Subject: How to save $$$ going to Bay Area Anime Conventions
Date: 22 Dec 92 02:57:27 GMT
Organization: The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation

Although United Airlines is the OFFICIAL air carrier of Anime Expo, I
found a neat way for all of you fans out there to save money (if you
act quickly).  This strategy applies to any convention that you may be
going to in most sections of the West and South Coast.  Southwest Airlines
is currently running their 2 for 1 savings program.  What this means
is that 2 individuals travel for the price of one.  So if I was
traveling from L.A. and the SW price is $58 for a round-trip from LAX
to Oakland International, my buddy come with me and I pay $29 for the
round-trip.  Same applies in New Orleans or Chicago or anywhere else
that they fly to.  The savings are much larger too!  This also
probably means that you can split the hotel costs down the middle and
save the extra $$$ for the dealers' room.  If you are particularly
generous, then just allow a friend to tag along with you to the
convention.  The catch though is that Southwest will only fly into
major airline hubs, so that means that Oakland and San Francisco
International Airports are to only airports in the Bay Area that they
fly to.  Fans might want to use RAA or JAMO to find out which other
fans are traveling from their region so that they can arrange for
these savings.  Anime Expo had attendees from 38 states plus Puerto
Rico and the District of Columbia.  Odds are that there is another
attendee not too far away from you.  Southwest only flies as far
Northeast as Chicago and as far Southwest as New Orleans, so you New
Yorkers may not get too much in the way of savings.  Our travel Agent
at Ladera Travel told me that these fares will probably be sold out
for the weekend of Expo by February or March.  She also told me that
these fares are fully refundable, so there is no penalty for buying
when your plans are still not set yet!  If you want Ladera Travel to
compare the Southwest Fares for your region against the discounts
offered by United Airlines, just call them at (213)-772-1511.  


Just a thought...

Mike

P.S. You Anime America attendees out there can take advantagoe of this
deal too, but will have to fly into Oakland, BART down to Fremont,
take a bus down to light rail and take the light rail to Santa Clara.
(I think that there is a bus that goes there from BART, but I'm not
quite sure.)

AnimEgo is a disease peculiar to people who subtitle too much.
AnimEigo is just a peculiar company.

Yes, in equally varying quality. But a good solid shelf works just as well,
if not better, unless you have to move your whole collection often.

More importantly, there are a few things to remember when storing tapes of
any kind:

* Keep them in a dry, dust-free area. Nothing will kill a tape faster than
  collecting dust or moisture; and a combination is devestating.

* Store the tape standing on a narrow edge. Stand tapes on any of the 1"
  narrow edges, not "flat". This keeps the tape inside from resting on it's
  edge, which could cause curling and crumpling.

* Fast forward a tape to the end before rewinding it. This helps the tape
  wind on the spools evenly, which helps protect the edges from curling or
  crumpling in storage or if the tape is accidentally dropped.

* Fast forward and rewind tapes that don't get watched often a couple of
  times a year. This will help keep the tape from stretching or sticking to
  itself.

Which ties into another thread on r.a.a, of course....

What do the cover blurbs say for the Animeigo-subtitled OAV's with Akane in
them?  Do they say that Akane is a lesbian?  If so, that probably answers the
question, since Animeigo is usually fairly good about asking the right people
to figure such things out (i.e., asking whether "Larva" was correct in Miyu).

I still haven't seen Castle of Cagliostro in its entirety, but I have seen
this scene, many times over.  One fan-subbed copy uses the same line
("bulletproof tires") and I see nothing wrong with it.  He's commenting on
the same thing, and, IMHO, the latter is a more sensible reaction.

Lupin's voice a perfect match? You've got to be kidding... Or at least 
you haven't had enough exposure to the original actor.  The fact he (english
actor) didn't even understand the range of the original character actor 
(probably didn't even bother watching it) doing Lupin didn't
help things any.

   I've been lurking in the background lately, with nothing really to
add to the conversations here.  I'm just posting this so that people
know that I'm still alive and reading each and every post (except
anything to do with con flamewars).
   Hope everyone had a nice holiday.  I was hoping to track down a
copy of AnimEigo's KOR movie before Christmas, but none of the stores
around here ever got it (amazing, because they got the other four
right on time).  I'm debating whether I should send an order directly
to AnimEigo now, or wait and get the LD.  Perhaps fate is preventing
me from finding a copy of the tape, so that I won't buy it instead of
waiting for the LD.
   I work at a Suncoast Motion Picture Co. store, which stocks some
anime.  However, we have received nothing new in months, even though
our catalog clearly states that we can now order such titles as Grave
of the Fireflies and Area 88 (both USMC).  The assistant manager told
me, regarding anime, that "the novelty has worn off" and that the
videos are no longer selling.  I really hope the popularily of anime
in the U.S. doesn't turn out to be a quick fad, but with the constant
stream of B-grade releases coming out from USMC, Streamline, and
others, I fear anime may return to a 'fan-only' thing sooner than most
of us would like.
   Image has a Gall Force LD slated for next month.
   I recently saw Scramble Wars, the video "for Artmic freaks".  :^)
The OAV has superdeformed versions of Artmic characters getting
together for a big race.  The main players are from Bubblegum Crisis,
Gall Force, and Genesis Surviver Gaiarth, although *many* others pop
up in cameos, like:  Madox-01, Bean Bandit & Rally Vincent, the
Garland motorcycle, even the Mospeada cyclone rider.  Anyone who has
seen way too many Artmic productions should get a good laugh out of
this one.  
   I watched some of Urotsukidoji, and was not disgusted.  That's
probably because I knew much about what to expect before viewing it.
Would anyone mind E-mailing me a quick plot synopsis for parts 1-3?
I'd appreciate it.
   Lots of new manga came out last week, such as Dark Horse's Orion #2
and Viz's Silent Mobius 3.5.  I do hope Viz decides to continue with
SM.  (Anyone know how many volumes there are?)  I'd also like to see
Volumes 1 and 2 reprinted in original black & white format, such as
what they're doing with the Crying Freeman compilations.
   All for now,

Actually, I've had an idea of writing a story about her life after Kyokuse.
I would disagree about Kyokuse always wanting Madoka. 
Alot of times he didn't know what he wanted. Hikaru-chan had the misfortune

I agree with that. I thought they did a very good job of following the
various stages of a break up and recovery. The story had a very strong message
of death -->rebirth and hope for a better future
.. ( A bit Christmas like if you think about it)..

 How do you think I feel. I do think that the power of KOR is that
it applies to all relationships. Putting in high school makes it
higher on the nostaglia/charm list

This may be a stupid question, as I know little about the specific 
technology, but couldn't the problem be just something in the pressing of 
the LDs themselves?  EVeryone keeps talking about the audio masters and
the LD masters but the final step in the process hasn't been brought up.
After hearing all the mess regarding how "rotten" the pressing of the
KOR OAV Box set in Japan was, couldn't this be a possibility?

Howdy everyone.

With a friend, I am thinking about delving into the world of writing anime
fanfic. The idea we've had was to do some stories using Ayukawa and Kyosuke
from KOR after the KOR movie. In other words, at college.

I won't go into what we are thinking of doing, but there is one thing that
has the two of us puzzled, and I'd like to throw it open to net speculation.

It seems very likly to us that Ayukawa would major in Music of some sort. The
question is, what would Kyosuke major in in college? Can anyone provide any
clues, from either manga or anime, as to what type of major would interest him?

I got a chance to look at Carl's Robotech tapes.  The stuff is scary.
He went for literal translations and the subbing was so good that I

Guess what????? Plot of the Fuma Clan is the only "Lupin" film in which there
was a DIFFERENT voice actor.  In that one, the voices for all the characters
were different than all the other Lupin shows (200+ episodes, 7 other films),
Lupin was played by the voice actor who I believe was also Ataru Moroboshi in
UY, but off-hand I can't quite remember

If you want the REAL Lupin voice, try all the films in which Yasuo Yamada
does the voice (and is the only TRUE Lupin voice.).  Believe me, there is
QUITE a difference.  Watch the original Castle Cagliostro, etc, and come 
back again with your opinion.  I have a feeling it won't be quite the 
same.

Ditto. Let's remember that Animag used to be just as "bug-ridden"
during the first couple of issues way-waaaay back. And these guys are
stuck on the PAL side of the fence, so it's not even as easy as in
America to get access to the latest videos.

They're doing far better than I expected them to, in the early issues.
And they're a lot more regular than Animag.

I especially enjoy "different" articles like the visit to HamaCon
report and life in "Cute Country". :)
