I also once wrote several pieces for a website on Asian pop-culture called Destroy All Monsters, but that site has since expired. I don’t know if those old pieces will surface on the replacement site, Yellow Menace, when that site relaunches sometime this year. I’ll update if those pieces turn up again.
For now, they were on the film RAN, the animes Voices of a Distant Star and Black Jack: Infection, and the manga Ranma½ (volumes 1 and 2).

I’m pretty sure that the story has vanished into the Buffalo News’s pay archives section, so I should probably just host it on the blog myself one of these days. Thanks for the reminder!
