As I've never read any of the Smith novels, I had no trouble with enjoying
the film.  Streamline's voice team was there en masse <seen Akira?  Once
again, whoever did Tetsuo's voice got top billing and played the main
character....>
 
So, yeah, the film did show up, and ran fine, despite the projector
operator's disclaimer that if anything went wrong it wasn't her fault.  As
for it never showing up in Dallas, I guess you could chalk it up to the
anti-Streamline factions or something.  Maybe it was for the better.  <One

Sakura and Happosai, had a terrible Wolfman Jack-impersonator's voice!

I can vouch for Albert that it would be impossible to starve in Oakland, having
survived in north Oakland for the better part of my undergraduate adventure.
Oakland has some of the best Chinese restaurants in the Bay Area, and Bay Area
has the best restaurants in the Western Hemisphere.  Midnight food runs will 
no longer be Bobs, Dennies, or MacD; there is always Sum Hong Kong 3 minutes 
away from Parc (the place is so good all the cops go there, so one shouldn't 
worry about security).  The entire SF Peninsula is just a BART and Muni ride 
away for you to explore.  Berkeley is a only a hop away, and somebody will
certainly take you to the mecca of Cal Animage, 22 Warren, or the shame of
Berkeley at 142 Dwinelle.  If you can crash at a friend's place, the entire
Bay becomes a parking lot, and Parc Center is a matter of steps away from 
the BART station.  This can save some people hundreds of dollars to blow else-
where.

And just imagine, if someone ever gets killed in Oakland while attending Anime
Expo, next year's convention could be called [yourname] Memorial Anime Expo,
and wouldn't that be a great honor.

	I have to agree with Ryan in stating that the novels were pretty bad. 
Mind you,
they did a lot to fill in a bunch of gaps that were (obviously) created
when Macek
laid his magic "touch."  BUt they often strayed WAY of course for some
reason
or another.  Most of the readers are, of course, prejudiced, having seen
the
"anime" before the novel.  It can always be explained that the novels
were a 
"different" version, although I find that a poor excuse for the writing
style.

What Ryan said!  Besides, that, they contradicted themselves.  How in the WORLD

he was TWELVE and living on Earth when the SDF3 took off?  And a

And what they did to Dana (my favorite character) was just awful. 8-p

What's this?  Questions about non-Asian names from one of the resident
senseis?

The anime never mentions MegaTokyo's relation to Japan, but that
doesn't mean the secondary material from the B-Club books doesn't
mention it.  And it doesn't seem that relevant to the story at hand.
Also, would a catastrophic earthquake cause the Japanese to move their
capital?  Considering what they weathered in WW II, probably not.

That's Prisila Asagiri btw, and Linna's last name is Yamazaki so
there's two Japanese characters.  Irene and Vision are Chinese, as is
probably Daily Wong.

How's this for an explanation?

City became more heterogeneous as the result of the quake.  Merchants,
entrepreneurs, humanitarians, and opportunists from every corner of
the globe flocked to the city for any number of reasons after the
quake, thereby increasing the diversity of the population.

excellent music.  But for me, I can't afford to spend $30 on a cd without
knowing anything about it.  (This is why I only have 3 Anime cd's to my

I don't think they ever mention the rest of Japan either, but that's probably
because it isn't important to the plot.

What I wonder is just how big - and how much power - Genom has.  After all,
in the first episode, Quincy states that Genom now makes 68% of the world's
cars.  Pretty massive corporation!  Wonder if they're related to the
Illuminati...

It doesn't seem any more diverse than any other SF anime, although most of
them don't take place in Tokyo.  But take Silent Mobius: you've got one,
maybe two Japanese (Katsumi and Yuki are Japanese first names, but I sorta
wonder about the nationality of "Liquer"...8-), one Australian (Kiddy),
and I guess two, maybe three Americans (I don't know where else you'd
get names like Rally, Lebia, and Roy...).  So a cosmopolitan crew in Tokyo
seems fairly standard in anime.  Actually, non-Japanese names are fairly
common in most anime...they just don't all take place in Tokyo!

You're right that the Brabrow and other One Year War MA's are pretty close
to the Val Varow (sp?) in 0083.  I'd only say, though, that the Val Varo's
electric field attack thingies are *stupid*.  They look like they'd be

Is it me, or does one sense shades of 'Blade Runner' here.  If
one really thinks about ; there are some interesting things  in common
between Blade Runner and BGC. Though no specific Japanese corporations
are mentioned in the movies; there are strong hints of the world being 
run by multinational corporations. Forgive my memory; but its been along
since I wsatched my tape of the movie. Anyone care to offer a specific   
parallel to GENOM in Blade Runner??

Cheers..
