If you enjoyed the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga
from Viz Communications, then were disappointed when new issues stopped
coming, Toshi Yoshida of Viz had good news at Katsucon. The latest collected
volume of the Eva manga is due for publication in Japan, and that will
let Viz restart the series in North America. Another Viz title on the way,
part of one of the company's manga anthologies, is Marionette Generation,
a Haruhiko Mikimoto series that ran in Newtype. When the unending sub-versus-dub
question was raised, Yoshida answered that "fans will spend more for subtitled
tapes - whether that's the marketing or the truth of the matter is up to
you." |

The new face in this collection of voice actors is
the black-clad, bearded man on the right. David Brimmer is on the faculty
of New York University, and has a drama background with a wide range extending
from fight choreography to opera. Brimmer will move into the anime world
with a role in the newest Slayers series. Move to the left, past Jessica
Calvello and Tristan MacAvery, and you'll note that Lisa Ortiz is poring
intently over a handful of papers. When Ortiz learned about this acting
seminar, she got one of her directors to E-mail her a script, which she
then edited and sent to the hotel fax machine. Then Ortiz grabbed the script
and ran to the seminar room. |

Costumer Sue Shambaugh (right) demonstrated how shoes
are an important part of costuming as her husband watched. Shambaugh said
that carefully-made anime costumes lose something when people insist on
wearing tennis shoes with them. The costumers also had a wild story about
the person who wanted to hold a headpiece in place, didn't know about adhesive
spirit gum - and hot-glued the piece to his head. |
