Well, there are only 6 OAVs to Macross II.  So, if USR is doing two episode
/tape, then three is all you get.  And yes, there was a blurb in the
November Anime-V (or was it November Newtype) about Macross III in summer
'93. ^O^

It is in production as of a few days ago, so it should be about
10 days until you get it.  However, Janice and Peter are in England
right now, so there may be a couple of days delay.

We apologise for the delays.  Blame those obnoxious aliens, it's all
their fault.  We're very embarrased about it all, and should be back
on schedule in a month or two.

The BGC LD should be coming out on time, +- a few days; we are ahead
of schedule on that.

I don't particularly find it surprising that the Italian TV can put on good
quality japanime.  In countries like Italy, France and Japan, there already
exists a big domestic industry specializing in dubbing foreign language films
(read English language films from US) for the domestic audience.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect the same amount of professionalism
from US operators: the pool of actors they can draw on alone is probably 
already very shallow.

Not necessarily.  Remember there is the "Borg Collective Conscious."  They
would be able to "feel" when one cubeship was destroyed, and probably be able
to send other ships to the area.  Plus, the knowledge of the previous Borg
would be assimilated into the Collective Consciousness.

I'm sorry, but is it me, or is this becoming like one of those "I bet the Hulk

I got to see some Magical Taruruuto-kun this week (courtesy of Robert
Thompson and HD himself).  I'd read the manga for a while, and thought
it was time to check out the anime.

Everything was pretty much as I expected, except Honmaru's voice sounded
a bit more whiney than what I imagined (done by Takayama Minami -- yes,
the actress who does Nabiki!).  But I got used to it eventually, and
ended up liking it.  The voice acting for Rui, Harako and Mari-sensei
(Tsuru Hiromi [Ukyou]) was exactly how I imagined it.

It's definitely a kids' anime.  (Fortunately, I got this tape with the
TV ads on it.  When people tape anime off TV, they usually cut out the
ads -- omitting valuable information about the audience.  I think this
omission is responsible for a lot of people misguidedly saying how "mature"
anime is, or whatever.)

However, while it IS a kids' anime, it has an adult sophistication
that's hard to describe.  The slapstick and fights can appeal to anyone,
of course, but there's all this underlying H (lolicon) stuff, and a lot
of tongue-in-cheek stuff... it's really hard to describe.  Maybe it's
kind of like Sailor Moon in that respect.  I can only say that it's a lot
clearer in the manga. ^_^

Anyway, I think it's fairly well done, and from what I saw, it's very
faithful to the manga.  It'll probably become my favorite kids' anime.

Pardon me, but if you haven't been keeping up with R.A.S.T. then you
would know that in TNG no one fights at FTL speeds anymore or more 
accurately, cannot fight at FTL speeds.  Warp is used for chasing or
running away in TNG.

The only people who fought at FTL were Kirk and his generation...

And to throw in my two credits, the Zentreadi will win because they are
expecting to fight.  The borg were as good as dead in Picard's first
encounter with them, but Picard lost his oppurtunity to finish the
Borg off.  The Zentreadi are a little more single-minded, they shoot to
kill and really don't care to ask questions later.  If for some reason
the Zentreadi folds then if the Borg stays at its normal combat range
(i.e. 2-3 ships lengths apart) the fold will rip the Borg cube apart.
This is my opinion of course, until someone films it :)

They have, far as I know, stopped doing this, because lots of people

They're not doing it for a living, and they do put out a lot of

wait 8 years to see it all.

I've never had either of the other two problems you mention.

Organization: Physio-Control

I'm writing to make you aware of Oblagon: an extraordinary science fiction art book featuring the works of visionary illustrator, industrial designer, and futurist Syd Mead. A large portion of this book is devoted to the conceptual and pre-production artwork he did for Star Trek: the Motion Picture (including a full side view drawing of V'Ger!), Tron, 2010, Blade Runner, and no less than three promotional posters for ZZ Gundam!

The first of these is a 3/4 view dynamic posed ZZ Gundam reaching towards the viewer. The next shows a Zaku squad attacking a pastoral portion (why?) on the inside of one of those thundering large Side space stations, and the third is a full-blown space battle in close proximity to a Side. The rest of the book often features views of towering, enormous mega-structures on and off the Earth. The text is Japanese and English.

The publisher in the US is:

Oblagon
1716 North Gardner
Los Angeles, CA  90046

Oblagon is the sequel to his equally impressive first book Sentinel (which has nothing to do with Robotech Sentinels or Sentinel Gundam). I don't know if it's being printed yet, but it is still available in a variety of stores. Even if you have to search for it, I think it's VERY much worth the effort and time.

Definitely the Science fiction Genre.  Contrary to popular belief,
I think that kids will be ATTRACTED to anime plots that are hard to
understand because they will be thinking "Wait a minute...the plot isnt

Dude...It HAS to be "SUPERNATURAL BEAST CITY"...I wish someone would
do a GOOD dub of this and release it to the theatres...It would KICK
ASS!  I cannot WAIT for part 2...it looks even awesomer!!!  

Oh yes, "Nausicaa and the valley of the wind" would do well, as would
every mobile suit gundam movie.

And let's not forget "DAGGER OF KAMUI".  This is the ONLY animated film
EVER that had a special guest appearance by MARK TWAIN!  (Also the only
ninja movie to have navaho indians and gunfighters in it too!)
I refer to this as the "Dances with wolves" of anime, because its 3
house long :)  I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking that 
because it has ninjas, mark twain, and gunfighters in it that this
movie beyond cheesey, like the episode of star trek titled 
"the savage curtain"  that has Abraham Lincoln getting into a wrestling
match with Ghengis Kahn. (yes, this really did happen in star trek)
But no...the animation is AWESOME (almost better than akira) and I
personally garuntee that there will be no wrestling matches between
famous historical figures.

>What anime would YOU like to see as OAVs,

CREAM LEMON!!!! I can just see it now...   :)

>What anime would YOU like to see replacing Tom & Jerry Kids on TV...

People here have forgotten the most OBVIOUS CHOICE.  MOBILE SUIT
GUNDAM!!  There are YEARS of episodes of gundam...since 1979 in fact!
Hell, the gundam animation from 1979 beats the american animation of
1992!  

My second choice has to be the ORIGINAL "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman"

>What anime would YOU think could be as popular, supplement, or replace
>popular shows such as Ren & Stimpy and The Simpsons ??

Again, Mobile suit gundam.  Oh yes, and "Detanator Orgun."
And Gall Force, and Sonic soldier Borgman.

	Jitsu wa... (Actually)

	The Genki is from the November Newtype. Fans of the long stalled
'B kata doumei' (B type Union) will find a two page spread by Yun Kouga
with several nekojin and a short 4 panel comics in which Ami complains
about the heat to Matilda (who's in her neko form).
	The 2 pages are entitled 'Bangai Hen' - the extra part of a book.
Yun Kouga sensei also writes a short greeting to her readers and adds,
"The time is the future. The place is the world of B Type Union where the
people with B type blood are raising an uproar! Another issue (of B kata
doumei) isn't that far off..."
	
	There is no B kata doumei anime. The first set of stories has been
collected into a manga published by Newtype 100% Comics. There are 3 CD's
out - published by Kitty Records - which has background music to read the
manga by. One of the CD's is a drama CD - actors and actresses read and
perform the manga's story.

	I guess it's time to clean up the Nekojin listing and post it
