and if you haven’t read hayao miyazaki’s nausicaa manga yet, you’re beyond help anyway… ^_^

little bit of manga news:
read shadow star (by Mohiro Kitoh). excellent. odd. cute. dark. irritating.
also very good is short program (by Mitsuru Adachi): excellent human short stories.
if you simply want to be entertained, and liked “initial d”, try harlem beat (by yuriko nishiyama).

also saw #1 of “brigadoon” at our reading anime society meeting. uhm… interesting. definitely interesting (& odd (& good))

watched the 1st episode of “noir”. great anime w/ girls & guns. even better than i expected it to be. thanks, valerie!

ADV (partly) financed the new kenshin OVA, so there should be no trouble in releasing that soon, yes?

seems that fansubs are dying. this is not a good thing(tm). causes are quick pick-up by US-companies (good) and digisubs (bad). instead of hoarding digisubs onto your hdd and cdrs, buy the dvds!
