I'll take a guess and say it's the age of the audience.  IMHO, KOR and
(definitely) Ranma 1/2 appeal to a younger mind set than MI.

Personally, I never was too interested in KOR (besides the music ;) and
almost all Ranma beyond the first season (which I enjoy tremendously)
bores me to tears, simply because the story doesn't move anywhere.

Meison Ikkoku is probably one of my favorite anime TV series, because it
goes somewhere (even though I havn't seen most of it ):.

Short answer: Your audience has no taste ;-)

Take a reality check, friend.  We're talking about paint on celuloid.

Basically, PM is a simulation game where you 'raise' a 10 year old girl
that has been placed in your care -- kind of like a long, drawn out
RPG character development (for computer or pencil/paper/dice).  By
having the girl do different things (go to school, go to work {how she
gets money to go to school and buy weapons, etc}) you affect her experiences
and physical and mental attributes.  At the end of the game (if I remember
correctly, you raise her for 8 years) the program tells you what kind of girl
you raised (she can become a princess, schoolteacher, housewife, bargirl,
etc).  You plan the girl's actions in three 1/3 month increments at a
time and then watch the affects.  The graphics are nice, but stationary.

As the girl ages her picture on the screen changes.  As the seasons change
the scenery in the window behind the girl changes (make sure you change the
girl's clothes to be appropriate to the season -- and being a Gainax
job, there are some hidden and not so hidden features to please the
H side of anime fans...).

The game is overall not exciting, but the graphics are nice and it is
interesting to see the results of your work (which are probably not
scientifically based....)

Put it plainly, you've been ripe off. Nikaku (as well as most Kinokuniya book

Again, Nikaku (as well as most Kinokuniya book stores) will take subscription.
But policies regarding subscription for magazines varies from store to store
so the best way to go about it is check with them.

Telephone numbers/addresses for varies book stores should be in FAQ file.

Actually, I believe the Robotech Bashing is mostly because of the person responsible for putting it up... Carl Macek.  I have seen Galaxy Express 999 dubbed, and it was done fairly decently.  However, trying to tie several different story lines to one thing is bad.  To use the same voices for some of the series is worse.  Even more, to change the actual program to make it seem like a happy ending is criminal.
 
A friend of mine has met Mr. Macek before, and talked to him straight in the face.  The problem with Macek, is that he lacks the understanding of how dubbing is okay, if you do it correctly.  Macek is a business man, not an Anime Fan.  Thus, there is the major hatred for Robotech, since Macek is making American Anime Fans think this is what the story is about.  It loses the flavor the Japanese intended and it also makes the story a little incomprehensible to us.

I have sat down at the showing of Akira in both English and the Original showing.  The english dubbed version was 'sanitized' because the people who did the dubbing disapproved of the literal translation of swear words.  IT is because the people who are doing the dubbing are considering the 'younger' audience, when Akira was meant not only the 'younger' audience, but for all people.

This is one of the things that makes Subtitling much nicer and desireable.  AnimEigo is not worried nor catering to just the 'younger' audiences like Macek is.  Anime was made for all ages to enjoy, not just the little kid behind the TV.

Macek should be aimming for the cute, little kid stuff they show on TV, not some of the decent shows like Akira, Vampire Hunter D, Nadia, or Macross.  Each of those series have people who like it, but it is ruined instantly with the repetative voice actors/actresses they use and also the 'sanitation' and 'editting' they do to it.

I have nothing against Dubbing or Robotech, however, I do have an extreme dislike to a business major whose only goal is to sell a lot, and not keep the object of people's interest the same.

I was thinking that it might be a good idea to encourage people to use archie
for searches for anime files. The only thing I can think of that would
deflect from this is if alot of the servers aren't in the archie database.

If this is the case, then perhaps it should be added to the relevant FAQ. 

For those of you that don't already know, archie is a database system for 
virtually (I think) all of the anonymous FTP sites. Big sites have the
routine availible ( type man archie to find if its on your ) or rlogin
to archie.sura.net -l archie (if it isn't). The powers that be perfer if you
use the utility on your home machine if it is availible (To cut down
on the traffic to that node and its load.) Be sure to nice it on systems
with load problems. arcghie does tend to be a CPU hog (but not a bad one).
(It takes on the order of minutes to complete a search)

This might help to cut down on the news group traffic.

I don't know whether B-ko was supposed to be a lesbian.  Perhaps she

I think you would not be taking that view if you LIVED on the Earth

Oh come on! I really expected more of a rebuttal than that. What's this about a
fight? What fight? There's big difference between a debate and a fight. You
were the one who went and paint a picture that I'm some sort of Nazi. I've been

This is getting outta hand. The discussion of C.C.A is turning into a war.
r.a.anime is not a war base so let's not turn it into one. I'd be happy to 
listen to your side if you'd care to drop me mail.
 
As for the purpose of a debate isn't that obvious? We disagree on certain 
points in a fictional story. There's no 'reality check' required for debatting
on a fictional story. That's what makes Gundam great.
