     One small problem with a new type in a Gundam vs the Enterprise.  All
they would really have to do is just say !#@$ this, and fire a spread of 10
photons set to high output.  Lets see a new type dodge the area of effect of
10 anti-mater warheads with 2.01 litters per warhead.  :)  

     But all in all, I think as that the combined Gundam forces could be a
match for Star Fleet.  But is 1.9 MW the top of the line beam weapon?  

... Get a life, before you losse it.

Dude, that blows that you couldn't show AKIRA.

Your best bet is to possibly get a video copy of it and sghow it that way.

When we did that here at Ball State (pre-BSJAS) in October or so, the Japan
Clubn sponsored it, it cost $1, soon-to-be-BSJAS-President MIke Dwyer showed
clips from DAICON IV, CoC, RANMA 1/2, TOTORO, WINGS OF HONNAMISE (?) for an
hour before AKIRA.....and the place was PACKED!  I barely found my friends in
there....

DOn't get disheartened...if neccesary, fundraise to pay the distributor's
price.....

DON'T GIVE UP!

Heh. It's not just "Klingon," it's a readout from the old sector-grid,
text-character Star Trek game that was available in several gazillion
versions for just about every microcomputer a while back...I thought it
was hilarious to see it on the SDF-1...bit outdated though, I guess
the RDF soliders hadn't discovered MUDs yet. :)

I believe it is from a nursery rhyme.

Has the AMG! OAV come out yet?  OAV #1 was slated to be released
last month, right?  If it's out, has anyone seen it yet?  Just
curious to see which stories it covered.  From my little flyer
here I see there's four in production, but there's a picture
of all three goddesses, so they must be jumping pretty far
ahead (as compared to the manga).

Well, the first one was Macross 2036.
The second reprises the original series, titled simply, Macross.
The third is a strategy game, Macross Love Song.

	r.a.a.  T-shirt. (Look I'm posting...  Geez and I thought I'd never have
anything to say on this channel) sounds like the most creative thing that has
come out of this news net in awhile *hides behind rock to avoid being flamed to
death*.   Well I don't mean to be insulting... Actually I hope I'm not...  Oh
well you know what I mean.  I didn't mean it to be insulting.  Anyways the idea
of drawing on a character from popular consensus every year sounds like a really
good idea.  But I'll go with Eve (although I really don't know who she is...
forgive me... haven`t seen that one yet) for now (after all it was that other
guy's idea, and he should at least get first choice :)  
	If this t-shirt ever gets off the ground and starts flying I'd be 
interested in buying one of the t-shirts,  but another question that comes to 
mind.  Copyright infringement?  Don't you have to get permission to use the
character?  Oh well that's all I wanted to know.

	But I'm full support of this T-shirt idea and electing a new "mascot"
each year.   BTW WHICH FTP site would be chosen to get the gif ideas that all
the artists send in?

Hello Stanley,

  Yup, Macross II is a 6-part OAV.  It's currently being released by USR on
VHS tape, 2 episodes/tape (so total of 3 tapes).

I would almost agree, BUT since Animag is down to nearly two issues a
year (and we thought things would improve with new publishers) the
amount of info drops comparatively to other magazines. Anime UK's
"info" column certainly is coming up with the goods by issue 5. :)

I'll change my opinion if Animag manages to come up with two issues
before July. :) I somehow got the feeling that they won't even get one
issue out (just my gut feeling).
