Salutations ( and other forms of greeting ) ! You'll have to forgive me (that is, I hope you will) for posting this on so many boards, but I thought a wider dispersion might bring some useful replies. I'd like to know if anyone out there has an interest in Japanese animation especially the histories, books, memorabilia, videos, etc. of 1 ) the YAMATO series films and TV serials (both the Japanese originals and the American cloned 'Star Blazers') 2 ) the GALAXY EXPRESS 999 TV serials 3 ) the 'MY YOUTH IN ARCADIA' serials and/or films 4 ) older Japanses animation, such as SPEED RACER. The quality of the artwork of these productions is outstanding, and this opinion can be supported by (almost) anyone who has viewed these productions. CREATION (c) conventions often invite dealers in Japanese science fiction animation to their events, but their selecton of memorabilia has only recently improved, and the amount of video they have available is nearly nil ! Any info you can spare will be GREATLY appreciated ! Let me know I'm not completely alone out here..........................* "Can you read Japanese ?" "With artwork like this, does it really matter ???" JOhn JOhnston, YAMATO Flight Crew @ Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia, Pa. P.S. IF you want to post replies to the net for the benefit of everyone interested, post them in 'net.comics' or 'net.sf-lovers'; we'll stop posting replies to whichever of these two nets thinks this kind of info isn't proper for that group ! Thanx again ! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
