I'll definitely be there. Some information from my most recent flyer:

January 15, 16, 17, 1993, from 1:00pm Friday to 6:00pm Sunday, at the
Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers, where it was last year. Ellen Kushner
is the GoH, Charles Lang and Wendy Snow-Lang are the Artist GoHs, and Monty
Wells is the Fan GoH. If you wish to pre-register, the deadline is the 1st
of January, though memberships will be available at the door; both are $40
for the weekend--one-day memberships will probably be available at a
discount.

And, of course, the video and film program will include a selection of
anime and other animation. We regularly acquire AnimEigo titles, as well as
a number of rare and hard to find titles. Anime tends to show up in the
"Open Programming" slots, so ask around.

someone asked what the final thing Professor Breckinridge 'says' is before
the end creits scroll. Looking at the side dialogue, it seems to say:

	1)Kansei da... (I've finished it...)

	2)Soratobu Houki ja... (It's a flying broom...)

	And indeed, what is he doing but straddling a broomstick?

Well, not on official video anyway.  If you have a pen-pal that lives near a
Japan Town that has a TV-video rental, you can get dubs of Ranma 1/2 episodes
that were originally taken off the air.  However, these shops tend to keep the

Note, I'm just an author on R:TM but since I believe Chris Meadows is away
from the nets I'll speak...

R:TM is on hold for now due to break. Chris is still accepting submissions,
etc., but the next segment will not appear until people ie Chris, are back
from Xmas break. All of the current chapters are up on my ftp site the last
being section 3.1. they are misfold.*.Z where * is 1,2, or 3. In the FanFiction
directory.

The last segment came out just before Chris and I (and most likely the rest of
the authors) had our finals, not much time to write. I'm fairly busy at the
moment but I hope to write more in the future. (And finish UF4, and write the
2nd short play, some 'other' projects with Gryphon, more poems... etc etc...)

So you should see more in the future....

I would certainly hope, for fandom's sake, that the hotel would only talk to

When looking closely at the gif of the setup, you can see that it was

In the words of a Japanese girl I talked to recently (who is not into anime):
"If it has English in it, it will be popular and cool..."

A fad.  Japanese pop culture focuses a lot around "multiculturalism" and loves
things European and American.  Non anime songs are subject to the same amount
of English.  Just take a look at J-Pop titles at a CD store.  Lots of romaji 
and outright English.

Hi!  Well, I just digitized a whole slew of Gunbuster Sounds...  They all
come from the "Top O Narae!" CD with 99 Tracks and over 77 minutes of Sound...
Mostly, they're the little tid-bits such as Kazumi screaming "yamete!" and
Noriko saying "Coach!" or phonetically: "co-chi!"  The problem now is where
to put them.  I was just about to upload them to the venice.mps.ohio-state.edu

simply ask for whichever archive wants them... or I'll probably upload them to
ferkel.tcp.com and if Jim doesn't want 'em, he can delete 'em.  Anyway, any

     Nope.  I don't think he was even close to falling for her.

DC>If Ayukawa hadn't called that night, would Kyosuke have snapped out of it
DC>himself and been able to figure out what he really wanted?  

     What he wanted was Madoka.  :)

DC> I think I'll buy the Movie soundtrack so I can be sad every day. 

     Heck, the last track on Loving Heart is bad enough.  :/

DC>hard KOR's movie hits..  quite nostalgic for me in lots of ways..

     The whole series hit close to home.  Not quite in a triangle myself, but
sometimes finding myself wishing I were.

DC>Many years back, he and Madoka (with their 5 children) will probably
DC>look back and wish they had done it less painfully..

     Heh, I was writing a "KOR '92" story where Kyosuke, Madoka and Hikaru
once again meet.  Too bad I stuck it in a password protected archived and
forgot the password.  Maybe another KOR marathon will get my creative juices
flowing.

     Sheesh, I just realized that since I watched the last OVA I've not
watched any KOR.  I'm still too depressed at the fact that I have seen all of
it (unless there IS a "49th episode")...  and want to see MORE!!!!!!

... Ushiko-San!  Wherefore art thou Ushiko-San?!
