Hmm. "Beast City" or "Demon City" would have (a) sounded better and
(b) been more accurate translations. As I recall, the two kanji
which are translated as "Supernatural Beast" mean something like
"supernatural/magical" and "evil creature/monster."

"Wicked City" sounds absurd, IMHO.

   The "unshackling" was necessary because the spacenoids' way of
life was radically different from earthnoids, who continued to
exercise political control over the former.  Naturally, spacenoids
wanted some form of autonomy.
 
   There are several possible reasons why bits of Nazi Germany are
in Jion.  First, when Tomino created Gundam and gave Jions the "Sieg
Jion" cry, I think he wanted to add a touch of flavor to Jion, to
give his cel creation some root in the real world.  Also, he may
have wanted to create a feeling of ambivalence towards Char and the
rest of Jion among fans.  "They're cool, but are they Nazis...?" 
Likewise, he created this feeling of ambivalence towards the
Federation by giving them heroic pilots and the "hero" MS (Gundam)
while portraying their civilian and military leaders as sly and
greedy men.

   Later "Nazi/Germany" additions actually came from other staff,
who are Germany otakus or war otakus.  (I doubt that these staffers
are Nazi fascists, like I don't think all Civil War buffs are
pro-slavery.)
 
   As for Cima, see episode 12.

   People were forced to migrate into the colonies by the
Federation, not unlike the way the Nazis herded Jews into camps. The
colonies are subject to all sorts of cosmic rays and many dangers
like decompression, etc.  In 0083, the hijacked colony was built
(and was to be managed) by a private enterprise. Probably many of
the other colonies were built the same way, so these mega-
investments meant the colonists had to pay rent to live in a place
where the they were shoved into.

Oh, which reminds me, I forgot one:

single or small number of targets, esp. from an Alpha or Legioss mecha, when 
the target is at best worthy of one to three of them.  Note that it is possible

Well, if you guys really think it's necessary, I'll do it.  But I'll need
to know that LOTS of people want me to.  Although I'm flattered by the
curiosity generated by one of my old stories (19 months old), I have qualms
about posting those nine huge chapters again, when possibly some kind person
who does have FTP could solve the problem by emailing copies.  (I can't keep
files in this account for long.  Wasp?  Larry?)

I've got to admit, I'm curious to see what Lord Robin would look like on
paper.  There were illustrations when it appeared in ANIME HOUSE PRESENTS,
but, although I loved the artist's work, his rendtion of Robin wasn't quite
as I imagined him...

They just collated all Aeon Flux segments and showed them back-to-back.

MTV showed all 6 episodes of the first Flux in LTV and that did take up almost
most of the show. Unfortunately, LTV is the only place you can see it and the
sequel, if you can call it that, is what is going on now.

P.S.

Every time he took it out of the apartment to photocopy a couple

"Yeah, these highlighters are great pens.  Watch...."

It would happen with only that book.

Actually, this new batch of Flux was done specifically for MTV, and therefore
don't qualify. The First batch wasn't made specifically for MTV, or America,
but Aeon Flux is made in Korea. I don't think their animation is considered
"Anime" anyway.

Remember, the purpose for Kyoko's drunkness was for her and Godai to become
close. (ie. taking him to exam). Kasumi does not need to have her defense
lower because her "lover(friend)" To-fu sensi is not a big loser like Godai.
This leads back to something I talk about in the previous posts. It is
Rumiko Takahashi's way of making millions of Japanese man feel better about
themselves. After all, if Godai can find someone as beautiful as Kyoko, then
there is hope for rest of us who are not as big a loser. :-)

Why is this such an outrageous suggestion?

It is perfectly feasible that the Japanese kanji-ized (for lack of a
better term, or is that katakan-ized?) an English phrase and then
developed an acronym for it.

This practice is common in the US using English words (CARE, START,
SALT, radar, l/maser), so why not the Japanese?
