>(BTW, Ryan, I found your comments about the

I never claimed to be passing judgement on Roger Rabbit, Bill.  I rather
like it.  But like you said, it doesn't break the mold of American
animation and I was refuting the claim that it did.

There's immaturity and there's immaturity.  Escapist fiction is immature
by definition: a truly "mature" being shouldn't feel the need to get away
from his life.  My reference was to the "immaturity" of the goofy, silly
plot and characters, immature in that it appeals to children and the
childlike aspects of our nature.  Compare the most serious scenes in DP
and BGC with the most serious scene in WFRR?, and which do you think would
come out on top?

I've always had a problem arguing why I think anime is currently "better"
than nearly all American animation.  The problem is words.  I sometimes
complain about the art in American animation, how the faces are extremely
stylized for effect.  Without fail, someone will shoot back, "Well, aren't
anime characters stylized as well?  Big eyes blah blah blah?"  How do I
explain the difference between the stylization in anime and that in THE
SIMPSONS, BEBE'S KIDS, HAMMERMAN, BEETLEJUICE, and so on, where the
characters don't even look vaguely human?

How do I describe the types of plots I want?  All the good words have been
stolen!  "Mature" means sex.  "Adult" means sex.  "Not for children" means
sex and/or violence.  How do I explain a plot whose themes might go over
the head of a child, without having to appeal to sex or violence?

They did build three Mk II's, so it's not inconcievable that they were
considering building more.  Also, the Mk II was a very rugged suit.  It
lasted longer than any other Gundam on video (I don't know about outside
of video).  When combined with the G-Defensor, it pretty much equaled
the Zeta for power output.

If I recall correctly, it was also AE who maintained the Mk II after
AEUG stole it.

(info on Guyver live action movie)

Save your money.  The movie has a real cheesy look and feel to it.
The acting is plain awful, the dialogue is corny to the point of silliness,
and at one point in the movie, you can plainly see the actor's skin
underneath the Guyver mask.  To put it simply - it's just plain awful.

Going to repeat the advice I gave to the first colorized Ranma issue from
Viz - the stuff's out there for laughs, not for keeps.  Wouldn't recommend
buying it, but if you want a cheap laugh, watch it from some poor sucker
who shelled out serious money for this junk.

_Rock & Rule_.  If you want to be current, then _Bebe's Kids_' character
animation is, at worst, still better than the character animation in the
majority of Japanese animated films.  _Roger Rabbit_.  _Heavy Metal_ has
a lot of flaws, but its character animation is still better than most
anime.  _Watership Down_ (though I can't remember if that's a Brit
production or not...)

Why don't people just get with the program?  There's good and bad animation
for a variety of reasons on both sides of the Pacific.

the bgm was also used in a dubbed anime show a couple of years ago.  my guess is
that the composers had a contract which allowed them to keep the music that they
wrote...hence, they are making a living selling "copies" of their music so to 
speak.  either that or the original japanese company is selling the scores.

Actually it looks a little like those other blue things that were flying

Wow, I think you're selling them TOO cheap but that's your perogative.  Even
Nikaku sells their normal posters for $8.50.  :)  The fans win in any case.

Well, may or may not.  Those are just the ones they put in requests for.  For
the most part they get what they can get.  Funny how selling cels is not
even their main business but a little side business, just as anime products
is not Nikaku's main business.  Perhaps we have a trend here.  :)

One problem; if you thought that other anime works cut short long manga works,
(Nausicaa, AKIRA, Appleseed, etc), can you imagine the difference between a 
single animated piece an the eventual 300-issue Cerebus plotline? 

We also have to convince Dave Sim, and explain to the animators exactly what
the main character -is-..... ("'Aardvark"? Nani?")

Believe it.  It's Godzilla vs. Barkley.  And I don't care how buff he is,
by it's time for Brother Charles to take Gozilla to school...There's gonna
be a clinic in session, Professor Barkley teaching.

Here's how it's gonna go...Gozilla will try to breath fire or death rays
or something, Charles will stick and elbow in Godzilla's face, and Godzilla
will go down... nuff said...
