Actually, if you'll look closely during episodes 84 and/or 85, you'll
see that the word IKAZUCHI is painted along the sides of the ships.
They ARE named in the series...they just aren't talked about.

Sorry to worry all the gays/gals here on the net. At that time
I made my annocement that I was retiring from the anime world
forever, things had happen that cause me to do this rash thing.
Since there has been A LOT of rumoursflying I just want to get
things straight.
The reason that I had made my decision was of a relationship with
a very known Otaku who is a regular on the net, anyways, you can figure
I was the one who was left with a broken heart.
(Heh, I should do a manga about this, any takers! NOT!) 8-)
Anyways............
Things are allright and right now I just need a vacation from things, 
BUT I AM NOT GETTING OUT OF ANIME!
I found that out QUICK when I tried! It's an addiction and there are
people who like my work, and I am VERY sorry if I disappointed you
all. 
I'll still be around at time posting my little sarcastic postings, 
since my short absence, there seemed to be a lot of interesting
little postings that I need to question.
For all who know about IRC, you figure I have been on as Chun-Li
(heh my favorite Street Fighter 2 character! HIYAKU RETSU KICK!)
so if you like to talk to me I am on there, SIGH! I need a social
life! NOW!
(SIGH! I need to learn puntucation too and how to spell! JUST MY LUCK!)

So I guess it's safe to say I am feeling much better now!

To avoid being lynched by the nets, 1 and 2 are currently available via ftp,
and we won't be reposting it just yet. Perhaps once 4 is done and the story is
complete we will clean up 1 and 2 a bit and repost them. But I think it would
be a waste of bandwith at this time.

Three Gundam movies were compilations of TV Episodes with some new
animation sequences thrown into them. However the novel version
(NOTE: I only read the Japanese version, not English) is EXTREMELY
different from anime in both story and character interactions.
There are so many differences between anime and novel that it's
impossible to list them all but the most significant difference is
that Amuro and Hayato DIED in novel version.

Although I have been a Gundam fan from when it first started in
1979, I have to admit that the quality of animations in the
original Gundam is not up to the level that most people expect from
anime these days (although there are many OAVS which look a lot
WORSE than it). It's very unlikely that the original Gundam will
achieve a big commercial success in US even if it's dubbed. 

If I were to release Gundam in America, I would start off with
Gundam 0083.

I still say BGC is being "over-criticized".  So it's "style over
substance"?  So what?  I think that's part of its charm, in a way.

I mean, why do fans of BGC like the series?  Because of its
in-depth examination of the human condition?  :-)  Naaaaaah.

Great character designs, great mecha designs, superb animation (for the
most part), exciting, intense fight scenes with pretty decent excuses for
them :-), and, of course, KICK-ASS MUSIC!!

BGC is a ball for those who don't look down their noses at stuff which
is just meant to be exciting, intense, and a great time.

Occasionally, it even goes beyond that, like in MOONLIGHT RAMBLER, which
I will defend to my dying breath as a damn good story.

(And occasionally it forgoes "intense" for "cute", as in BGC 8.  But I
digress...)

Hi all. I'm just posting this to ask if anyone (either in Japan or 
outside Japan) ever got their free gift promised with the purchase of the 
Kurenai no Buta CD Soundtrack.  Now, I live in California, so I didn't 
expect Tokuma to send me a free gift all the way to America, but there 
was a questionaire in Japanese that I filled out (what newspapers/tv 
programs I listen to or read, what music I like, etc) and it said I'd get 
a free prize (I forget exactly what it was now, a free print I think) if 
I sent it in before the deadline. Well, I sent mine in complete (in 
Japanese) before the deadline, and *sniff* no free prize in the mailbox.
  I did not expect to receive one here in America, but still hoped. :)
  Did anyone else (either in Japan or outside Japan) receive this free 
gift? What was it? How long ago?
  BTW, I enclosed as an "enticement", some nice new American postage 
stamps to help cover the cost (4 of them). Oh well.

Yeah, gee I never thought of that when I was writing it.  Or when I read the
reply, for that matter.  I kinda assumed that they were still talking about the
ANIME females, whom everybody keeps claiming are big-breasted bimbos.  I would
not call them that to their faces, but then again I shall never meet them 
either I would suppose.  (Priss would pull a concealed weapon and open you
like a thanksgiving turkey.)

Incidentally, I had a conversation with my wife about this and she was of the
opinion that if one was combat-trained, the muscle structure of the chest would
tend to "emphasize" the size of the ummmmmm... organs in question, making them
appear larger than they actually were.  (or if they WERE large... 8-)  Also, 
this would produce a thinner figure, though it couldn't overcome the obvious
restrictions of the human skeletal system.(Some of those females ARE incredibly
thin.)

anyway...I'm pretty well convinced that this explains a certain amount of what
I saw in tournaments and classes, but I don't know if it applies to anime.

I still liked the comment about larger breasts being "Easier to draw" than
more realistic ones.

Well, todays Batman episode, "Feat of Clay part II" was easily, IMHO, the
best animated episode yet.  And looking through the credits, animation
for this episode was done by Tokyo Movie Shinsha.  The motion and action was
alot better done in this episode than the first few, again IMHO.

The shading was also more complex and complete in this episode as well.
