You LIKED the Sentinels?!?!?    (shudder)  Maybe you ought to have your head
examined.

The footage from the 90 min Sentinels videotape was taken from footage of 
the pilot episodes of Sentinels commissioned by Macek, I believe.  This was
spliced together with some new animation to help smooth things out and sold in
video tape format.  The entire reason the tape was released was because the
pilot shows had FLOPPED and Macek wanted some way to help cover his loses on
the commissioned footage for the pilot episodes.

To the best of my knowledge, there ARE NO other upcoming episodes, OAV's, etc.

I thought that voice sounded formiler (sp:). He has a great voice. He didn't
sing the song Lonly Solier Boy from Robotech did he? 
I just got the Robotech: Sentinels (I liked it) the 90 minute version and they
had a preview of the UP COMING shows. THEY CHANGED ALL THE VIOCE!!!! THEY CAN'T
DO THAT!!!! At the begining of the preview it siad something about they lost
thier work copy. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT!!!! Rick Hunter sounds like some blonde 
muscle bound bodybuilder. And when Rick and Lisa are in Lisa's room it sounded
like a scene from a pron movie. Something like. "I what you Lisa, give it to
me" or something like that.

Maybe Carl Macek couldn't aford Jimmy Flinders after the first three Sentinel
show. I've never said this before but. MACEK MUST DIE, NOW!!!! The Sentinels 
was a great show, now I don't know. I think I have said enough for now.

Since we're talking about cons and when and where, I thought I'd add
my $0.02 to the discussion.

In the northeast, except for leaf-changing season (a bit of september
and october) winter, fall, and spring are cheap times to get a hotel
for a convention. Why? Beacause everyone worries about the weather. So
maybe we should have a con somewhere in the northeast in the winter?

I have a few questions about Maison Ikkoku:
 
1) How many manga books are there in the series. I am told there are 22, 
is this correct?
 
2) Can anyone tell me which of the many CDs available has Music and the 
Openning, closing songs from the TV series? Are they the Music Blends Vol 
1 &2??

3) Is the TV series Box set still available?
 
4) Are there any art/Cell books available? I am sure that there are none 
as in the case of Orange Road, Lum, or Ranma.... 
 
Thanks,

Was this at the "Meet the Guests" gathering?  If I remember correctly,
Tomino-san's wife was indeed complemented, although I think it more
about her "fashion."  The person asked Fred Schodt to tell Okusan
that her dress was very "modern/stylish."  She seemed to take the 
compliment in stride...but then again she might have put on good
face.  Still, neither of the pair acted slighted when I spoke to
them.

Who exactly started this one, anyways?  (perhaps Mike Tats. or
another staff member could comment?)

Milk is played by Yokoyama Chisa, a rising star in the field of
voice acting. Here's the list of the roles she played.

Felice (Black Magic M-66)
Kotomi (Brave Exkaiser)
Milk (Lamune & 40)
Rupipi (Minky Momo)
Haruko (Roujin Z)

She also played one of Nina's friend in Gundam 0083.

Was this line noise intended? It's a common gag to talk about something really
neat, that everyone would be interested in, but right before we find out 
about any specifics, "oops, got bumped due to baud barf".

I think the keywords here are "life style".  (Is an "addiction" to
manga really an acceptable life style?)  If you make anime (or manga
or star trek or pop stars) your entire life, you can expect to get
scorn or pity from the rest of the populace.

Being in the club scene as long as you have you probably notice that the 
bigger a fan club get the thicker the politics gets. Beleiving otherwise is

Well, it doesn't help when the source material is pathetic: There were holes
in that story big enough to walk a mobile suit through: If Bahamuto had des-
igned after late 20th century Japan, how did the bikers get all those guns? 
You can't belive they built them themselves. This combined with standard-issue
teenage angst made up for such a lame script that not even the relatively
decent sex & violence couldnt make up for it.....

_Grendizer_ was marketed in French as _Goldorak_ - I never missed an episode.

I've seen it in English in video stores under the name _UFO Robot Grendzer_.

The two shows (I was a fan of both) are dissimilar.  As I missed the original
