Project ILM has a new home, so those links have been updated. They have been working hard, and have many new stories available for reading.
I realize I should also use this page to write news about UY, but really nothing's happening with the series right now. There's been nothing new for well over a decade and even the English releases are in limbo. The only news that is remotely noteworthy is that contributor and host to this site Harley Acres has been in Japan for nearly two months now. In that time has been catching reruns of Urusei Yatsura on Japanese television on a local station in the town where he's studying. Apparently it's being replaced with another show in that timeslot, too bad. But it still plays off and on in syndication all over the country. As for updates, I've added more information on the character pages about the voice actors for Urusei Yatsura. October
06, 2002 Some of these have been up for a while, but I forgot to add an update about them. The biggest change so far is that there are many more entries on the cultural references page. At the moment, it's becoming my favorite part of the site to work on. Apart from providing valuable information about Urusei Yatsura, it's like I'm building my own guide to Japanese culture. It'll be a work in progress for a long time to come, but even now it's already a great resource. Check it out if you haven't yet. Also thanks to Frogisis, the 2nd issue of Kemo*Kobiru no Nikki has been translated and composited. It's available to read now. Apart from that, I've made a few fixes to the code. The movie pages no longer break-up using Internet Explorer on Macintosh, and some inaccurate links in the gallery have been fixed. August
31, 2002 Within the TV episodes summaries, I've added lists of my 10 favorite episodes from each TV season of Urusei Yatsura. Compare with your favorites or take them as reccomendations when deciding which UY tape to buy. I've also added a slew of new entries in the cultural references section. A lot of really fascinating information about aspects of Japanese culture that are seen in Urusei Yatsura Added another set of manga summaries, this time for volume 25. Uploaded and linked Harley Acres' translated scans for the 4th part of Takahashi's manga diary. Check the Fun with Rumiko area.
Summaries for tankoban volumes 9, 19 and 24 have been added to the chapter summaries section. Also corrections have been made to many of the existing summaries.
Summaries for tankoban volume 1 have been added to the chapter summaries section. Also the link labeled tomobiki.com on the upper left corner of the home page now links to the tomobiki.com site hub. Now you can access my personal page which includes my blog page, my profile and links to my J-pop Guide.
After a long summer offline Tomobiki-cho is finally back on the web. It's been relocated to furinkan.com and is now officially a part of the Rumic World pages. My official site domain www.tomobiki.com will be functioning in the near future but is still in the process of being transferred to this address. Until then, keep your bookmarks pointed to this URL. Apart from relocating Tomobiki-cho, as you can see it's been completely redesigned, restructured and expanded. Not only does it have a great new look, but its contents have been updated for the first time in 3 years. For those who are curious, to learn more about the reasons for the hiatus and the site's relocation, read the 3rd page of The History of Tomobiki-cho But that's in the past now. Tomobiki-cho is now looking to the future with a whole new set of features. The new features include:
