	Well, my fiancee says her dream anime would be to get the whole 
Gundam team together with serious money, and do her story "Russian
Roulette".

	With me, there are three I'd like to do:

	1) Using preexisting anime: I'd want to get Sunrise to take over
from Toei and do the Saint Seiya stories we've written.

	2) "Fixing an old mistake" category: I'd want to get about a ton
of money, test out the proper animators and voice actors, and do
Doc Smith's _Lensman_ series RIGHT. Done properly, this could be one
hell of an awesome anime.

	3) In the original category, I'd like to anime-produce one of my
own stories. I've got quite a few that would fit the medium very well.


	Speaking of producing anime, I have another question. People mentioned
that one of the reasons that the anime god/anime antichrist Macek didn't use
more or better voice actors is because he can't afford them. 

	Why is that? Unless he literally pays them nothing, he could get
a large number of people who would be willing to do the job for virtually
nothing, and from whom he could select probably hundreds who would be very
good voice actors. I know that *I* could do better than the people he's got,
and I wouldn't charge much.

He's the only one who has that problem with anime.  As Neil Nadelman said
"we're weird compared to other translator.  Nobody else really cares much about
the subtitles, it's only the animation fans that demand that the subtitles 
be as close as possible to what they're saying."

I have seen a dubbed version of Windaria in a local video rental place.
So, I picked it up and watched it... I think I would have rather just

Only US audiences are so morally corupted that they'd pick up that

We've shown the dub a number of times at Zeta chapter meetings, and
nobody ever picked up on this.

Mind you, I'm so twisted (by Grimm's fairy tales from my childhood I
guess) that I always expected the nice old grannies (in Kiki) to try to

After seeing "Police Story" (subtitled in Chinese and English, if you

to be portrayed by Jackie Chan. It was sort-of like live-action anime,
zany action-comedy-romance, and I highly recommend that all of you in
MegaHouston forget about these Republicans, and run--do not walk--to the
Museum of Fine Arts on Bissonet, where Saturday night at 7:30, Jackie
will be appearing in "Armour Of God." Admission is $4.00 for the
hoipolloi and $3.00 for students. And, as Bill Cosby used to say in the
greatest American anime series, "If you're not careful, you might learn
something before we're through."

     No, I'm not kidding. Nakayoshi #8 had blurbs on all the planets plus
the moon and had pictures of Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and
Sailor Jupiter next to the appropriate paragraph. Nakayoshi #9 has pictures
of 5 Bishojo Senshi on the cover. I have been told that Sailor Jupiter will
appear in episode 25 and that Sailor Venus will appear in an episode some time
after that.

     A friend of mine drew the solar system and wrote the names of the planets
next to each orbit. They all contained kanji for "elements", ie fire, water,
wood, metal, etc. Mercury was water and Mars was fire. I think I remember
Jupiter to be wood and Venus to be metal but I'll have to get my dictionary
at home to confirm that (or one of the more literate folks can do that).

I saw (withstood) "MD Geist" at AnimExpo. Overall I give it a 3 out of 10.
The plot was akin to someone taking "Mad Max" and "Rambo" and applying
a blender. It was very predictable. The characters were stereotypical,
and the dialogue was goofy. The mecha looked incredibly uncool
and non-functional. When I saw the mega-carrier, I couldn't help
but to ask myself "How do you steer that thing? And aren't they lucky
there seems to be a road wide enough for it!"
Even the animation was cheap and riddled with mistakes and gaffs.
I counted 6. Three examples I can immediately recall are:
1) a scene where a gang of motorcycles cross the screen, when suddenly they
visibly jump up 1/4 of the screen height for 1 frame.
2) The villainess is climbing stairs. The stairs are visibly shuttling
back and forth. Very sloppy.
3) the commander is putting on his helmet. Wait! How did his hand get
IN his helmet? Oh it's out again!

I agree with RJ above. USMC seems to be going for the quick buck by
trying to pawn off low budget poorly done anime. I'm not impressed.
At least I can now say AnimExpo saved me money!  B-)

Have none of you noticed that there are virtually *no* male characters
in Project A-Ko?  Certainly none of the main characters are.  A-Ko is
a girl.  B-Ko and her underlings are girls (although some may wonder
about Mari's genetic makeup...).  C-Ko, we presume, is female, even
though she is an alien.  Ayumi-sensei is female.  The aliens are all
meant to be females ala Gall Force - in later Project A-Kos it is
revealed that the Captain is a female when she appears in an evening
gown.  D is a female with a deep voice and a tendency to cover except
on board the ship (It's a *joke*, guys - just like Mari has that
little girl's voice except when she's screaming Hokuto no Ken style -
D has a masculine voice when she's actually a female!  How can you
doubt otherwise after she appears in that battle bikini?!  Laugh at
it, fer chrissakes!).

About the only males are the ones in the military and some incidental
characters here and there - the construction worker, one of the teachers,
etc.  This here's a female-dominated movie!  I'm surprised you didn't
notice sooner...

It may not be _Hamlet_, but _Roger Rabbit_ isn't that immature.  Besides,
if you're going to call stuff on the level of _RR_ immature, you're going
to have to call most anime immature.  (Which most of it is, anyway).

On the other hand, a lot of the Disney stuff was much better than much of
what Japan puts out, and isn't all that cute.  (_Snow White_, for example,
is a landmark in animation.  _Pinocchio_ definitely has it's non-cute parts,
and is another landmark.)  I'm really tired of people putting down Disney
to "prove" that anime is good.
