SOMEWHAT NEWS -- NEW SERIES IN JAPAN
(Not to be used for commercial purposes)
Bishojou Senchi Cowgirl Ed: Ed gets her own show where she
wanders the solar system in her own spaceship, occasionally transforming
into a dress-wearing hacker of justice. Episode one: she mistakes
Chibi Usa for a lump of taffy.
Unmei no Salaryman: Sometimes, there's just a man to sort things
out. He's not a good guy. He's not a bad guy. He's just an office
worker with a mean left hook and a briefcase full of cheap sample calculators.
Cabbit's Scar: If you eat the flesh of the cabbit, you will live
forever. But can you live forever with yourself? And your insatiable
hunger for carrots? Meow.
Last Line Mechanical Defense Shaft: Osaka 2135. Crime
has reached such a level that the Osaka police have no choice but to clone
the legendary crimefighter John Shaft on top of a cyborg skeleton in order
to show criminals who really is in charge. But can they deal with
unleashing the 'borg that gets all the chicks?
Record of Lodoss Fugitive: Deedlit is dead, victim of a one-armed
Dark Elf, but no one will believe Parn. After escaping from a dungeon
in Flaim, can Parn find the Dark Elf with one arm and clear his name?
The Men In Charge: Hijinks ensue when a dying Japanese millionaire's
barely audible last wish is interpreted to be that an unknown West Coast
rap group should be in charge of his demon-fighting army.
The Young Fujisawa Chronicles: Before he became a lush and a schoolteacher,
who was Fujisawa? For the first time, see the young man who became
the hero of Roshtaria.
Hyper Future Fascist: A young man who wears panties and fantasizes
about being a Nazi is given control of a giant robot...wait, that's Detonator
Orgun.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW --
No manga reading tomorrow. Not enough time. Sorry.
There will be one by the week after.
You have a week to tell us where you want to live for Katsucon. If
you don't, we'll make up your mind for you.
T-shirts will be $7-$10 according to our accountants. We will have
a size sign-up sheet. Signing up for this is tantamount to saying
that you want to buy a shirt. Not signing up will probably mean you're
not buying a shirt. Please sign up then.
Poll Question:
What is your "lesson of the day"?
Quasi-Trivia Questions:
Easy -- Better styling: Vicious or Touga?
Hard -- Describe a date between Rally Vincent and Spike Spiegel.
Who pays? Who drives? Who takes out the thugs in the alley?
Will Spike be introduced to Rally's family of Satmer Chasidim, of which
she is the black sheep? (Just so you know, Spike and Rally are both Jewish.
They used to be Pinchas Spiegel and Rifka Zuckerman, respectively.)
