During the One Year War, the Jion did try to attack the Solar System with
rocket powered asteriod rocks. ^_^  Evidently it survived or the Feds had
more mirrors.

:	I will add a couple of my favorite anime opening sequences:
:	Yoroiden Samurai Troopers OAV: Keikotai. Lovely animation, and
:beautiful coordination of the scenes. I can't comment on the appropriateness
:of the song since aside from "eyes" and "it's the time... do the best" 
:I can't understand it.

Me too! Me too!
And the song came from the TV series, perhaps if you had watched the TV
series, it woudl make more sense.  But songs never male much sense to me
anyway. 8-)
The OP from Yoroiden Samurai Trooper - Gaiden was not bad, very
beautiful position with the weapons and transformations (busou!).

At least now I know that somebody actually watched Yoriden.  I was
beginning to wonder why such a nice OAV is not available in the US.

<ENGAGE PISSED-OFF-AND-NOT-GOING-TO-TAKE-IT-ANYMORE MODE>

If I see -one- more person use the "Cyberpunk" RPG from R.Talsorian as their 
source for a definition of cyberpunk, I'm going to write a bloody Internet 
Worm or something....... 

Cyberpunk has -nothing- to do with any of those "rules" you've listed. 
Cyberpunk as a literary or film genre is essentially postmodern fiction with 
SF trappings. Cyberpunk as a personal attitude isn't even definable; as it was
recently said on alt.cyberpunk, "Cyberpunk may be attitude, but it sure as hell
isn't -one- attitude."

Cyberpunk has evolved beyond Blade Runner and _Neuromancer_ clones; CP is about
people and a changing world, and the way that 'pop' culture has spliced itself 
into everyday life and our own psyches. It's not high-tech or low-life; it
doesn't require darkness or violence. 

BGC succeeds as an action film; it fails to be "cyberpunk". It gives us no new
insight on the human condition, it has no metaphor or symbolism, and it lacks 
any real -punch-.

Sorry about the minor flame; I've just gotten so -sick and tired- of people
thinking that the -trappings- of CP are what is important, when it's the 
meaning -behind- those trappings that makes CP what it is. 

If you want a really -tight- work on CP, go get a copy of _Storming_The_
_Reality_Studio_ by Larry McCaffery.

U-matic? You still use that in the US? :) Our University uses it to
demonstrate ancient technology <snigger>. LD or SVHS, I'd say would be
best. (Of course, 1-inch master tapes would be even better, but I don't
work in the TV industry any more.) :( How anyone can go back to normal
tapes after having worked with 1-inch is beyond me. :)

The problem is that this kind of logic applies to almost ALL anime,
not just Gundam 0083. :-) BTW, according to Takanashi Minoru, Bandai
didn't make any money on 0083, at least not YET. :)

Personally I don't see anything wrong with putting a real nuke into
GP02. Unless you test with a real thing, the result of the test
wouldn't have much meaning. But the problem with GP02 is that the
test was TOO successful. :-)

Yo Mitch,
       I wish it could be done, but the point you raise is a good one.  I've 
seen the first film myself, and when I compare it with 0083, I have to say that 
while the stories are excellent, the animation in MS GUNDAM doesn't stand up to 
0083.  And against CHAR'S COUNTERATTACK, it's terminated.  But then again, why 
not release it anyway?  I'm sure that those who read the Del Rey novels would 
want to know more, but they would probably wonder WHY most of the movie takes 
place on Earth and not in space (But then again, Tomino never mentioned the 
RX-75 Guntank, did he? Or for that matter the Zion-G or the MS-14 Gelgoog or 
the Gog or the--wait, I'm getting ahead of myself here).
     You hit the nail on the head though--if they are still selling Star 
Blazers tapes, then GUNDAM should have a chance at being subbed/dubbed.  But, 
as Mr. Kim suggested, they should try something recent--like 0083, or even 
0080.

I'd like to take a little quiz here...

1.  Excluding "hentai" pink anime, do characters with "huge" breasts (not
just "large", but huge, i.e. larger than you'd expect for a character her
age and height) prevail in anime?

2.  Before getting into anime and manga, did you read American comics,
specifically those put out by Marvel and DC?

The reason that I ask that is because it has occurred to me that the
reason I don't see most anime women as having "huge" breasts is that
I heavily collected American superhero comics from '86-'90.  Believe
me, bustlines in those comics blow those of anime women right out of the
proverbial water.  I think that after reading that stuff for so long,
and getting used to their concept of the ideal female form, I saw
anime characters as small breasted by comparison.  I'm just curious
to see what others think.

And let me head off the assinine question "Which do you prefer on an
anime character" by saying that I have no preference.  All anime females
look attractive, if they're meant to and the artist is competent.

(I will say, though, that it's hard to take seriously a female soldier,
mercenary, or policewoman whose chest is so large it would get in the way
of fighting...)

Lum before (except for the silly Ghost Goat one that I won't mention), and
was delighted to find that Dreamer was weird and surrealistic (besides, I
am a sucker for stories on the theme of dreams).  Unfortunately, I couldn't

US Manga is supposedly releasing a subtitled Beautiful Dreamer in VHS

The tactic is to hook people into Gundam with 0083 and 0080 and THEN

That's EVERY Gundam fan's dream. If Bandai remake the original
Gundam with the budget and the staff of 0083, I have very little
doubt about its success.

- Exactly what it says; I'm looking for Minki Momo episodes for the hell of it,
- with preference to the newer series starting from eps 1 (Just need more
- gab from Megumi H...)

- But if someone has copies of the first series, I would still be interested.
- ALso looking for Creamy Mami episodes..
- and also FreeKick, if someone knows about it..

- Any kind soul?

I also would be interested in getting episodes of Minki Mono and Creamy 
Mami, too.  I read an article on the "Magical Girl" anime from Anime 
Hasshin and it sounded interesting.  Anyone willing to trade?
