I watched the English-dubbed (Screamline :D) version of Fist of the
North Star/Hokuto no Ken this past week, and afterwards I was a bit
confused.
 
Was this one completely ad-libbed, or is the dialogue even remotely
close to the original?  If any net.types can help clear up the ending
of the film, I'd appreciate it via E-mail.
 
My main question is...what happened to Yuria/Julia at the end?

The two files

macakane.sit          ( Dancing Akane from Classic Ranma opening )
maclovelya.sit        ( Original 3D rotating spacecraft )

have been uploaded to piggy.ucsb.edu into pub/anime/incoming.

They are *Macintosh* Afterdark PICS Player documents.  They were stuffed
with Stuffit, and uploaded with MacBinary turned OFF.

Note that you can make Akane dance faster/slower depending on the INFO
resource.  (Use your favorite resource editor.  ResEdit template provided.)
The same goes for the Lovely Angel's rotation.

Enjoy!

Quoting from the press release, circa about November 15, 1991.

"Japanimation specialist US MAnga Corps announced today that it has 
acquired from Toho International Company, LTD. the North American distribution
rights in all media to the best selling animation series, Gall Force.

The series began with the theatrical release in 1986 of Gall Force:Eternal
Story.  Due the outstanding critical and commerciall success of the feature
film, it was followed by three sequels in the Original Video Animation
(OVA) format: Destruction, Stardust War, and Rhea Gall Force..."

in other words, they have licensed Gall Force 1-3 and Rhea Gall Force

I'm talking from the perspective of a poor West Australian who hasn't

OK, now that we've all refreshed ourselves on how this group started,
that should be enough reason to oppose any attempts to place the anime
group under the animation hierarchy.

But don't you think the Zions are corrupt too?  While the Feds are
outwardly evil (^_^) they have a lot of "good" people on their side, the
Zions have a noble goal (the preservation of Earth and the liberation of
the spacenoids) but their goals are always perverted by some internal
politicking.  The Zions in Gundam 1, 2, 3, Z, and ZZ (and 0080) were
nothing but a power trip for the Zabi family and Hamaan Caan and, at the
core, the Neo Zion of 0093 was Char's little pet project to get back at
Amuro.

How can you like an army that gasses colonies and drops them on cities? 
I dunno, I think the Feds and Zions both suck.  :)

Ugh.  I don't mean to seem as tense as I did last week, and I don't feel nearly
that tense, but as someone with a documented history (in my time on the net) of
defending, describing, or qualifying Battletech, two little things I feel it
is my duty to point out:

1) His name is Kai;
2) Battletech isn't anime.  (Hopefully, by pointing this out in what I'll
admit is a rather blunt and even impolite manner, I can head off a flame war
before it starts...I remember last spring's anime/Battletech go'round...oy.)

Sorry to sound so tense when I'm really not, but I can't think of a way to
say any of these that doesn't read as blunt and rude...

(Besides, Michael A. Stackpole, while a technically decent author, has ruined 
Battletech and MechWarrior for me and a lot of the other former Battletech fans
I know, both here at school and back home...I don't have a lot of respect for
him...)

Hmmm...Mikimoto's style has certainly changed a lot since 1988, hasn't
it?  I'm with you.  I prefer Eve's first incarnation, in Megazone 23
Part 1, to either of the later incarnations.  Part 1 is also my
favorite of the Megazone installments, even though I like Yasuomi
Umetsu's art quite a bit (MZ 23 II).  As for Kitazume...eh, didn't
much like "Star Light Angel", and cared even less for AD Police #2.
Back to Mikimoto, all of his more recent character designs look very
young.  Of course, most of the characters in Gunbuster and Gundam 0080
were kids.  Maybe that has influenced his other characters.
 
Anyway, Eve in MZ 1 remains my favorite of Mikimoto's character
designs.  Minmay in Macross Flashback 2012 was nice as well, but
Minmay just can't compare to Eve.

Say WHAT??!!

I thought Toei Doga's projects predated the Macross animation by at
least five years. This estimate ain't in the credits; I come at this
by taking an armchair count of the frame rate. The Voltron
inbetweening was usually sparser than that of Macross (especially in
the battle sequences.)

Toei did play around with "megaships", however--see "Space Cruiser
Yamato", aka "Star Blazers". It is interesting to note that, two years
after Tatsunoko released "Macross", Toei got involved with Marvel
Productions' toy-based projects ("The Transformers" and "GI Joe").

:) I have had a similar problem. (Heck, I'm listening to it now...) For
me, it's the ENTIRE 3x3 Eyes soundtrack CD... One night I could not go
to sleep as I cycled through all the tracks in my mind endlessly...
ARGGGGGH! :) I have so far managed to wear out one tape copy (since I
don't have CD access everywhere I am), and I'll have to make another
master tape copy soon as well...

Mind you, my headphones aren't taking the bass "booms" too well when
listened to at 3/4 power... :)

Hello everyone,

     My name is Christina (Pui Yee) Tang.  I've just signed up for this group.
I've read a lot of Japanese comics and I love all of them.  But I really don't
know what am I supposed to do here.  All the comics which I've read were
written in Chinese (translated), so I don't even know the English names to most
of my favourite characters.  I signed up because I wish to "meet" more people
who share my obsession in comics, espeacially Chinese.  I've just left New
Zealand where I've lived for 7 years, before which I was born and had lived in
H.K. for 11 years.  I'm now one of the very few Chinese in my school here in
USA, and I miss sharing my Chinese interests, such as comics, Karaoke etc.  I
know this newsgroup is not designed to make penpals, but I have no other way of
finding someone with the same interests as me.  So, PLEASE if you'll be so kind
as to reply my cry for help, and show me what exactly goes on in this group.
Also if anyone is interested, my mailing address is as follows:

Well, no they don't.  The closest we've gotten is people calling them to 
ask questions and report back here.  Mike T. was able to relay some info
from  meetings back when the dubbed stuff was announced, and that's 
the closest any official presence has come.  Of course Robert is here,
John O'Donnell gets the r.a.a. messages somehow (I think he's on AppleLink

Hold it!!  It's not r.a.anime against r.a.animation.  It's r.a.anime against
news.groups.  More on this later.

They wouldn't have to.  They'd just read r.a.animation, and none of the
anime subgroups.

Rephrase to "forced to be placed in".  There was no rec. hierarchy manga
newsgroup before the vote, which was won by the r.a.m. faction.

> why shouldn't r.a.anime be able to stay seperate from r.a.animation?

Because of the same reason that rec.arts.manga should have been
rec.arts.comics.manga.  Please, no flames or arguments to convince me
of the contrary, that time is long past.  Even if I were to remain silent
when the proposal is made (fat chance, knowing me), the following will
happen:

- Someone else in news.groups, whose only exposure to anime was an episode
  of SPEED RACER he saw when she was 10, will suggest the move because of
  the following logic:

	"Anime is animation, right?  So it should be placed under the
	 existing animation newsgroup."

- Someone here will get on his/her high horse and claim that anime is much
  superior to Western cartoons, and should not be placed "under it".  Of
  course, this claim does not make ANY sense if you take five minutes
  to look at the way newsgroup names are supposed to work, but they'll stick
  to it anyway.

- Instant flamewar ensues in both groups.

If you remember the rec.arts.manga flamewar, I ask you to consider this:
	I never cross-posted any of those postings to news.groups to
	rec.arts.anime.  By doing so, I could have tried to appeal to
	the common sense of the people in this newsgroup.  As it happens,
	several r.a.a.ers approached me by e-mail who were quite unaware of
	the bloody struggle to put r.a.manga into place, and they agreed
	with my argument once they knew of it.

Now, why didn't I crosspost?  Because I like this newsgroup too much, and
I didn't want to see it marred by a huge flamewar.

I don't want a flamewar to happen.  If you decide to go ahead and post
a RFD, for Pete's sakes PLEASE be diplomatic if someone there disagrees
with you!!!

You said this does a whole lot more than the first option.  What's the

Screwed up piano?  Screwed Up Piano?????

Gack!  The pianist obviously has heard of Thelonius Sphere Monk,
and you think the technique is screwed up?  Of course there are
lots of seconds used!

(As an aside, my prof's first question on hearing the track was
"Is that Yuji Takahashi playing the piano?"  Anyone able to read
enough of the Japanese credits to check on this?  I think it would
be rather neat, given he premiered the Cage Concerto for Prepared
Piano and produced such a fine CD for the Sonatas and Interludes...)
