Me too.  I plan to order my Miyu LD from SIGHT & SOUND (excellent selection
and service as far as domestic LDs are concerned).

Yes, but if you can't convince stores to buy their product, they're doomed.
And how do you convince the stores?  By showing them that anime sells!!

At this stage in the subbed anime industry, the major roadblock is assuring
the stores that they won't be stuck with a surplus of tapes that no one
wants.  Just a guess, but maybe the reason Image put their anime LD releases
on hold is that they think anime won't sell.  If we get our anime
directly from the manufacturer, they'll have no store data to prove that
anime does sell.

I for one LIKED Robotech. At least as a stand alone series. It was far better
than anything else the US has seen in a while. And like flots of fans out there
Robotech is what got me into anime. (Robotech -> Macross the Movie -> MegaZone)
From there I was hooked. As a translation of the source material is sucked, 
mainly because it wasn't a translation. It was an adaptation. I have a multi-
gen copy of Super Dimensional Fortress: Macross video series Harmony Gold was
going to put out before they got the idea for Robotech (well, the first part
anyway) and it isn't bad. The same voice actors and all, but the names were
faithful and some of the dialogue made more sense. Robotech is second only to
Star Blazers in my mind for quality anime shown in the US. Simply because SB
was so faithful to the material. Shows like Voltron and Tranzor-Z don't even 
count on my scale. And Battle of the Planets is real cheesy to me now, even 
though it was great when I was young. (There's a reason Sandy Frank productions
end up on MST3K so often.)

As for a synopsis, If you really want a complete synopsis pick up Robotech Art
One for the original series and Art Three for the Sentinels and Movie. Art 2
is mostly fan art, only get it if you like the artwork.

I do have a Robotech timeline, which used to be on my FTP site, on magtape. If
you want it email me and I'll untar it as soon as I have the time.

     When was ROBOTECH out anyway??!?  early 70's or 80's?  Any what about
Macross (or was that Megazone?) ?  Sorry, but these names are not very

Then why can't there be a (cheap, by his reasoning) subbed release of D
on video? I'd much prefer a sub over the dub... (BTW. Let me guess,
Intersound voices?)

	True - for the most part, it isn't any cheaper to animate something in
Korea than in Japan, since there have been fairly recent duties and import fees
added to the animation flow between the two countries, I gather.

	It IS, however, cheaper to animate in Thailand, Vietnam, and other,
less developed Asian countries than it is to animate in Korea and Japan.  There
are already studios there, and will be more in the future until these areas
become "mined out" as well.

	Apparently there was even some idle talk of trying to open studios in
the newly independant soviet states, since the economy is weak enough to make
it affordable.  But idle talk is idle talk...

I don't know anything about Randall Stuckey, but I already have something to

there are some that I can never pronounse, not to mention spell.
Are there any perticular reason for some companies to have names

 Sorry to bug you, but one of the main reasons *why* I like some
 anime series is *for* the continuity! Most TV sitcoms and
 hour shows tend to be self-contained stories (what happens to
 the characters this week style) with a vague, if any, continuity.
 Anime such as Macross, Mospeada, Nadia, Conan, Orguss, etc. have 
 a serial format where the story usually (though not always) has
 a clear time progression from episode to episode.  Uresei Yastura and
 Ranma 1/2, I noticed, follow more the American sitcom style. 

 Except for Prime Time soaps, few American TV shows have had clear
 serial formats, although continuity of some sort (in Cheers, they didn't
 have Sam owning his bar again until after the corporation sells it
 back to him; in ST:TNG, the crew occasionally notes at the lack of
 ships due to many being destroyed in the Borg incident) exists.

Uhhhh....I'm not postive as to what your geographical location is,but the
only way I can think of to get such a subscription (if there are no Japanese
book stores around where you live) is to find out the exact rates for _over-
seas_ subs (if it's listed,at all,anywhere in HJ),and then get an International
Money Order from a bank so you can convert Dollars into Yen. If there are any
Japanese book stores,comic book stores or even hobby shops 'round where you
live,you might be able to bypass all this malarkey and get a special order deal
set up with 'em instead.
