Hi all.  My girlfriend is going to school in Deerfield, IL, and she has figured
out that something safe to give me is anime.  So I looked at the anime shopping
guide and found no mention of my favorite thing...CDs.  If you know of a place
in Chicago that does anime CDs, could you please email it to me?  Either reply
to this message or email jakilpat@tostada.engr.ucdavis.edu.

     I, too saw them on the rack the other day in Movie Time Videos (they have
 a very small rack for "Japanese Animation".  They, however had ALL of the

     The guy there is pulling a fast one.  The list price for the tapes is
 $19.95 for each six episode tape.  I was pleasantly surprised to see the tapes
 for MASTERS/SOUTHERN CROSS priced at $14.95, though...

The only problem I have with it is that it comes out *after* the video release
and a *LD release* is mentioned *after* a video release, *after* I have
ordered and bought *my* copy!  I only wish that they would mention that they
will be releasing an LD copy before I have ordered the video version and not
have to wonder if I should sell my tapes and upgrade or can I live without it.
Such an agravating question.  Hopefully they will annouce a LD release at the

get the LD instead of the video.  Oh well, all I need is some *patience*!

The Dendrobium?  Too big.  I have a nicely painted Gerbera Tetra, but I'm
not about to volunteer MY Gerbera Tetra to be blasted.  I would imagine 
a full 1/144 Dendrobium (Stamen and Orchis Base) would be at least 30 inches
wide, 24 inches high from the bottom fin to the highest point on the Orchis,
and 48 inches long from the tip of the cannon to the end of the booster
fuel tanks.

It would be one hell of a sight if anyone actually got the garage kit
Orchis attachment and mounted the GPO3 Stamen to the Orchis and set it in
the art show.  You'd have to be super rich and have lots of time on your
hands, but who knows... I could be wrong.. :)

	I don't know TOO much about this show.  It was about a group of kids
living in a space colony.  I guess all their parents were killed waring with
your typical evil aliens, so the kids were forced to fend for themselves,
with the help of their mecha of course.  The show seems to have neat character
designs, and was probably relatively popular at the time.  It prompted
a few books and comics and posters and all that.  I really like the 
character designs, but I've never been able to find any episodes of it 
unfortunately. :/  Anyways, that's all I know.  Hope it helps a little!

Perhaps I wouldn't, but even a person who is a fan may not collect Ranmas that
are translated into English.  I buy the orignal Japanese where you get a lot
more for your $5 than the thinner Americanized format.  Of course, it helps
that I am not totally dependent on English, but...

Yeah, I'm trying to put together a _Madox_ sequel where a certain someone
survives!  My only problem is finding time to get really into it.  I've also
ideas for stories crossing some anime with live action British TV shows
(no, the shows aren't SF- which kicks _Dr. Who_ and _Red Dwarf_), but the 
references would only be recognisable to anyone who's Australian or British.

	Lets not be including Bubblegum Crisis, in this crap about
people with the minds of teenage boys.  Granted I agree with you on
most points you made, (although I haven't seen many of the titles you
mentioned) you are stepping out of Line by placing BGC in a catagory
of anime for the boobishy inane, and sexualy deprived.  BGC makes
several important political statements, if your looking for a hidden
message, but more importantly, it is a form of entertainment, that
alows the mind to explore a different reality.  
	Anime, although it has the power to open minds, is basicly 
designed to entertain.  Whether or not you enjoy it is irrelevent.  I,
personally didn't think Akira was my cup of tea, but I won't knock it by
saying its for people who are mentaly unstable, and think they are part
of a government conspericy, although it would appeal to that audience. 
I won't deny the fact that teenage boys would like BGC, but I can't
stand by and let you degrade it, as if you were some anime god.  Trust
me, it was hard to look at your post objectively after your fist paragraph,
but after I stopped saying "S**t head" and "A**hole" I thought I'd shed a 
little light on the subject.  Cute girls, big eyes, and or the ever phallic
"Realy Big Guns" is not an accurate way to classify anything.

Actually, TFOS is based on the Ninja High School, the American manga-influenced
comic book by Ben Dunn. Scuttlebutt sez that originally there was going to be
an official NHS supplement for TFOS, but it never got off the ground. Rumors
abound that there will be an R.Talsorian - Ben Dunn joint project one of these
days, but rumors are treason. (Oops! Wrong humor RPG!)

A local Austin company, Crunchy Frog Enterprises (makers of Toy War, Critter

do new TFOS adventures/books for R.Tal. The first one, "TFOS Does Winterfest"
looks surreal, but you might not be able to find it anywhere 'cept central

Well, I got my UY TV 2 tape on the mail yesterday.  Some quick comments:
- NICE illo of Ataru in the cover, using a character design from later
  in the series.  BTW, is AnimEigo going to continue the Character
  Biographies in the back of their boxes?  With 47 boxes to go, you just
  MIGHT be able to cover the recurring characters in the cast.  :-)
- Very interesting liner notes, as usual.  Nice to see you explained the
  "terms of reference" bit for those folks new to the language.
- The translation itself is as expected, the kind of thing that really
  differentiates professional productions from fan dubs.  One thing I
  really have to ask about:  was that "make like a stocking and run"
  line at the end of Ep. 7 story 13 based on a pun in the original
  script?  If so, I must REALLY commend you for managing to adapt Ms.
  Takahashi's (in)famous puns into English (not to mention the "skin
  a cat/shed a skin" line earlier in the episode...).
