Walk through Fantasy's four floors of office space in downtown Honolulu--a city chosen for its almost equidistance between Hollywood and Tokyo--and you'll see sleep-deprived animators getting strands of our heroine Aki's hair to waft just so, or watching endless video loops of voice talents James Woods, Alec Baldwin, Ming-Na and Ving Rhames trying to make their characters' lips move in exactly the same...

The scents of stale cigarette smoke and Aqua Net periodically waft into the crowded room as peddlers in blue aprons circulate selling instant Lotto cards. All eyes gaze up at the main stage where numbers dance around the monstrous Bingo Board. The hypnotizing pop of the gyrating bingo balls is only broken by the clickity-clack of chips flying across the players' boards...
