I'm sitting here watching Appleseed (I got the tape today Kevin..) and I
noticed a silly little error.

As the chopper carrying Hitomi arrives we she it in flight, the rotors
contra-rotate as they should. But after landing we have a top view of the 
rotors spinning down and the rotate the same way....

Sigh, details details....

(For those who haven't seen it the chopper looks like an updated Chinook)

Bob Napton, Dave Riddick and Kevin Seymour handled most of the
promotions.  Between AnimeCon '91 and Anime Expo '92.  Dave was
blessed with a daughter and moved to a job with lots of health
benefits and a better salary.  Bob became the producer for much of the
anime, and with the increased production schedule, he got pulled out
of the loop.  Now Ethan Fogg is holding down the fort in the mail
order dept and Kevin is helping with production and managing things at
USR.  About a month ago, they FINALLY hired a new guy named George to
help with promotions.  He's the one pushing their anime into the
rental stores.  Once he finishes handling this, I suspect that they'll
start catching up on their fan orientated publicity.  (Rental stores
buy in higher volume, allow more anime and non-anime fans access, and
require less publicity and promotion.)

Hope this explains things.  Of course, I could be wrong, but this is
what I haved pieced together from all my conversations with everyone.

Perhaps you're right (in the literal sense),but if this is the case,how is
it that when Ralph Bakshi pulled the same thing in WIZARDS, everybody
complained about the _rotoscoping_?

Do any insightful and all-wise Gundam gurus have the definitive
chronology of the Gundam series? 0083 and 0080 are self-explanatory.
I've heard that Gundam movies 1-3 and the TV series that they are edited
from happen during the one year war of 0079 (do they ALL happen then?).
Where does f91 fit in?

The biggest question  is where does Char's revenge fit in? I think it comes
at the end of the one year war and before 0080 and 0083 (or  maybe after
0080 and before 0083). My friend thinks Char's Revenge comes after 0083.
My not having seen any of the early stuff including 0080 doesn't help the
situation. Can anyone on Operation X help out? You guys must have seen a
hell of a lot of Gundam. Or anyone else? I'm desperate.

She _sometimes_ handles chaos calmly.  Take another look at, say,

The manga maybe.  They make several references to the current year in the
anime, and it's always 1987 before the New Year's episode, and 1988
afterwards.  Make your own conclusions.

There are, I believe, three AD Police 'files' to date.  The first episode
is extremely dark and violent, with more of a cyberpunk feel and
certainly none of the cuteness of BGC.  This one comes closest to doing
"Blade Runner" in  
animation than any of the BGC volumes (i.e. always night, always
raining, very grim and serious, lots of blood).  The second has
character designs by Hiroyuki Kitazume (see "Star Light Angel" in
Robot Carnival, or MZ 23 P3), and seems to be a bit more upbeat, but
not by much (it opens with a subway killing).  I haven't seen the
third episode. BTW - all the vocals in AD Police are in English.

Because it was BAD rotoscoping.  The Fleischer brothers invented the
technique waay back in the 40's, and it can be done right (like the
way Disney does it) or wrong (like the way Bashki and Filmation used
to do it).  Rotoscoping per se is not a bad tool, what matters is
using it right!  Several anime have used rotoscoping to good effect,
mostly for modeling mechanical devices.

Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 10:58:17 GMT

Just a quick note: We've managed to get most of the cels from the
opening and "putting on the Hardsuits" sequences from Bubblegum
Crash.  These sequences were totally done in Japan, and they are
the best Crash cels we've gotten (with the exception of a few
key setups from Crash 3).

A number of them feature all 4 Knight Sabers.

I'll be putting together a catalog on them, which will include
information so that you can find the cels in the video.  Most
of the cels are actual, in sequence cels that are exactly as they
appear; very few are out-of-sequence assemblies.

The crown jewel is the "transparent torso" shot of Priss' harsuit
tightening up.  We have the whole sequence, including the airbrush
"Xray" overlay.

More later -- if there is sufficient interest I will post the
catalog.

[Michael Studte doesn't like it when songs are subtitled.]
 
 
I can see your point, but when all the songs are left untranslated, it
sometimes seems like the people subbing it just didn't want to put out
the extra effort.  AnimEigo uses (usually) a smaller type for their
song translation, which doesn't bother me too much.  Perhaps songs
shouldn't be subtitled if they're just meant to be background noise,
but if they're an integral part of the action, they definitely should
be.
 
  -Ralph Jenkins

BTW Another thing that strikes me as unprofessional is when the
sub/dub companies fail to translate the end titles.  Again, that just
seems more like laziness on their part.

Former Miss Hong Kong?  I can believe it.  You forgot to list all the
ways her Chinese name is spelled, though.  :)

I think she'll do a pretty good job playing Kaori.  She doesn't play
``anguished maidens-in-distress'' very well, but her ``seductive
charmers'' and ``pissed-off babes'' are great fun to watch.  This
latter will be very important for playing Kaori.  I sure hope she
doesn't cut her hair for the role.

Anyone who has seen the original Yasuhiko illustrations for the Dirty
. . .ehm, Lovely Angels should track down "Diary of a Big Man"
(starring Ms. Wang, Chow Yun Fat and Sally Yeh).  In one of the
scenes near the end, she has a hairstyle that makes her look _just_
_like_ _Yuri_.  She might not be able to play a 19-year-old, but if
they ever make a live-action Dirty Pair movie based on the book...

Date: 8 Oct 92 21:20:01 GMT


Hi all,

  I have the following PC game for sale/trade.  I'm posting here because the
game uses anime-styled VGA graphics.  I think the game was originally released 
in Japan, and has been translated into English for import.  In it, you're given
the task of saving the women in the city of Cobra, who are all dissapearing.
After you rescue them, you can "date" them.  This is where it gets hentai
(and lots of it). 

You basically go around trying to gather information to solve the puzzles and 
save the girls. There's a lot of real time combat against the bad guys who 
wander the streets, (which can get a little tedious at points).  

If you're interested in purchasing it or trading, drop me a line. For trades, 
I'm really interested in getting Rex Nebular and MM:Clouds of Xeen.

  Price is semi-negotiable.  Game is brand new and comes with original disks, 
manual and box.

  Cobra Mission      (MegaTech)       VGA    3.5"  .
     Digitized sound f/x with support for Adlib, Soundblaster, PAS, etc.
     Anime-styled adventure game (hentai, r-rated).
     Requires about 12 Meg of disk space.

     I paid $60 for this game, originally, but I'll sell it for $45 or best 
offer.

Akane will beat ANYONE who doesn't believe that..)

Kasumi is not an airhead; she does realize what goes on, but does react
very much (another character like this is Cocoa from Lamune and 40..);
in fact, there ARE time that Kasumi does pull characters off to the side
and give important advice. ANd of course, she would be a much less
interesting character if she was just the "housewife", grumbling and
complaining about her miserable chores and life...(grrrrr)..SHe is the
optimist of the story; she is the one that finds something cute or good
in ANY situation and as little as she comes out in the story, she has
proved herself an invalyuable aspect to the Ranma saga.

Geez, this analysis is going way out there, ne?
