading half naked boys beat each other til
blood pours out".  But hey, I like Seiya too.  Welcome to my closet.  :)

If you like Seiya, I'm sure you'd like Shurato too.  The only differences
between Sh and Se are that in Sh 1) they're not related to each other, and
2) the bimbo is no act job.  The mother of all beat-em-up'ers is of course
Hokuto no Ken (Fist o' N. Star); if you can find it it'll become a collector
item like Z-Gundam.

SS eps are kind of hard to find now.  You may have to beg your friends for
copies.  SS movies are readily available in Japanese video stores (in L.A.
at least anyways).

I will not recommend Miyazaki anime films because somebody surely will.

BTW, do you know all these above mentioned titles have manga (Japanese 
comic/graphic novel) counterparts.  In fact some consider SS manga more 
enjoyable than the anime.  I even thought about a writing a story about
the Dream Team vs. the Bronze Saints, and match Shun with Barkley.....
anyway.

Does anyone have any idea whether or not Dark Horse is planning on releasing
any volumes past number 2, of the Outlanders series? I got onto it really too
late to collect the parts, so started on the volumes - but no more seem to have
turned up for ages! 

Any info would be appreciated - email or posted, I care not.

It's not _quite_ that cut-and-dried.  There is (was?) a clause allowing
one time use for parody purposes.  You just can't use it more than

I'm glad to know that you're not one of those netcops who complain
to everything they can but do not act.  Brilliant job, especially
when it's very difficult for those in U.S to do the same thing.

One thing that annoyed me about your previous article (not this one),

Kunedog appeared.  It reminded me of gaijinophobia (just made it up).

The first 4 volumes of the Japanese Nausicaa cover the material in parts
I and II of the American version.  Volume 5 of the Japanese version has
already been published (or so I'm told).

There is an IRC channel for manga discussion, currently called #anime!
(for historical reasons, mostly).  If your daily dose of r.a.m and
fj.rec.comics isn't enough, come to IRC and help scare off the anime
fans. (^_^)

Like here, people are free to discuss anything relevant, and the channel
frequently sees manga news, translation fragments, artist hopefuls,
opinionated rants, and Dave Mou's enviable repetoire of Kleenex jokes. 
Belldandy makes an occasional appearance, too.

If you need to know more about IRC, ask your system admin or check out
alt.irc for a while.  The essential command you need is "/join #anime!".
(Your site needs to have a TCP/IP connection, BTW.)

All I can say is that enough people call and write Viz, maybe they'll

Subject: How to get agreement for translation of lines
Date: 29 Jul 92 18:17:11 GMT
Organization: Canon Research Center, Canon Inc., Kanagawa, JAPAN

Last year on fj.rec.animation/fj.rec.comics, Some people held
the girl's bitmap contest. 
At that time some bitmaps used an anime/comics character (like LUM, Minmei).
Even if those bitmaps wasn't a direct copy (scanning) from comics book,
original painting but not-original character, the contest members got 
an agreement to use those character from the each author or the editorial
depertment.

In point of using a part(character, lines, story) of manga-works,
I think it same between using a character for bitmap and translating lines.
So I spoke with some of the bitmap contest members how they got agreements.

They said:
It's a very difficult to get a general agreement from the publisher.
So you had better try to contact to the author or his/her editor
on each work.
May be almost author will agree you to translate/post lines without profit,
and wish to see your translation.

So please contact the author or editor, before posting translation of lines.
If it's difficult to conect them from outer japan, I'll be able to help you,
I think.
But from 7/31 to 8/16, I will have a summer vacation in Indonesia.
So I can help you after 8/16, sorry.

Yep.  You could call your friend sukebe while calling him hentai
is an insult.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but does anyone know of any Japanese/Manga
Bookstores around in the Boston area? I'm from NYC and there
are places like Kinokuniya and Tokyo Shoten and the like, but I havent
been able to find the equivalents here. Help?


Thanks,
Robert
