Basically, yes. Since, most of the time (except when you skip a vowel) in
Japanese, it's a good bet you can split up each of the characters and 
pronounce them separately. So Kei becomes Ke-I, and you pronounce it like
that. It sounds like Kay, but the mouth-movements are somewhat different.

I may have put a smiley on my post, but I was nonetheless serious 
about my point.  As a kid I watched Getta Robo, Tekkaman, and 
Tetsujin 28. All three were great and I enjoyed them all, but I 
think the original Gundam has something about it which separates it
from them.
 
I remember last x-mas break when my younger sister came down from 
UCLA with her best friend, an exchange student from Sophia 
University.  My sis spilled the beans and her about my fascination 
with anime, which she thought was interesting ;-). Anyway, she 
either had trouble recognizing some of the anime my sis named, or 
knew nothing about them completely... BGC, MegaZone, Lodoss, etc. 
But when my sis mentioned Gundam, she straightened up and said "OF 
COURSE I know Gundam."
 
See, to many of the Japanese our age, Gundam is not just some 
anime. It kinda has a nostalgic feel to it.  And ask any major 
anime/manga figure from Mikimoto's generation which anime 
influenced them the most. More often than not you'll get (original 
TV) Gundam as the answer.  At least three million people went to 
watch each of the original Gundam movies (a record matched by very 
few anime movies like the Yamato and Miyazaki ones).
 
(No Gryph, the Dirty Pair movie didn't even come close. ^_^)
 
Remaking something as enjoyed and loved as the original Gundam -- 
that's a huge and very scary undertaking, which I think Sunrise and
Bandai don't plan to take a swing at any time soon.

Organization: The Ohio State University Department of Computer and Information Science

Since we're on this thread, I'd really like to know what Yui's
companion's name is.  I know this belongs to rec.arts.manga, but
I've posted there and no one has been able to tell me what that
guy's name is (in hiragana).

So here it is, a public plea for help...
I'm doing a translation of Vampire Yui manga (from chinese to english).
Although the chinese translated manga remained loyal to the original
Japanese names (keeping all the kanji intact), I've been having trouble
presenting the names in romaji/hiragana.  The kanjis representing Yui's
companion's name are especially difficult, as I've asked several native
Japanese speakers, exchange students, and even my Japanese teacher.
Funny that no one knows how to read them, and some even suspected that
the kanjis do not exist in Japanese (so they have been altered).

I do not have the original Japanese publication, but I know that
they are available at Nikaku's.

This is my first attempt at translating anything, that's why I feel
silly using a  substituted name for Yui's friend.
Chapters 1-2 are available free to those who don't mind loosely
translated material and are not picky with minor details.

Thanks in advance.

Well, it's mainly because the "I" sound in "nasai" is reversed on the
face of the earth (the humans probably got confused and looked at it
from below, and it looked right to them). :)

Maybe not, BUT in episode 2, she is definitely the pilot of one of the
russian mecha. And from the dialogue, it's pretty much implied that she
is russian.

I wish I had captured your "announcement", but I just checked and I

"Involved" means helping with the running (whether in an authoritative

Sheesh, you don't even have "humble" opinions. Maybe on this particular
subject I may get a bit hot under the collar (I've seen too many
friends torn asunder by this split, which I am sure is at least
partially due to your influence), but my GENERAL anime posts are quite
rational and well-considered.

(Heck, I'm even so "rational" as not to reply to your personal email to

Isn't this what the infamous Creation Conventions is frequently accused
of doing?  In that way, they're suppose to draw off the con-going
crowd (and thus, their wallets) from attending the other fan-run
convention.

I know I promised to keep out of this, but the similarity is just
striking...

Ok, not exactly a nude Misa, but you definitely see more than the
shoulders up.  I believe you see her from the waist up on the Chiram
screen.  So let's rephrase that to a "topless" Misa which flashes on
the bad guy's scanner for a second.
 
Fantasizing too much?  I doubt it...I never really liked Misa.

I think the different way each episode was handled was intentionally

could with Gunbuster.

Don't forget the 'big space battles with lots of mecha' and the 'last

aspects....

A friend of mine thought the last episode (done in letterboxed black &
white) was an homage to Bergman films.  Another friend just thought
they were running out of money and didn't bother coloring it or
animating the final battle....

I think they were poking fun at the big, overblown 'giant robots with
ultimate weapons' shows.  I thought the Buster Shield was a riot
myself, but my more serious mecha-fanatic friend didn't find it quite
so amusing, just dumb.

Your site must have only a 5 day expire (you only get to see the most
recent 5 days worth of news). I just checked two of our news spools,
and r.a.a has been averaging over 100 posts/day for the last 15 days,
and over 90 posts/day for the last 24. Hmm, the one with 15 days of

I am aware that some of the genres in anime can be (and have been)
made into games.  The point was that it would be difficult to
create a game, and say:  "That's it, this game is Anime.  It's
all covered in the rules".

Eh?  Sure seemed that way to me.  They weren't bashing it or glorifying
it, so I guess they weren't "taking an angle".  But they certainly seemed
to play up violence as the major selling point of anime.  It wasn't all
they mentioned, but they mentioned it too damn much for my taste.
