	I was wondering if anyone out there could help me ..
	I have been interested in Anime / Manga for a while and I am in
desperate need of some kind of informative book / file to get me up to a half
reasonable standard of knowledge.  I really need information on :

	Where to get a wide range of stuff from fairly cheaply
		( I don't mind if it's not in the UK as I am willing to pay
		  postage on bulk orders. )

	Where to find info on stories ( I know a fair amount of the ftp sites )

	Where to get info on the history, techniques of art, history of videos
		etc, etc, etc.

	Many thanks for for your time .. *8)

If I remember correctly, the New Type population explosion didn't occur
until "Z Gundam" (and continued in ZZ), which was around U.C. 0086 or
0087.  At that time, the Neo-Jions and the Augusta Institute started
"manufacturing" New Types.  Previously, New Types had been a natural,
and fairly uncommon, occurance.

Whatever the actual reason behind the lack of New Types in "War in the
Pocket" and "Stardust Memory", it makes sense that New Types would be
rare in U.C. 0080 and 0083, respectively.

  I don't know, I guess I got lucky.  I ordered Macross II from USR and they
shipped it over.  I didn't have to pay any GST and S&H was only $3.50 (not
unreasonable).  They didn't mark it down as a gift or anything so I guess they
didn't check.

  BTW, would GST be exempted (even if they checked) had they marked the package
as a "gift"?

Subject: Not a good year (1992) for anime!
Organization: AT&T
Distribution: usa
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 22:12:14 GMT

1992 was over, so was my expectation for anime.

I would have to say: what a disappointed year it was.

Though I havn't seen ALL anime produced last year, I have seen plenty.

I remember the New Type 1992/1 claimed 6 big project: F91,
Only Yesterday, Roujin Z, Arsland War, Silent Mobius and one other
I can't recall.  Except SM which I havn't seeen, I've watched most
theatrical films:  F91 was a big disappointment (compared to Char),
Only Yesterday was interesting, but notas good as I expected.
Arsland War was pretty bad (though some animation looks nice),
Ranma1/2 movie was bad (not much new ideas, I would rather watch the 
first TV season again), and Nadia movie was a let down also.
The only exception among these might be the Roujin Z which was quite
good.

On the OVA side, I just finished watching Record of Lodoss War,
a very bad production to begin with, story was too predictable and
boring.  0083 animation was good, but too many Gundam formular,
still not too bad, though.  The Giant Robot has some fantastic
animation action sequence, but the plot is too weak ...
About the only series that catches my attention is the Tokyo Story
(or Tokyo Babylon?), a 4-part anime, the chief director was Rin Taro.
This is by far the best OVA series I've seen, the animation, the plot,
the music are all very good.  Detonator Orgun has some good fighting
sequence, but the characters are again copy cats of many anime.

The memorable anime of 1992, to me, are only Roujin Z, Only Yesterday,
Tokyo Babylon.  Sigh ...

Looking forward to this year's  Patlabor the Movie, II.

1] Enterprise v. sdf-1: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Thank you.

2] While at Arisia, I was part of a minor arguement about the possibility
   of anime on network television.  It is my thesis that the TV industry
   in this country, with the exception of FOX and MTV, views animation as
   children's programming, and as such will only show animation in the early
   morning and late afternoon time slots.  Since Disney has created an ever-
   growing block of 1/2 hour shows [note: no flames, I'm a darkwing duck/goof
   troop fan meself], all programming has been geared to combating this. Thus
   animation of the Robo[excuse me]tech and Star Blazers type has been seen as
   unpopular, and is not shown.  Does anime have a chance in this market, or
   should it be shown in a different time period [prime time? late night?]

   I personally think first run syndication in prime time is the best bet btw.

  3] In order to deflect, if not disrupt the flow ofd the x vs. y thread, I
     have the following suggestion.  I want to know your answer to the question
     below:

     "What is the most kick-a** mecha in anime history? Why?"

    All answers posted will count. Mystical armor [Cloths etc.] count as
a separate category, and will be tabulated separately.  There are certain
restrictions.  The mecha must be able to walk on a planetary surface, and
must be controllable by one person [thus Combined robots like Voltron are not
eligible. Neither is the SDF-1 [its a SHIP, not a mecha]]

voting opens now:  My vote, B-ko's robobikini from _Project_A-ko, with an
honorable mention to the Zentraedi officers pod for sheer style.

There was recently much discussion, with several people

Deep Space Nine.
I think I spotted my first anime in-joke reference in the
Deep Space Nine episode this week! In the episode "Babel",
the alien captian who wanted to leave DS9 for fear of the virus
was named Largo, referring to a villain in BGC.

The fact that 11-13 isn't out is that I'm afraid of pirators.
We don't do scripts for money and any fan-subbers out there shouldn't use
the scripts and make profit out of it either.
Be that they do exist, those pirates, I will release the scripts on one last

Right.
On the other hand, CD-ROMs made for the Turbodou & Turbografx-16 w/CD player

The skating pair story occured in the manga before shampoo was introduced.
So the original TV episodes were done in that order too, but then they
decide to hold off on the Skating Pair so they could introduce Shampoo
sooner.
