	That's exactly what I don't like in 0083.  There are too many *stupid*
concepts.  Take the GP02 shield for example.  You would expect something as
important as a cooling system to be located in a carefully protected location,
right?  No, it is placed inside the shield (An external cooling system!?  On
a seperate piece of equipment!?)  Okay, so you expect the shield to be quite
tough, after all it can withstand a nuclear blast, right?  No, in episode 2
Kou penetrated it with a single beam saber thrust, forcing Gato to retreat as
unit 2 overheats.  (Real smart engineers ... Anahiem)  What a concept!  I
wonder what will happen if Kou just grabbed Gato's shield and run away at full
speed.  Will unit 2 simply shutdown/blown up as it overheats?
	Another scene: Kou landing his core fighter on the Albion ... in
REVERSE!  It serves no puproses other than to provide an opportunity for
Monsha to harass Kou.  A simple crane inside the hanger bay can do the job
much quicker.  Why all the troubles?
	0083 has the best Gundam animation I've ever seen.  But I do wish
the people in the story board will pay a bit more attentions to such details.
They can distract the audience at times, and make the show less enjoying than
it should have been.

Well, it's not pretty or suitable for posting yet.  I'll clean it
up and when it's ready, I'll post it.  I'll probably time subsequent
postings with whenever the FAQ gets posted.

I'll even add an entry for Sailor Moon while I'm at it... :-)

Some already are, i believe on the piggy ftp site (do't know the full address)
only a few of his bits , not representative of his newest stuff, but he has
to send them off to someone to be scanned in order to get his stuff posted.

I say he oughta take 20 or so of his best stuff, make a little home-made,

I don't know about GENOM, but "Priss & The Replicants" is definitely
taken from _Blade Runner_.  
 
There's a "replicant" named Priss in the movie...she was played by
Daryl Hannah if memory serves me.

Me too.  But I don't think the Touch TV series is available on tape.
I know the first series (up to episode 27) is available in a video
tape collection.  I don't know about the others..

I'd vote for Pat Binatar's (sp?) "Invincible" as the best choice for a song to
put all of Robotech to.  If you've heard it, you know what I mean.  It is
perfect, especially for Macross and Mospeada, a little less so for Southern
Cross but still good.

Hi, Jay!  Tell Luan to give me or Claude (Protoculture Addicts) a call,
if you see him.  I've lost his number.

The Revell models are out of production, but I've seen them at just about
every Kay-Bee store I've visited in the US for the last few years.

You find a CD you want, look up the catalog number in the handy-dandy
CD list (To be posted later this week), and go to your LOCAL Tower records.
With the catalog number, they should be able to special order it.

Here is the type of process they go under in trying to get titles (as related
by Neil NAdelman, AE92, Translating Anime)

They get things that
1. What consumers want
2. What THEY want to get.   And barring that
3. What they can get CHEAP.

And basically explained that they get things that can also use as "filler"
between their better titles.

Neil even said the way their subtitling vendor did Crystal Triangle, it was
horrid, he kept making like he didn't want anybody to buy it, a special
"how not to subtitlt" video.  Easily bled fonts, mistake on subtitling the
"Engrish" dialogue on the top, not over the Japanese subtitles, etc.

Luckily, Studio Nemo is working on some of their newer titles now, and USMC
is finally getting into the meat of their good title line-up with Gall Force,
Supergal, UY2*, before the next "filler", Roots Search in December.  But the
93 schedule should be pretty good title-wise, especially if the upgrade 
permanently to 2per month.  Area 88, Harmageddon, GoTF, Rumik World (Rumik is 
how it will be spelled), Venus Wars.

Actually I got that at AX '92 from Books Nippan of all places; I never thought
I'd buy something from them, but this was an exception (Awesome CD BTW).

  I didn't buy the last one so don't blame me if they've sold out; Just drual-

No, that's probably what he said.  Almost every anime I can think of had the
animation done before the audio tracks are recorded.

At any rate, he wasn't quite right.  OMOHIDE POROPORO is another film where
the audio was recorded before the actual animation.  I doubt there are many
such films in anime.

Actually, it's been my experience that the flight prices tend to be
the same for long distance flights, especially when they are booked up
far enough in advance.  The key to the Oakland hub is that Southwest
Airlines keeps the fares for the SoCal-NorCal corridor artificially
low, forcing other carriers to match these prices.  American Airlines
owns the San Jose hub and can set prices accordingly without too much
of a threat from other competitors...
