Katsucon 8 TRSI News

• Boogiepop Phantom
  
  
  • Boogiepop is selling *really* well; they've already sold through a
    couple pressings of Vol.4.
  
  
  • An error was found in Boogiepop, but it was too late to change it
    (without spending $12,000); a character's computer login name is "biggins"
    in the show; should've been "higgins" as a reference to "My Fair Lady."
  
  
  • The OP/ED are not found on any of the CDs due to licensing issues and
    licensing costs.
  
  
  
  


• Kare Kano
  
  
  • Release format: 5 discs; 6/5/5/5/5
  
  
  • The producer wanted Animated and fully removable subs; but couldn't do
    both, so he opted for fully removable subs.
  
  
  • The release has been delayed until May, partly due to an almost heinous
    translation error: a word was mis-romanized as "Meriland"; should have been
    "Maryland" as a reference to "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
  
  
  • Jeff wants to make a clear sleeve box with cherry blossoms on it, but he
    hasn't found any printers who do that.
  
  
  
  


• Miscellaneous
  
  
  • Animetrax: Jeff believes there are over 100 CDs licensed, scheduled to
    be released over ten months. He couldn't announce any, however.
  
  
  • Dangaizer 3 and KO Beast Century is scheduled for release this summer.
  
  
  • Right Stuf has been using multipacks for releases since they are cheaper
    than printing up boxes.
  
  
  • Either one or two new shows have been licensed. I'm not sure if these
    are the same title or not, although I'm leaning towards not.
  
  
  • A title Jeff loves has been acquired. He is going to wait on announcing
    it, though. That is all he said.
  
  
  • At another point, Jeff said that someone showed him (he didn't know
    about it beforehand), which he then got TRSI to license. The hints he gave:
    He thinks it is popular and has been fansubbed; it is a TV series; and he
    wants to direct it. He said any more would make it too easy to guess the
    title.
