Relatively new to the anime industry, Synch-Point producer Stephanie Sheh is one intimidating Chinese lady, standing 4' 9" Stephanie got some attention at Fanime 2001 when she announced that Digital Manga, Inc. had licensed Gainax/Production I.G's much anticipated "FLCL" and plan to release it in the US by the end of this year. Akadot finds her one sunny, Los Angeles afternoon in her DMI office where she came off not as desperate as this week's Random Q and A makes her sound. A la Furi Kuri, if you could have a musical instrument strapped to your back, what would it be and what would you do with it? SS: It would be a tuba and it would go off every time I farted so that no one could hear me really cut one. It would
also give off fragrant odors...oh and make men love me.
Name your top five sexiest men of anime. SS: Spike Spiegel ("Cowboy Bebop"), Dryden Fassa ("Escaflowne"), Touga Kiryuu ("Utena"), Akito Hayama ("Kodomo no Omocha") -
I know he's just a kid, but I just can't help myself. - Yutaka Takenouchi...oh wait he's not an anime character.
Is Carl Macek an enemy of anime? SS: Well, when it comes down to it, "Robotech" primed a lot of my generation for anime. It was our first
exposure to anime and it wet our palate for more to come, so it can't be that bad right?
Can you draw your way out of a paper bag? SS: Yes I can draw scissors. No...wait. I would draw some really hot guy to come and take
me out of the paper bag. Am I coming off as too desperate?
If aliens landed and ordered you to take them to your leader to whom would you take them? SS: I know to whom I WOULDN'T take them, George W. Bush. Oh! I would take them to Takenouchi,
he can lead me anywhere. But he would run away from me, far, far away. Smart man.
What is your most intimidating quality? SS: My height.
Who would win in a fight between Evangelion 001 and Voltron? SS: Which Voltron the lions or the cars? The lions rocked! The cars sucked! Hmm...that's a tough one. Which one is Eva 001?
Shinji's Eva goes psycho. It would be a good fight, but I think the Eva would win out.
Name three of the seven wonders of the ancient world. SS: Atlantis. Those statues from the Bandai Visual Emotion opening. And Bob Dole.
Oda ouya nowka igpa atinla? SS: Yes, but only on Sundays after 3 pm.
In addition to "FLCL" (Gainax/KGI/Production I.G), Sheh is also in production for the US release of "I'm Gonna Be An Angel" ("Tenshi ni Narumon") from Studio Pierrot, Bandai Visual and TV Tokyo also planned for later his year. Synch-Point is a division of Digital Manga, Inc., which is also the parent company of Akadot.com. |
