(Oh, man, now I'm sexist.  This just ain't my thread...)

In a previous article, ramberg@futon.SFSU.EDU (James Ramberg) says:

>>What's worse than people assuming that women have to have big breasts to be
>>beautiful is thinking that just because they actually have the specified 
>>equipment, they are suddenly unable to function as well as anyone else.

>I think inherent in this is the assumption that these women are bimbos.

>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

Oh, fer cryin' out loud...  I just based my assumption (HUGE breasts get
in the way of fighting) on some simple facts:

1) Large objects being carried on the chest restrict maximum arm movement
(Why do you think the mythical Amazon archers had one breast removed?
Pretend you're pulling a drawstring (you shoot to your side), you'll
understand...)
2) Not having any, I don't know from experience, but I've heard that breasts
hurt when they get smacked, and the larger they are, the more there is to
get hurt...
3) Heavy objects carried on the chest can't help running much, especially
when they move around a lot.  'Course, doesn't seem to bother track stars,
but then they don't look that large...

Now, I'M WILLING TO ADMIT I'M WRONG.  In fact, given what Jim said, I'm
sure I am.  But I did NOT make a snap, sexist judgement!!  Thank you.

Hey y'all!

	Does anyone know if there is an archive with an english transla-

like is information on the history and background information for Apple-

Ahhh beat me to it..... and I started the topic... :-)
I guess if we are going to take a vote we should have some categories:

Best All-around Opening
Best Opening Music
Best Opening Animation

Best All-around Closing
Best Closing Music
Best Closing Animation (does this category make sense? I mean most have
                        stills....)

Should we split OVA's TV and Movies into different categories???

Image's Dominion laserdisc set was at the video store today.  It
contains the entire OAV series, acts I-IV, on two double-sided discs
(CLV).  The cover features the Masamune Shirow painting of the 'puma
sisters that graced USMC's first VHS volume.  More Shirow color art
adorns the back and the inside flaps.  The discs are encoded with
chapter search, and the chapters are listed on the inside back cover.
The LD pressing is very nice, much better than AnimEigo's VPM disc,
IMO. :(  It was selling here for $69.95.
 
And on a totally unrelated note, I just caught Batman: The Animated
series tonight.  I was impressed!  This is the best American animation
series I have seen in quite some time.  It doesn't pander to the
kiddies!  This one looks like a real hit.

The sub couldn't have been made back then. He had the rights by the
time of AnimeCon '91, when no-one had even seen it on video yet.

I was watching BGC III & IV  over the weekend and noticed something that
I hadn't seen before. 

In the battle between Mason and Sylvia on the roof if the Genom building,
Sylvia wields something that sounds remarkably like a light saber .. or
perhaps something akin to the sword .. I think they called it either
shining sword or flaming sword on the Voltron series. 
Its  something that only shows up for a second or two and its not the death
 weapon.  I had to loop it on my VCR a few times to get a good look at it
.. alas you couldn't freeze frame it. 
Sorry if this is an FAQ ...

BTW, nice to hear that there's a third series in the works..I agree 
the name is kinda lame... Maybe there should be a naming contest at
the next con..

    I also rank the Saint Seiya openings very highly.  However I'm going to 
throw out a real zinger here.  I think one of the most rocking opening 
themes and animations is from:

        Meimon! Daisan Yakyoobu

I'm trying to find some information on the Robotech series that
was aired in the SF Bay Area a number of years ago.

Are complete tapes of the series commercially available?  I've seen 
three series: one with the Zentraedi, another with the Robotech Masters,
and the last one with the Invids.

I'm particularly interested in the Zentraedi and Invid series.

So I would very much appreciate any info on where, if any, tapes are
sold, and a ballpark US dollar figure.

Thanks lots!

Personally, I kinda like the suitup sequences, and not for the reasons listed
above.  Armored, powered battlesuits are a favorite subject of mine, and I find
scenes showing the workings of such suits, especially in startup sequences,
quite fascinating.  Showing how the armor goes together, all the parts 
locking themselves down and interacting in precise sequences, various bits
being tested, the onboard computers booting up, etc., are all things that I,
for one, find quite interesting.

Then again, my favorite parts of the Terminator and Predator movies were the 
P.O.V. shots.  Guess I'm just a techie at heart.

(Oh, yeah, the hentai in me liked the other part of the scenes too.)

    Hmmmm....All right, this is the scoop.  Orguss appeared in Japan in 1983 or 
1984, and although it has Mikimoto character designs it is NOT related to Super 
Dimensional Fortress Macross.  The storyline deals with a fighter pilot caught 
in a future earth with different "realities".  I've never seen it myself, 
however.  About getting it on tape, well, you can chack around, but I came 
across a piece in Manga Newswatch Quarterly that stated that Orguss will be 
translated and brought over here on tape.  This may or may not be true; you'll 
have to dig deeper.  Hope this helps, Rob.

Geez..  what's that dude's problem w/ big breasts on Anime characters?  
While he's at it, he might as well attack every other type of artistic 
media in the world.  Like American Comic book characters?  

I for one would rather see a great looking, full figured babe like 
Madoka, Lum, Shampoo etc, than an average, flat chested girl (hell I can 
get that at School!).

I think that guy (not sure who the originator is anymore) needs look at 
Anime in perspective..  Someone 'told him off' before better than I could 
ever.  (thanks).
