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").
