I can remember suffering through part of this at the 1987 Chicago ComiCon...
the Great Man (i.e.,C*rl M*c*k) himself actually brought it to the room party
I was at,and after seeing just a small portion of it,I decided to,uh,go

a few years later,and-shock of shocks!-it still stank up the room in no time

There are several problems in translating anime when dubbing,and not the least
of 'em are the "voice actors",who must possess some sort of hold on their
employers beyond talent-hey,what else could explain the null-nodes keeping
their jobs? Another thing is the "dumbing down" effect...this might be an
IMHO,but the reason three totally separate series were reconstituted into
ROBOTECH was due to (A) Harmony Slop thinking they could get away with it
because the audience wasn't expecting much more than that (which,sadly,worked
out that way,IMHO) after years of dross like HE-MAN and THE SMURFS,and (B)
because HG (HS?) was working out a merchandizing deal with toy companies.
It figures.

There are such things as libel suits...if he really does have a list,of

I took my time running through the CD list, and to my utter
shock, it wasn't there....No BGM from the Gunbuster series!
*WAAHH!* :(

I'm thouroughly satisfied with buying all three volumes that
US REND. released. Loved the plot(except the hole in the plot
where you could drive a mac-truck through, of course :} ).
Loved the music even more.

Heck, I even find myself humming "Active Heart" from time to time.

So I'm asking: Is there any BGM CD for Gunbuster?? If not, be 
gentle...my heart won't take it. ;)

Well according to the last mailing that I recieved from AnimEigo, the Vampire
Princess Miyu LD will be available AFTER July 1st of this year.  As far as
Project A-ko goes, all I know is that a company called Image Entertainment had
it roughly scheduled for release on LD as of March 23 of this year.  You might
be able to find it.

This kind of problem we like to hear about!

Tell the stores they ought to buy 2 or 3 copies of the tapes to avoid
this problem.  Ask them if you can reserve the tape for the next night.
Oh, and if you could email me their phone numbers and the manager's
names, I'll have Janice Hindle give them a call and make sure they have

No minimum order or wait.  They are ready for you.  Send postal money

I am proud to announce that I will make available giant Dirty Pair
buttons. The button artwork is from a beautiful CUSTOM airbrushed
design based on the cover of Animag 4. The skin tones and shadows are
just inexplicable! The shading on Kei and Yuri's clothing bring out
every curve and detail, even Kei's gun is more than just blue and
black drawing! Understand, this is not some ordinary four color
printing job with only a simple two tone skin contrast! This is a
professional, detailed, and very expensive :-) piece of art that I am
making into buttons. These buttons are 3 inches wide!!! This is not
some scrawny little Badge-A-Minit button. I am charging $6.00 each
button and 75 cents for postage and handling.

It was me who first said that some scenes were missing from the video
that were in the movie.  The movie (it is "Ai Oboete imasuka?" not
"renai") had the scene where Milia was wearing wedding dress and Max
wearing suit telling everybody that they are getting married, through
TV.  Another scene I believe was missing (see, I saw the movie when I
was 6grader.  I might be forgetting) was the scene when Macross was
getting out of the ancient city, out of Earth, getting bunch of beams,
three operaters shouting and moving around the partial barriers using
trackballs, and some beams make it through.  I think (my memory might
not be working correctly) this was before the guy's head get chopped off.

Well, isn't there anyone else who has watched the movie in 1984 other than me??

You hit it on the head. Well...Rally changes her expression from a
scowl to a half-smile at the end, but the movie is very serious,

>What gives with this missing parent syndrome?!

Yeah, that's puzzled me too, lately -- it's such a common theme! I would
wager that the vast majority of characters (whose parents we've seen at
all) are missing the other parent -- usually the mother. The list would
be too long to reproduce easily, that's for certain. (Just off the top of
my head, there's Ranma 1/2, Nadia, Yamato, Gunbuster, Laputa...) The
nuclear family certainly is taking a beating here!

Some of them really itch my curiosity. For example, take Yamato. Zordar,
head of the Comet Empire, has a daughter. Who is her mother? What
happened to her? Ditto for Admiral Okita's wife, for that matter.
(Incidentally, I always had a pet theory that Okita was Yuki's
grandfather, based on the fact that, in the photo of Okita's family
that he was always mooning over, the female character (whom I assumed
was his daughter) looked an awful lot like Yuki's mother. Then again,
you know what they say about Matsumoto's female characters...)

I dunno, nothing cosmically important here, but still one wonders where
all these missing parents got to.

Hmm?  There is something called Lipstick, in which a little girl uses
magic lipstick to turn herself into a big girl (for the obvious purpose),
but I'm not sure it's part of Cream Lemon.

Well, in the Orange Road anime, it makes sense.  Whenever Akane uses her
chameleon ESPer powers, the air seems filled with clouds of red dye. :-)

I have heard and ignored most of the complaints about Battletech(I like the

Sorry, there's no "Tim" here. You must have me confused with someone else.
Anyhow, I don't see how wanting a REASONABLE price on Anime stuff for once
could possibly be considered "stuck up".

> to the comic book shop business, (and if you remember any of the Business

Yes, but considering how much BGC costs here vs. that it costs over there, that
would mean that they'd have about a 300% markup AT LEAST, ie. the price they
sell for is FOUR TIMES the price they buy it for (100% buying price + 300%
markup = 400% retail cost = 4x). I'd gladly pay $20 a tape for Bubblegum
Crisis. In fact, I'd probably by the whole series in an instant, but charging
$44.95 for 46 minutes worth of animation is just too insane. I got the original
DUBBED version of Akira for $40 Canadian, and I even thought THAT was pushing
it, so $44.95 for a 46 minute tape that they didn't even bother dubbing is too
much for me. TTYL.
