I still want to see the original Jpns. versions (or at least subtitled) so
I can hear the original voices, music, & sound effects plus get to see
the original openings & endings.
If you own a business that
sells Manga &/or Anime related items & you want me to put it on my
listing of stores page, just e-mail or write me with the information.
Kodansha, which is one of the biggest publishers in Japan, publishes many Manga, alot of which have or will become Anime series &/or movies. Akira, Gunsmith Cats, Sailor Moon, & Saint Tail are a few examples. They also publish many books that have to do with the Manga & Anime they deal with, even a few in English. Here are their addresses :

Here are some links to some of the companies that
make or produce Anime & Anime based games. Some of these sites have (a
link to) an English version of the site &/or a link to the U.S.A. division
of the company if there is one. After some of the links (names) is a few
of the works they did (or had something to do with). Unless
your browser handles Japanese or you have a J.I.S. code based generator or
program running in the background, the Japanese on these web pages will be
"gibberish". Later versions of M. S. Internet Explorer & a few other
browsers have a downloadable program for use with the browser for viewing
pages in J.I.S., Shift J.I.S., or EUC code. Even newer versions
of M. S. I. E. have a program already in it. (Go to "View" on the menu bar,
then go to "Encoding", & select the one you need. (You may need to go
to "Other" or "More" to find the various Japanese codes.))
