Well,they did set up a orbit,but my qualms have more to do with the mechanics
(_how_ did they set up the orbit) and the probability (_could_ psionics,no
matter how powerful the psi-users are,set up such an orbit) than the solutiion.
In addition,I'd have to say (IMHO) that it's a fairly hokey solution to a
massive problem--imagine a mystery/thriller in which antagonist X has set a
nuclear warhead's timer into action and protagonist Y is given 1 minute to
disarm the warhead despite all sorts of boobytraps and/or the inexperience of
Y in disarming such devices acting as hindrances.

I was told many weeks ago that Animag #3 was at the publishers.  
Supposedly, the staff had the issue in on time, but "problems" 
with the printing company had delayed the issue.  So, it should 
be out "soon".  

I sure hope #3 will be the issue on Anime Expo '91.  Any later,
and we'll be reading about last years con at Expo '92!

Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 23:11:58 GMT

I got a good chance to look at the Patlabor LD Box set today.  
Here's a few quick comments (or maybe not so quick..)

The big thing about the set was supposed to be new cover art
by Akemi Takada.  Well, she only did the cover and back of
the box itself.  Cover of box, Noa looking at ya.  Back of
box, the back side of Noa looking at ya (looks like she needs
some exercise.. :)
As for the covers of the LD sleeves, they have B&W photos of
Tokyo, bummer.
The booklet that comes with the set has pictures of all the 
original sleeves, pictures from the OP, copies of the original
press sheets, pictures of the cityscape around Tokyo, more 
copies of press sheets and ads (too small to read), pictures
of the original linernotes (also too small to read), credits,
and an ad for the CD Box set that was released last month (wonder
how that got in there..).

The contents of the discs:
Special Program "199X Tokyo On My Mind" (part 1)
CDV Contact 1 (v*part)
Video Vol 1 1/2 and Hiroko's Clip
Vol 1 "Dai-ni Shoutai, Shutsudou Seyo"
Vol 2 "Long Shot"
Vol 3 "Yon-oku Go-senman Nen NO Wana"
Vol 4 "L No Higeki"
Vol 5 "Ni-ka No Ichiban Nagai Hi" (part 1)
Vol 6 "Ni-ka No Ichiban Nagai Hi" (part 2)
Vol 6 1/2 "Kawaraban"
Vol 7 "Tokusha-tai, Kita E"
Access The Movie (is that like Enter the Dragon?...sorry, couldn't resist)
	Note: I've also heard "Access The Movie" called Vol 7 1/2 before.
"199X Tokyo On My Mind" (part 2)

overall, pretty nifty.  Hope this helps a few people out there.

Date: 26 Jan 93 03:00:00 GMT

I saw Fist of the North star and it left me with questions.

Why was Ken still Fist of the North star?  From what I got from the movie, 
whoever beats the FOTNS will be the next one.  Shin beat Ken, in the end this
other guy beats him too (what was his name?).  So what gives?

Another thing, why do they stress the Fist of the north star so much?  Was Shin,
who was the Fist of the South star not important?  How come it seemed that 
people didn't challenge Shin for the title?  

In the last scene Ken's girlfriend who was hung on a cross was seen falling.  
Did she die there?  Why was he looking for her in the end?  He comes across a 
paradise like land.  Then he sees an image of his girlfriend.  Does this mean
that she turned into that paradise or what?  

Last thing... what happened to Rey's sister?

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Ranma part 2 game-- another trick
Organization: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1993 04:51:31 GMT

I fooled around with the Debug mode and found out that you can play
psuedo scenario mode as Happosai.  
Go to scenario mode, pick a character, and as the screen fades in with the
VS pictures, press and hold the R, X, and A buttons.  You are now in
debug mode and can select Happosai as your character.  The game then cycles 
through the other characters to fight.  
But, the game was not programmed to allow play as Happousai in story mode,
so when you lose, the game locks up and you have t reset it (I hope this isn't
bad for it-- but how could it be?).  Something wierd-- when you win a battle,
the screen that shows the other character crying with some story text
usually isn't there.  But, once it WAS there as it usually is-- only
Happousai has lumps on his head and his eyes are spiraled as if he lost
even though I won.  Obviously, they didn't intend for thsis to happen.
Another time, the two little pictures were there on a VERY messed
up background.  Heh.
Oh, since there is no story associated with Happosai, the game never ends
as long as you keep on winning.  It just starts up again after you beat
Pansuto bull.
Any other tricks?

OK, I wasn't going to do this, but enough is enough.

Assuming the SDF-1 and the 1701-D are actually trying to destroy one another,
which is actually quite an assumption, the SDF-1 can only win if it gets off
the first shot. I'm willing to admit that the Main Gun could do the job.

However, if the Big Ent. survives, or whatever, all it has to do is move
around the  back of the SDF-1 , and start pounding away. End of story.

Wait, you say the SDF-1 can fold? Tactically, leaving a battlefield is identica
l to admitting defeat. The same goes for warp btw.

What about the Veritechs?  Armed with a railgun and missles.  Sure the Big E
can't target a whole lot of VT's, but with phasers on a wide spread, travelling
 at c, I think the fighters are toast.

Personally, I think it'd go more like this:

Worf: Captain, an unidentified ship has decloaked.
Picard: Open Hailing frequencies Lt.  This is Jean-Luc Picard, of the USS Enter
        prise.  What are your intentions?

Data: The aliens are transmitting on an archaic video signal.  It can be traced
      back to the TV of the twentieth century, which was...

Picard: Shut up Data. Onscreen.

Capt. Gloval: Excuse me, but is this Earth? I've run out of tobacco and
              earplugs.

Picard: No, but we can replicate those for you. We'll be right over.

Arthur Dent: Is there any tea on this starship?
Picard: Earl Grey, piping hot.
             [sorry, wrong parody]

      Minmei falls in love with a visiting Wesley, and both get sent back to
  Earth.  They adopt an orphan named C-ko, who learns cooking from Akane Tendou
  And they all live happily ever after. OK! So lets get started on something

fires and hits the normal space, impulse-drive-travelling Enterprise

Orion. The Federation tech can detect, range, and fire on targets in

     I think Innovation did the English language version of the Sazan Eyes
comic, not Viz. As far as I know, sales lagged substantially behind
expectations such that they barely dragged it to the promised number of
installments.

     Sazan Eyes is being dubbed by Streamline. I have seen the first episode.

Can anyone describe in detail the manufacturing process of a compact disc?
If the reflective material used contains iron or some other rust-susceptable
metal (remember, we're talking about *oxidizing*), and enough air makes it
to the CD for a extended duration, then theoretically there could be "rot".

But the hype about laser rot came from LDs, when a batch of sandwiched LDs
were released ('87?), and was in a sense coming apart at the seams.

If you really want to worry, start thinking about the chemically not-so-inert
ink used on the CDs themselves...

Well Crystal Triangle has been subbed by U.S. Manga Corps.  You can probably
get a copy of it.  Support the anime industries by buying a copy.  You could
probably find a copy of it in Toronto at the Silver Snail or you can usually
order it from a video shop.

The song isn't a regional one.  It's been placed in Chicago
and I have also heard the remixed version with the moaning
of Trixie.  If you like House music or dance music, this
is a good one.  What's even better about the moaning

is still pretty small.  Some of the things I'm looking for are:


   1. Size of Market in $$

   2. Estimate of Consumer Population (maybe they're equivalent to the
                                       manga-buyer population)

   3. Segment Details: Sub-titled, Dubbed, & non-translated sector %'s.

   4. Who the major companies doing the importing and translations for
      the U.S. market. (This is probably in a faq somewhere?)

   5. Who the major producers of anime in Japan are.


Perhaps some kind soul could direct me where I could find the answers
for the above questions, if no one here on the net has the data offhand.
Please email me, if the data are a closely-guarded secret :-).  Only my
instructor and myself will see the term paper.  Thanks!
