She talks so fast though..

There are several Sailor Moon picture books on sale.
These are large (about A4 size) and printed on cardboard type paper
and are about 10 pages each for 380 yen.
I also saw a Sailor Moon "dress up" picture book for 500 yen.
Also a couple kinds of Sailor Moon candy (a box of little candies +
some Sailor Moon toy).

Judging by the number of toys, candies, books, etc on sale Sailor Moon
is coming close to Dragonball, SD Gundam, Ultraman, and ExceeDraft
in popularity.

	These ladies (the Amazons I mean) may have taken their archery so
seriously, that the deviation of even an inch would have (in their eyes)
thrown off their accuracy.  According to legend, they were DEADLY with
those things (the bows that is =}) ).

My archery instructors say that if a bow is held properly, the head is
turned toward the bow, and the string is drawn till the pulling hand
touches the chin, there is *no* chance of such an accident, much less
a loss of limb.

Anyways, this is the "conventional" method, and probably the safest.
Rather this, than gaining a few extra inches of force, and risk losing
various anatomical parts (there are stories of archers who forgot to
wear their armguard, and the bowstring peeled off a layer of skin!).

Another set of postings of information from Curtis Hoffmann..
[Are people still interested?]

   Just in case no one else has mentioned it (and I'm sure that someone
will,) _Gun Smith Cats_ volume 2 will be available in Japan starting
September 22 (500 yen cover price.)  If you like Kenichi Sonoda (and
_Riding Bean_,) you'll love Gun Smith Cats.  If you already own volume 1,
you HAVE to get volume 2.

   Of course, the best thing to do is to find someone that lives in Japan
that will buy a copy for you right away (like Bret Halford,) rather than
wait for it to appear in the U.S several months from now.

Well, I was wrong.  "Ultraman" has been moved to 10:30am on Sunday.
"Conan" precedes it in "Ultraman"'s original time slot.

The show is hokey, formula-driven, hits you with an environmental
message, and has a dose of melodrama.  A very *large* dose.  :-)

It also doesn't take itself seriously, except for the "Save the Planet"
message.  Even the original "Ultraman" took itself more seriously
that this one.

In its own way, though, "Ultraman: Into the Future" is entertaining...
...just as long as you leave your brain parked at the door... :-)

on 10 Sep 92, i say:

i think that jim ramberg (and others) took part of james shank's message
out of context.  the overall logic of james shank's post is that chest
size is NOT a consideration for a well-trained martial artist.  keeping
the last paragraph IN CONTEXT indicates that some female martial artists
would love to beat the daylights out of some sexists.

i agree that taking the last paragraph OUT OF CONTEXT creates a radically
different meaning.

I just watched Macross Summer '84 for the first time.  Whatta movie!
But that's not what I'm posting about.

Before the movie started, there was a commercial for an translated 
anime feature entitled "Silent Mobius", which the announcer pronounced
"Silent Mid-chek" or something like that.  And he said that it was--was
ROBOTECH?!  "(something) Hunter vs. the Invid, with a special weapon, a
sword made especially for her by the Robotech Masters"?  Aside from the 
fact that Mobius is supposed to be pronounced "MOE-bee-us" (isn't it?),
what the heck is going on?  They can't be serious...can they?

Also, I thought that Silent Mobius was a Russian cartoon, featuring
a mustachioed, monocled explorer who resembles a British explorer of the
19th century (At least, that's what I saw in Omni Magazine a while back
with that title; the pictures looked really wierd).  This "Silent Mobius"
(or "Silent Mid-chek", as the case may be) looked completely different.

Can someone tell me what's going on?  (Perhaps this might be a good
question for the FAQ list...)

The problem some people have with this is that who decides what is good or not.
Ya gotta pick your audience.  The first time I showed anime to my girlfriend
I showed her Nausicaa, since it was apropriate.  (She liked it so much she came
with me to see FOTNS in the theater...grossed her out! :-)).  If I was showing
anime for the first time to a bunch of younger teenage male friends, I would
show BGC.  Why?  Becuase that would grab their attention more than Nausicaa.

ry and acting. The jerkiness still inherent in the stop-motion filming pr
cess added to the illusion of the models as being giant lumbering fightin
 machines, in much the same way it made the AT-AT models in Star Wars bel
vable too. Also, though I realize the robots in ROBOT JOCKS represent an 
arlier level of robot technology than those in GUNDAM for instance,

One of my friends, whom I watched the show with, commented that almost
everything in the movie is a direct rip-off of BattleTech.  The gen-
etically-engineered GenJox (the Clans' Trueborn warriors); the arena
combat (Solaris IV, though arena combat was around before then, too);
even the sequence where the mechs shift modes and blast off into outer
space (Land-Air Mechs (LAMs)).  It certainly WAS a great movie, and it
proves that it would be possible to make transforming-robot anime (such
as Macross or Megazone) into a live-action movie.
