Rather than post several times in response to several different topics, 
I once again chose the easier (for me, the UNIX.illiterate) course of 
lumping everything into one file.

I wonder if this saves anybody any money...

DISCLAIMER: this was not intended to outmaneuver anybody's kill file.. :)

That's what I mean about the BGC Poll. I don't think people should vote
for Nene because she's cute or for Linna because she's good-looking, I think
people can come with better reasons.

>us in raa.  It was NOT a "best looking" poll.  It was a "who best represents

Relax, I know; I meant people were turning it into one by voting for Akemi.

>Watch the miss-quotes.  I know where you live :-)

Okay! :) But I know where you live, and it's a longer way down from your 
7th story window than from my 2nd story one.. :)

Okay, but at least she's not as 'cute' as C-ko... 
:p

I had about six other reasons, but I can't remember them right now....

	On another thought, I just wish Sonoda will write a side 
	story on Vision only. 

It would be nice to see a Vision-only manga/anime, but, minor point, Sonoda
didn't write BGC, he just designed characters for it. Does anybody remember
the name of the creator/writer? He was the one who announced BGSmash at
World Con, right?

There's no point to your question. Who would subtitle something that's 
already been done ?

Have you watched your AA tapes? The timing of titles to voices is usually 
wayyy off.. (I'm not picking on Chow, I think he had a reason for it..)

Don't help. I've seen it. Just an '90s version of the old men-in-rubber-
monster-outfits-in-repetitive-martial-arts-combat movies. I haven't seen 
the Guyver OVAs, but I think the plot is fairly intact. The acting's horrible,
not to mention that the villain's primary yes-man is JJ from Good Times
(Jimmy Walker)... yes, he does say 'Dy-no-myte!' once....
