Okay then, why the heck does she need to drain other people's blood?!!
Let her suck herself dry, if that's possible.

"Oh Yes, I need blood!  blood!  I'm dying of thirst"
	Psst!  Psst!  Take a look at your cut finger.
"Oh, blood!  But, I can't drink it... it's my *blood*, ewww!"
	Hey, you're dying remember, of , uh.. blood deficiency, (?)

"If I drink my blood, it'll just make me even more pale, 
 My complextion is already horrible.
 As a side effect of being immune to sunlight, I can't even get a tan.
 Besides, I can't go around cutting my fingers, they'll become dry and sore,
 it'll look so horrible, how can I wear my jewelry?"
	Talk about vain, well then you're out luck, there's no other source..
"Talk about veins, your's looks especially delicious!"
	Uhh, I'm outta here!
"Oh Larva!... You're not going anywhere....., <smack>!"

"You're forgetting who you're talking to, the girl who'd even
 suck her mother dry, and did.  Besides, you'll like it, trust me.
 You'll feel *really* good afterwards"

Any questions?  Flames?  heh, all you Miyu fans are probably too busy
involved with your own petty concerns like finishing last minute
assignments, like the one I'm supposed to be doing now. :-)
Maybe she'll have her revenge after all.

Organization: Physio-Control

After six years of anime models, magazines, this newsgroup, etc., I finally rented a Gundam video for the FIRST TIME... but the cover text was all in Japanese so I don't know which one it was! 

Correction. I do know it wasn't original Gundam, Z, ZZ, or War in the Pocket. In this story, adult Char takes a blue-haired Earth girl --Quess Paraya?-- under his wing, and perhaps 1/4 of the story concerns attempts to prevent a small star shaped planetoid from being rammed into the Earth. 

But even with not understanding Japanese, my son and I were able to follow the plot (after a fashion), and got a kick out of seeing our Gundam robot models in action on the screen.

Two other questions. What was the small T-shaped object that Char (I think) deployed to halt the planetoid's otherwise unstoppable rush towards Earth? And what was said that changed his mind?

Please respond to the net and not just to me. Thanks.

For all the Miyu fans, there's a brand new manga installments for Miyu out
at the bookstores in Japan.  It's called the "Shin Kyuketsuki Miyu" or
the New Vampire Princess Miyu.  The book is to be serialized and this one
is Book 1.

We have an interesting twist as now there are "Seiyou Shinma" or
Western Shinmas invading the territory of "Touyou Shinma" or the Eastern
Shinmas.  The leader of the Eastern Shinmas, the big tree-like guy in the
anime, is quickly killed off by the W.S.s.  Ravar's female cousin, now
grown-up, but still carrying her puppy-love for this guy, is out to get him
back from Miyu's "enslavement".

More interestingly, (though still not in the manga, but in the monthly
manga magazine "Susperia"), Ravar is taken back by the West, his memory erased,
and Miyu gets killed by Ravar and the W.S.s.  Yui, Miyu's sister-daughter-
whatever-vampire, joins the scene, along with all the other Eastern Shinmas
to try to to resurrect Miyu...

That's true enough.  There were many Ranma episodes that I greatly enjoyed.
The problem is that I had to dig through the morass of average to poor
episodes (I *really* can't stand Happosai) to get at them.

The Ranma episodes from the first series concentrated more on the slapstick
comedy than anything else.  That actually worked out well, becuase the
relationships were being defined slowly, but I was too busy laughing
to mind all that much...

The "more action-oriented" Ranma 1/2 Nettouhen episodes lost that comedy
edge, and replaced it with lots and lots of martial arts fighting.  In
general, the character development was *still* proceeding at a snails
pace, and all of the 'action' didn't fill the gap for me.

Mind you, there are *numerous* episodes in Nettouhen that I like, but
the inconsistent quality of the episodes moved Ranma off my "Must-See"
list to "See It If I Can".  The fact that I was also getting into 
"Patlabor" at the time helped, though... :-)

I guess I've seen close to all of them at least once.  Interestingly

returns with water from the Duck Spring...

        To save on bandwidth (I belong to public access, and everytime 
the messages goes over 100 I lose everything) I am putting many different 
things into one message. First.
        Greed: Does anybody out there have copies of Dirty Pair Movies 
and shows? And City Hunter? Please? 

        A gripe: I am REALLY frustrated. I live within 30 minutes of 
Nikaku. I can't go there. I don't have a car. I'm ticking off the seconds 
until my 16th birthday (end of the school year. GOD! Can't we just hit 
the fast-forward button on the universe or something?)
 
Second. To those of you who are Japan-illiterate, holding up your second 
and third fingers means Yatta! It's sort of like Yeah! or giving a thumbs 
up. In the spirit of this Japanese tradition, I propose a new symbol, a 
sort of happiness mark to be used like a smiley. 
 
                \ /,,

Or if someone can come up with something that resembles it more, suggest 
it please.
 
Third. I have come up with an Otaku rating system. You take the points, 
and build 'em up. See where you stand:

... to -100
        Fundie. You believe that any animation without cute furry animals 
is terrible, and should be burned. You are completely shocked by the IDEA 
of violence in "cartoons" (LORD! Harry, quick, cover the kid's eyes! An 
Akira poster!) You probably have never seen an entire anime in your life.
-99 to -1. 
        You don't like the idea of cartoons with a plotline.
0 to 10
        Whas Anime? Is that, like, some sorta foreign word? (drool)

10 to 50
        You mean, like, Mekton?
 
51-100
        Yeah! I love Robotech! Robotech is the greatest! Protoculture 
rules! Whaddya mean, there's better anime?

        You grew up on Star Blazers and Robotech, and have just 
discovered the WONDERS of anime. You are currently trying to save up 
enough to buy some subtitled movies. You might enjoy Akira.
 
251-500

        Hey, the convention's coming! Let's go!

501-750
        (Standard Otaku)
        YES! A new Ranma 1/2 movie! Ha ha ha ha ha! Whaddya mean it's the 
last one? Huh? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I need a drink.
 
751-1000
        You learned Japanese to understand movies. You make regular 
pilgramages to Nikaku. You belong to 5 anime clubs. Your house is full of 
tapes. You bought a Laser Disc player for the anime

	Have you ever been insulted by the way people watch anime?
	I am not talking about someone yelling "What a junk!  How can you
watch this?"  Rather, it is the reactions of the audience, the amount of
respect being displayed, which disgust you.
	Tonight I came home to find my roomate and his friend playing
Gundam 0080 on the VCR.  They asked me some questions, and I answered them,
telling them what the show is about.
	Then, to my surprise, they began to skip parts of the episodes,
namely, non-fighting scenes.  Whole episodes were viewed with scan mode
because nothing "interesting" was going on.  I left them alone, being unable
to keep explaning the story complex.
	Soon the last climatic fight was reached, with Al running between
the two MS.  My roomate asked me what did he want.  I tell him the reason
for the showdown, and why it isn't necessary anymore.
	"What a stupid kid."
	I was totally shocked by the comment.  Fine, so maybe they misssed the
whole message of 0080.  I shut up again.
	Soon it was Bernard talking in the video disc.  Trying to portray
Al's tragedy to them, I began translation the lines.
	They skipped the scene while I was translating.
	I felt an unknown anger rising inside me, not because my efforts at
providing an explanation was interrupted over and again, but rather on behalf
of the artists.  That such a good piece of work was mistreated in this way
infuriates me to no end.  While they were laughing at the crying Al and making
snide remarks I was tempted to deny access of my tapes in the future.
	Obviously my roomate and his friend just wanted to see some mindless
actions.  They are not interested in the story, nor the reality of war it was
trying to reflect.  While I disagree with their tastes I have nothing against
that, normally.  But in the process they twisted 0080 into the very thing it
was trying to protest against, that I felt is an affront.
	After all it is a very rude way to treat someone's creation.

The pictures of a very provacative Madoka, as one might might expect, are
totally out of character to her. But for me, I love the Akemi Takada
drawings (whetheer it be Patlabor,Creamy Mami or (ahem) KOR), because she
does add a spark of sexuality in many of her pictures (I like to consider
her the "Guess jeans" artist of anime for many of the pics she did for
KOR.)

Very clean..That I wouldn't mind (Look at Patlabor; very clean storylines),
but gets me is that KOR has no "bite" in its story. It is a story of too
typical of humdrum life..(I had the same probs with most of Otaku No Video 1982
and 1985.)..The main character is not very determined (but rather very
confused), his friends are fools, his sisters are airheads (Compare to
Kasumi Tendo; as you see, K.T. is not really an airhead), his love of his
life is too perfect (Two years after KOR the movie: Kyosuke becomes henpecked
by Madoka and becomes sucidal being near a superior person..:-), and
of course, that bubble-brained brat who can't take a hint...Maybe if I didn't
see these type of characters in previous anime, I would have like it better.
[FLAME OFF]

So if you haven't seen KOR and just starting out in anime, that's cool;
otherwise......
