It's Miyamoto Musashi, I think.
  Although there were three movies done about him (_Samurai I_, II and III,
for anyone who's interested--they star Toshiro Mifune, and are pretty good),
there's a lot of stuff they didn't cover, and some of it may even work
as anime, instead of live action.  (Although I'm a bit hesitant about this
idea).

You're attempting to call his characters "realistic"? Maybe the guys,
but gosh, those Cat's Eye girls (and most City Hunter "guest stars")
are just a bit on the overdone side when it comes to "looks". Not that
I mind, of course, I'd love to have girls like that running a cafe near

Robert already posted a while ago that "Larva" is the prefered

Narumi.                  

Both Larva and Lemures (from episode 3) are the names for the spirit of
dead in Roman Mythology.

Upon rereading my posting, it seemed that I had come across a bit
snobbish, despite the smileys.  If that was the impression I left --
especially to the original poster -- I apologize.

This was NOT my intention.

Besides, I hadn't answered Mr. Lee's question, except by inference,
so let's try again...

The anime you're describing is the Ranma 1/2 movie.  This movie (not
an OAV) was released double-billed with the Urusei Yatsura movie in 
celebration of the 25th anniversary of Urusei Yatsura.

It's still true though...my synopsis *did* get Raichi's name wrong.
At least Kirin is right...though that one was easy, since he's named
after a beer... :-)

Hi, my name is Jennifer and I'm out of my depth.  I've been reading
manga for six months....

No, but seriously, having been on this listserv for 24 hours, it is obviously
way beyond my ability to keep up.  I am looking for someone who would be
willing to talk about shojo-manga, gay-themed girls comics and anime.  Is
there anyone out there who shares these interests?  Anyone interested in
discussing why Japanese want their young girls fantasizing about gay men?

Please respond to me directly if you like, since my guess is that most
of this list is not interested in these topics.  (Or I could be wrong.)

I'll stay tuned to the list for another day or two to see what develops.

Thanks for your time,

Listening to the original voices would do a lot better than having them
replaced.  Sometimes it just lost the air it was supposed to have when
you dub it.  I think the seiyuu do make a lot of difference with their

I don't know about technical drawings, but there's a big picture of it
in Poster-Zine #1.  There's also the Akira portfolio which has
pictures from the movie including a side-view of the bike (when Kaneda
is skidding to a stop after playing chicken with the Clown leader).
If you're truly insane/inspired/determined/committed/stupid, there's a

as you're gonna get (actually, I heard someone did a lifesize mock-up
of it in England(?) but I'm assuming they doesn't loan it out 8-).

*dons flame-retardant suit*

I've pretty much figured out that everyone likes subbed tapes over dubbed. But
truth be told, there are quite a few of us out here who can't understand a word
of Japanese and hate to read a movie. Isn't that what books are for? Nor can I
spend the time/money/effort to take a class in the language right now.

Don't get me wrong... I watched the entire Macross saga. The Dubbed version
avaliable from Family Home Entertainment. And yes, the voice actors could have
used some work, and I do know enough about the story that I can see the spots
where things got munged. But I think it'd still take it over Subbed.

*removes suit*

Also, I'd kinda like to know what's out there for the Sentinals. I was really
disappointed to learn (just after doing the Macross saga marathon-style) that
the story didn't continue. I mean... Those characters were cool. Can someone
reccomend a set of novels/comics/something that I can get to keep going on that
story?

Moon (two hours, with commercials intact) or would like to
"acquire" them, email to me, and make arrangements.

So far, there are four tapes that I have, and likely, there will be

To get an idea, (and this in no way meant derogatory) how old are you?
The large proportion of anime fans I know are in the 20-35 age bracket,
and so far I know only one who likes Dragonball, all others hate it.

 > So, what's in Anime that I don't see?

It depends what you are looking for in an anime. Judging from liking
Dragonball, pure escapism and plenty of wild fights... There's plenty
in that range, not the least of which would be Ranma (second series,
the first one was quite "normal").

Most of the people I know love anime (and the Miyazaki's in
particular) for the quality of the artwork (although that theory goes
out the window with Lamune & 40 :)... And not to put a damper on
things, but the artwork and animation in Dragonball Z isn't exactly,
ummm, shall we say, up to Miyazaki quality. :)
