   Does anyone have an episode guide/list for Genesis Climber Mospeada?

The booklet with my box set doesn't meantion anything about an acronym and
its never written in anyway that indicates an acronym.  Still I'll have
the local translators check it out to be sure, my Japanese isn't that good. :)

What I'd really like to know is why the Invid (Inbit in my liner notes)
left their planet and took over earth.  The notes don't seem to go into
that much.  Anyone know?  And I don't mean the Robotech version, I want

Same show.  Make sure to see the Japanese version, since Battle of the
Planets had all the good violence cut out (and 7-Zark-7 added in).

There are at least 20 of the Japanese episodes available on tape.  
For the rich, there exists a limited-edition laser disc set with all 
the episodes.  There is also a "movie" version, with footage of the
episodes spliced together.

The Japanese also made two (inferior) sequels to Gatchaman:  
Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter.

By the way, one of the questions at the AnimeExpo game show was
to name the five members of Gatchaman.  None of the contestants
knew.  But I did!  "Mark" = Ken, "Jason" = Joe, "Princess" = Jun,
"Cheops" = Jinpei, something lame like "Chunky" = Ryuu.

Actually, I believe competition is a healthy thing. If the Japanese see more 
than one or two conventions devoted to anime poping up here in the US they  
might decide to take us more seriously.

If you mean "the only male singer character", no.  The main character
in TO-Y is also a singer (but then again, the anime is ABOUT an "alternative"
Japanese rock band).  Any others?

If you mean "the only male singer", certainly not.  There are several out
there.

Well, according to Animag 8, Keizo Shimizu did the character design
for Nolandia, but there is no mention of character design (or art
direction or director, etc) for the TV eps in Animag 4.

No, there is no sequal for F-91. Considering how badly it did, and how 
very unpopular it is with Gundam fans, I don't thing that we will ever 
see anything more from Gundam F-91. I guess that just because it's 
Gundam, it doesn't mean it has to be good....

	Well, why else should Carl work on dubbing anime?  Because he's nice? 
Because the art is cool and meaningful?  Because he just happens to have
a few extra hundred-thousand around to buy the rights to a series, hire
translators and voice actors, and pay for the equiptment to mass-produce
tapes?
	TANSTAAFL, my dear.  He's got to earn a salary too, ya know - he needs
to be compensated for the time/effort he puts in (yeah, I know that
sometimes the _quality_ of that effort is lacking, but deal...).
	Sometimes I think that people are confused about what "making a profit"
means.  A company can only charge for its product what that product is
worth (i.e. - what it cost to produce it, including the salaries of all
those involved).  If a company charges more than that, some other
company will undercut them, or no one will buy their product, forcing
them to lower prices.  Laissez-faire capitalism at its best.  Making a
profit is a good thing...
	I also don't understand the "art for art's sake" concept.  If you're an
artist, and you produce something worthwhile, shouldn't you expect
people to value what you've done?  Hell yes.  The better the art, the
more someone should pay for it.  Those who cry that art shouldn't be
sullied with money, obviously aren't producing work that is of value...
	Remember: money = time + energy, and none of these are good or evil -
it all depends on how you use it.

Thanks for indulging me on this.  We now return to our regularly

Videosmith now has a "Contemporary Animation" section, mostly Streamline and

MUD since some people love to fight. But anyways, that won't be a bad idea.
The only problem is finding the site to allow you to hold it. I think people
