Looks like the second one junks *everything*, then marks Doi's articles as

I have a question, too.  What is the "h" for?  And if "f=" refers to the

  How about the dragon-girl from Capricorn?  She fits all of the above

Be that as it may, Kakinouchi Narumi wrote the manga that Miyu is based
on!  She IS the final word on the matter.

That middle character that I couldn't figure out in Larva's name? It is the
same one used for the Va in Vampire, so I guess that must be how it's said.

Remember, nobody has licensed Miyazaki or any of the other things, they

	It's hard to say how long a normal suit can last.  Char (at the end of Zeta)
got to spend a considerable amount of time in open space with only his
NS to protect him.  (From my pitiful readings, the NS will recycle the
air, but prolonged deprevation is certainly something to avoid.)
I think the oxygen deprevation he suffered as a result might explain
some of his...ah... illogical actions.

	While leaping into space unprotected is certainly something I would
avoid doing, the process of "freeze-drying" is not instantaneous.  If my
memory (of D. Adam's 'Hitchhiker's Guide') serves, a human can last
unprotected about 30 seconds.  Quess' journey lasted maybe 5-10.  All
she had to do was plug her ears & nose while closing her eyes and
mouth.

I've been reading all the discussion about Mobile armour suits, etc...
 
although it is fun to try and explain how a suit operates, lets all just 
keep in mind that the mecha suits in Gundam are all PURE fantasy and will 
never exists!! 

Yes, there are things that can be explained (Propulsion, weapons, etc) 
but having the suits dance around and fight in the manor they do is just 
PLAIN entertainment!!!
 
I am not saying that some type of suit as depicted in Gundam cannot be 
built, but one must remember that Gundam still is a story created by the 
imagination of a writer... Just take a look at science fiction stories 
about the future from the 1800s! The original Nautulis had its computer 
use Capacitor memory since at the time it was written no one knew what a 
CHIP was!!!

Let's just remember that Gundam is still entertainment (a kind of 
futuristic Samurai battles in space). As long as it makes atleast some 
sort of sence, the characters are enjoyable, and the audiance keeps 
watching it....
 
I thought I'd just post this before too many people get too carried away 
about the technical reality of a Suit....

Well, keep in mind that this discussion got started partly by your 
post which said that the suits in 0083 are "ridiculous."  If Gundam
is just fantasy, then how could anything in it be considered 
ridiculous?  It wouldn't matter whether the Gundam had thrusters or
wings.
 
But if you are going to watch Gundam (or any anime) and evaluate 
the show or parts of the show as ridiculous or not, then you're 
saying there's a certain range of make-believe which is acceptable,
given the rules of the universe in which the anime is set.  
 
Like you said, trying to explain the stuff is fun, and it's all for
our entertainment.  But good entertainment like Gundam needs 
consistency. :)

        Hmm..  (And no you're not Tonghyun:)   I saw 0080 as a pro-Fed movie,
but it is true that both sides weren't exactly playing koscher ball.  The Feds
were nasty to hide a Gundam suit in a colony, but the Jions were nasty to think
of Nuking the colony over the suit.
        I guess somehow I got the anti-Jion effect from it, even though I
really like Berney (well I like Christina too) in the series.  I guess I didn't
care for the Cyclops unit's guys, since they treated Berney like shit.

Hmmm, this question was brought up before, uh, two years ago (or was it
last year? -- I knew I shouldn't have messed around with all those inks
and paints...  ^_- ).  Somebody mentioned that "madoka" can mean "well-
rounded".  That description fits very well not only physically (^_^) but
personality-wise as well, considering how talented she is.

Ayukawa is written with kanji, but Madoka is only written in hiragana.
Madoka seems to be only a name.

a Japanese pop song.  The people running the video said it was a new
