	A bubblegum crisis is something about to explode, like a bubble.


	I've just seen BGC.

	I can't understand  why it has any appeal. The girls are moderately
appealing, but they ain't knockouts. They have neither the exaggerated
sexuality of the Dirty Pair, the jiggle of the BustGunners... er, GUNBUSTERS,
or the idealized beauty of the other Anime women I've seen. 

	Of the first episode, tons of time is wasted with what is essentially
rather boring music videos. The action is as predictable as the dialogue,
and is thus as dull as ditchwater. The TRANSLATION appears to be well done,
but this doesn't help. 

	The basic plotline appears to steal from Marvel's _Codename:
Spitfire_ (or maybe Marvel stole from them; in either case, Marvel's
version was better). The Boomers/Bumas have no explanation for their
operation, the characters are so cardboard I expect them to disappear
whenever they turn sideways, and the dialogue is so hackneyed that I
could have written a BASIC Program to write it.

	BGC is in essence a TINY bit of BladeRunner (all the worst parts)
mixed with the A-Team and Knight Rider -- with all the wooden 
predictability of both the latter.

	Ugh. Good thing that was a free rental.

Subject line says it all.  A 3-4 minute segment about anime was on Headline
News about 9:55 PM EST (unknown whether it was run earlier).  It was the
segment which ends the 1/2 hour and is generally on miscellaneous topics, 
mostly pertaining to the entertainment field.  These segments get rotated
and are frequently rerun about every 3 hours or so.

Before you say it, no it wasn't a "take an angle on sex&violence" type 
piece.  It was actually quite the opposite.  Narration , interspersed by
comments from interview subjects (John O'Donnell,Carl Macek,Matthew Sweet, in
order) while showing pieces of the anime throughout (clips from Gall Force,
MD Geist,Urusei Yatsura,Lensman,Vampire Hunter D off the top of my head)

Scenes included:

1) Zentraedi soldiers toying with a captured Minmay doll.  One taps it with a
   "laser rifle" (whatever it is), Minmay doll falls, winds up, stands, and
   starts to sing "Watashi no kare wa pairotto" ("My boyfriend's a pilot").
2) Minmay and Hikaru are trapped in a sealed portion of Macross, during the
   "Zero-G Love" sequence.
3) Focus to a military building, where a destroid walks.  Inside, a quick
   meeting of the Skull Squadron main pilots (Roy, Max, and Hayao).

There are also some animating errors as well involving the lighting effects,
but I don't think those will ever be fixed.

There's Kei Yuki from Captain Harlock. (I first thought, how did Yuki Mori from

for both people, except Kei Yuki's uniform is even goofier. Maybe they're
twin sisters or something. Then again you know what they say about Matsumoto's

Also there's that guy from Project A-Ko 3, but his name might just be "K".

She thinks of them as married, but I don't think she's really
fallen for him until the Christmas episode.

I meant to say that she becomes a lot softer in the course of the series.
At the start, she had quite a mean streak.  Like the time she announced to
Shinobu that she was pregnant with "darling's" baby -- a complete lie, of
course.

inexpensive! ), Night's Edge (Alternate reality sourcebook for

BTW, Night's Edge has been very well recieved at GenCON92, the big T$R

market as well. The game design group is called Dream Pod 9.

Another magazine may be in the works too.

EVE isn't technically a part of Robotech, but the Robotech movie had

We didn't decide anything.  We asked Kakinouchi Narumi, and she said
the two Shinma were "Larva" and "Lemures," with no hesitation.

She ought to know, considering she wrote the series.

Date: 30 Sep 92 13:47:32 GMT
Reply-To: jimn@phred.UUCP
Organization: Physio-Control

A question best answered by bi-lingual Japanese/English speakers, perhaps?

Responding to some of my "Mospeada Genesis Climber" questions a week or so ago, one poster reminded me of the word "Legioss" which is included on my Mospeada pamphlet and Alpha Fighter model box. Given the seemingly interchangeable use of "r" and "l" as well as often unusual spelling of English words by the Japanese, is it possible that "Legioss" was meant to be "Regis" (a group that governs in place of a King [Latin "Rex"] under certain circumstances), as in Regency and Regime? I seem to remember --perhap

s incorrectly-- the leader of the Invid (another word for INVADer?) civilization was called The Regis.

The poster also mentioned that "Mospeada" was the (generic?) name of the transformable motorcycle/armored spacesuits. Back in 1985 when I first showed my pamphlet to an engineer at work who was learning Japanese, his response to Mospeada in its katakana form was "Mospeada is a sort of adaption of the words MORE SPEED...", which I suppose would tie in with the concept of those exotic fast motorcycles.

Perhaps I'm just grasping at straws on Mospeada and Legioss, but what do the rest of you know about these words if anything different?     

Please post your responses to the whole net, not just to me.

To: anime-l <anime-l@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU>

What scripts for Lupin III movies are out there? I'm desperately trying
to track down any translations.

I have compiled the following list of Lupin III movies:

1   Mystery of Mamo (poor quality dubbed version floating around)
2   Castle Cagliostro (scripts available, fan subtitled)
3   Golden Legend of Babylon (?)
4   Plot of the Fuma Clan (scripts available, fan subtitled)
5   Bye Bye Liberty (came out on Hawaiian TV subtitled hard to find)
6   The Hemingway Papers (?)
7   Napoleon's Dictionary (?)

Also 2nd series TV eps. 145 and 155 have been fan subtitled (scripts
available). They are Albatross, Wings of  Death and Farewell, Lovely Lupin.

Is there anything else? Are there at least scripts for any of these? The one
person I know who has Bye Bye Liberty is currently in Iceland. Has anyone seen
a good to excellent quality copy of Mystery of Mamo? Doesn't anyone else
out there like Lupin III and want to track down and share Lupin scripts, etc.

it got off to a bad start when the Zabi family interfered.

There is no flavor of Nazism at all in the original Gundam.  The
Jions are simply pictured as coming from European noble stock.
Some Nazi-type elements crawled into Zeta, where the Titans were
portrayed as cold soldiers wearing picture-perfect uniforms, very
Gestapo-ish.  More and more Nazi elements crept in, and in Gundam
0080 you have mobile suits named Kampher, Gelgoog Jaeger, etc.
Kazuhiso Kondo, 0080's concept supervisor, may have had something
to do with it, since he's a military otaku.

Anyway, don't try to judge something you haven't seen.  Watch

Yes, I know about the differences between the originals and  the
sequils.  But then again, the Gundam movies take place in a different
universe from the original series, and the original Gundam novels take
place in still another universe.

Where is Amuro, Char, and Bright Noah in 0080 or 0083?  I don't believe
that these characters are essential for a quality Gundam story.  A lot
of other people were involved in the One Year War.  A story could focus
on differant characters without changing the continuity of the Gundam
background.

My whole point with my original post was that remaking old series seems
to be popular right now in Japan, and someone might be dumb enough to
try to remake Gundam.  Bandai will do almost anything if they think
there's profit in it.  What other explanation is there for F-91?

I think we're both pretty well entrenched in our positions here, so we
probably ought to drop the subject and move on to something else. :-)

The line goes "Earth women that experience sexual ecstasy with machaniacal

I paraphased that line for my Iczar-2 post due, no doubt, to the fact that
