	Isn't it suspicious that Panda said 'bye' right at the eve of 
finals and killer cramming time?  He is a student (I think) and he might
very well be going home for Christmas break.  I have a (bad) feeling that
we'll be hearing from him again.

	If not, at least we know there are people like him, *all over the world*

Kadokawa is going through a lot of restructuring right now, but
because they have a large cash reserve, they should weather the storm.
Don't expect radical changes, but maybe a less prolific output.  In
case some of you haven't noticed, the entire anime industry in Japan
is going through "downsizing" right now.  Too many years of mediocre
output.  Things should seetle down in approximately two years and the
end product will be a leaner and more quality orientated anime
industry in Japan.

I just pulled out my copy of #28.  After flipping through it, I came to the
conclusion that nothing prior to January 91 made it into the "picture section"
The old releases listing in back, in addition to not having a picture, don't
have a description.  For the short listings, the only info given is the title,
who released it, running time, and order number.  The length of the
catalog is 282 pages.  I imagine the more recent ones are approximately
the same length.

As for the price that S&S is charging for #27, I think the cover price is
600 yen....

On that note, I'd like to introduce Anime Expo's second GoH.  Someone
who is well known in both anime and modeling circles:

Makoto Kobayashi

Character & Mecha Designer and Director for Dragon's Heaven
He also did the mecha designs for Z Gundam, Venus Wars, and Giant
Robo.

His further credits will be listed in Progress Report #1.

I have the comics.  It is two volumes total about the same size as he 3X3 eyes
series.  It is pretty good.  It is a romantic comedy about a policewoman and a
magician who save her life when she was 14 (I think...I can't remember).

	Carl Macek and Streamline Pictures NEVER had the rights to the

	permission to have it shown in the US TWICE, once at the SD Comic

I have a question about Appleseed.

What is the name of the main female character (the one who's most often
shown in publicity pictures)?  What is/are the name(s) of the mecha and\or
robots she uses or is friends with or associated with?

Thanks for the help.  I'm trying to answer a friend's questions and
I'm not real knowledgable about Appleseed.

Where did I hear this title before?!? Can't you think of something a little
more original??

Awww no! Not one of those again! 

One word of warning. Only attempt this monumental task if you REALLY know   
what you're doing or if you THINK you know everything about Gundam.

Although I know a thing or two about Gundam and is in the process of creating
an RPG for it (for the past two years) I won't even ATTEMPT to walk in Tomino's
shoes.
