As for where she gets her strength, her parents are Superman and Wonder
Woman (pay *close* attention to the end of Project A-Ko and you might
spot the clues).  As for the latter...c'mon, it's just a cartoon!  8->

My guess is yes she did come with it and it was a ship that crash-landed
(ala Macross), based on various comments made by the aliens.

I presume D was a woman (for our purposes, at any rate), based on the
fact that all the other aliens were women.  It's a joke - laugh already!
(D-cup...I like that 8-)

*shrug*  Obviously, rebuilding a city in 16 years is a *major* feat,
considering the efficiency of most construction crews...maybe he's
trying to imply they had help?

The lesbian overtones to Project A-Ko were, I thought, quite obvious.
Not surprising, considering A-Ko was originally planned to be a Cream
Lemon episode...

	Wicked City?!  :(  Blech!  I "beh" at Carl's general direction!.
I wonder what the budget of Yoju Toshi really is.  It's pretty "darn" good
for a "limited budget."  Admittedly, I noticed quite a few scene that were the
same, but the animation was top notch.
	Speaking about limited budgets, did FSS the Movie only cost $50,000
to make?  If so, I wonder just how low the budgets were for BGC 8 and Crash!.
If they can pull off something like FSS for $50,000 then how in the "heck"
did they do such a terrible job for Crash!.  I did like how they compensated
for a lower budget in BGC 8 (trash the background to save money for the
foregrounds).

With a couple of USMC's more recent releases (excluding Gall Force)
little care seemed to be taken with the subtitles.  I would not expect
every last bit to be translated and in sync with a fan sub, but USMC
does not release fan subs.  Their tapes cost from $35 to $40, and for
that I expect a certain level of professionalism.  It seems as though
they do take care to subtitle their "good" releases, but some of the
others, such as Wanna Be's, seem rushed out the door to make a quick
buck.  None of the songs in Wanna Be's were translated.  I couldn't
even find a good quality copy of Wanna Be's in my area (they were all
defective).

This is an OAV series called "Every Day is Sunday".  The woman is
a police woman (hence, the uniform), and the "chubby guy" is a
guy that the woman once knew in school...he is now a street
magician.

My total experience with this series came from Anime Expo, though
I understand there are more parts out now...

There's one thing though - Carl is not doing any of his dubs for the
anime fans who have seen the original stuff so he doesn't give a rat's
ass about matching the original voice as closely as possible (IMO).
He might try to match someone with a high voice for the role but I
doubt he's going to go out of his way to do so.

Which of course worries the anime otaku in me, since the first Dirty
Pair dub from Streamline is supposed to be coming out soon....

Strangely enough, the only KOR I've seen that really captured my attention

That particular music video was put together by the famous (infamous?)
Christopher Swett.  The video with the chubby guy and the lady cop goes by
the name of 'Everyday is Sunday'.

Originator: seawasp@unixd2.cis.pitt.edu



	Having just watched a whole bunch of new anime until my eyes are
falling out of my head (tapes arrived today), a question suddenly popped
into my head, and I decided to make it a sort of open poll:

	Who is the most way-cool bad guy you've seen in anime?

	Now, before you answer, let me clarify what I mean.

	I DON'T mean cool, like Char Azanabul is cool in shades -- no one
could deny that he's in the running for THAT kind of cool.

	I mean Darth Vader cool. Not necessarily good looking, maybe
no sex appeal -- but he has style, creepiness, EEEEEEEVIL to the core,
and really messes up the lives of all the Good Guys no end. Even
when beaten, there's something huge about him that lingers -- somehow
he remains larger than life even in death.
	(I'm writing "he" because of the general conventions of 
English; however, if your candidate is female, nominate away!)

	Our personal favorites:

	ARAGO, Demon-Lord of the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers series.
The opening scene of the first season, with the ghostly helmet
flying down from the castle in the sky, has to be one of the most
CREEPY scenes I have ever seen on screen. Arago is powerful, evil,
scheming, tough, implacable, and nearly indestructible. The first time
you think he's killed, he just has USED the attack to make himself
more knowledgeable and powerful. In fact, I don't think the Troopers 
have really seen the last of him yet. He didn't go from  being a 
mere mortal to being the sole Lord of an entire plane by being either
stupid or easy to beat...

	   and

	Papsimus Scirocco, from  Zeta Gundam. Papsimus oozes an evil
charm from every pore. Despite an initial superficial resemblance to
Char Azanabul, however, it becomes quickly apparent that he is far
worse in every way. He manipulates everyone and everything around him
to his own designs, blasts minds and hopes and dreams to rubble, and
is amused to no end by the destruction of everything around him. Even
in death he strikes back, shattering Camille's mind and apparently 
it was contact with him that caused Char's final madness in Counterattack
Char. Papsimus is a true-blue villain, sure to rank high in the Anime
Hall of Shame.

"Rotting" is perhaps a misnomer because no germs are involved. :-)

What happens is that if the aluminum surface of the actual LD was
exposed to inpurities, or the protective plastic surface is damaged
in such a way that the aluminum is exposed (HIGHLY UNLIKELY), then
the aluminum can corrode.

This means that the reflective properties of the aluminum will change,
causing the laser to not 'read' the surface correctly.  Most often,
this shows up in 'lines' or 'snow' showing up in the picture.

Of course, if the corrosion gets so bad that there are significant
holes in the aluminum...you have an unplayable disc... :-(

Have I succeeded in hopelessly confusing everyone?  :-)
