<< 	I'm sorry to bring this up on the ML, but I've been having a hell of a
 time verifying this and getting the information I need. After Bastard
 was released, an American comapny was rumoured to pikc it up. They took
 it and bastardized, no pun intended, Bastard. They crerated a series
 from it claled The Great Magnor or some such thing. They changed the
 story and the charatcers' names, and got horrid voice actors. I am
 looking for the comopany that did this, their name, address (if
 possible) and any information on whether they still exist. This will be
 a great help to me, since I need the information for a few profects I'm
 working on. >>

Well, I have no idea on this company that "bastardized" Bastard!, but I did
talk to the Pioneer reps at GenCon, and they said that they were going to
release Bastard! in the US.  {It's going to be interesting to see 1) the dub
cast; and 2) whether Pioneer is going to do about the end song "Monochrome
Trouble."}  They did not say when the release date is, however,  only that
they will release it.

       ---Besides, the only version of Bastard! that I've seen is the fansub,
and the group that did it did a very good job with it.
