I managed to find another copy of the HK version of this 
rare, colourful and popular book.  I found it downtown in 
Chinatown at a place called I-man books.
 
It goes for $60 and you'll have to pay for the shipping.
This is a hard cover bound version of the coloured 64 page
book that came inside the Soundcolor Box set.  Although 
it is an HK bootleg, it is still cheaper than colour laser
copying all the pages so it is good deal.   A definite must
for Orange Road fans since it contains almost all the
KOR posters and pics.
 
Interested people should e-mail or call evenings at home.
FIrst come, first serve; else you snooze you lose.

I've just learned of a new company subtitling anime here in the States.
A.D. Vision has announced for release in late November, "Mamono Hunter Yohko"
for $29.95.  They have some other titles lined up but this was the only
one I could officially post about.  They say an LD release is being considered
for sometime next year if things go well.  I don't have the "offical" address
with me but they have an ad coming out in various mags and comics shortly.
More news as they pass it on to me.

That was me, and it was 
On that note of a Gundam Torg cosm, I am trying to figure out how to 
create a game mechanic for Newtypes.  My big problem is defining exactly
*what* a Newtype is!  Are they flat-out espers that work like comic book
psionicists (Professor X, Marvel Girl, Psylocke, etc.), people who 
have a kind of heightened awareness, empaths that kick butt in mechs, 
what?  This message is particularly aimed at Gundam otakus like the 
Operation X crew, who would probably be the best ones able to answer
this.  My experience with Gundam is the three compilation movies, 
Char's CA, 0083, 0080, and little snippets of Zeta Gundam.  If someone 
could give examples of what Newtypes have been known to do, aside from
piloting Mecha well, controlling funnels/bits, and establishing mental
links, please let me know!  I need help on this, and would really 
appreciate anything one could do.  BTW, I keep hearing the term "Gundam
Sentinels" being thrown around; is this a line of models/toys that
never made it to the screen?  Any info here would help too.

Both "Natsu no Mirage" and "Orange Mystery" are on the KOR CDs "Loving
Heart" and "Singing Heart".  I highly recommend both, altho they
overlap with the first and second TV opening and ending themes.

Both songs are also on the "Orange Station at ABCB" CD, which has the
characters talking as DJs, and the KOR CDV 1, which has the videos
that went with the themes, if you have a laserdisc player.

The people in the biz over here were genuinely suprised that KOR was
so popular with US male fans.  We were surprised that they were
surprised, but over and over, they said they considered KOR a girl's

I guess they didn't read the demographics either!

Reply to Panda:

What? Sorry, but I was just riffing off of the need people have to show other
people anime, in general. It's almost as much fun as watching for the first
time. Almost like we were being compelled and rewarded for spreading exposure
around our area. Kinda like a cell that's been taken over by a successful virus
ne? It
 got me to thinking about Brin's GOH speech at Philcon 92, on the idea of
ideas as infection. I remember thinking then that, gee I guess anime would
count,as it's a cross-civilization infection. Just wondering if it's solely a
US infection, or partially a symptom of previous infections in Japan. What's a
Hanti? Hentai? Not really, although I won't run screaming from the room if any-
thing Hentai comes on(unless we're talking really raw Cream Lemon). I
understand what an enormous influence tradition is in any setting. I just
noted that Japan is traditionally a area where ideas meet and are sythesised
into the Nihonji zietgeist. After all, much of "traditional" japanese culture
is the result of endless waves of new ideas and concepts transmitted from the
Chinese mainland, synthesized with the previous mix of older Chinese lendings
and indigenous culture. Meiji era westernizing was just a new phase, let loose
after the artifical restraints of Tokugawa era isolationism. Perhaps that long
period of isolation and stasis allowed traditional Japanese culture to flourish
without extensive irruptions by the expanding western cultures, but it also
seemed to distort japanese reactions to externalities, resulting in wild
gyrations between anti-gaijin hysteria and slavish adoption of western fads.
(remember the victorian airs and mimicry of 1870's-80's Meiji Japan?) Since the
 war, things have calmed down considerablly. I'm not talking political here,
rather philosophical. After all, politics never change, they're merely shaped
by philosophical changes in the cultural matrix. Call it Ur-politics.

As for What anime I'm a fan of, oh, I don't know, Maison Ikkoku, Miyazaki, The
DP movie, some of Oshii's stuff(angel's egg, patlabor movie), Windaria, the
first 18 eps of Ranma 1/2, Etranger, A Wind Called Amnesia, Riding Bean, some
Rumic World, Lum the Forever, Kamui no Ken, the first Megazone 23, Shirow's
stuff, Akira, etc, etc, etc.

I'm still not Tonghyun...

I suppose I should put a spoiler alert in here too.






I dunno, I didn't consider the attack on the colony to be the actions of
the Zions at all.  It was really just Killing and some fanatic
subordinates of his on some kind of psycho rampage.  :)  But seriously,
Killing went as far as killing his superiors to carry out his personal
mission.

On the other hand, the Federation base on the colony (which was supposed
to be neutral, BTW), I thought, _was_ sanctioned by the Feds as a whole.
 When Al sees the little kid's body being pulled out of the rubble after
Cyclops unit's failed attack on the Fed base, I got a "look what the
Federation did" feeling from the scene, even though the Zions were the
"aggressors."

The main reason I think 0080 is pro-Zion is that the Zions are shown as
individual people, one of which is behind all the horror going on.  On
the other hand, the Feds seem to be this faceless organization that has
come and made life miserable for the people on Al's colony.  Christina's
the only Fed with a name in 0080, isn't she?

It might be neat to see a grown up Al as the leader of a _peaceful_
spacenoid liberation organization.

        Since they clipped the aspect ratio and made it into a FULL SCREEN

Well, I got my rentals for the weekend from Japan Video .
I picked up the following:

o Project Ako (my first shot at this):
o Gunbuster Vol. III ( Yes they did have a subbed one! :-))
  I think I know what to look for , thanks to the current discussion
o KOR vol II : I love the picture of Madoka on the back cover.
  Has anyone scanned that one it yet ?? I did watch the first story
( the one about skiing holiday (Great Story). Two questions come to mind:

      o I 've noticed that the pronounciation of the name Madoka
        by the actors doesn't seem what it should be. Any ideas ??
      o What's the deal with the cat ?? ( or should I read the manga ??)
        I've never seen a cat with a penchant for watching two girls
        in a hot spring. ( I got a big kick out of the comment Huriko
        made about Madoka's "form" being so much "bigger" than your
        average junior high school girl ..
       
o Silent Mobius: I could only find a non-subbed version. Hence
   I need the script, if one exits. I ahaven't heard any mention
   of one exsiting on any if the FTP sites. Could someone please
  e-mail me the location of the script ( if thereis one) by 5 pm
PST Friday 10/02/92 ??? Domo arigato !!!. I did watch a little
bit of it already. Wow !!!!!

I had a chat with the manager and found out something interesting. 
He does more business in his hentai tapes ( he has alot of the uncensored type,
which were ilegally made in Japan it seems, though completely legal to sell 
here) than his anime stock which suprised me. It does make sense though.
We are an extrememely dedicated, yet small, force.
