The Gundam Sentinels and the GP03 are some of the best designs in the Gundam
Universe. I have not seen anything which could rival the sophistication of 
the EX-S. The GP-03 although it seems bulky in its M.A form is actually quite
nice. I do know what you mean about the 'overdoing' in the Sentinels series
though. Not only are the suits better looking, they're more technically
superior and feasible than suits which were built years later.
 
Consider the fact that the main beam smart gun of the EX-S and S-Gundam are
approximately 60 MW in power and also consider the fact that the Thruster
output on the S-Gundam with booster unit exceeds 280 tonnes in output. Even 
forgetting the bloody deep striker unit the S series has much more firepower
than anything before, during, or after. The series really broke all records
with the Zod 'Iacock though. How could a thing with so much firepower and such
large size be classified as a 'mobile armor'??
 
Perhaps the only Gundam in the Sentinels series I don't like very much is the
Mk.V, I don't know but it just doesn't look very good. Sorta like a Psycho
Gundam (maybe that's because it's built on the Psycho Gundam). 
 
The point is I do know what you mean about the sentinels series. It's wayyyy
over the hill. 
 
I usually don't post on r.a.anime but a conversation about Gundam mechanics is
something I just can't resist breaking into.

I finally got to watch the Kimagure Orange Road movie tonight (with
aid of a script), after watching episodes 47 and 48 several months
ago.  I liked it!  It actually evolved the plot and characters, which
the TV series often didn't (the sole thing I disliked about it). 
Anyway, my question is this:  Is there more?  The story seemed like it
should go on.  Is this the same point the manga ended, or did the
manga actually follow Kyousuke & Madoka to college?

Yah, but did you notice that all the animation and drawing became very

Tom Mitchell sent me mail some weeks ago informing me that Stuff 17 was
available on CompuServe.  I downloaded it, but noticed that is was coming
across as a MacBinary II file (you Mac people should know what this means).
I though that was odd for an ARC file that supposedly came from an IBM or an
Atari, but I shrugged and continued with the download.  When I tried to
unARC the file, MacARC reported no problems (except that it crashed a few
times while I was using it, which is normal).  But AS17G01.GIF came out
corrupted.  I went back to CIS and downloaded the file a couple different
ways, each time to the same result: one of the GIFs was corrupted.  At that
point, school began and I got distracted from solving this problem.

The net result was the Stuff 17 didn't get posted on time and I wasn't ever
able to figure out why the first GIF was coming out corrupted.  A couple
days ago someone uploaded a new stuff17.arc, but I didn't get a chance to
download it and look at it.

I just looked at stuff17.tar.Z.  While the text file is OK, I see that the
GIFs are entirely corrupted (file sizes less than 2K each).  Thus, we are
left with only the text file and no GIFs -- pretty much the same position
we were in a week ago.

I appologize for the delay.  I'm still working on getting AS17G01 readable.
Meanwhile, stuff17 is in the directory anime/new on network.ucsd.edu.

  Well, for whatever reason the animated versions didn't want to deal with the
ESP question, so it simply disappeared.  Since the comics can't be fit into
the same continuity anyway, there isn't any reason not to go for the interestingstory.  (And it did make a good anecdote!)
  Like so many others, I'm writing a Dirty Pair story which is currently
pending a rewrite of the first draft.  (Why is there so much fanfic based on
the Dirty Pair?  Why is it being posted now?  I started this before Renegades
or Angels in Paradise were being posted...)  For the story I have to tell,
it's necessary to follow the comics continuity even though I prefer the anime
version.  Therefore Kei and Yuri only faked their ESP.
  They only have used ESP in the novels and 'Affair of Nolandia'--and you
could argue that in that movie the ESP flashes were being done TO them if you
cared to stretch credibility a bit.  I don't think that the difference is too
great.  After all, when have the Dirty Pair stories been particularly strong
on continuity, anyway?

I disagree completely!  Ranma is a complete bastard who doesn't deserve
Ukyou at all.  While he does feel a lot of obligation towards her, and
has told her that she looks cute, he doesn't even like her a little bit.
Ukyou is too good for him.  She would be much better off with Ryouga,
who at least is tough and emotional and generally a good match for her
intense Osaka personality. (^_^)  I'd like to see the bit where Ryouga
saves Ukyou in the second movie.

Ryouga is too morbidly infatuated with Akane to have a proper relationship
with her.  (Akane doesn't like him either.)  He even went to the lengths
of trying to make her fall in love with him using the koi fishing rod
-- but he got Ranma instead.  And when Ranma had fallen in love with him,
Ryouga was going to take advantage of that to KILL Ranma (so he could
have Akane).  But when Ranma-chan said that she would kill herself if
it would make Ryouga happy, Ryouga couldn't go through with it. :-)

Anyway, that's in the recent manga, so it's time to stop posting here
right now. ^_^


Now, where did I put that life..

Nope, I don't smoke. Iron 28FX take place 40 years
after the original series and Getter Robo Go DOESN'T take
place in the same universe as previous Getter Robo Series
(however, manga version of Getter Robo Go takes place 15 years
after Getter Robo G). Same is true for Dekkaman Blade.

Iron Man 28FX is a same type of sequel as Z Gundam and F-91 (I'm not
talking about the quality here) while Dekkaman Blade and Getter
Robo Go are TOTAL revisions of original anime with entirely 
different cast. Do you think people will want Gundam re-make
without characters like Amuro, Char and Bright Noah?

How about an work as an *actual* japanese animator? I have a friend who got 
a chance to work for a japanese animation company as an animator and he 
still works there too. Basically, he's one of those that draw all the

I believe it's supposed to be possible for humans to survive in a vacuum for
a short time. (This is based on tests done on monkeys, if my memory is correct)
You're not real happy about it though, capillaries burst, especially in the
nose, and the whole thing is probably an amazingly uncomfortable experience,
but generally you'd die of suffocation before any major damage occurred.

This is based on some article I read a while ago.

it's definitely not Larva's hand. The scene I'm talking about is on the
third episode after Himiko helps Miyu past the Armored monster. If the
Hand is a shinma's to punish Larva for failing to kill Miyu, then how
did the Renegade Shinma find the time to punish Larva, especially since
Larva himself came across the ocean to get there. It seems that Larva
appeared, was punished and was Miyu's servant all in one night. Any
