I think inherent in this is the assumption that these women are bimbos.
This is both extrememly sexist and no doubt offending to such women.
Isn't this a case of prejuding someone based on physical appearances alone ??
A very dangerous practice

Perhaps the original author ( whose name is lost somewhere in the twilight zone)was using Asian women as a benchmark? If so, there is some physiological 
basis for this. Once again this is genetic and there exceptions to the rule.

From personal experience through in an area with a significant Asian population,
there are siginificant numbers of Asian women that do NOT fall into this 
catagory. Genetics again ..

As stated above, bra size is irrelevant when confronted with blaster. The
quality of a fighter fundamentally resides in the mind ..

just some passing thoughts..
 
Can we discontinue this thread SOON, please !! :-)

If I recall correctly, those are R. Talsorian Game's rules for cyberpunk,
and RTG only focuses on one _branch_ of cyberpunk.

(If I hear one more person quoting these as a definition of cyberpunk, I'll
scream.)

Just saw SILENT MOBEUS 1 (Subtitled), it was pretty good. The story
was kinda jumbled but I guess that's why you have pre-planned sequels!
  The thing I liked most about the film was the Song durring the closing
credits (and all of the coming attractions! Gee, you'd think they'd find
a place for it somewhere IN the movie, or durring the OPENING credits!).
All I know about the song (besides the translation of the lyrics
thanks to those guys at Project X) is that it's called SILENT MOBEUS - SAILING
does anyone know who sings this song? Have the done anything I might have heard
before this? I normally don't like the music in ANIME (with the exception
of the film TO-Y which had some really cool tune by PSYS and the others).
Well let me know!

The Gatchaman LD set has sold out in Japan, but today I found

I can send it for $1,400.
 
I will be gone for the weekend, but if anyone
is prepared to send me a check immediately, I will go to the

I will then confirm whether I was able to buy the set.

Anime fan alert...
 
Is it just me or have any of you fellow elite users been having diffculties
with US Renditons?

I sent off a defective Macross II tape to them UPS August 3rd for replacement,
as suggested by Mike T.  Well it's September now and still no tape!!
 
I have spent quite a bit of money calling them finally getting hold of
someone that was in charge of customer service.  I was told that I should 
wait another week or two!  That's what I call slow service, most any other
company that I have delt with would have taken care of the problem in a week.
 
I also applied for membership to US Renditions as well.  I haven't received
anything about that either.
 
Hey this isn't Radio Shack where customer service depends on who you talk to!
There's a credit card company that says: "Membership has its privileges"

I think I am going to think twice before I ever order from U.S. Renditions
again.  I stand a better chance it seems, dealing directly with a 
distributer in Japan...

I was watching Arion subbed last weekend, and as I suffered through the

be *so* much more fun if I didn't know what these idiots were saying to each
other (although it occasionally reached the point of sublime sillyness: re the
battle oratory scene where Arion inspires the mortal army  by yelling, in
effect, I have an unnatural attachment to my sister! Lets go kill some Titans!
and THE ARMY CHEERS! Somebody said they thought that the mortals maybe didn't
speak the same language as he did.)
 Anyhow, Do any of you out there, huddling  in your flameproof shelters
awaiting the end of the latest Flamewar, have lists of shows that are improved
when deprived of translation?

For the record: I liked Crystal Triangle (didn't LOVE it but enjoyed it none-
theless) when it came out in the mid-80s.   But that was mostly because 
Temple of Doom sucked so bad.    I didn't like it enough to buy it, out of 150
discs, so I guess I'm still sane :)

They Were 11 is a science fiction/suspense anime that once subtitled might be
really good actually.   Ten astronauts are chosen to be on a special mission,
no one knows who else is going to be on board.    They travel to the spacecraft
via jetpacks and meet in the airlock.    However, a quick count reveals that
there are 11 (the title is "There Are 11", I don't know where they are getting
this "were" from, there is no "ta" at the end of the title in Japanese).   This
creates suspicion during the voyage as to who doesn't belong there.   And when
various systems on the ship begin to be sabotaged spirits fly....  

It's really pretty good, but most anime fans and clubs don't have it since it's
mostly a dialogue film (except for the food fight :) ) so it only appeals to
the segment of anime fandom that has some knowledge of the Japanese language.

Roots Search sounds familiar but I've never seen it.

I don't read the Bastard manga so I don't know what is going on now.

The OVA was very simple.  Yoko's castle is getting attacked.
Yoko's father tells her to revive DS.  Yoko didn't want to,

But, apparently not enough to put it on the tape on which it belongs.
Let me guess, you like the other picture in the inset more?

And, then I guess you must *really* like the picture of Madoka from
the back of KOR 3, since you used it twice, once full on the back, and
once in the sidebar inset, thereby only using two pictures instead of
three.

Hey, I'm getting the hang of this  :-)

If not, you're inconsistent.  Or you ran out of pictures you liked.  :-)
