I have been collecting all the Gundam 0083 LDs and have Vol. 1-11. I am 
still missing Vol 12 sice Laser Perceptions STILL has not recieved it! I 
am aware of thier reputation, but I still deal with them since they send 
to Canada VIA regular mail. If I order just the disk from Nikaku, Mikado, 
etc, they send by UPS and it ends up costing me masive bills in Custom 
handling fees (If it is a big irder it's not bad, but a small one like 
one disk can end up costing just about double when send by UPS to Canada.

Since I would like to get the disk in the near future, Can anyone out 
there tell me if there is somewhere I can order it from that will send it 
by regual air mail???? 
 
Thanks,
Vlad

Not to mention the blatent fip off of the glory soundtrack on Vol#2 track #6.
You may wonder what came out first, the lodoss war track or the 0083 track?
Both are probably done by the same people.

So I log on to tronsbox tonight, and find out it's going bye-bye (or at least
over to DOS) over the weekend.

Which probably means that rec.arts.anime is bye-bye along with it.

So, I'd like to thank some people for some interesting times and useful
information.

Megazone, Gryphon, and everyone at WPI that I met:  Thanks, people.  You're
a great bunch.  I still hope to visit again before you all graduate or somethin
like that.

Ryan and Larry:  Thanks for the stories.  I wish I could write like that.

Hitoshi Doi:  Thanks for the summaries.  Years from now, I'll be reading from 
them while watching Sailor Moon on TV, and people will go, "How do you KNOW..."

Robert Woodhead:  Keep up the good work....I know I'm enjoying my copies of
Kimagure Orange Road, and someday soon I WILL join the UY club.

Gryphon, again:  Keep the faith, friend.  Come visit Rochester.

It's been fun, and you people have gotten me back into a what was a passing
fad, and made me a fan.  (And I'm slowing picking up some Japanese, too...)

Take the second star to the right, people, then straight on till morning.

Later,
 Mephron

I like to think that my zine, _fps_, fits the bill.  We cover any and all
kinds of animation.  It's supposed to come out three times a year, but the
third issue's stuck in limbo at the moment (it should be liberated by the
end of the year.)  For Eurpoean orders, send $4.50 for one sample issue,
$24.00 for six issues (the figures are Canadian dollars; if it's easier
for you, send the equivalent in $US.)  Cheques/money orders should be made
out to Studio X, or to me, if you're so inclined.

Incidentally, some folks out in the net have sent inquiries or cheques
for _fps_, to which I say, "thanks!"  However, having moved recently (among
other things) there's been a bit of a snarl in my mail, and it's just
dribbling in.  Patience, kudasai.  Thank you.

 I would say Nene , although not quite as brazen as any of the other knight Sabers, is a very tough fighter and hardly a wimp...

As the previous poster reminds use, and I wholeheartedly agree, Nene was the
hero in BGC 8 .. saving the AD police building and the life of the Chief's
niece to boot :-)

not to mention  being lead guitar in a rock 'n roll band :-)

As a personal opinion ... VC&C folded ?? Yuppiyayeeee.... It sucked!

>italian animation fans are in the dark... :-(

Nope! Both Granata Press (Mangazine) and Star Comics (Kappa Magazine)
do good reviews of Anime stuff (the only of intyerest in THIS
newsgroup). Kappa Magazine, whose staff is the same that founded
Mangazine (it's a sad story of dreams and publishers, but it seems
it's turning to happy...), is the better one.

Anyway, they don't even consider U.S.A. products.

>The magazine I'm looking for should be quite general and should

I fear that VC&C was a the only one... And so sinked! Anime fans
usually don't like GI-joe and such ...

Hello, I posting this for a friend, but you can send all your
responses to me and I will forward them to him.

He was wondering if anyone has the complete list of shows to
the 'Battle of the Planets' show.  For those of you who can't
remember it, the characters were alot like the team from 
Voltron, 4 males and 1 female.  They had a ship called the Pheonix
which could 'flame-up', and inside the ship was 4 vehicles (one
for each (4 vehicles and the main ship)).  The characters names
were Mark (airplane), ? (race car), Tiny (Main ship), 'Be-bop' (tank?),
and Ariel? ('Yo-yo craft').

Anyway, he was wondering if anyone had some/all of these shows on tape,
and how much the person would want for copies.  

If anyone remembers anything more about this show, that info would be
helpful as well.

I have already posted this in rec.arts.animation.

Madoka should have no problem taking out Minmei, provided she wears a 
good set of earplugs. :)

I only saw about a minute of this.  The ``hero'' has a hexagram (a
six-pointed star inside a circle) on his hand, and when he punches
with this hand, his arm tends to go through the target.  He does this
twice during a scene in a sauna.

Any ideas?
