Subject: BUBBLEGUM TREK - PART 1 AND 2 REPOST
Keywords: I got no feedback last time...
Date: 13 Sep 92 21:29:00 GMT
Followup-To: poster
Organization: Purdue University

In the next two postings (assuming that no one else posts) is my Bubblegum
Trek story thus far.  I posted part 1 and the recently-created part 2 to
rec.arts.anime and I got feedback from only one person.  I figured that a
lot of people haven't got a chance to see it yet (college doesn't start at
the exact same time for everyone), so I'm posting both parts again, but this
time on more newsgroups (I heard there is a BGC comic book, so I figured
the two manga newsgroups would be appropriate for this, and since this is a
cross between BGC and ST:TNG, alt.startrek.creative would be appropriate as
well).

In an effort to have most everyone enjoy my story, I would appreciate to get
some kind of feedback from the net.  Granted, there is no guarantee that I
will adopt your ideas and suggestions (BTW, in case you haven't heard yet
there will be a Part 3), but I have adopted suggestions from various netters.
I would certainly be willing to listen to any constructive comments,
suggestions, ideas, complements, etc. that you might have.

I will start working on Part 3 very soon and hope to have it out by the
end of this month (no guarantees, of course).  Again, to reiterate, I am
only doing this for fun.  There are probably way too many legal roadblocks
for this to become an actual piece of animation (Animego, Paramount, etc.)

Enjoy!

Hi! I want to thank everyone who bought the first issue of our
Gundam fanzine, UC Herald.  We've sold out the original run of
100 copies which is great!  The good news is, Nikaku Animart
liked our fanzine so much that they're gonna carry it.  It should
pop up in their next catalog. (I'd like to think of Nikaku's
action as a compliment to our zine's quality... :) So if you'd
like a copy, give Nikaku a call. (Sorry, but both Tonghyun and I
are out of copies; Nikaku's got about 30.)
 
Right now, we're hard at work on issue #2 of UC Herald, which
should be out by November.  There's gonna be more pages (probably
double, yikes) but we'll try to hold down the cost.  Here's some
stuff that'll be on issue 2 (which is still focused on 0083):
 
 - "Totally Tomino" section: 8 pages on Tomino, including a
   biography, a COMPLETE filmography, and an interview.
 
 - Mecha Guide part 2, 5 pages.  Data on Unit 3, Neue Ziel,
   Gerbera Tetra. This will include comparisons of 0083 Gundams
   and the Neue Ziel with MS/MAs before and after the 0083 time
   period.  We'll also throw in a Ship Guide.
 
 - Character Guide part 2, 4 pages.  This will include an update
   on The Record of War Dead.  Lotsa additions to this one :)
 
 - 10 pages of the Gundam Timeline part 2 (from 0083.11.11.0925
   up to F-91) plus Definition of Terms part 2.
 
 - 6 pages on Tomino's novel Lighting Hassaway.  This will
   feature a synopsis, plus character and mecha guides.
 
 - Character Voice Guide part 2 plus Staff Guide part 2 (about 5
   pages total).
 
 - An original Gundam manga short, some parody manga, more
   tactical maps, an episode guide, a synopsis of the Gundam 0083
   Drama CD, model kit reviews, and more cool stuff. :)

Uhh, Ryan, I would have to agree with him that a large part of BGC's character
development is *very* exploitive and cheap. It's part of what I don't like
about the series. Fer instance, the repeated use of cheap schticks like
introducing a throwaway character (Irene in #2,that mother in #3), having a
villian directly or indiectly splatter them, then have the team go off on
another melodramatic vengance hunt. Variations on this include the whole of
Revenge Road, #7, and #6(I understand, although I never saw #6). The instance
that well and truly pissed me off about the series was that incredibly
manipulative scene at the end of #5, with the sappy "I don't wanna kill her -
Priss kill me please" dialog, and the endless abuse of splitscreen shots for
mindless choruses of "PRISSSSA".
 Growlfth. BGC got off to a good start in the first OAV, then immediately went
downhill. There is a lot to take offense with, as long as you keep it within
the family, so to speak. Don't scare off newbies.

According to Animage, the average pay of Animation Director or
Character Designer class animators is from $4000 to $15000 per
month, depending on their experiences and popularity. The pay
might be somewhat higher for big name stars like Mikimoto and Takada
but it's very unlikely that they'll get payed beyond $20000,
considering the budgets for most anime are less than $80000 for TV and
$200000 for OAVs.

Although I don't know how much money did Otomo got for directing
AKIRA, $2 million is way too ridiculous. $2 million is more than the
budget for most 2-hour movies theses days (BTW, Miyazaki movies are
exceptions, costing around $5 million). Although AKIRA is the most
expensive anime ever, it costed *only* 8 million dollars. The
budget for other movies are much lower.

I don't think even Miyazaki can get $1 million for directing a movie,
although all of his movies have been blockbusters.

  The legend of the Amazons (and the detail of their amputating the left
mammary gland) comes from the ancient Greeks.  Now, there are several styles
of archery, but that used by the Greeks in their day was to hold the bow
straight out from the body with the left hand and draw the string back to the
center of the chest.  (Note that this exposes the minimum target area to
hostile strangers, like the pistol dueling stance of a later day, save that
the projectile goes off to one's left rather than one's right.)  When trying
to fire an arrow this way, even quite moderate breasts can be very much in the
way...
  If anyone has further questions on the mechanics of this, there are people
over on rec.org.sca who would be delighted to tell you more than you'd ever
want to know.  Let's get back to anime.

	Yawara lives by herself with grandfather not becuase her
   parents are dead but because her father left home ten years ago and
   her mother is constantly searching for him!   Exactly why he left
   doesn't come out until later in the series (I don't want to spoil 
   it for you!  It's great!) but for now everyone feels that he's
   off doing that wandering-around-training-my-martial-art thing that
   anime characters seem to love so much.   That leaves poor Yawara in the
   company of Jigoro most of the time except when her mother loses the trail
   of her husband and comes back home.  Unfortunately she only stays until
   she picks up another lead then she's off again trying to track him
   down.   Truly a patient lady.    
	What I really enjoyed was watching Yawara's mother help Yawara by
   keeping Jigoro busy.   Yawara needs all the help she can get with her
   Ojii-chan.
