Anna and Unipuma make a cameo in pages 158-9 of "The Ghost in the Shell",

Shirow does mention that the Puma sisters are in something called "Kokaku

I wouldn't quite put it as that bad (not good but not that bad).
Though I would recommend staying away if a voice that sounds like Rick
from Robotech makes you wrench..... otherwise I would watch it (and have)
Certainly it is not as bad as the evil series which I just recently
saw about 30secs of.... Jean's voice was worse than I could have imagined.

  And if you can, can you also give me a rough estimate of the cost?

Well, aren't QuickTime segments sampled at only 15 frames/second? that would

I think what would be a good way to help you advertise your talent,
Rich, is to perhaps post a gif of your art on the net so that people
can judge for themselves your talent.  It would help reassure them
that they will have spent their money wisely.  I'm not trying to 
disparage your art, just giving some marketing advice.

HI,
	I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but since
most of you have LD players, I figure why not.  I have seriously been
considering picking up an LD player for the past few months and would
like some input from those that have them, or those that have a
comment.  So anyway I see that there are a plethora of cool things
available on LD, and that the quality is practicly perfect.  But my
question is this, in the next couple of years isn't HDTV supposed to
be coming out?  And when this does come out, won't all of this be
useless for the new TVs?  I don't know if this is true, but that is
what I have heard?  Any comments?
Thanks,

hmmm... really?  I thought that MD Geist was somewhat better (plus

For those who don't know, Crystal Triangle is a REALLY BAD Raiders of the

The plot is one dimensional and unoriginal, same for the characters, same

was a waste of money.  I'd advise anyone in the same position to resist
the temptation.  Go get something good like KOR or Gall Force when
it comes out.

Subject: Criterion Akira _NOT_ bilingual (?)
Date: 29 Aug 92 08:00:59 GMT
Followup-To: rec.arts.anime


OK- rumors aside about how the Voyager Co. is about to fold up and
the fact that the new Akira LD CAV set is delayed, the Autumn
Criterion catalog listed the set and its features- among them:

* rough pencil sketches by director Katsuhiro Otomo, originally made
  as motion tests
* behind the scenes footage and analysis of the animation process
  (I hope this just doesn't mean the "Akira Production Report" 8-))
* Storyboard-to-film comparison
* extensive excerpts from marvel's Akira comic book series, incl.
  the entire first issue

The one feature that isn't listed (and hence the subject title) is
the english/japanese-digital/analog audio channel option which
would've made it bilingual.  So either this is just the Streamline
dubbed version (most likely) or it's subbed (hopefully).  Or of
course, it could just be something they neglected to include in the
description 8-)  Another thing I wonder is if Criterion bothered to
go to the japanese for a fresh print or if they just settled for a
Streamline print...

By any chance, does anyone (Tonghyun?) have any specifics as to what
will be included in the special japanese CAV set?  I noticed a
poster at the San Diego ComicCon at Manga no Mori declaring it an
"international version"- would this imply that it's bilingual?

I'm similarly blessed.  I just happen to read quickly, so subtitles don't
