Regardless they seem to build alot more suits for the Feddies than Jion. and
I have no idea why they always seem to stick with sphere designs for the Jion
suits and polygon designs for the Federal Force suits. It's not like either
side really cares what shape their M.S comes in, as long as they work. This
is a trend I notice in several mecha series where both sides mechs are
distinguished by different basic designs. eg: F.S.S A.K.D always have nice
sleek, triangular designs while the Philmore M.Hs always seems to be spherical.
It may not matter as much for F.S.S but in Gundam where balance is an important
issue, this does everything to distinguish sides.
 
As a followup to the previous statement about staffs of 0080 and 0083 being
Jion fans it's expected. And what alot of previous analysts missed in their
comparison of Jion/Fed to real life wars neglected to include is the fact that
that's the way alot of Japanese feel how they are being treated by the U.S. 
(I know I'm asking for flame here but it happens to be true)

Huge?! hahahahaha... Not by my standards... some of the groups I read have 
well over 100 a day, close to 200 at times... Of course I tend to kill a lot
of them...

But really, why split it? The fan fic is miniscule compared to the ammount
of posts. What? OIC was 42 posts spread over 2 weeks, there's been what,
something like 6 Miyu posts? It might be large in terms of k, but it really
only affects news depending on number of posts. Making a fanfic group will
just make another group to read, and for people to carry.

The newbie group is silly. If you've been on the nets you'll know that new
users never use groups intended for them, just as they always ask FAQs. Its
sort of a tradition.

>	I mean, granted I've been gone the last several weeks, but

Several weeks? If it were two weeks that's only 37 posts a day. Which is lower
than many groups.

Earth 1 didn't have any "animation" (man, that looked bad), and Earth

I haven't seen New Century, although the clips I have seen and a few

Not so in 0083. Jion characters like Gato, Delaz and Bitter are very
noble and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for their
country. 

In comparison, Kou became a berserker whose only purpose in life is
to kill Gato. :(

I have to agree with you here. :( However, Jion commanders in 0083
DO care about their men (except Cima, of course).

That's true. But dropping a colony on an enemy base (Jaburo) is not
neccessarily an *evil* act.

>I'm not sure anyone but Jion Daikun and Char ever truely believed in
>that goal.

Most Jion soldiers did (according to novels and EBs), although that
can't be said for people like Giren Zabi, Killing, etc. :(

Actually I am more inclined to believe John O'Donnell had much to do with the
story being done. 80% of the clips were USMC, John has extensive contacts
in the electronic media (or so I've heard).  For all we know, a couple of 
interns at CNN got the entertainment producers to take a whack at it.

As for why John (president&founder of Central Park Media ) and Carl (same
with Streamline) were the interviewees, well, they were probably the easiest
to get ahold of, and are already more the point men for the companies
(CPM is the video market distributor for AE,USR,USMC).  Since the reporter
is based in Hollywood, Carl would be extremely easy to get ahold of, and
likewise it would be easy to interview John in NY.  Besides, I wonder how
long it took to put the story together anyway.

Some people are truly pathetic. One time a bunch of us were sitting around
watching Maison Ikkoku and one guy asked (and I quote): "So when does all the
lesbian sex start?"

It's disheartening sometimes to seek out the best that anime has to offer and
try and share it with people when they are just interested in something that
has many explosions, loud noises, and a high percentage of fleshtone-beige on
the back of the cels.

Because anime operates in many different genres, it appeals to a wide variety
of viewers. Everyone can find something that tickles their own preferences, and
maybe a few things they didn't realize they'd like. Unfortunately, there exists
a variety of video junkies who look for nothing in their entertainment but that
which is un-difficult, superficial, and simplistic. I see where Mr. Macek
thinks his audience is going to come from.

Don't let the boorish people get you down too much. If they don't want see
beyond the action and blood n'guts in some weird foreign cartoon there's little
you can do to make them see what they're missing.

The more I hear about what Jions preach, the more they sound like Nazis.
Also, it seems to me that Gundam series sort of serves as indoctrination
to Sakura mentality  and fascism.  I can almost hear someone shouting
"Hey, it's only a cartoon!  You are reading too much into it."
But consider that many Germans bought into "those ridiculous ideas", and
many kids were indoctrinated through illustrated books and such. 
Anime, having more audio visual impact, would be even more effective
propaganda tool.

Spacenoids consider their home to be the Earth Sphere, which of
