Well said. It's unknown how the Feds survived as long as they did on their

Sorry about breaking in on your conversation but Gundam mechanics is something

Well, during the week before this season of Liquid Television premired
they were running a music video-like commercial for it, which
consisted of brief clips of all kinds of animation - there was
definitely some anime, probably Running Man, in the commercial.  So
far there's been two episodes of LTV and no anime so far.  Maybe
someone (either MTV or Streamline) equated the video commercial with
starting the new season....

  Blah, I don't really see how you could like Lisa. Too much of an old stick in
the mud. :)  My favorite was always Minnmei, but I never really realized the
irony of the whole series when I watched it first. Since I rented it (the
F.H.E. version, yuck), I realized how much of neat little tragedy is was. not
quite on par with Shakespeare, but still good...
...like most of the anime I've seen, now that I think about it: realistic (to a

You gotta seee Chapter 2 (episodes 8-13). That's where the real
story begins. (^_^)

Chapter 1 concentrated on the Federation side (except episode 4)
while Chapter 2 is devoted to the Jions.

Well, F-91 is Failure-91 after all. :-) One of the cool things about
Tomino is that he frankly admits that some of his creations are failures
(F-91, ZZ and Dunbine).

It's amazing how many people here watch real tv!  I never would have 
thought.... Anyway for a 'first look' at anime (at least from CNN's point
of view) I thought it was very well presented.  Sure it could have been
better but god knows it could have been much worse (remember the SJ Mercury
News article on AnimeCon???).  As for why they had Carl Macek speaking 
for the anime world, well I wouldn't doubt that he was behind having the 
story done, it seems like his kinda thing (gotta sell all those Nadia 
tapes) and it's easier to believe Carl was responsible than CNN would
notice something newsworthy was going on.

Oh, I'd have moved them.  (Or actually had the right number of tables set

My friend (yeah, that Rick guy) went to Japan to check out the 0083 movie, and
he brought back some program books with him.  The book has the time-line from
1990AD - to U.C. 0123 (if some San Diegan is willing to translate, it could
save you some trouble tracking down that Gundam fanzine. :)  According to this
timeline, Kou Uraki manages to do something few other MS poilets can, survive.
The guy gets court-martialed and sentenced for a year, but 3 months later 
(and for the sake of Gundam continuity) all the relevant records gets erased.
.... and then it's a happy happy joy joy ending where Kou and Nina head off
to Jupiter and starts a pre-school (okay, j/k).  Appears Sunrise will try to
squeeze in another TV series between U.C. 0084/3/10 and 0087/3/02, so Kou may
have a chance to die, afterall.

p.s. When did Gato die?  Let's see.... U.C. 0083/11/13 01:19.  Now go impress

With KOR, the characters address her as follows:

       Kyosuke: "Ayukawa..."  (her family name)
       Hikaru : "Madoka-san"  (her first name with an honorific)

       Depending on how formal you want to be determines the why
       you address someone...though Kyosuke is sometimes *too*
       polite for his own good... :-)

       As far as I know, no one (except Akane) has called her
       "Madoka-chan"...

This is Jingoro...the long-suffering cat of the Kasuga family.
With all of the torment he goes through (living with a family
of ESPers can be *very* dangerous...especially if one of them
is named Kurumi... :-)), I'm surprised that he's not totally
psychotic.

Maybe he is... :-)

This surprises you?  :-)

Sheesh, you want all posters in r.a.a to mention the creator of
something even if we just discuss their work? I can see it now:

"Gee, I just watched Super Dimension Century Orguss (char. design H.
Mikimoto, story by Studio Nue, animation by TMS) subtitled by US
Renditions (c) 1992 (voice credits...........), and I think these
Gerwalks <TM> are a really neat idea."

Gee, we'd be here 24 hours a day instead of 8... :)

How about you enter your universe and shut the door behind you? I'll
look after the key. (or should that be "Kei"? :)

Take a BREAK, man. You sound like you need it.

There is a .SEQ out there that I ported over from the amiga.  It's a character
from Ranma 1/2 dancing.  (Cute, but not too impressive).
