Excuse me? $34.95 for TWO OAVs??? Up here, ALL the AnimEigo tapes run at 
upwards of $50! ALL the BGC and BGC! tapes are either $49.95 or $54.95, 
Riding Bean is $49.95, etc. If you're lucky, you MAY be able to find a 
non-Maceked anime video for $44.95, but that's REALLY pushing it. Mata ne.

    Fairly simple....A guy named Miyazaki(no relation to Hayao Miyazaki) committed some rather nasty murders of several young girls. He was a big collecter
of Pornographic manga and so the press jumped on this as some sort of sign that
all Otaku were sickos. Though this occured a few years ago, it still has attched
a bad social stigma to being an Otaku. It's kind of like how the press reacts
whenever a player of D&D does something antisocial.

Reply-To: wallacen@ColoState.EDU
Organization: Colorado State University -=- Computer Science Dept.

Hello, everyone, this is my first post on this newsgroup. I am a cs graduate
student at CSU in snowy colorado (blizzard currently going on outside...) who
has been into anime and manga for about seven years. I have only been following
this newsgroup for about two months, so what I'm about to say may be old news;
if so, apologies in advance!

I was happily reading the ST:TNG Technical Handbook last week, and was amused by
all the pseudo-technical jargon (I have background in physics and chemistry) and
made-up names for substances and alloys. Suddenly, one caught my attention on
page 92, lower left column, 

"..................molded POLYKEIYURIUM................"

Now, I'll buy coincidence only so far. Either Okuda or Sternbach (or both) is
clearly an anime/manga fan!  I find it amusing that the pair has actually become
a part of the pseudo-reality of another cult phenomenon (trekkers please excuse
me :):):) !)

I later found this "substance" mentioned again, as well as an alloy called "gulium
animide".

Maybe the Captain's Yacht is named the "Lovely Angel"....

Until later....

Mark Chilenskas at chilenskas@Office.wang.com provided a few additional tips on
modelling resin kits.
I have to dissagree a a few(no flame intended :-))
#1 AAAKKK, using a W&N seires 7 brush can get you exquisite lines, but... you
cna get the same results with other W&N brushes without have to resort to the
GOD OF BRUSHES. BTW if you treat them right seres & brushes should last a
lifetime.
#2 There are hobby sanding sticks you can get in many grades of surface. No I
am not talking about the cappy one that come in all sorts of shapes and fall
apart the first time you use them. The ones I am talking about are from a
company/Hobby supplyer called SENTAI.
#3 or best priming results use an airbush, you get a smoother surface than from
erosol cans.
#4 I agrree here
#5 Gee I alway thought oils were the easyest to blend. Also thin all acrilics
wiht Isopropanal Alchol, it cuts the paint better, and helps eliminate bubbles.
I thinkusing too much coour(IE Borus Valljeho(?)) is not too anime like.
Remeber, that are mostly based on Animated CHaracters.
#6 ON the nose there
#7 Use the airbrush again.
Hope this helps anyone interested in doing a more advanced job on there kit. I
don't reccoomend the above to Beginners, especially airbrushing, Godd
airbushing takes a lot of practice.

   Heh.  Actually, I went to the local rental place here in Takadanobaba,
and they have almost NO UY videos at all.  Just a few of the TV shows.
Sigh.  If I can find a used copy cheap, I may buy it.  If things work out,
I may consider showing some of the commercially subbed Lum at Minicon, but
I have no idea whether #2 or #4 will be ready by then.  I may even be
talked into having Manie Manie, Angel's Egg, and UY #2 and #4
back-to-back.

Hey kids....this is kinda like a follwup to my previous two posts:

1)  In RANMA 1/2, who is P-Chan?  I've only seen eps. 1-9 so far, and I think
that P-Chan is that little black pig that Ryoga turns into, but I'm not sure...
anyone??

2)  I've only seen 3 episodes of DIRTY PAIR, but don't know the numbers.  I can
describe them for you, and see if any ring a bell:

	A)  Kei and Yuri are shipped off to  planet Vega in order to retrieve
	    some valuable poker chip from a gangster for the 3WA.  Inside, they
	    meet a servant named Sydney, who is also masquerading as the
	    gangster's (old woman!) psychic advisor.

	B)  While on vacation, die Angels are attacked (without the Lovely
	    Angel!) by a toxic waste station programmed to kill them by a drug
	    addict before he died, because the Angels destroyed the supplier of
	    the drug that he needed.

	C)  Yuri recieves a message form old flame "Billy," and Kei calls in a
	    request for the rescue mission herself.

That's all for now.  Thanx ahead of time.....

<sigh> "aaaaah hate youse..." :)

The CHEAPEST (ie. cheapest model) LD player here in Australia is about
US$600. Might be worth buying one in the US next year and bringing it
back. :)

Subject: Re: why DOESNT carl macek care about us?
 <1eo42sINNorr@bigboote.WPI.EDU> <lh16c4INNlm1@priddy.cs.utexas.edu>

Enough whining about why Unca Carl doesn't love us, or what he thinks. He could
 care less about us, and thinks very little if at all.

Proposition: Let's let Carl fly over the edge.

No joke.

The man is already displaying classic symptoms of instablity. Erratic behavior.
 Short temper. Self-destructive rants. Denial. Delusions of persecution.
 Delusions of grandeur.

If anything goes wrong down at Streamline in the next 6 months or so, I predict
 that Carl the Razor will have a nervous breakdown.

So, go ahead, send him nasty letters. Call him day in and day out. Tell him the
 truth, that he really isn't a artist, and he's leaving a legacy of wretched
 butchered hacks, that will sit forever in the $6 EP sale bins at K-Mart from
 Here to eternity, always blocking quality versions from legally entering the
 market.

Hmm. This suggestion is probably illegal as hell, and could get the net in
 trouble. Please do not bother Macek like this. You could get arrested for
 harrassment, and I could get in trouble for advocating a felony.

I REPEAT, DO NOT  DO THE PROCEEDING, IT IS ILLEGAL.

But, boy, it is evil, enjoyable fantasy.
