  What I need is for someone more familiar with the english titles of

for 4 years, on the Quad Day for the University of Illinois, it has rained,
and rained, and rained.....

fortunately, we got rid of just about everything before it started to rain.
Which brings up another point: how to promote anime?  The officers here
have talked about this over and over again but....

The club here started out the day with about 170 mini-newsletter, 70 odd
5 page mini-mini newsletters that were left over from last semester,  
and about a zillion flyers for a movie night.  We got rid of everything but
did all of that paper serve its purpose?  Time will tell.....

Date: 1 Sep 92 05:39:44 GMT
Organization: MAWL - Mudd Alums Without Lives

Finally got a chance to see this after 'bout a week of the unopened
tape sitting there tempting me...

Two great stories, both quite different from what the artwork seems to
imply about them (although less so for "White Lovers").  Two very
different stories, too.  Compared to the first OAV, an interesting
pair to juxtapose.  It's also not very often that you get to see
Japanese subtitles (Macross and Robot Carnival come to mind, any others?)

Questions/comments on the voice actors:

Both the insert and the subtitles give a voice actor for Jingoro(!)
By comparing with OAV 1 (and recognizing the voice to be the same as
Genma), this should be Grandpa.

The voice actress for Hikaru was different than that from #1.  #1's is
Koono Eri while #2's is Hara Eriko, which is also listed in the Seiyuu
list.  Was there more than one voice actress for Hikaru?  If so, I
couldn't tell on first impression.  And which one was used in the TV
eps?

And on the artwork again:

In my previous post, I mentioned the "sidebar" and people were unclear
on what I meant.  I'm referring to the small picture at the top of the
title spine.  The picture in this case is a closeup of Kyosuke and
Jingoro and never appeared in either "White Lovers" or "Hawaiian
Suspense".  However, it does look as if it appeared in "First, I was a
Fish, Then I was a Cat" Is this artwork also from the original?  If
not, why did AnimEigo choose to use it?  Of course, considering that
neither the front or back pictures appear (sorry, if that's a
spoiler), it would be kind of fitting.

Yes, it's true, AnimEigo is releasing them on LD.  If you pre-order before
the first disc comes out (Nov. 15 if I remember properly), you can order
all four for $220 ($55 a disc; list price is $65, so you *might* be able
to pre-order them elsewhere for less, like S&S).  I think they're coming
out one a month, starting middle of November, so the last one comes out
in February.

BTW, Robert Woodhead: I remember you mentioned something about a box for the
LD set?  Did I hallucinate that, or is that actually included for those of
us who buy the whole set?  If so, what do we have to do to get it?

>I knew there was a reason I didn't buy BGC tapes at the expo...
>now I have the opportunity to spend more!!!

Actually, the LD work out to be a bit less than original tapes, so
you'll actually SAVE money.  The tapes cost about $250 for a complete
set without the music videos, and the LDs include BGC 1-8 and both
Hurricane Live videos, so you'll get more anime for less money.

Now don't you feel good about yourself?

*not* trying to suck up to them by doing their advertising for them...

Cap in hand, practicing 'sumimasens'....

Because Ianus was concentrating on the (also long overdue) Mecha Press and
working on the Anime Shower Special, PA kinda... slipped.  Then the
distributers cancelled their orders, as they are wont to do... meaning that
we had to re-solicit.  Now, if everything goes according to plan (HA!) three
more issues of PA should come out in a row before year-end (since we had the
magazines designed and some issues printed and ready to go, I've been told).

Vlad - what distributer does your shop use? Friendly Frank's or Andromeda?

I saw a copy at Anime Expo, and it's damn impressive alright.  I'd certainly
recommend trying to get ahold of it, but their distribution seems spotty.  I
must admit, neither we nor staff from the other magazines can figure out just
how they can afford to print this... either they have some large money backing
them, a huge customer base (hard to believe in England) or perhaps production
costs in the U.K. are much much lower.  NB - here I speak for my own opinions,
not those officially of Ianus Publication.

Your best bet is to get the lastest AnimeGossip, which has all of the info. 
If case you don't have it, I will try to recall (hopefully correctly) the

Yes, they are being released. I believe you can buy them in a complete set for 
a reduced price. I think the prices are as follows (DON'T QUOTE ME ON THESE!)

  LD#      Contains        Price
   1       1,2,3            39.95

We need a system here on RAA for script requests, so that if the request is
more than say, 3 days old, it should be ignored. That would limit the people
who send scripts to those who read the message in the first two days; if you
don't get any scripts after that period, ask again...

Or maybe not... what's another 40k file in my mailbox going to hurt? :)

GREY was one of the first anime I saw.  I didn't understand it (lack of 
knowledge of Japanese notwithstanding--most things in other languages I can
figure out anyway), but I liked it enough to watch it twice, and I don't have
the patience to do that with things I don't find moderately to extremely cool.
I wouldn't pay $100 for it, but then, I wouldn't pay $100 for any movie.  If
you can find it someplace cheaper, watch it; it's decent.

	Strangely enough, this is the only major color work of Shirow
that is missing from his new book - 'Intron Depot'. There are several
other well known 'puma pictures under the Dominion section of the book -
the two catgirls on their motorcycles, the smiling Anna holding the
dirtbike, and one new one I've not seen before. Shirow writes that the
'destructive duo were very important to him...' which is the reason
there are so many illustrations of them.
	He also states that he'd like to continue Dominion. Someday...
Maybe...
	Quite a lot of other work, I've never seen before. Lots of girls
with mecha and guns. Shirow seems to be quite critical of his work in
places - I only wish my artistic skills were that good. <sigh>
	Available at Nikaku now. At your comic book store whenever Dark

Use your common sense Ben,since when did you see spelling a "name" with

Hello... I have been informed that the term "anime" is used instead of
"Japanimation freak".  I am enlightened.

Howdy.  I just found this Newsgroup thanks to someone on rec.arts.animation.
I recently posted two questions.

(1) (answered) What movie did Matthew Sweet use for his latest video, "I've
	Been Waiting", and (unanswered) what company did the film.  Also,
	where can I find a copy?

(2) Which animation company did the 1979 anime version of "The Little Mermaid"?
	I think it might be Tatsunoko, but I'm not sure.  Damn good movie.

If you have the answers to any o' these questions, please let me know via

	The scary thing is that it's well-dubbed, despite the fact that the
company that did the work used only four (count 'em -- FOUR) voice actors.

	For those of you out there who may want to check this out, chances are
that your local Blockbuster outlet has them.  The one here in Urbana carries
four tapes (with five episodes on each) of the show, but there's a glitch on
one of them that makes it unwatchable.  Pretty annoying -- there was supposed
to be a cool episode with a dirigible on that one...  Crud.
