1.Does anyone know when Princess Mononoke (sp?) will come out on video, or 
has it allready?

        It may not, from what I hear the DVD is almost out, but I've got zip 
so far for video (which sucks, cause all I have is VHS, and with that a 
copy-tape of the original LD version).

2. Does anyone know where I can get one of those Gundam Wing models from the 
show that they are always displaying in Animerica?

        ToysRUs (or however you spell it), if I'm thin'in' a the same ones.

3.As an estimated guess, for those of you that know atleast how to speak 
Japanese, how long it takes to learn it? And what are some good places online 
to learn?

        I learned it the hard way, watching subbed movies so long I knew the 
lines without looking, then piecing it backwards.  Also, the great trying to 
translate a 100% Newtype using a Japanese-English dictionary, done more than 
once, you start to remember most words just to keep from going insane.  Oh, 
and I still suck at it, unless it's either basic, or weird words no one uses 
in the real world (linear acceleration cannon, comes to mind).

4.In the Ranma 1/2 anime, does that one Vodoo guy ever appear or is that just 
in the Manga?

        Someone else can field this one...

5. Does anyone know what and when the next anime movie will come to the big 
screens?

        The Evangelion film TrueDeath2 (the '2' is a little one up top, but 
the ML transfer would screw that up), should be out soon, under another, 
Americanized, title.  Also the new Vampire Hunter D, Blood (whenever they 
finish it, or did they?), and possibly Laputa.  Of course most of these will 
only be in smaller art-theatres (saw Mononoke at the El Capitan, the only 
time anyone could drag me in there).  Oh, and X is out right now in some 
places.

6. Does anyone know if and when Tenchi Muyo (might have spelled that wrong 
also, I'm not the best speller in the world,hehe) is going to come to cartoon 
network. Ive heard from people that it might.

        It will, but it's going to be digitally edited a la DBZ, and probably 
the dialogue will be cut as well, considering Ryoko's favorite word is 
'damn'.  Regardless, everyone should watch it just to keep them from pulling 
it and screwing the chances of getting great anime on American TV as a 
standard.

7. How is everyone tonight?

        What, you mean with the end of the world so near now?  Yeah, haven't 
you heard, the atmosphere of idiocy and uncreativity is so weighty now it's 
going to crush us all into a pulp.  Actually, that's just what we should keep 
telling the idiots of the world, maybe they'll believe it and I dunno fly an 
emergency rocketship off into the cosmos, leaving the Earth for nice, happy 
otaku.  Thus the renaming to OtakuWorld!
