@node Intro "Introduction"

This is my attempt at crosslinking most of my disk-based anime
information.  Rather than having several disks full of files with
redundant information, I hope to have one excessively large hypertext
index linking relevant data together.

This file is comprised of information taken from the Anime Pocket
Guide (see the @{"Bibliography" link "Biblio"}), plus some Usenet posts, linked together
where possible.  I expect to be adding more as time goes by.

I expect other people will find this Index useful even in its
incomplete form (will it ever be finished?  I doubt it), so I'm
making it available to anyone who wants it.  Distribute away.

There are two versions of this file in existence:  one is in
AmigaGuide; the other is on the Internet as a World Wide Web page, at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/anime/anime.guide.main.html.

There will be a DOS or Windows version of this available whenever I find
the time.  Maybe a Mac one too, if possible.

Comments, suggestions, requests and so on can be sent to me at:

  out; to survive until your term is up; or escape.  This is a
  gritty, action-oriented series with accurate depictions of
  military aircraft and associated hardware.  Note that the movies

@node ADP "AD Police"
AD Police (OAVs)  Genre: Science Fiction

Anime Pocket Guide Description: (by Tom Jewell)
  This is an OAV series concentrating on the AD Police first seen
  in "@{"Bubble Gum Crisis" link "BGC"}", a few years before the first appearance
  of the Knight Sabers.  The stories have the AD Police dealing
  with more mundane crimes and more thought provoking conflicts.
  A common character with "@{"Bubble Gum Crisis" link "BGC"}" is a young Leon
  McNichol.
    File 1: Leon is fighting against a prostitute Booma.  Severely
      injured, he defeats it.  The Booma returns to his life when
      its parts are reused and she (it?) begins killing her
      clients.
    File 2: This is a "what makes us human" story when a series of
      "Jack the Ripper" style slayings take place.
    File 3: A story dealing with our own humanity as a police
      officer is turned into a 'Robocop' type of Booma...replacing
      everything except his brain and tongue.

@node GenjiTsushin "Genji Tsushin Agedama"
Genji Tsushin Agedama (TV)  Genre: Comedy

Cast:
  Agedama ................................... Nozomu Sasaki
  Ibuki .................................. Kotono Mitsuishi

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  Agedama is a small boy going to elementary school and having the
  usual problems for a boy of his age.  He is also secretly a
  superhero-in-training (called "Agedaman").  Along with Wapuro,
  his floating computer companion, he fights against a criminal
  organization who can turn humans into monsters of various types.
  This is *not* a series to be taken seriously...they extensively
  parody the superhero genre as well as other anime including
  "Lupin III: Cagliostro Castle" (many scenes from the movie were
  followed almost exactly!) and "@{"Sailor Moon" link "SailorMoon"}" (Ibuki-chan turned
  into a 'bishoujo senshi').  Besides, where else can you find
  adversaries like a word processor (Wapuro) vs. a PC (PC-ro)? :-)

@node Akira "Akira"
Akira (FILM)  Genre: Science Fiction

Cast:
  Tetsuo .................................... Nozomu Sasaki
  Kai ....................................... Takeshi Kusao

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  Neo-Tokyo is gearing up for the Olympics which will be held
  there.  These events mean little to Kaneda and his motorcycle
  gang.  Their goal in life is to have a good time, without
  getting into any *real* trouble.  However, trouble finds them
  as one of the bikers, Tetsuo, 'runs into' a psychic kid and is
  taken away.  Kaneda finds that this is all linked to a dark
  mysterious secret called 'Akira'.  The plot is somewhat
  confusing, but this is one of the most technically impressive
  anime movies to date.
  NOTE: The "Akira Production Report" is a 'Making of...' video
	that shows some behind-the-scenes stuff of the "Akira"
	movie.

US Release by: Streamline Pictures (dubbed)

  Captain Napolipolita ...................... Shuichi Ikeda
  Spy-D ...................................... Tessho Genda
  Raiza Chichi (A-Ko the Vs: Blue Side) ..... Saeko Shimazu

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  Take a school classroom.  Add one poetry spouting teacher.  Add
  a brilliant student (B-Ko).  Add two new students, one who can
  destroy whole armies with her strength and another who can
  destroy whole armies with her crying and cooking.  Now, create
  a rivalry between A-Ko and B-ko over getting to be C-Ko's friend.
  Add an invading alien force and you've got a parody taking aim
  at many anime cliches.  Overall, it was very funny, though some
  parts were better than others. "A-Ko the Versus" placed A-Ko and
  B-Ko as bounty hunters trying to rescue C-Ko.

Anime Pocket Guide Description: (by Hitoshi Doi)
  One day, Keiichi, a student at Nekomi Institute of Technology
  (or NIT) was in his dorm because his sempai told him to wait for
  a phone call.  While waiting, he got hungry, so Keiichi called
  out for some food.  He dialed the wrong number and got the
  "Goddess Helpers" office instead.  A young cute goddess named
  Belldandy appear out of the mirror and said "Our job is to help
  people who are in trouble, like you.  I can grant you one wish,
  no matter what it is...".  Keiichi said "I want you to stay for-
  ever".  The wish was approved.  Unfortunately, Keiichi lives in
  a men-only dorm, so he got thrown out when his sempai returned.
  Keiichi's friends didn't let him in either, so he and Belldandy
  finally settled in an old temple...

Appleseed (OAV)  Genre: Science Fiction

Cast:
  Hitomi ...................................... Mayumi Shoo

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  In the futuristic metropolis of Olympus, a terrorist action is
  taking place.  Handling the situation is ESWAT, a special branch
  of the Olympus Police Dept.  Through the tense situation, ESWAT
  prepares to neutralize the terrorists.  Finally, ESWAT strikes
  and kill or capture all but one of the terrorists.  Along the
  way, we're introduced to two ESWAT members: Deunan Nut and
  Briareos Hecatonchires.  They are 2 outsiders who joined ESWAT
  for lack of anywhere else to go.  The OAV tells a story of a
  terrorist plot to take over Gaia...the central computer running
  Olympus.  The plot involves a disillusioned ESWAT officer and
  the terrorist who got away and Hitomi, Deunan's bioroid friend
  who is used as a pawn to gain access to Gaia.
								
  NOTE: The OAV is based on the manga "Appleseed" by Masamune
    Shirow.  The manga is full of rich character development and
    background.  Unfortunately, none of this was shown in the OAV.
    We got a simple police vs. terrorist story filled with lots of
    action, but was pretty pointless.  It was interesting to see
    how many English words were misspelled, though... :-)

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  In Thrace, Arion is taken from his mother Demeter by the god
  Hades.  In the Underworld, Arion is trained to be a warrior. His
  training is driven by revenge: Arion was told that his mother's
  blindness was caused by Zeus and Zeus' death will remove the
  curse.  Finally, Arion and Geedo (a huge ape-like creature who
  had become Arion's friend and companion) left the Underworld to
  find Zeus.  Seneca, a small thief, makes off with Arion's sword
  and this leads Arion to his first encounter with the forces of
  Zeus, commanded by his daughter Athena.  Arion is captured but
  is later set free by Lesfeena, Athena's mute serving girl.  As
  Arion rejoins Geedo and Seneca (and worries about Lesfeena), the
  forces of Zeus and Poseidon face each other in battle.  In the
  background sits the scheming Hades, and the calm Apollon who
  seems to have plans of his own.  The setting of this movie was
  based on Greek Mythology and the story is of epic stature.  The
  complex plot takes a while to unravel, but the storytelling is
  excellent.

  It's about a boy, Kakeru, and a magical, pony-like creature, Blue Blink,
  and their adventures through a Wonderland-like dimension in pursuit of

@node CreamLemon "Cream Lemon"
Cream Lemon (OAVs)  Genre: Miscellaneous

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  This is an anthology series where the overriding common theme is
  SEX!  The series has ranged from soap opera (the Ami series) to
  fantasy (Rall series) to horror (Cream Lemon Dark) to outright
  parody (Pop Chaser).  The various episodes have nothing in
  common with each other (aside from episodes in a mini-series)
  except the requirement to have at least one sex act.  In terms
  of plot, that ranges from the very bad to mediocre.  In most
  cases, the sex is totally unnecessary to the plot (such as it is)
  but you couldn't call it a "Cream Lemon" if you took it out...
  NOTE: "@{"Project A-ko" link "A-ko"}" started as a "Cream Lemon", but the comedy
    overwhelmed the sex.  The only artifact of "A-ko"'s origins is
    the B-ko pool scene...
  NOTE: Since this is such an inconsistent series plotwise, any
    particular episode will depend heavily on personal taste. With
    that in mind, I'll omit the usual rating with the caveat that
    sex is *guaranteed* to be a part of any "Cream Lemon" OAV...

shielded.  In carries two missile bays carrying 30+ missiles per

augment his martial arts abilities through it.  The tank is very
heavily plated to withstand many missile hits.

Zefa - The standard issue green humanoid mecha used by the aliens.

  The body-conscious girl Reiko Mikami was the head of the GS
  office with Tadao Yokoshima as her assistant.  Yokoshima worked
  at the GS office for only Y250/hour (about 2 dollars!).  The
  reason he worked so cheaply was because he wanted to work with
  Reiko.  His dream was to see Reiko naked.  Also on the team was
  Okinu-chan who worked for only Y30/day (yes, that's 22 cents a

Goshu the Cellist (FILM)

From Walter M. Amos (amos@CCWF.CC.UTEXAS.EDU)

  The art style looks very similar to that in @{"Omoide Poroporo" link "Omoide"}, so I
  think Miyazaki et al.  have something to do with it.

  Briefly it is about a cellist (Goshu) in the local orchestra and he
  is trying to learn to properly play their Beethoven repertoire.  At
  night when he practices at home a menagerie of various animals pop in
  and try to give him various advice on how the music should sound.
  (The cat which first appears had me rolling on the floor with his
  Japanese-interpreted-through-cat
  vocal-chords-trying-to-pronounce-Beethoven...he looks at a picture of
  Ludwig and says (in my best phoenetic type interpretation) "ahhh!
  Loo-hu-week fan Bay-hay toe-fehhnn!")

  I found it to be a lovely and lyrical little piece.  And of course
  the background music, all lovely-lovely-Ludwig-van helped a lot.

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  After the Earth is devastated by nuclear war, society breaks
  down into a system where only the strong survive.  Often, there
  are raids on normal people when 'the strong' decide that they
  need something.  Into this desolate world comes Kenshiro, master
  of the Hokuto Shinken style of martial art.  This style destroys
  the body from within by striking at one of the numerous
  acupuncture points.  Kenshiro is a wanderer on a quest to find
  his lost love Yuria...taken from him in a battle with Shin long
  ago.  The battle left Kenshiro with scars in the pattern of the
  Big Dipper.  During his wanderings, Kenshiro defends the victims
  of 'the strong' for he is pledged by his art to defend the weak.
  Kenshiro is an extremely honorable, though somber man...almost
  the archtype of the tragic hero.  The series is high in the
  amount of gore created, but the strong central characters seem
  to rise above that in audience appeal...

  The series follows the Silver Castle team, led by the baseball-

  the obstacles that they have to overcome.  A mix between an
  shounen action series and a sports series, "Iron Leaguer" works

@node Kabuto "Raven Tengu Kabuto"
Raven Tengu Kabuto (OAV)

From: Ralph Jenkins (m0336@tnc.UUCP)

Just picked up a copy of Dark Image Entertainment/L.A.  Hero's
subtitled version of the latest Buichi Teresawa manga to go OAV,
Raven Tengu Kabuto.  For those who aren't familiar with Terasawa,
some of his other works are Space Cobra and Midnight Eye: Gokuu.  I
believe Kabuto is the first anime adaptation of his work that he was
involved in personally.  The tape is in the same format as U.S.
Renditions' older releases: that is, it's subtitled and comes in a
clamshell case.  DIE, like USR, is a division of Books Nippan;
however, DIE specializes in more 'mature' anime, or titles that are
not suitable for children.  Kabuto is the first release under this
label.

Kabuto attempts to combine two radically different genres: Japanese
mythology and cyberpunk (whoa!).  The story is very simple.  Kabuto,
a mysterious samurai, arrives in a new village, and must immediately
rescue a captured princess from the castle of an evil sorceress.
Okay...standard samurai movie fare.  *Then* we get an intelligent
robot assassin, a mechanical horse, a *flying* house, and replicants
out of Blade Runner.  Once the heavy metal music starts, you *know*
you're in for one confused OAV!

But does it work?  In my opinion, it doesn't.  The story is all
formula, regardless of the futuristic elements tossed in.  It's not
clear *why* we have two different time periods existing at once,
unless one bad guy in particular is *that* smart.  Still, I don't buy
it.  Kabuto is a difficult anime to swallow.  Another gripe: The
character designs are not distinctive enough; a lot of the characters
tend to look too similar.  Also, the running time given on the
package is 45 mins., which is misleading because there are ten
minutes of credits at the end (including a why-is-this-here sequence
showing highlights from the video).  The anime is 35 mins.  long,
tops.
 
The verdict:
 
If you can overlook the cliched plot and suspend all disbelief, the
animation is of good quality in general, and very good in some
sequences.

To wrap this up, although this is the first release under the DIE
label, there isn't much in way of mature content, really.  There's a
little blood, and a couple of nude scenes.  This is not something to
show during family hour, to be sure, but it's relatively tame as far
as anime horror goes.

               "30 years of peace has come to an end. 
             Once again, war clouds hang over Lodoss..."

The peace of Lodoss island was obtained through the noble sacrifice
of the heroes who challenged the demons of darkness.  But now, 30
years later, with renewed evil ambition, the Marmoian emperor Beld
has begun his attack.  Here, a new record of war unfolds...

				*  *  *

              The Evil Figure Hiding in Lodoss' History

     "Record of Lodoss War" is not simply a record of a war.  It
takes place in a war-torn world, with heroes who earnestly believe in
justice and who rely on their own inner strength.  It is also an epic
describing the growth of these characters.
     The story starts out with a goblin invasion of the hero Pern's
home village of Zaxon where most of the villagers are massacred.  To
the people of Lodoss who haven't seen war since the last battle with
demons 30 years ago, this was a totally unthinkable event.
     Pern, who's father served as a holy knight in Vallis, wonders
about the unusual disaster, "Now, something is about to happen to
this island." Pern and his friends, Eto, a Fallis Shinto priest (i.e.
cleric) who is also Pern's childhood friend, Slain, a magician known
within the village of Zaxon, and Gim, a dwarf warrior, set out to
find the cause of the unusual events.  The truth is, at that time,
evil ambition covered the island of Lodoss.  Beld, the emperor of
Marmo, the island of darkness, set out to conquer Lodoss.
     It was really a bolt from the blue.  Kanon's stronghold, Shining
Hill, as well as Alan, the capital of the "Millenium" kingdom Alania,
easily fell to the Marmoian forces.
     Beld gloats over the success of his battle plan.  However, he
was formerly one of the seven heroes who fought the demon-gods to the
end.  Why would one of those heroes (do something like this)...?
What in the world could have made him give up his hero's name/title?
[I think this has the connotation:  what could have turned him from
good to evil?] That is a puzzle noone can figure out.  Also, wherever
the Marmoian army goes, the enemy's resistance is utterly destroyed
by the grey witch Karra's mighty magic.  Undoubtedly, she holds the
key to part of this mystery.
     On their way to the fortress Mice, Pern and company (which now
includes Deedlit the elf and Woodchuck the thief) run into Karra when
they happen to rescue Vallis' queen, Fianna, whom Karra is trying to
kidnap.
     As the story goes on, the battle between Karra and Pern's group
and the battle between the Marmoian army and the Vallis army that's
trying to stop them continue.  In the process, Pern and his friends
will really grow/mature.  Also, an unexpected truth in Lodoss'
history will be revealed.

[Sorry for not breaking up all the relative clauses into separate
 sentences.  I hope the english doesn't sound too awkward.  Also, I'm
 sure I spelled some of the names wrong since I don't know the
 official spellings.

From: Chadwick Ngan (chadwick@world.std.com)

   The first 8 episodes of the OVA followed rather closely to the
events happening in the first novel.  There are, of course, some
editorial changes during transition to the silver screen.

   The next 2 OVA episodes follows volume 3-4 of the novels somewhat
loosely.  The basic plots is more or less the same, but there are
many changes as well, since the OVA involves only one cast, Parn and
co.  The novel, on the other hand, spend considerate pages on new
characters other than Sheris and Orson.

   By episode 11-13, the OVA differed from volume 6-7 of the novels
so much that only the concept remains the same.  Basically they took
the idea from the RPG replay and made it evolve around the OVA cast.
The novels, by this time, concentrates on a different group of
people, with Parn and others playing a supportive role.

   One thing of interest is that the last volume [7] of the novel
were not in print when the OVA series was concluded.  In a sense the
OVA is ahead of the events depicted by the novel, even though they
both stem from the same RPG replay.

   Finally, the OVA crammed everything into a time span of no more
than 2 years, whereas the same story is told over a period of 13+
years in the novels.  Parn actually mature into somebody respectable
there.  This difference in time also presented a difficulty to the
character designers, when they wondered how they are going to make a
"Knight of Lodoss" image out of a 20 years-old fool.  :)

@node Goldfish "Goldfish Warning!"
Goldfish Warning! (TV)

alternate title: Kingyou Chuuihou!

The series is called Kingyou Chuuihou!  which translates as Goldfish
Warning!  [as in Hurricane Warning :-)] The author is Nekobe Neko.  Up
to recently Goldfish Warning!  was in Nakayoshi, a monthly shoujo manga
magazine.  Seven compilations of the manga are available [consult the
rec.arts.manga Manga Guide for details].

For the TV version each episode contains two segments, sometimes they
are two separate stories, sometimes they are two parts of the same
story.  All the stories are self contained and there is little or no
sequential order to them.

The drawing style of the characters varies between normal, part-gag and
full-gag depending on the situation [gag is sort of like SD but not
necessarily super-cute].  Normal style tends to be used in "serious"
situations like when Chitose acts upperclass for example she is admiring
herself in the mirror.  Part-gag is "normal" mode for most characters
and full-gag is used in "gag" situations like when Chitose discovers
that her hair is really a disaster...

The set-up of the story is this: Fujinomiya Chitose's wealthy father
dies with debts that leave her almost broke.  She is kicked out of the
snobbish Tokai no Gakuen [City Academy] and she is left with nothing in
the world except for the clothes on her back and one pink goldfish
called Gyopi-chan, the only thing left by her father.

While wandering lost she collapses on the grounds the poor-but-happy
Inaka no Chuugakkou [Country Jr.  High School], where the students are
rough [ie un-cultured] but friendly, and animals regularly roam the
school grounds and even attend class.  When she recovers she enters the
school even though she is unhappy with its air of poverty.

Her family lawyer, Tanakayama, comes in presumably to see to her
welfare, but actually plots to steal her rare pink goldfish, which is
extremely valuable.  Caught in the act by the school's guard chicken
Piiko and stopped by a student named Wapiko, he drops a safety deposit
box key belonging to Chitose's late father.  The deposit box turns out
to contain enough deeds, stocks and other goodies to make Chitose set
for life, but instead of returning to the rich school that rejected her,
she uses some of the money to rebuild the poor school into the New
Country Jr.  High School.

In exchange for such generosity, she appoints herself the school's
chairperson of the board and student president.  She then spends most of
her time trying to bring a little big-city sophistication to the school
and its student body and trying to get them to seriously compete (for
her revenge, of course) against the City Academy.  Naturally, she fails
miserably.  Future episodes usually centre around this theme or around
Chitose's attitude keeping her from just enjoying herself the way the
"low-class" country students do.

Other odd elements include the pigs, cows (human size!), chickens, cats,
and so on that can often be found in the classroom with the students.
The cows in particular play a fair part in the show, and two or three of
them have become recognisable characters.

Wapiko:  The show's super-energetic, carefree heroine.  Besides being
incredibly fast, strong, and agile, she also has a great tracking nose
and is very good with animals as well.  The animals all look up to her,
and she often serves as intermediary between them and Chitose.  She can
be upset or angry, but it usually doesn't last long.  Her primary
purpose in life seems to be just to enjoy it.

Gyopi-chan:  Currently valued in the hundreds of millions of yen.  It is
eventually revealed that not only is the goldfish worth a mint, he can
also fly and talk, and is especially fond of potato chips.

Chitose:  Even after losing it all and still being accepted by the poor
school you'd think she'd have learnt something, but she hasn't!  She
still considers herself a lady of refinement and above all the country
riff-raff, even though she can and often does act wilder and cruder than
any of them.  She does seem to occasionally notice that these people are
good characters, but rarely seems to pick up any of their better traits.
Despite her good intentions for the school, a big part of her remains a
self-serving, snobbish schemer.

Shuu:  Short for Kitada Shuuichi.  The straight man of the series, he is
the only person at New Country Jr.  High who even comes close to a
"student" as Chitose knows them.  She appoints him student
vice-president, and he is always referring to her as "Miss Student
President", never by name.  He is more the stereotyped girls' manga-type
boy:  serious, intelligent, gentle, slim, and handsome.  He rarely if
ever loses his temper, instead spending a lot of his time dealing with
Chitose's.  However, despite his serious character and position relative
to her, he is above all a New Country student, and remains loyal to his
friends there in spite of what Chitose thinks of them.

Aoi:  The school delinquent, [well actually the school "human"
delinquent as there is delinquent bull :-)] he is forever late to class
or forgetting at least half his required class materials.  He is,
however, quite handsome, and is not above exploiting this.  If he didn't
make a fool of himself so often, he'd make a pretty good romantic lead.

Michael:  Head of the school's Drama Club and he always carry a guitar
with him.  He has a cat which always punch him, and it turns out that he
is the elder brother of the Prince from the Chocolate Empire!  As for
his "charm point" as he calls it...  ...and you thought the girls' eyes
were big!!!

Sugadaira Yurika:  Student President at the City Academy and Chitose's
rival.  She is forever trying to find ways to do in or absorb New
Country, and would succeed more if she wasn't so infatuated with Aoi.
It might also help if she got rid of Tanakayama.

Tanakayama:  After the first episode he goes to work for Yurika, and
spends most of his time either spying on New Country on her orders or
eating at the City Academy's expense.

Takapi:  Chairman of City Academy's central committee (a position he
takes seriously) and Tanakayama's designated assistant spy.  He's a good
student, if a little snobby, but his spying work is hampered by a crush
he has on Wapiko.

Santoso sent me.  I have no idea who the original author of the article
is nor what issue it came from.  I rewrote sections based on information

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  This is a "magical girls" series about two twin girls who go to
  high school.  Tomomi is a tomboyish girl who is good at sports
  (she's the star of the volleyball team). Mikage is more feminine
  and is better academically, despite her tendency to blow up the
  Chemistry Club.  Both girls have boyfriends, though Mikage's
  left for London in the 2nd episode.  Mikage tends to have more
  romantic relationships while Tomomi is on the 'buddy' system.
  What makes these girls different is their ESP powers.  Both have
  limited telekinesis, have telepathy only with each other, and
  can teleport only when both work together.  The series is about
  the sometimes funny/sad/romantic lives of the two twins and the
  occasional complications brought about when they use their
  powers.  There is also an almost gothic mystery surrounding the
  powers and the role 4 flowers play in it...
								
  NOTE: Interesting gimmick.  The eyecatch has pictures of 2 twins
    (all appear about 1-3 years old) when going to commercial.
    When coming out, a picture of "Dio", the 2 ED singers posing
    as Tomomi and Mikage is used.  The ED has Dio performing the
    song against an animated background...

  bright and friendly girl given to helping those that she meets.
  Minky Momo is actually a princess from the "Land of Dreams" and
  she is on Earth to help humans not to lose their dreams.  There
  are actually 2 Minky Momo TV series:
     Minky Momo (1982-83) - Momo-chan and her parents run a pet
       shop.  Momo comes from Fenarinarsa which moved to near-
       Earth space when humans lost their dreams.  Momo uses her
       magic to change into various 18 year old girls with expert
       skills in some area.  At the end of the series, Momo was
       run over by a truck and her spirit was reborn as a human.
     Minky Momo (1991-92) - Another Momo-chan lives with her human
       parents who run a hotel.  Premise is the same as the first
       series, except that this Momo has more general use of her
       magic - being able to cast spells as well as transform.
       Minky Momo comes from Marinenarsa which sits at the bottom
       of the sea.  Note that the first Minky Momo (now human)
       has also appeared in this series.
  In both series, Momo-chan lives with human parents, but her real
  parents live in their respective cities and Minky Momo is a real
  princess.  Both "Land of Dreams" retreated to their current
  locations because humans have lost sight of their dreams.  This
  is a "magical girl" series which is surprisingly good,
  considering that it's directed at little girls...

  Products": a company specializing in anime garage kits.  Of
  course, GP is wildly successful and Kubo has a dream...to create
  an amusement park catering exclusively to anime otakus.  "Otaku
  no Video 1985" chronicles the downfall of Kubo & Tanaka and his
  efforts to create a new company based around a new Magical Girl

  Gainax; a company filled with anime otakus.  There were also

  NOTE: "otaku" literally means "you", but in common usage refers
    to a person that is extremely knowledgeable and/or fanatical
    about a topic.  An "anime otaku" refers to someone who lives
    and breathes anime.  In Japan, "otaku" has the same stigma

@node RobotCarnival "Robot Carnival"
Robot Carnival (FILM)  Genre: Science Fiction, Anthology

Review from Animato!, Spring 1991, by Emru Townsend

The notion of syncing a pantomime animated film to music is hardly
new; Disney's Steamboat Willie and Silly Symphonies are classic
examples, and even "silent" films usually had a pianist performing to
accompany what was being seen onscreen.  However, Since the days of
the Silly Symphony -- and the ultimate Silly Symphony, Fantasia --
there has been a profound lack of this genre of animated film, with
the possible exception of music videos.

Enter Robot Carnival, a mid-80s Japanese techno-Fantasia with a
twist.  As in Fantasia, Robot Carnival is comprised of several
animated shorts set to music.  Unlike Fantasia, Robot Carnival has
each segment directed by different teams, each with their own
distinct style, while all the music is composed by Jo Hisaishi, who
has also composed soundtracks for anime classics such as @{"Nausicaa" link "Nausicaa"},
@{"Laputa" link "Laputa"}, and @{"Arion" link "Arion"}.  Where Fantasia's unifying theme is fantasy, Robot
Carnival's unifying theme is, as the title suggest, robots.

In some ways, Robot Carnival's structure is much like that of
Fantasia.  It gambols through some light-hearted sequences, takes
time out for a relatively somber short, has a trio of shorts (one
light-hearted, one "art", and one uproariously funny), and a final,
dark sequence.

The film's opening has a little boy in the desert going about daily
life until a poster ad blows his way.  He picks it up, squints at the
type, and runs off in a panic to warn the villagers:  the Robot
Carnival is coming!  People frantically run for cover and cower in
their hovels as the Carnival makes its destructive presence known.
This segment was directed by Katsuhiro Otomo (creator and director of
@{"Akira" link "Akira"}) and Atsuko Fukushima, and is enjoyable for its large dollops
of slapstick cartoon violence as the Robot Carnival's fireworks
detonate within the village and its cute dancing dolls explode in the
company of their human consorts.

Franken no Haguruma (Frankenstein's Gears), directed by Kouji
Morimoto, has us in a darkened laboratory illuminated only by the
occasional flash of lightening.  A (mad?) scientist with an
unidentifiable something on his back creates a robot which can mimic
anything he does... much to his dismay.  Further comment would only
give away the joke.

Deprive, directed by Hidetoshi Omori (who has worked on
@{"Aura Battler Dunbine" link "Dunbine"}, and more recently the new Guyver OAVs), is a
fast-paced action film.  An invading overlord and his minions kidnap
a young girl and her robot friend sets off to rescue her from their
clutches.  Aside from the catchy music, a few neat visual effects
during his retribution and a particularly nasty surprise, there's
nothing too exceptional about this segment.

Two of the shorts within this movie violate the music-only rule, of
which the first is Presence.  Directed by Yasuomi Umetsu (who was
behind the opening of @{"Project A-ko 3" link "A-ko"}), the film's subdued background
music is mainly accompanied by the voice of the main character, a man
who creates robotic toys for a living.  The world he inhabits is much
like ours, only robotics are more commonplace.  In his private work
area, he creates a robotic female companion, who startles him by
exhibiting some all-too-human behavior.  This touching film is
hauntingly beautiful, with lush background designs and
ultra-detailed, colorful cel work.  The animation itself is smooth --
almost too smooth.  While it suits certain things such as flying cars
and slow-motion shattering glass, the smooth movement sometimes makes
the characters themselves seem inhuman.

Starlight Angel is a short about two girls' visit to the fair.  This
is a light, entertaining "feel-good" sort of film, which is fairly
average.  The story meanders a bit in some places, leaving the
audience occasionally muttering, "Yes, yes, get on with it!" Hiroyuki
Kitazume directed Starlight Angel, which is highly reminiscent of his
work for Zeta Gundam.

Meiji Karakuri Bumei Kitan:  Koumoujin Shurai no Maki (Strange Tale
of Meiji Machines:  The Episode of the Red-Haired Man's Invasion) is
the second Robot Carnival short to have any dialogue.  Strangely, the
music seems to only be a minor aspect of this film, which is about a
western man invading 16th century Japan with his giant, lumbering
wooden robot.  Some Japanese youngsters attempt to retaliate with a
wooden robot of their own, with some hilarious consequences like
accidentally punting a small house into the stratosphere when they
mean to raise the right leg to start walking.  Hiroyuki Kitakubo,
chief animator of @{"Black Magic M-66" link "M66"}, directed this bit of silliness.

Cloud sticks out from the rest of Robot Carnival as Toccata and Fugue
in D Minor did in Fantasia; it's not cel animation.  Unlike Toccata
and Fugue, it doesn't even have all that much animation at all.
Cloud has a quiet, contemplative soundtrack and features a small,
robotic child wearing a jacket.  Little actually happens in this as
far as plot goes; most of the film is comprised of still drawings
serving as a backdrop for the young robot's journey.  Mao Lamdo
directed this, probably the closest to an "art" film Robot Carnival
has to offer.

Niwatori Otoko to Akia Kubi (Chicken Man and Red Neck) owes quite a
bit to Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain.  An ordinary city is
overrun by demonic robots at night, and one man is trapped in it all.
Chicken Man and Red Neck has a few slapstick moments, but is still
generally a dark film.  What it lacks in the sheer power and dark
majesty of both the music and animation in Night on Bald Mountain it
makes up with a frenetic pace and the terror of poor Chicken Man.
This was directed by Takashi Nakamura, who later became chief
animator of @{"Akira" link "Akira"}.

The closing segment was directed by Katsuhiro Otomo and Atsuko
Fukushima.  The Robot Carnival is over, and the mobile sign/parade
vehicle is in ruin.  The ending is a funny and almost sadistic
surprise; see the movie and judge it for yourself.

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  Not exactly anime, but this seems to be most people's intro to
  anime.  A combination of 3 anime series ("@{"Macross" link "Macross"}", "Southern
  Cross", "Genesis Climber Mospeada") with a linking concept
  ("Protoculture"), this is a story about 3 wars between humanity
  and 3 different alien races over possession of Protoculture. For
  the most part, general plots were retained, though details were
  changed.  As an introduction to anime, this series was fairly
  well done and self-consistent.  Now available on video.
  NOTE: "Robotech" changed the original anime series and most fans
	seem to agree that the originals were better...except for
	"Southern Cross".

Roots Search (OAV)

Columbia Video, 45 min.

Description (Neil Nadelman):

   Story concerns an alien with a God complex invading an isolated
   research satellite and causing people to re-live their worst
   nightmares... Which for some reason seems to cause them to explode
   and get sucked out of airlocks.  Weirdest thing about it?  Seems to
   contain references to the Soviet SF film "Solaris".
 
   Animation quality is decent to mediocre.  Music is unremarkable.
   Story's okay if you're into this sort of thing.  My biggest problem
   with it is the ending:  Like MD Geist, it seemed to be setting up for
   a sequel that was never made.
 
   All in all, it's fluffy SF/Splattertainment.  Good for rental.

Description (Todd Knarr, todd.knarr@teamhbbs.com):

   Generic alien creature (self-proclaimed messenger of God) comes
   aboard a space station and begins killing everyone aboard by making
   them relive various 'evil' things they did during their lives.  It
   gets somewhat bloody.  At the end, our hero and heroine get condemned
   to 'Hell' for not being absolutely perfect (in the creature's eyes),
   and we're left hanging as they walk off to explore.

   I wouldn't recommend buying it flat out sight unseen, but as a rental
   it doesn't cost that much to find out if you like it.

  for the more recent releases.  All were very well done, and are
  recommended for anyone looking for more of Takahashi-sensei's
  works.  Note that only "The Supergal" is a comedy.
  Rumic World: Fire Tripper - An explosion sends Suzu back in time
     to 16th century Japan where she falls in love with a warrior
     while looking for her lost charge (a little boy).
  Rumic World: The Supergal - Always in poverty, Maris has to work
     a lot of odd jobs - one of which is a Space Police officer.
     She gets her chance when a rich tychoon's son is kidnapped.
  Rumic World: Laughing Target - An iinazuke from a boy's past
     threatens his present as she tries to possess him (by
     eliminating his present girlfriend).
  One Pound Gospel - This is your average boxing story, or is it?
     Kousaku is aiming for the title, but his uncontrollable
     appetite makes it hard to keep him under the weight limit for
     his class. He receives spiritual (and physical ;-) guidance
     by the catholic nun Angela. This OAV has it's funny moments,
     but is _not_ a comedy.  (Description by Christian Balzer).
  Ningyo no Mori - A legend says that eating mermaid flesh will
     grant immortality.  In reality, most people die horribly, and
     the rest will mutate into monsters.  Only a few are granted
     true immortality, but Yuuta just wants his humanity back.
     In "Mermaid Forest", he and Mana are trapped by one who still
     wants the gift/curse of immortality...

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  "Tsukino Usagi" (Rabbit of the Moon) is a rather underachieving
  junior high school girl who gets low test grades, does poorly in
  sports, and is often late to class.  She's also a very caring
  individual.  When Usagi-chan sees some boys tormenting a black
  cat, she rescues the cat.  The cat reappears later to thank
  Usagi and introduces herself as Luna.  Usagi is frightened at
  seeing a talking cat, so Luna gives her a pretty broach.  With
  the words "Moon Prism Power-Make Up!", the broach turns her into
  the superheroine Sailor Moon.  Her job is to fight against the
  youma (demons) who appear to steal human energy.  Unfortunately,
  Sailor Moon is still spectacularly incompetant at fighting youma.
  Fortunately, the mysterious Tuxedo Kamen appears to save her.
  Later, the appearance of the other Sailor Senshi (warriors) will
  help, since they are better at fighting than Sailor Moon is.
  Luna is also looking for her missing Moon Princess.  This is a
  very funny series which enjoys massive popularity in Japan.
  Tidbits:
  - All of the Sailor Senshi are 14 year old schoolgirls dressed
     in short, cute versions of their regular school uniforms.
  - Like "Tsukino Usagi", the names of the other Senshi are puns
     relating to their planet or power (e.g. "Mizuno Ami" is
     "Ami of the Water"; Sailor Mercury's power is water based).
  - The Dark Kingdom villains seem to be named after crystals of
     various kinds (e.g. Jadeite, Kunzite, Beryl).
  - The "Sailor Moon" series ends at episode #46 and is replaced
     at #47 with "Sailor Moon R" (R = "return" and "romance").  It
     starts out with 2 aliens, Ail and Ann, who need human energy,
     similar to the first series.  A new plotline has started at
     #60 with "Chiba Usa" (little Usagi) appearing and demanding
     the ginzuishou, Usagi's power jewel...

@node XTrain "Take the X Train"
Take the X Train (OAV)

Director: Rin Taro

From: Walter M. Amos (amos@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu)

The plot is about a Japanese punk type kid in a strange and semi-
surreal big city (maybe Tokyo).  The art looks like Otomo on acid.
Basically this kid begins to be followed around by a phantom train,
first we see electric bolts on the tracks, then gradually ghostly
images of an engine as the film progresses.  Also some bad guys are
after him and/or the train (I forget which and why).  Eventually he
confronts the train, gets run over by it, and sort of merges with it,
and destroys the baddies.

The most memorable scene (to me) occurred early on when the kid is
making it with his girlfriend.  Each time he thrusts, a nebulous
female voice says "sex".  As this progresses and he goes faster, we
hear "sex...sex...sex-sex-sex", reminding one of the
"choo...choo..choo-choo-choo" as a train gradually chugs out of the
station and gains speed.  Quite amusing, stylistically.

  the old sword...and a mummy.  Since Tenchi broke the seals, the
  mummy rises.  Frantically, Tenchi tries to reseal the shrine and
  escapes.  Later, Tenchi is back at school.  He is startled by a
  girl who appears out of nowhere.  This is Ryouko, space pirate,
  former mummy, and a VERY annoyed demon.  She decides to kill
  Tenchi, 'cause she has to take it out on *someone*.  Tenchi
  escapes from the destroyed school...to find that Ryouko has
  decided to move in with him.  Things get REALLY interesting when
  Aeka, Princess of the Jurai, comes to Earth looking for her
  brother...the long-dead hero who sealed Ryouko up the first time.
  This is a very funny, fast-moving action comedy with lots of
  unique elements...including spaceships grown from trees and a
  pirate ship that becomes a cute bunny...
  NOTE: The title might also be translated as "This Side Up,Tenchi"
    and, in fact, is carried that way at Nikaku.  This is because
    the kanji used can be interpreted more than one way...

@node Transformers "The Transformers"
The Transformers (TV, FILM)  Genre: Giant Robots

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  On the planet Cybertron, the 'life forms' are robots that are
  able to transform into other machinery.  There was a war between
  2 factions, and the Decepticons won.  The Autobots retreated to
  the planet Earth, led by Optimus Prime.  As the name implies,
  Autobots can transform into motor vehicles with Prime becoming a
  18-wheel truck.  The Decepticons pursued the Autobots to Earth
  led by Megatron, who transforms into a gun.  Most of the other
  Deceptacons transform into jets.  The war continues on Earth.
  The "Transformers Movie" ends this war with the Autobots winning,
  but having to face a planet-eating robot called Omicron Theta...
  (This, of course, generates many toys for Hasbro to sell... :-))
								
  Note: Despite the giant robots, this is an American creation and
    production.  The concept proved popular in Japan, however, and
    a new anime Transformers series ran there with original
    stories, using Japanese writers and voice actors...

  This series is set in the far future.  Justy Tyler is wandering

  LARGE TV screen).  Actually, his eye is caught by the girl in
  the commercial.  He signs up immediately.  During his screening/
  training/testing, he manages to seduce the main computer at the
  HQ...completely disrupting operations during an invasion, and
  stops an alien-induced hostage situation...neither the criminals
  nor the hostages knew what to make of him.  Now, he's been given
  *command* of his own space battleship...an antique.  His crew is
  a collection of misfits, including 3 of the aforementioned
  hostages: Yuriko and his twin aides Yumi & Emi.  Also Yamamoto,
  the officer in charge of the hostage drama...before Tyler walked
  in.  This series would be utterly chaotic if it wasn't so funny.
								
  Note: In both the spoken and katakana forms, his name is "Tyler"
    or "TAIRA".  In the eyecatch, his name is "Tailor" written in
    English.  Make whatever you want out of this... :-)

I Can Hear the Sea (TV)  Genre: Drama

alternate title: Umi Ga Kikoeru

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  Taku Morisaki is a college student on his way back to a high
  school reunion.  On the plane flight back, he remembers events
  from his high school days.  He remembers getting a glimpse of a
  new girl with his friend Matsuno.  Later, Matsuno introduces his
  new girlfriend to Morisaki.  Her name is Rikako Muto.  She is
  very good in sports and academically, but is a social outsider
  since she is a transfer student.  In their last year in school,
  the class takes a trip to Hawaii.  When Rikako's money is stolen,
  it is to Morisaki that she asks to help her.  This doesn't go
  unnoticed by Matsuno, and cracks begin to appear in their
  friendship.  This is a very real look at relationships, and how
  a single act may change them forever.  Did a romantic triangle
  form?  It's hard to tell.  This TV movie compares well with
  better live-action dramas and outshines most anime.
  NOTE: This is Studio Ghibli's first solo attempt by the "younger
    generation" of the company.  Miyazaki-sensei was not involved.

Wandering Kid (OAVs, FILM)  Genre: Miscellaneous

alternate titles: Legend of the Overfiend, Urotsukidoji

Anime Pocket Guide Description:
  The universe consists of 3 realms: the Human World, the Beast
  World, and the Demon World.  Every 3000 years, the "Chojin"
  (which is essentially a super-God of sorts) is born to unite the
  3 worlds together.  This series follows the journey of a boy
  from the Beast World named Amanojaku as he searches for the
  "Chojin".  He settles on a human boy and girl (Nakumo and Akemi)
  who seem to be the key.  Events unfold rapidly as demons also
  appear, looking for the "Chojin".  The film is an edited
  compilation of the 1st OAV series.  There is a 2nd OAV series
  which is a prequel of sorts.  There are many scenes involving
  violent rapes, dismemberment, demon-induced gore, supernatural
  horror stuff, etc...
								
  NOTE: This series' prime focus seems to be on the graphic sex
    and violent scenes which permeates the series. In all fairness,
    there *is* a rather complex plotline running through this, but
    in the end, the plot is only an excuse to show more sex and
    violence.

  One day, an alien fleet appeared and was going to invade the
  Earth.  Earth had only once chance: if a randomly selected Earth-
  man defeated an alien in a game of tag, then Earth would be
  spared.  The computers picked a high school lech named Ataru
  Moroboshi.  When Ataru found out, he hid behind his girlfriend
  Shinobu...until he saw his opponent: a cute girl in a tiger-
  striped bikini named Lum.  All he has to do is grab Lum's horns
  before 10 days are up.  The horny Ataru was *very* willing to do
  just that :-).  On the first day, Ataru dashed toward Lum...who
  flew off.  Ataru screamed that nobody told him that Lum could
  *fly*!  Day after day, Ataru kept trying and failing.  On the
  last night, Shinobu said that she'd marry Ataru if he won.  The
  next day, Ataru cheated...and won the match.  *Then* he said he
  would now be married.  Baaaad timing...Lum took it to mean that
  he wanted to marry *her*.  Now, the girl-chasing Ataru has a
  devoted and loving 'wife' who will fry him if he even looks at
  another girl.  Oh, didn't I mention Lum's electric shock power?

  This is a 40-episode shojo (girl's) anime series about two young
  girls who try to become idol singers in Shibuya. Yohko is
  intensely upbeat and talented but has a mysterious past that she
  won't talk about. She meets the second girl, Saki, on the
  Shinkansen (bullet train) when she's on her way to Tokyo. They
  team up in their assault on the showbiz industry.  Yohko also
  has a pet flying squirrel named Muu.  His primary role is:
    1) cause Yohko to meet all kinds of strange Shibuya residents
    2) fetch a mirror-ball prop whenever Yohko looks like she's
	going to break into song.
  This series has at least one song per episode and could be
  classed as a musical.  There is also an extremely *cheerful* air
  to it.  Note that Yohko's origin is never explained and in fact,
  the last episode shows her unchanged on TV 50 years from now...

  attack a lone figure.  They find that killing this stranger is
  not easy, and Sakon, their leader takes the stranger on.  During
  the fight, Sakon and Ayanosuke (she had masculinized her name)
  find that their blades have an affinity with each other.  Demons
  kill the thieves and are destroyed, in turn, by a priest.  He
  sends them in the direction of Ryoma who has a pike made of the
  same meteor metal as the other 2 weapons.  In this way, the old
  prophecy is coming true...the 3 mystic weapons working together
  under the flaming star (a comet) will vanquish evil.  The evil,
  in this case is the demon-possessed Lord Nobunaga.  This series
  is set up like an historical drama with intrigue and
  confrontations in historical Japan...with some magic and demons
  added.  Note that Nobunaga is a real figure in Japanese history

                           Urusei Yatsura Title List
                Compiled by:   Andy Johnson and Preston Nevins
                        Downloaded from: Tomobiki-NET
              A BBS for the discussion of Japanese Anime and Manga

-A Few Notes on the 'Urusei Yatsura' TV Episode List:

The television episodes are divided into groups based on their credits.
An approximate translation of the song title is given.


#          Episode number
DATE       Date that episode was originally broadcast
EP. TITLE  Title of the episode
               If the title has an asterisk '*' immediately before it,
               then this is an approximate translation of the title
               Otherwise, this is a very short episode description
               Three asterisks '***' denote missing/unknown parts of titles.
ANIME      Which 'Anime Comics' book the episode can be found in
               e.g. 02.1 is the first story in the second Urusei Anime Comic
SUNDAY     Which 'Shonen Sunday' Urusei book the original version of the
           story can be found in (if applicable)
GRAPHIC    Which Urusei 'Shonen Sunday Graphic' the episode can be found in


This information comes from:
     June 1986 'Animage' - the Japanese titles and dates of all the episodes
     Urusei Anime Comics 1-36
     Urusei Shonen Sunday Comics 1-30 (of 34)
     Urusei Shonen Sunday Graphics 7-15 (of however many...)


If you can improve this list (and it sure needs a lot of improvement) please
send your corrections to:
                Preston Nevins
                589 Neff Road
                Grosse Pte City, MI
                            48230
and we'll send you copies of the list as we update it.
or call Tomobiki-NET at (313)884-0418 and complain directly to us- We'd be
happy to hear it!
As great fans of this show we want to obtain and distribute as much
information as we can.

(Probably a lot of the names in this list are copyrighted by Rumiko Takahashi,
Kitty Films, or Fuji TV...but we won't tell if you won't)

Special Thanks to:
       Rumiko Takahashi for creating Urusei Yatsura
       Fumi Hirano for giving Lum a voice
       William Sikora for supplying the episodes & ordering the books

@node YYHEps "Yuu Yuu Hakusho TV Episodes"

From: sanjiyan@netcom.com (Melinda Miller)
Date: Sat, 9 Oct 1993 00:54:20 GMT

This is an episode list for Yuu*Yuu*Hakusho, for as far as I currently
have episodes.  The dates aired all came from Newtype.  I have no
knowledge about how accurate they are (being stuck on this side of the
Pacific...) I tried to keep the original feel of the titles, and so they
are sometimes a little on the strange side.  Names that get used
frequently are left in Japanese, with a literal translation put in
paranthesis.  Any suggestions for alternate translations are welcome.
Trying to translate episode titles was one of the weirdest, most
frustrating experiences I've had, so I would love to have any ideas on
how to translate these better.

I will update this list as I get more episodes, and will gladly forward
updates to anyone who wants them.
