	The main plot revolves around three sisters (Ryu, Hitomi, and Ai), art
thieves by night, and owners/operators of the CatsEye cofee shop by day. 
Apparently, their artist father disappeared along with many of his works
several years before the beginning of the series, and, all of a sudden, pieces
of his work start popping up in museums and art galleries.  They start stealing
these paintings, hoping that they have some clue as to the location of their
father.
	The sub-plot is the relationship between Toshio, the detective assigned
to the CatsEye cases and Hitomi.  Of course, he never manages to put 2 and 2
together (keeps getting 22 :-).  Lessee...  Three art thieves who call
themselves "CatsEye."  Three sisters who run a coffee shop named "CatsEye."
	Hmmm...

	BTW, the CatsEye diner makes several appearances in the City Hunter
series.

	The series isn't _too_ bad if you can stand a huge amount of sap.
The manga series is much better, IMHO, though the art doesn't get very good
until volume eight or so.  It's kind of interesting to watch Hojo Tsukasa's
art evolve.

Blockbuster will NEVER cease to amaze me........

I went into the Union, NJ store to look at their import laser discs. On
our way out, my wife pointed out several US Renditions and AnimEigo
tapes. Since Union isn't close to where I live, and the one that is was
next door to where we were headed (Rascals, West Orange) I decided to
take a stroll into the Blockbuster there before the show at Rascals. I
asked if their store got any Japanese Animation in. Now _I_ ask for
Japinese Animation rather than 'anime' because not too many people short
of the Yaohan mall know what I'm talking about. In any case, the
Assistant Manager says to this one kid at the other register, "What kind
of JapAnimation did we get in?" I cringed and said "Please don't call it
that, not too many people like it." In any case, he said that they got
Gunbuster and Black Magic M-66 in which were both out (no big surprise).
I then asked where they were kept so I can find them later. The AM
showed be a shelf with a big sign that read "JapAnimation". I said
"Look, you can't call it this. It's really not the correct term." I
covered the 'Animation' to show the word 'Jap'. The AM said "Yeah, but
that means Jewish American Princess, too." I said that 'anime' is the
correct term and some Japanese people may get offended. His reply was
"Well, we don't get too many Japanese people in here so I don't think
we'll have a problem." 
	This is the mentality of an assistant manager at Blockbuster. My
advice is to get these people at the stores to change it to 'Japanese
Animation' since 'Anime' is not the word that Joe Video Renter would
know. What I described above HAPPENED. My wife was there with my and she
couldn't believe it either. These people carry the tapes, but have no
respect for the people that made them. Wonders never cease.
	I've been trying to get my local store to carry anime. Granted,
I haven't been trying hard, but a close friend of my wife's just started
working there, so maybe I'll be able to get the store to try. I've never
liked Blockbuster and I would HATE to have to get an account there to
rent anime. There's a store that rents in Montclair, but it takes 45
minutes to get there. Not the time I want to spent to rent a tape or
two. 

	Just my 2 cents.

I agree with you.  For something more avant grade (ahem!) experience, just
turn off the sound, and listen to Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata as BGM.  
Some section of it goes perfectly with "Presence" segment.

I also seem to remember hearing that the colors are (extreme) exagerations
of slight differences in hair color.  Thus, lighter brown hair might
end up blonde, hair with a reddish tint ends up like Ranma-chan's, etc.
(And NO, I have no idea where green or purple hair comes from)

Agreed.

Considering that a large number of Japanese still think that the "pure"
Japanese race is superior to all other races (even or especially other
oriental races) I REALLY doubt that they are expressing a desire to
be caucasian.

After watching Macross II, I got to thinking how much I like
the opening animation (a pity that the rest of the animation
and plot don't match in my opinion... but that is another post)
Anyways started thinking about opening animations for others...

So my favorite 3 are:

3. Gundam 0083 (both openings)
   Beatiful animation at points but sometimes a bit limited (i.e. not much
   movement...)  Anyways I like the first one (eps. 1-7) better because of
   the song... but the second (eps. 8 - ) has Cima!!!

2. Macross II 
   Great pacing with the music!!! not animated as well as 0083 or Nadia...

1. Fushigi no Umi no Nadia (The Secret of Blue Water)
   (the evil series of course covers it up with large fonts)
   I love the animation & the song for this... The characterization is
   great you can tell their personalities just from the way they run!!!


anyways I'm just curious if I'm forgeting anything really great,

Are you sure you're not watching Crash?? Crisis had a lot more
interwoven (not cluttered for the person who watches it in order) plots
and continued stories than most things.

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..

I think this may depend on your personal defintions of "huge" and "massive".
You sound like you have the typical American Male Tit Fetish.  Let me put
this into perspective by comparing with a real world, concrete example:

_I_, personally, am considered "top-heavy".  Yes, I _do_ have problems
buying clothes that will fasten over my tits.  _I_ measure up poorly
compared to most of these women drawn in your typical anime piece.
This would make, in my personal view, these women "huge-breasted".
"Massive" usually implies 'larger-than-one's-head'.

What anime would I be thinking of to get this impression?
Lesse:
BubbleGum Crisis
Dirty Pair
Ranma 1/2
Urusei Yatsura
Project A-ko

This is off the top of my head.  Guess what?  That's also the animation
that people are most likely to have seen.  Oh, they *might* have seen
AKIRA, which is the exception to the usual type of anime shown to new
fans.  Unless we show *other* anime to new fans, that's the impression
that people are going to retain.

I'd love nothing more than to see GUNDAM available commercially in the US.  
Unfortunately, I've shown subtitled versions of 0080 and 0083 to my non-otaku
friends before, and while they liked the animation they were totally lost on
most of the story, especially in 0083 with all the references to events during
the One Year War.  If they just released subbed/dubbed versions of 0080 or
0083 on the market with no background I'd be afraid that people who knew 
nothing about Gundam would quickly get lost...

What I'd love to see is a remade version of the three Gundam movies; same 
story, new animation.  I know the chances of ever seeing this are NIL, but I 
can always dream, can't I? :)

What you said.  I LIKE BGC.  But when the original "He May Not" ("he may not
what?") article made some (IMO) not all that off-base criticisms about BGC,
(mostly regarding lack of substance) you immediately jumped in its defense.
In effect, you were left in the awkward(sp?) position of defending the
indefensible.

So the show is exploitative (gotta have that CANNED shot of a naked Priss
getting into her outfit).  So half of the episodes have bad plots (by your
own admission, even if I LIKE #3 and #8).  So what?  It's still a fun show
to watch.

Oh, but "Marine Boy" *was* an anime series...one of a bunch that were

Others from this time frame were (US titles only):
