I think your reading too much into Project A-ko.  You said the movie was 86
minutes... Same from the Japanese movie.  Firstly the names are just that.  
As for A-ko she's the Daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman.  (Take a read good
look at her parents! The father looked like Clark Kent and her mother looked
like (What's Wonder Woman ideantity?) and not only that she was sowing up a
Superman suit! (Check it out)  It's really a joke, but it does explain A-ko!
C-ko just simply a girl from Outer space!  And B-ko, just your average
technologicly advance engineer in grade school! (You figure it out!)  
I find trying to make sense of Project A-ko stupid because the whole thing
incrediably stupid! (I LOVE IT!)

Yes we are going to do that.  Actually, for the minor characters, we
are going to have to have Kitty do some new cels of those characters.
Next up is Shinobu, then Cherry, Sakura, Ran, Benten and Oyuki, I
think.

I don't remember the original japanese translation (Michael House will
I'm sure post the gory details) but "make like a stocking and run,"
while it isn't as literal as we usually are, conveys the true meaning
of what Cherry says -- another way of saying it might be "get going
while the getting is good!"

The puns drive us nuts.

     Hello!  Yeah, it's me again, the same guy who asked the million-dollar 
question: How about some more original anime stories?  Well, it's good to see 
that there was a healthy response.  A lot of people out there have great ideas 
for fan-fics, and the newest ones on the net are quite good!
     All right, my turn.  I've been toying with the idea of doing an original 
GUNDAM story for the past year now.  The working title is now Mobile Suit 
Gundam 0082: Trial by Fire.  I still have a few details to work out, so it 
won't be on the net until January.  
     The story is a sequel to 0080, in which the Federation send a fourth 
Gundam (actually an enhanced NT-1 Gundam) to a Federation colony.  Unfortunate-
ly, there's just one problem:  a Jion splinter group is present, and now the 
sparks fly.  The Gundam's test pilot is also going to face a tough challenge 
because the leader of the Jion team is also his ex-lover.  There will be no 
Newtypes in this story.  It follows the "realism" set by 0080 and 0083.  I am 
using the Del Rey novels and several books on Gundam for references.  
     A brief note:  I had the idea for this from over a year ago.  If there are 
resemblances to 0083 and 0080, well, sorry.  I gave this some thought before 
I saw 0083, and I've never seen 00800--I've only read the synopsis and 
technical readouts.  As for my writing, ahhh, well, I'm not Tomino, but I'll 
give it my best shot.

To me it seems they return where they should (ie. after Kyosuke
leaves), and Kyosuke and Madoka simply re-enact the scene.. It
definitely seems different, Madoka definitely has a different
understanding of the "scene", which, if they returned to earlier she
wouldn't have...

Sort of... Heck, we're talking about all sorts of dangerous time-line
changes here. After all, if Kyosuke DID in fact return to earlier,
where would Madoka return to? They wouldn't be able to "overlay"
themselves on their own "previous" selves... And if there's two pair of
them running around, we have the danger of them meeting and touching
themselves again, which is something they definitely are trying to
avoid.

YES it is most annoying and detracts alot from my viewing pleasure 
to watch the show hear the Japanese and then have my mind screaming 
to me "BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY SAID!".  It also means I have great 
reservations about showing it to non-anime fans whom I'm trying to 
impress because the translation IS incorrect.  A professional 
company such as Animegio should be putting more pride into their 
work, than producing an incorrect translation. 
 
As far as why they use the sirname becomes obvious in episode 47/48 
which Animego has neglected to bring over.  Much to my continued 
disapointment.
 
I don't know if the series would be the same if it wasn't for 
Kyosuke's oft repeated 'Ayukawa...'.  :)

Well, I already have the Siegel synopsis.  No offense intended, but the reason
I wrote "good" synopsis above is that Mr. Siegel's synopsis has many holes
in it.  I'm sure he did his best, but still, I have some Q's:

> Brekinridge - An eccentric scientist/inventor whose apartment/lab

I think that's spelled "Breckinridge", which is an appropriate British
last name.

> Synopsis:  While doing her daily shopping, China sees Jim
>            talking to Lily, who runs a flower stand, and
>            gets jealous.

Question 1:  Whatever happened in the short prologue before the opening
		credits?

Question 2:  Why did China break down Breckinridge's door at the start
		of the anime?

Question 3:  Who were Mr. Black and Mr. White?  Possible sponsors?

> and when she opens her window and looks outside, she notices the moon has
> "Happy Birthday to China" written on it.

Question 4:  Can I assume correctly that there was litlle mention of this
		incident in the paper the next day, and that's why
		Breckinridge was so angry after reading it?

> The story ends with Jim working in the restaurant, China having to
> kick in Brekinridge's door (again), and then a view of the dust ring
> from China's room window that has a picture of China and Jim on the
> ledge.

Question 5:  Where did the rock Jim gave China come from?

Question 6:  The last scene in the end credits has Breckinridge
		"riding" a broom, then he says something and cracks
		his typical wide-grinned smile.  Translation?

> enough for government work.

This is quite telling of the quality of government work.  B-)

Agreed!  And thanks for the work so far!  :-)

Are you referring to the TV series or the OAV's. In the TV series,
they never really "offically" dated as boyfriend/girlfriend. I mean,
they didn't confess their love for each other until the last two
episodes!

As I haven't really seen the OAV's yet, I can't comment on that.
