I do understand that an I-Field would not work against projectile
weapons. (realy, I do :-)) I also understand that I-Field generators
arn't very reliable.  But I just watched episode 11 again, and I swear
that the Neu Ziel was as big (if not bigger) than the cruiser (I think
it was a Magellan class, but it might have been a Salamas) it came up
beside and destroied.  And even if the current ships are unsuitable, the
technology can be designed into later classes.  SOME defensive
capability is better than none at all.

(If nothing else, a separate reactor can be installed to power the
I-Field generator)

By the time of Zeta, if I'm reading my various background books
correctly, most MSs were using beam rifles as their main weapon.  Also,
beam barrier technology does seem to improve over the coarse of time.
The one (and only one) thing I liked about F-91 were the beam shields.
They were logical extentions of previous technology.  Some form of beam
barrier technology for the ships would also be an eventuality, in my
opinion.

Were they lost because they wore out or because they scared the s**t out
of the other side and were thus singled out for destruction. :-)  Also,
given the shortness of the wars (the One Year War would not have left a
lot of time for mass production, in spite of what Tomino believes),
there was probably not enough to build more (much to the relief of the
Feddies).

    I can tell you, and the answer is yes.  Or at least he has access to a 
modem.  Neil frequents fidonets anime echo somewhat regularly.  However, I 
thought he was in the Massachusetts area.  Just wanted to know if the phone

    I try to find out the exact BBS that Neil logs onto since he recently

        No, doubling a vowel in Japanese makes no difference in the 
pronunciation. It just makes you pronounce it longer.
for example:
shi would be prounouced like shee
shii would be prounounced like sheeeeee.

	<1992Sep27.035452.7163@panix.com>

   Well, finally got to see me tape of Orguss and I enjoyed it as well. 
The animation might not be the best (eg. the gerwalks were a little
stiff, even for flying), and not all the dubbing choices were the best
(eg. how about that one hulking general with the square jaw that sounded
like a 'Kai' type of character).  But I enjoyed it.  I have several of
the Revell released versions of Orguss Mecha, and I've always wondered
about the story they came from.

    Now for my question:
    Does anybody have any technical statistics on the mecha in Orguss? 
The only Mecha I've recognised from my models so far was the Orguss
(which hasn't made its appearance yet), and a model that resembles the
gerwalk but is very different (the model looks like a scout or training
version).  There is also one other transforming mech that I haven't seen
at all yet.

    My only complaint is that they're doing 3 episodes per tape.  (I
heard that there's 32 episodes total, that's about 10 to 11 tapes!!)

For you, Viboon, here are the lyrics to the "Touch 3" title theme,
"Don't Pass Me By", in romaji and in Japanese Industrial Standard
codes.  The ESC characters in the JIS codes are replaced with "^[" for

These and many other anime song lyrics and translations are available

I'm translating these songs to learn Japanese, so if you notice any

	Oh, Mr. Barnes, ye of little faith!  While  anime as a whole does not

 but God only knows where.
	Besides, any game can be bent to correspond to your particular

Poor ratings?  :-)

I may be starting yet another flame war (but what's one more? :-)), but
I didn't think that Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen was *that* good.  Yes, it

that it was.....ok....

Despite this, I'll probably still keep watching until the end of

        That must be similar to the psychic barrier that Chien Agi uses against
Quess in Char's C/A right before they both bite the big one.  Chien was able to

   Steve is absolutely right here folks.  At Anime Expo I went up to the 
ANIMAG table and asked why I hadn't received my subscription issue.  They 
told me that I had to prove that I had a subscription by sending them a copy 
of the check.  To say the least I was rather POed as there has been NO 
mention of this in ANIMAG 2.1-2.  My situation is more complicated as I 
paid for a subscription for a friend too.  To say the least I will NOT 
subscribe to ANIMAG ever.  I won't even pick up the two volume 2 issues.  
And when I get the address to send the copies of the checks to ANIMAG I 
won't have a lot of nice things to say because I feel they have not made the 
effort through there own magazine to contact the subscribers.  Sure I 
understand that Malibu is "playing dirty" by withholding the subscriber list 
, but that does not excuse the editors of failing to use their own medium to 
contact the subscribers.

    I think someone posted the new ANIMAG address on on GEnie n the JaMO 
(Japanimation and Manga On-line) area.  If I find it, I will post it here.

     Jeff Okamoto, if you read this I suggest you explain why the suggestion 
above has not been used and subscribers left in the dark.  And while I'm on 
it, do you think that ANIMAG will stick to the schedule as Trish Ledoux 
promised on the American Anime Magazine panel as she emphasized with fist 
pounding. (Yes, I'm the guy who was videotaping the panel ^_^ )

Hmmm....I was flipping channels, as usual, and something caught my eye... there
was a mecha on regular broadcast TV! It turned out to be a report on anime on
CNN Headline News Network.

They interviewed some guy from USMC, and they talked to Carl Macek (finally I
got my chance to flick him in the face for his crimes...:) ) The report also
covered violence and sex in anime, and mentioned the growing acceptance and
fandom in North America. An interesting point (I thought) was that they
mentioned that anime might be more popular if it were broadcast on network TV
more... since Ted Turner is starting a cartoon network, it's nice to see his
company is aware of anime's existence...

You may be able to catch it later tonight on CNN or HNN; they usually end up
showing a story about 3 times per day...

Interesting!

This thread started off as best opening, primarily based on
*animation*, but the poll reflects preference based on opening music.
Had animation been a greater factor, would Crash! have received more
votes?  Same applies to Macross II.

I know my votes for the openings were based on the animation, which is
why I voted for Crash! and Macross II.  I only voted for one KOR
opening because the animation didn't grab me as much in the other two.

Of course, endings are different.  No one tries to impress you with
whiz-bang animation while the credits run.  So, it's natural for the
songs to be a factor here.

But, an opening is not just a song.

(In some cases, it's an explosion [BGC 1]  :-)
