Which was Force 5? Going back that far I'd guess G-Force or Battle of the
Planets, but with the way that show has changed names repeatedly over the
years (Hell, Saban, the group responsible for the Mighty Hermaphromorphic
Power Rangers got ahold of it and turned it into a piece of fluff called
Eagle Riders recently), who knows...

It also might have been another of Japan's 5-team shows (What are they
called, Tinner?) that I never saw.

I would LOVE to see someone (Either Sci Fi or Cartoon network, most likely)
pick up Robotech and Starblazers. that would be VERY cool...;]

Around here when i was in jr high and high school there was a show on
right after Star Blazers called Force 5. It featured 5 different
animee cartoons with a different one being showed every day. They were
called Danguard Ace, Grendizer, Spaceketeers, mmmmm damn I can't
rememder the names of the other 2 but they were cool. It's been 10
years since I saw one of these.

I thought one of them was running Robotech on Sunday mornings. It

season of Star Cruiser Yamato to english and show that as well (i've
never seen it unfortunately).

ROBOTECH! I got introduced to Anime via that show. Great storyline,
excellent story telling and a great sence of what fits. (I remember a
scene (charcter names escape me at this point) where a peite woman is
gonna blast some one with a bazooka, and she is comically, but very
realisticly (for anime, anywho) knocked back) How much does it suck that
Paliduim (AKA Power gamer central) has the RPG rights?

Saw one episode of Starblazers on tape....I want some more!
Other Japanese favourites include Ronan Warrors (Is that still on? I no
longer have cable), 3x3 Eyes (Yakamo!) some of Rama 1/2, Battle Angel,
the original Sailor Moon (if dic ever brings that back, thet'd better
not chop it to bits again!), Mai, Psykic Girl (manga, but still cool)
and the anime Street Fighter movie (MUCH better then the one with Jean-
Claude)

Ummm, to the best of my knowledge, 3. Voltron 1 was the lions, and Voltron
3 was the cars. Voltron 2 was never shown in the US as it was deemed too
violent for children. It was three large robots that combined into a huge
six armed robot.

I, sadly, never really got to see much Robotech. We lived out in teh
middle of nowhere when i was a kid and didn;t get the station that aired
Robotech very well. The few episodes I got to see were really fuzzy and
staticy...

Doesn't suck that bad, since the game came out in their infancy stage. And
as far as Power Gamer Central goes, the only OCCs I've seen Palladium put out
that I CAN'T counter with a starting, albeit munched, SR character are
Cosmo-Knights(who lose their powers if they sneeze at you and don't
apologize) and Juicers(which are beyond sadistic in SR, and if anyone
suggests converting them, DONT)... Like any system, the players determine the
game quality. Shadowrun has a habit of attracting better players is all.
And I'd STILL rather munchkin in Palladium than play AD&D.

Absolutely! And let's not forgetNinja Scroll, which is very Street
Fighter-y to my mind. Or anything else by Shirow, apart from Gunm (B.A.
Alita) - I've heard there's an anime of Appleseed - I want! Oh... and
the all time favourite - Gatchaman. :) (AKA Battle of the Planets, when
twas in its US incarnation. Japanese version's much better though.)

I didn't mention this one, but... Guess what? i remember this one as well
(Although only vaguely. It wasn't shown long around here.)

There were three giant robot driving by the three "heroes" of the story.
The main guy, Tranzor Z (I think), would shoot it's fists out.

There was also a woman, the "Princess" (I think) and a fat guy, and they
both had giant robots that looked just like them (The fat guys robot was
fat, and the woman had a "female" robot that had breasts...:)). I don;t
remember much e;se, but for some strange reason I seem to recall the female
robot firing "Breast missile" from her chest, but... That might be just a
delusion (Hey, I was in Junior HigH! The mind wanders... A LOT :)).

They did fire breast missles. It was also mixed with scenes from the Great
Maznga(sp!) cartoon. I always wanted to catch that. But it never aired.

3x3 Eyes is ok... I like the zombie kid.. Battle Angel is good too.
Wicked city is too gross.

What? More than 1-5? Damn.. it's not here either.

How's Orguss 2? Seen it?

(The teaser quote:
"War! I love it. Death, destruction and easy money... "
)
And Patlabot? It's supposed to be one of the major recent projects...

None of the networks over here send anime at all, damn them. So I
haven't seen any of the televised series.. :( I only see what tapes I
can buy from the local importers.

It's great. Lots of good fight scenes and interesting characters.
'Slightly' bloody, though.

> Or anything else by Shirow, apart from Gunm (B.A.
> Alita) - I've heard there's an anime of Appleseed - I want!

I've heard it's really bad. Dominion tank police as well, although it
has its good parts. (Anna & Uni). (The new series - Dominion (No
more conflict) is *REALLY* good..(Comic book only). I almost laughed
to death... Ghost in the Shell, too, of course, both the Anime and
Manga, is very good. I prefer the comic book, though. ("Shit it ain't
even a Tomiland. Waste of goddamn effort."... I like Batou.). Black
Magic is also by Shirow, IIRC. It's supposed to be good, but I
haven't seen it.


> Oh... and

Mhm.. never seen it. Guess I oughta.

BTW the screenplay version of Crying Freeman's cool. It's got a
*HUGE* load of mood.. unrealistic, strange, but cool... and more than
a little shadowrunnery.

I've wondered about Angel Cop, but as long as each tape lasts 25
minutes and costs 40 dollars (equivalent)... I pass.

That's about all I remember from it, that Aphrodite A (the woman's
robot) had the Breasts-O-Death(TM). Something like that will scar a man for
life..

ObSR: New wrinkle on Maria Mercurial.... ATC didn't spend that much money on
cyber just for a skelecatary, perhaps the BTLs were grooming her for an
assassin's life later. Secret weapon: Tranzor Z's Breasts-O-Death......

ObSortaSR: For those into Battletech as well, perhaps you can give me some
ideas. My friends and I are starting a Solaris Campaign, and the MechWarrior
rules aren't up to our standards. So we're using SR. No magic/metas, but
the cyber presents an interesting prospect. Any ideas on integrating things
like VCRs?

Heh... This brings up a Marvel Superhero villian I created in high School
during yet another of my "wierd" phases (I go through a LOT of those, don;t
I?:))

The character was Deathbitch, who had "breast Rockets" and a physchic power
that she used to control men... "Orgasm". She could, with the right roll,
keep any male in a state of perpetual orgasm and therefore totally helpless...

It was REALLy silly, and reminds me of something Caric might make up...;]
