In case the title didn't give it away, I got an awful lot of letters
about anime today. Wow, this was a short intro, wasn't it?

Crystalis
|
I work at a video game retailer and noticed in our list of upcoming games
that Crystalis 2 was listed for Gameboy Color. I loved the original on the
NES and I can't wait for this title to arrive. However, except for a little
blurb in one magazine, I have not heard anything else about this game. Do
you have any information, or could you possibly dig up some, about this game
that could ease my mind until it arrives. Some specific questions are: Is
it going to be the exact same game ported to gameboy? Or is it a sequel?
In either case, how much like the original is it going to be?

Googleshng:
No, it's not a sequel, it's just a rerelease. They are however
adding some odd features from what I hear, like digitized speach. Anyone who didn't play
it back in the day should really pick it up now. Oh, and Deja Vu by the way, while not
an RPG really, is being rereleased on the GBC bundled with the previously unreleased
sequel. Unless that's out already. I need a Game Boy.

Well, I never really sent email to you guru people but I saw this when i was surfing just like on
friday...
First, the first volume of the Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD Collection finally has an official
street date. You can now look forward to the disc on May 23rd. Volume 0:1 will contain the first
four episodes, with English, Japanese, Spanish, and French vocal tracks, and English subtitles.
The disc will retail for $29.98.
Is the Neon Genesis Evangelion series good? I've never really seen it. I saw half of the first
episode. I haven't seen much anime and I was looking for a series to start collecting. I'm trying
to get Bubblegum Crisis 2040, which I think is pretty good. Was that a comma splice?
I was also wondering about Grandia and is it really 60 hours? How is Wild Arms? I know this
shouldn't be an issue but are the graphics (still) good?
As well, ADV Films also announced the release of the first volume of Monster Rancher DVD on
April 25th. The disc will contain the first three episodes, and an English vocal track. Retail price
for this one is $24.98. O boy MONSTER RANCHER rules... hehehe

Googleshng:
That's a very good deal. Normally Eva is 2 episodes a tape for
like $25 or $30 a tape. As for whether it's good... well, it's interesting. Basically
Eva is the most popular deep confusing anime I can think of. It's not for everyone, but
a lot of people like it. Plus there's PenPen! Moving along, yeah, 60 hours sounds about
right for Grandia, and WA's graphics... well, they're 16 bit style, but by those standards
I think they're pretty good. Although my little mantra is chibi is good. ^_^

FF6? Well, OK...

hi
i'm playing ff6 on the playstation and as you probably know there is a bonus section that you can
watch, but i have a problem ragarding this, you see i just can't access it from my save on my
memory card, but i can view it without the save but i really want to do it with my save, am i doing
something wrong ? do i have to complete the game first ? you don't have to print this , i just need
an answer.
thanks makkura
|

Googleshng:
The bonus section is basically all or nothing. After you win,
you can a chance to save a special file on your memory card, and THAT lets you watch the
ending, and the opera FMV, and look at all that other stuff.

Escaflowne
|
Dear Googleshng,
After reading your rant yesterday (3/20/00) I thought I should contact you
and apologize for giving you the info I gave to you concerning Escaflowne, as
I had not given the proper resources to the articles on the web. I went and
looked up the sites that had the news concerning the American broadcast of
Escaflowne and the first mention I received was from Planet Namek.com. They had wrote:
Thursday - 03/16/2000
"Mr.E @ 07:25 PST - Cartoon Network is on the Right Track...
AnimeFan has received some more juicy details regarding anime on Cartoon
Network. Here's an excerpt:
Gundam Wing may not be the only Bandai title to hit the airwaves. Both Cowboy
BeBop and Escaflowne are on the Cartoon Network's "possibilities" list, and
they plan on discussing the idea further with Bandai. Mr. Akins said that
both Cowboy BeBop and Escaflowne are "cool shows, but content makes
broadcasting them prohibitive." Thus, if they are shown, they'll also need a
nice amount of editing...
Finally, look for a possible run of anime movies shown as part of Toonami, as
well as an all day "Toonami takes over the Cartoon Network" marathon later in
the year.
They go on to mention that the Tenchi OVA will be severly edited (though a
not-so-edited version will appear late-night like Gundam W), and that new
episodes of Sailor Moon will be arriving in about a month. I am really
excited about Escaflowne and the possibility of anime movies being aired on
CN...hell, we might even see AKIRA (I hope in its unedited glory). At least
Cartoon Network has finally moved away from its days of airing "Godzilla,"
and "Hong Kong Phooey" ^_^. "
Which came from AnimeFan Online
- News Service. Later on that day P
lanet Namek.com, posted:
Thursday - 03/16/2000
"Mr.E @ 17:52 PST - A Correction...
It seems that FOX will be getting Escaflowne, and not Cartoon Network. Here's
the press release:
The North American Fox Television Networks, Fox Kids segment, announced today
that it will be adding the following Sunrise / Bandai Anime TV series' in
it's 2000-2001 Saturday morning line-up:
The Vision Of Escaflowne - Shoji Kawamori's masterpiece, currently released
in the U.S. by Bandai Entertainment. Hitomi, a school girl has visions of
looming disaster in her future, the swordsman, Van, transports her to the
fantasy world of Gaea, where apparent love, fortunes, life and death are at
stake, and soldiers battle in "suits of armor" style "mobile suits"
Hmm...anime besides Digimon on FOX...that will be interesting to see... ^_^"
I'm sorry that I failed to give more accurate information. Right now I am
trying to find out where the FOX press release was posted so you can see it
yourself. also I must agree with your rant that Escaflowne will most likely
be butchered to be released on the American airwaves.
Again, I apologize for the lack of giving complete references and I only
contacted you about this matter because I knew from your post at RPGamer.com
that you liked the series.
thank you for your time in reading this,
Nathan A. T.

Googleshng:
Heh. I still don't believe that's going to happen. If you want
to know why, I explained it on my
page, it's the current rant unless you're digging through old archives. That's a lot
of links.

Secret Anime
|
Hey, Goog-meister!
I was running this program called "PSmplay" (downloaded it from www.zophar.net ) to view the FMVs on some of
my PSX CDs on my computer, and while checking out the 2nd disc of Xenogears, I came across an FMV that
NEVER APPEARS IN THE GAME. It struck me as odd as it was the 3rd-largest file on the disc! If you get a
chance to check it out, could you tell me just WHAT that FMV is?
Oh, and if you need help, here's how to get PSmplay to actually PLAY the FMVs:
1) Obviously, you need to download and run PSmplay with Xenogears disc 2 in your CD-ROM drive.
2) Go to "Analyze CD-ROM" in the File menu.
3) Click "Okay" and wait a few minutes.
4) Save the .psm index file on your comp somewhere.
5) Go back to the File menu and select "Open Analyze CD data", then open the .psm file you just saved.
6) VIOLA! Now you can play the FMVs on your comp! To open the FMV I was talking about above, just select
the file with the 3rd-largest number (Should be around 20,000 or so.)
Thanks!

Googleshng:
Well, I can't investigate this because nobody has ever given
me a link to a Mac program than can rip movies out of PSX games, but I do know there's
a spiffy little FMV scene hidden on Disk 2 if you do the secret optional lighthouse fun.
Could that be what you're thinking of perhaps?

I'm glad SOMEONE caught it.

Gooo-How's it going with Perl?-gle GuYGirL.
Speaking of Amano sempai. Isn't it hilarious how a lot of words get lost
in American Subtitling of Anime? I mean, this may be minor, but for a simple
example in Escaflowne. They may say, Van Fanel who is the king of Fanelia.
And It will only say, King Van. Or something odd like that. Even more minor,
but sometimes funny. They show American's Amano sempai means "Captain Amano".
But noo, Hitomi will scream that out a million times, and it just says,
"Amano!". Oh well, same thing with "Baka" I guess. It's always better than
dubbing, I must admit. The rumors are still going about the Escaflowne Movie
coming out. I hear it's going to be cruddy. It's ignoring the story line and
changing things that happened. [Like Record of Lodoss Wars: TV Series, only
it's not going to be as good. ;>] If you'd like, I can send you a link later
to the site. Ooh. Oooh. Speaking of movies coming to America, I heard
Spriggan is actually a consideration into our theatres as well as Good ol'd
Vampy D. [Man I love that PSX game.] For all of you who don't know Yu Omanae,
Spriggan #1. It was a manga over here called "Stryker". It's his story and
based on Noah's Ark and such other things with military experts. Perfect
motion work with cells and artistry, and a great soundtrack to boot. Ok ok,
I'm just talking too much. Bye bye!

Indeed, part of the fun of watching subtitled anime is correcting
the bizzarre mistakes made by the translators. Amano Sempai = Captain Amano, but Sempai
= Amano? That's just plain weird. Now then, what's this about a VHD PSX game?
