Just out of curiosity, are the Lodoss Warriors still around?  They sort of
seemed to disappear after they completed volume 5.  A shame, too, 'cause I
REALLY wanted to see volume 6 subtitled... :( :(

(Oops, forgot to address your second point in my reply.)

The staff may have more to do, but if there is no LD company willing to
invest in its release, it won't get made (someone on the inside may
know the mechanics a bit better), and so "dog" releases like Crash, New
Century, etc. may never have been made if Polydor hadn't signed on.

>You APROUVE of genocide???  Sounds like youd make a good Nazi.

Finally looks like I've got somebody's attention. But I think I've talked to
you before. If so then you already know that I'm a Jion supporter. Char was
justified in his attack on the Earth. I do not think that his primary motive
is to kill everyone on Earth (and it would not have. It'll take far more than
a chunk of rock less than a fraction of Earth's mass to blow away the Earth).
As you've read in Animag (or should have read) he just wanted the Feddies to
chill out (literally) for a while. hehehe. Remember what Camille said? To
save the human race, a few sacrifices must be made. Char honestly believed that
Earth was impeding the progress of mankind and de-evolving it out of existance.
and he sees his actions as the only way of allowing the humans to continue to
evolve, into what his father hoped a new race comprised completely of Newtypes.
He truly belive that his actions are for the good of the entire human race in
the long run and he is NOT completely unjustified in his belief.

>Okay, I'm game.  Why don't you like Amuro?

Perhaps the main reason why I find Amuro disgusting is his childish attitude
towards war. All-American goodie-twoshoes boyscouts really turn me off. He let
his hatred of Char cloud his judgement over the greater good of the Earth.
Despite what he says I think he sympathizes with Char's belief and he also 
share Char's disgust for the constant bureacracy of the Federal Force. But he
can not allow himself to admit this simply because his childish mind would 
take that as a form of defeat. This sudden hatred was rather irrational
considering back in the A.E.U.G the two were good friends and Amuro once
complimented Char on his beliefs so where all this friction came from was
difficult to understand. (but to be fair, this goes for Char as well). It
could just be me I guess, but I REALLY HATE goodie goodies since in real life
there's no evil good barrier, to claim constant goodiness while marking
someone else as being evil is being naive to the extreme.

Well time for the rebuttal. Your turn.

You'll see some terms here, otaku is the most common. It's Japanese for

common term I can think of is "hentai" meaning "sicko pervert who watches 
anime for the babes/hunks he/she can see". If you see something that

Organization: Physio-Control

I know next to nothing about the Mospeada plot, and I don't mean the scrambled Robotech version of it either. With that in mind, I ask the following questions.

1.  The back cover of a combination Mospeada modeling manual and character/mecha/spacecraft pamphlet I have, shows a stylized Mospeada jet diving at the Earth (I guess), with the words "The Second Attack from Jupiter" at the top: the text and illustration done like a military uniform's shoulder patch. Attack from Jupiter? What attack? Against or from the Invid?

2.  The series has the overall name "Genesis Climber Mospeada". What's Genesis Climber? In the Robotech version, there's a "Genesis Pit" with dinosaurs in it, but everything I've ever read in this newsgroup suggests THAT version's plot bears little if any resemblance to it's Japanese original. 

3.  Pardon my abyssmal ignorance, but the Mospeada three-way transformable jets (Alpha fighters) seem quite similar in style and function to their Macross Valkyrie counterparts. Is that because of the same writers or design staff for the two series?

Please post your responses to this newsgroup, NOT JUST TO ME. Thanks!

Well, that's it for _Angels in Paradise_.  I hope anyone who stayed with me
this long enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it.

For anyone who missed my earlier announcement, I do have a (standard)
PostScript version of the story for anyone who is interested.  E-Mail me
if you want a copy.

I am going to send a concatenated copy of my story to Megazone to be placed
on his FTP site later today.  So, in a couple of days (I hope :) it will
be available via FTP.  I made a few minor technical changes to the version
for the FTP site.  I also recombined a couple chapters that I had broken
up for posting.

Are there any other FTP administrator that would be willing to keep a copy of
my story?  Please let me know how you'd like me to get it to you if so.

I knew Robotech.  I liked Robotech.  Windaria is no Robotech.  Windaria was
the saddest hack and slash dubbing job I've seen.  (And I *do* watch
Streamline's kung-fu movies at 1:00 am on channel 26!)

The original Windaria is a beautiful tragic story.  Macek really mutilated
the plot, and *did* kiddify it to an enormous degree.  The *constant*
voice-over during any sentimental scene was really grating.  Please don't
support this dub.  (BTW:  I am talking about Streamline's Windaria.
I don't think they changed a thing from "Once Upon a Time," the other
dub of Windaria.)

I ate at an Anna Miller's in downtown Tokyo a couple months ago.  It is
somewhat similar to a Baker's Square (dunno if those exist outside of
Southern California).  They have pies, gourmet burger/sandwich and other
fairly straightforward items.  The waitresses are pretty cute (and maybe
padded a bit).  Price was low for the location, food was pretty good.
(About 4x the cost of a similar number of calories at McDonalds)

I'm sure you'll all want to know that the address is 3-6-2 Akasaka,
Minato-ku, Tokyo (on Sotobori Dori) or you could call them at (03)3586-7369.

Well, trying to sound arrogant, unless it is in the rec hierarchy I would 
continue to post fiction to r.a.a. The fact is a lot of sites don't get the
alt groups at all, and several slectively carry only a few. As I believe
Ryan mentioned, sites aren't under ANY obligation to carry alt groups at all.
I read sever alt groups at I see complaints all the time about 'Is there a
mail echo for this group? Can someone mail me the articles? etc'.

Personally, I really haven't seen any good reason to split r.a.a and if a vote
were held today I would vote no on a split.

In fact, I can fully understand why anime really does belong under the 
rec.arts.animation hierarchy logically. I don't want to see it there, but
anime is animation and r.a.animation.western and r.a.animation.anime make
sense. (ok, r.a.a.anime is redundant, but r.a.a.japanese/asian doesn't sound
right to me...)

It wasn't said by the main argumentors (like yourself or CPK or Arromdee or
Yip), but other people expressed this sentiment.

I believe that the actual reasoning used for r.a.manga was that manga are
not comics.  The same reasoning was used by the rec.arts.startrek group to
avoid being merged into the rec.arts.sf-lovers reorganization (i.e., that
Star Trek is not "just SF").

Feel free to correct me if I erred.
