This may be a very broad survey request, but please answer to the
best of your knowledge.

If someone had just given you the pick of any mecha(lloid) of each
field of elements, which would you choose for:

	Land-based (wheeled, low-elevation hovering, walking)

	Air-Based (winged, atmosphere oriented, anti-gravity)

	Water-Based (no explanation there)

	Space Based (space worthy for long periods of time [1 wk])

===============
Give me the name of the mecha classification (if possible) and the show which
it originated from.  Please send all response to:

This sounds a lot like what almost happened to Animag.  Issue "13" (now

I suppose you can't really count the computer animated part as a whole
op. It's only an 'avant-title', after all. But I agree, that is one of
the coolest thing I have seen, IMHO.  I am also a major enthusiast for
the Helldiver design. Other then Helldiver, I also like Griffon, Ingram 3,

There have been several Japanese-drawn series that appeared in
Spanish. The most I have seen were "Mazinger Z" and "Voltron, Defensor
del Universo" (I think the original Japanese title was "Golion", but
the Spanish title follows from an English dub/remix in 1984). "Ruy, el
Pequeno Cid" was the work of TMS, and I'm convinced the lip sync was
intended for a Spanish-speaking audience. (It was from reading these
credits that I learned the studio's name to be Tokyo Movie Shinsa-at
the time I was watching it, they were known as TMS Entertainemnt.)

As for the series you mention, I'm not 100% sure, but I think its
Spanish title is "El Capitan Centella". I've only seen it once or
twice, and that was years ago. 

BTW, did I mention "Conan, el Nino del Futuro?"

Whose sub did you see? The one I saw was hilarious and fit perfectly

It all depends on the original material and how well the translation

Not putting Arctic down (I am, really), but most of their stuff was

It wouldn't take much to be the best american animated series.  I felt the
animation was still very subpar, with movement animation no better than an
average say TMNT episode, only with darker scenery.  The stylization of some
of the characters are decent, but the character designs overall still seem
very flat and uninteresting.  Story was typical early american comic book
storytelling , with better drama , and in nsome cases melodrama, than nearly
anything of recent years, but IMHO, there is still ALOT more room for 
improvement.

Speaking of animation quality and money, Ren & stimpy has about a $400,000 per
episode budget, and I can barely imagine what Fox is putting per episode of
Batman, probably at least $600-700K per episode.  My question is, how 
much would say the typical OAV in a series, like 0083 or 3x3 Eyes, cost
to make?  Obviously it can't be much more, if any, than the american tv episode
budget, but is still so much superior (even the average japanese tv anime
episode is better in animation comparison). The answer, is they probably
care mor and are technically superior about what they're doing, imho.

I have to side with Alan on this one.  Sailor Moon strikes me as being in
the same vein as the Urusei Yatsura TV shows.  Animation is nothing special,
not much meat, but somehow lighthearted and fun.  I wonder if Enrique
likes the UY TV shows...  (I don't.  I like the first 4 movies and '87 OAV,
though...)

Fortunatly for you, most of these anime's are being released
domestically by various companies (In dubbed or subbed format!!.)
Which means you can go down to your local video store and request that
they order it for you.  You can even rent most of them first and see
if you want to buy them!  The only thing on your list that I don't
think is scheduled for release is Cream Lemon.  

Check out the recently posted FAQ for a list of sources.  (I can email
anyone a copy if they wish)

Grrrr.  This is starting to become a bad habit.  Didn't I just field
this less than two weeks ago?

Anybody want to put this in the FAQ until after the ep is broadcast?
(feel free to paraphrse/rework)

There will be a "Quantum Leap" ep in which Sam leaps into an animated
character, and the animation will be done by Katsuhiro Otomo of
"Akira" fame.  Sam will *not* be leaping into Akira.  If you saw clips
of "Akira" on any NBC promos during the Olympics, my guess is they
were put there for the benefit of anyone familiar with Otomo.  Unless
I hear otherwise from the "Leaper authority" on r.a.tv, the animation
will be original.  (And if you think about it makes sense.  Do you
think whatever Japanse company that owns the rights to Akira *and*
Streamline will let NBC meddle with "Akira"?  Yeah, right.)

When will it be shown?  Don't know.  Let's just say it will not be one
of the first several eps of the season.  A tentative QL schedule on
r.a.tv made no mention of it.  That schedule carries all the way
through mid-October.

Subject: Review: Robot Carnival Soundtrack (domestic)
Date: 9 Sep 92 19:20:18 GMT
Organization: SURAnet, College Park, MD, USA, NA, Earth, Milky Way

Yup, that's right, the domestic release of the Robot Carnival soundtrack
is now out on CD.  I got my copy for $15 from Compact Disc Connection.
If someone needs the order number for it, I'll go look it up when I'm
at home.  What follows is my informal review of it:

Overall, I'm pleased.  The CD is just under 70 minutes long - fairly
impressive, considering Robot Carnival was 90 minutes long - and *almost*
complete.  They have all the music (near as I can tell) from all of the
segments *except* the Tale of Two Robots one - all we get of these are
two tracks, totalling 8 minutes, which seem like "image" tracks based
upon the original music.  Too bad, since that segment had some of my
favorite instrumentals in it.  I don't know why they were omitted either;
there was still a good 5-10 minutes left on the CD, so they could've
squeezed at least some of it in.  I'm kind of hoping it's a copyright
problem, actually, rather than Macek (yes, he produced the CD) screwing
with it.  [Anyone got the original release know if the ToTR music is
on that?]

Also, the sequence of music is bizarrely arranged - Macek pulled
another Robotech, it seems.  The opening and closing music is where it
should be, namely at the beginning and the end, but everything in the
middle is jumbled up - if I remember properly, after the begining it
goes to Nightmare, then on to Deprive, then to Presence, then to the
ToTR image music, then to Cloud, then to Starlight Angel, then back to
Cloud, then back to Nightmare, then some more Cloud, then a bit from
Starlight Angel again, then the end.  Maybe I got them out of order, but
you get the idea.  What I wonder is, again, is this Macek messing with
the original or was the original jumbled up this way to?  I've got enough
other soundtracks that rearrange the music for no apparent reason to be
willing to believe the latter, but have also seen enough examples of
Macek's love of munging with things to think it could be the former.

But aside from these minor quibbles, I enjoyed it thoroughly.  I hadn't
realized that Jo Hisashi (sp?) did a lot of the music before; they always
credited some other guy as the music producer, so I assumed he was the
driving force behind.  Some of the commentary from the creators was
interesting too.

All in all, a great CD, and a hell of a lot cheaper than the import.
