LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: (KENNEDY)
     "A NEW BEGINNING FOR NT2099"

Many of you are wondering...why the BBS is back up.  Well, on December 31st the BBS went down.  What we weren't anticipating were people calling me by voice, sending letters, publication of our BBS in anime mags.  That we were receiving more calls than anticipated and we don't have many dedicated phone lines.  

The BBS is now called Neo-Tokyo 2099 II INTL. and this is a new beginning.  Anime is booming..and I have a gut feeling that this will be another big year for anime and manga and many beginners will have many questions and this zine is created to help with those questions.  A guide book...non-profit...this  zine is put together by anime fans all over the country to help those who have many questions.  We plan to start a section on Hong Kong cinema/Foreign films and also Japanese Science fiction (Sentai type shows..hehe) and if you have an article or would like to submit one...please do so (for any of our sections).  Unfortunately, we can't pay you for it since this is a non-profit zine and basically a compilation of information to help people.  Basically, that is the purpose of the zine.  To inform and to help people...So, we'll need all the help we can get.  We appreciate all the support from all of you and the cool letters.  So, let's have fun this year.  Originally, this was supposed to come out in February but there were some articles we had to wait for from people and also their were a few cons in late February.  So, our apologies for that.  So...let's begin with our Guide to Urusei Yatsura!!!
=====================================================================
A GUIDE TO URUSEI YATSURA
"A guide for beginners to the world of Urusei Yatsura"
==========================
One of the favorites of many anime fans is Urusei Yatsura which is available in the USA from AnimEigo.  Very interesting...very funny...and also very cool.  Even rocker, Matthew Sweet has a tattoo of Lum on his arm.  This guide you are about to see is more of a guide for those who love Urusei Yatsura.  So, hope you enjoy it!! -KENNEDY

NOTE: We would like to thank those who written these....unfortunately, we don't know who wrote the synopsis guide and title translations.  We would love to give credit to this person because it took a lot of hard work...so, thank you..whoever you are.  Thanks to Andtheman, Chih-Ping Kuo and Theresa Martin for their work on making these files accessible and a good reference to fans of UY.
=======================================================================================URUSEI YATSURA CHARACTERS

Typed in by Andtheman


ATARU MOROBOSHI

In his heart of hearts, he really does love Lum more than any other
girl but he just can't keep his hands off other women (who find him
ugly and a groper)

LUM OF URUSEI

This bitch definitly has sex appeal and totally devoted to her
"Darling" (as she calls Ataru).  Lum is highly tempermental and
willing to use any means at her disposal to keep him in line.
One of these means is her natural ability to deliver a high voltage
shock with the stud Ataru a popular recipient.

SHUTARO MENDO

The only son of the richest family in Japan, Mendo personifies
honour, nobility and style.  Unfortunatly, he knows it.  Lum seems
to be the only girl able to resist him, despite his desperate attempts
to win her favor.

SHINOBU

Ataru's ex. who gives up on him quite early in the series (about the
time that Lum moved into Ataru's bedroom closet).  Possessed of
herculean strength when angry, she now has eyes only for Mendo who
is so busy chasing Lum that he rarely even looks at her.

MEGANE AND LUM'S GUARDS

 A bunch of Ataru's school mates who are in lust with Lum.  Megane
with glasses is the leader and most smitten.

JARITEN

 Also known as Ten and Ten-chan.  Lum's cousin and Ataru's bane.
Can fly and breath fire, usually at Ataru.

RYUNOSUKE

 An odd case, her dad raised her as a boy and even makes her dress
like a boy.  She's tough as nails, but yearns to act and especially
dress like a girl.

RAN

 One of Lum's old school buddies, sweet and cuddly on the outside,
 but inside she is a bitch from hell, this wench is usually armed
 with hidden weapons.

BENTEN

 Another of Lum's old buddies probably her best friend who sweares
 like a logger and loves to kick good ass.

OYUKI

 Another of Lum's friends who is soft spoken and queen of an ice
 planet.

CHERRY

 A big pain in the ass to everyone on the show and especially to
 Ataru, who is sick of hearing that he has the mark of doom on his
 face.

SAKURA

 The school nurse and mega-psych bitch, she is Cherry's niece.

I had been working on this list for a long time (since last September).  I
realized how hopeless this thing is when I was half way through the 2nd wide
edition manga book.  I have no more energy to work on this any more, and this
list is VERY incomplete.  I knew there are many other Uruboshi experts out
there who knew far more than I did, and I welcome any comments, corrections,
and additions.

URUSEI YATSURA OAV 1 (URUSEI `87)-"Inaba the Dreamaker" This is the other "last" film for Urusei Yatsura..the one that Rumiko wanted as ooposed to just doing Boy meets Girl (as the story goes). The Shinobu-Shutaro storyline is thrown out (sadly) and Inaba (an apprentice Time Bunny) is added.  Still, this is one of the best examples of UY.

ANIME NEWS:
It would seem that the biggest news that hit us last month was the announcement of Sailor Moon coming to the United States.  It was a rumor now confirmed and many otaku's are excited..many otaku's are angry...but this is the Associated Press article that hit the newspapers.  Also, for anime news is the latest REC.ARTS.ANIME POLL 1994.  Yes, the results are in...will it shock you???  Thanks for Ryan Matthews for doing this poll and the many who have voted. Also, news on the Kobe & Osaka Benefit Dinner and Auction.  So, keep on reading...


                        ANIME FANS PREPARE FOR SEPTEMBER 1995

Here is an article from Feb. 15, 1995 of PRETTY SOLDIER SAILOR MOON coming to the U.S.

                                  SAILOR MOON MAY BE NEXT CRAZE
          JAPAN'S NEW SUPERHEROES ARE FEMINIST AND CONFUSED ABOUT IT
                                                   By Dorian Benkoil/Associated Press Writer

TOKYO-Family budgets that survived the Might Morphin' Power Rangers will soon
face an assault from another team of Japanese superheroes-wearing pleated
miniskirts and go-go boots.

"Sailor Moon," a blond, ponytailed teen-ager, and her girlfriends are on the
way to combat evil and sexism--and sell as many dolls, trinkets and toys
as possible.

DIC Productions of Burbank plans to bring the Japanese cartoon series into
American homes in September.  Japan's Bandai Co., which can't make Power
Ranger toys fast enough to feed U.S. demand, has rights to the merchandising.

The Japanese creators of the Sailor Moon cartoon attribute its immense
popularity in Japan to the casting of strong females as central characters.
The American version will retain female empowerment as a frequent theme.

"Today's little girls want to be just as strong as boys," said DIC spokesman
Jeff Pryor.  "Barbie is not really an appropriate role model anymore."

But these so-called warriors-against-sexism characters wear miniskirts and
draw their power from makeup--and sometimes get help from Sailor Moon's love
interest, a masked man named Tuxedo who often appears when the girls are
iin trouble.

The cartoon's creators don't see any contradiction in having Tuxedo bail out
the young defenders of feminism.

"Tuxedo is part of the Sailor Moon team.  It's all of them fighting evil
together," said Kenichi Ebato of Toei Animation Co. Ltd. "Sometimes she helps
him as well when he gets in trouble."

Some of the racier moments from the Japanese version will hit the cutting room
floor, including when one of Sailor Moon's team proudly refers to the size
of her breasts, said DIC president Andy Howard.

Known in Japan as "Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon," the title character in
everyday life is brashed and disheveled 14-year old named Usagi, who like
most Japanese junior high school girls wears a sailor-style uniform.

Using magical brooches, scepters and compacts, Usagi and her girl companions
transform into fast-thinking, stylish superheroines who use power rays to
fight otherworldly demons.

In one episode, a female alien sends her male underling to lure Sailor Moon
and her crew to an airport where he scoffs at their abilities and tries
to run them over with airplanes.

The girls shout "Scorn for women is a thing of the past!" and "Don't
belittle women!" while using their powers to make the planes chase him away.

Almost all of the forces of evil in the show are older women, however, not men.

Each of Sailor Moon's team is named for celestial bodies.  The U.S. version
will drop "Pretty Soldier" from the title.

Since picking up the rights last month, DIC has signed up enough stations to
reach 85% of U.S. homes, Heyward said.  The series has already done well in
France, Spain, and Hong Kong, he said.

In Japan, Sailor Moon outsells her superhero competitors.

Since going on the air in 1992, Sailor Moon has generated $1.58 billion in
retail sales in Japan, more here than the Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles and Barbie combined, according to DIC.

THE REC.ARTS.ANIME.POLL 1994

From rec.arts.anime Fri Feb 17 20:45:37 1995
From: bn981@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Ryan Mathews)
Newsgroups: rec.arts.anime
Subject: [POLL] ** RESULTS OF THE R.A.A FAVORITES POLL **

The 1994 R.A.A Favorites Poll has come to a close, and man oh man, what a
poll it was!  I had hoped, optimistically, for 150 votes.  Instead, a last
minute barrage brought the final total to 163!!  And take a look at the
results.  We have blowouts, we have squeakers, and we have TWO TIES!

Two things surprised me in this poll:  first, the sheer volume of the
response.  Secondly, the knowledgability of these "new" fans.  Past polls were
filled with "holes", votes for unknown quantities that needed to be filled in
by the readers.  For those who enjoyed the impromptu trivia contest, I'm
sorry to tell you that there are almost no such holes in this poll.  There
were very few to begin with, and I filled in most of them with the help of a
friend.  It seems fans these days are paying attention to such "trivia" as
who acted whom and who directed what.

Okay, let's get on with the results!  By the way, there's rarely such a thing
as the perfect poll.  If you catch any mistakes, let me know.

The Favorite Movie category had a seemingly predictable ending, with WINGS OF
HONNEAMISE taking the title for the third consecutive year.  But before you
bemoan the fact that nothing changes in fandom, take a look at the margin of
victory.  NAUSICAA and LAPUTA both held leads at one point, and in the end
it could have gone any of three ways.
