Salutations ( and other forms of greeting ) !
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 information you can provide (such as where to purcahse or order
books, video, or any information or opinions you might have ) would
be most GREATLY appreciated !
"Can you read Japanese ?"
"With artwork like this, does it
really matter ???"

P.S. IF you want to post replies to the net for the benefit of everyone
interested, post them in 'net.sf-lovers', or (preferably)
mail you reply to me and I'll summarize info for the net.
Thanx again !
