There are two Ranma 1/2 games for the Gameboy (a new one just came
out), there is one for the Super Famicom (US- Super Nintendo), and
there are three games for the PC Engine (US- TurboGrafx-16).

The PC Engine Ranma 1/2 games are CD-ROM, and the newest game is a
Super CD game, using the new System 3.0 card. The PC Engine games
can be used in the TurboGrafx, except for the newest game unless
you get an adaptor to use the System 3.0 card, or wait until the US
version comes out, or wait for the TurboGrafx Duo console.

Sherlock Hound is great, YES!  I have 11 episodes taped off Montreal TV.
Even though they're in French, they're still great fun to watch;  unfortunately, I only have 3 Miyazaki episodes, none of which came from Montreal.  (that's what happens when I find out about it halfway through :()

But before I seem *too* upset, when I watched these non-Miyazaki episodes, I realized that Miyazaki was not the only great person working on  the show:  the episodes are consistently funny and exciting.  And the Pagot brothers' character designs are some of the best I've ever seen--they may be canine, but they're matched up *extremely* well with the personalities of their respective characters.

But still, I have to believe that Miyazaki played a great part in the conception of the series (I can imagine him in a staff meeting:  "Planes!  Neat Victorian machines!  More planes!")

Too bad about the dirigible episode;  I have that one, and it's COOL!  Moriarty whips out this neat steam-powered jet pack!
 
And have you noticed that Inspector LeStroud IS Inspector Zenigata, equally stressed out?!

I suspect he'll just use the Island World subtitled version.  I've had that

These two could be compiled into an ANIME DICTIONARY, similar to the ANIME
PRIMER, but with more entries.  I've toyed with the idea since I realized
there is Locality of Reference (LOR) in rec.arts.anime.  LOR is a mathematical
term  used to describe a situation where most references to a set (anime
features) are circumscribed within a smaller subset.  In other words, we
only need to write entries for a small subset of all anime features to cover
most queries.

	Nah, my point was that, in the Japanese LD release of the film (with
Japanese subtitles), they never used the stupid names.  AND they botched one
of the films best lines (well, at least the way the Japanese translated it)!
Just before Jeff is blinded, the bad guy tells him and Lee to drop their guns.
The cop does so, then looks over to Jeff, saying, "Don't worry.  I always have
a friend behind me."  THAT'S why Jeff looks over and does what he does.  I
thought that was pretty cool, personally.
	Heck, you oughta see what what the Japanese did when they subtitled
Highlander for theatrical release.  Actually, I _am_ glad that they used the
european version with the missing scene.  It was cool, and explained a few
things, too boot.

 All the Japanese KOR disk that I seen have this kind of cover.  "Hawaiian
 Suspense" had Madoka with nothing but a towel.  "White Lovers" had a picture
 of Madoka in a skiing suit opened up at the front with nothing underneath.
 The cover seem inappropriate for the series; I have gotten comments asking
 if the LD was about kinky sex.  Then again, may be the covers are scenes
 from the goofy wet dreams that Kyosuke keeps getting.

Yes, the prices for anime really are that high.  Probably some dealers
overprice their stuff, but in general, something like $30.00 for a CD
is not unusual for a Japanese import.

The reason?  Prices are really that inflated in Japan, and the poor
dollar/yen ratio doesn't help.  Add in import costs, and the end 
result is that the dealers over here aren't really making that much.

This probably wasn't what you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps
regardless...

Actually, didn't that segment say he just died?

The Grand Duke, the Tsar's brother, was head of the White Army when
the two Revolutions came around.  As a result, he escaped the fate of
the rest of the Royal family.  I think he briefly joined the "Whites"
during the Russian Civil War, and later escaped to the West.

It's dead.  Has been for quite a few years.  No money, I believe was
the big reason.  So Carl's pet project went belly-up.  [We'll pause a
moment as all the anti-Macek-ists cheer uproarously.]  If you want
fuller details, read Robotech Art 3: The Sentinels.  But suffice it to
say it is no longer in production and it is *highly* doubtful it will
be ever go back into production.  You can buy the Robotech II: The

What type of city is Mega-Tokyo?  I never seem to hear the word "Japan"
mentioned, which makes me wonder if the city is autonomous.

Also, the wide variety of names in BGC makes me wonder if it's an
international city, with no more Japanese than any other nationality.
The Knight Sabers seem to count among their numbers an Englishwoman
(Celia Stingray, yes I know the spelling's wrong, but it's English that
way), a Russian (Nene Romanova), a Japanese lady (Prisia Arigari, or
is that just nonsense).  Leon, Quincy, and Brian are also hardly oriental
names.  In fact, I can't think of a Japanese name in BGC, offhand.

(What's Linna's full name?  Linna Agechau?)
