I have had this LD for quite some time now! I never realized it was a Tanaka work! It's been a long time since I've seen it, but IS there a second LD? I've never been able to find another in the "series." The reason I bought it was because there were really cool battleship fleet artillery duels on the high seas. Since the Olympos lasers (on the moon!) shoot down all aircraft over a couple hundred feet, the battleship (well, cruisers, actually) has become once more the king of the high seas. Since I can understand very little of the dialogue, much about the plot and characters eludes me. I'd almost assumed that the series wasn't successful enough to release a second part, as this is the first time I've heard anything about it anywhere. I had the title translated also, but it could be interpreted a number of ways. I'll try to find it. I'd love to get a copy of your script/work on timing/whatever, just to find out what's going on (and to see part 2 of the "series"). Regards, Scott Swoboda
