Date: Sun Jan 10 18:26:53 1993 Akira is the guy who was vivisectioned and frozen in the huge golf ball that gets vomited from underneath the stadium in the latter part of the movie. the blue guys were previous experiments in exploiting and extending human psychokinetic power. wrinkly because they've been around since the war of 20+ years since. as far as i can tell, the aura machine is supposed to give a visual representation of the potential of a particular being to have wierdo psycho powers.

Marvel's (scuze me, Epic's) release of it was far too flaming expensive! Comparing the comic to the movie is like comparing any good book to a movie made of it.

Marvel, Dark Horse, mainly. I had to quit right about the time spawn #3 from iMAGE came out... The new Spawns are done by different writers, but McFarlane art. Frank Miller is doing a story, and so is Alan Moore... dear god, those are going to be great... I love R&S, but nobody watches it here. and they won't let me, either.. pricks. Akira was too cool. I thought I was tripping, and I've never done drugs.. I think you'd have to watch it 3 of 4 times to completely get the story down, without readind the books... as for Moebius, Dark Horse has a book by him out, I'm pretty sure... and he did my favorite Punisher poster... it's fantastic...

To compare Akira to anything but the finest is intolerable. Some of the best animation I have ever seen is in there. I have the English version and used to have the Subtitled version.

All you need is to figure out the basics (figure out how a problem is approached). once you have done this read cinefex and american animator and animation magazine and cinefantastiqe and pixel visions and b-club and computer graphics world and any other lame ass mags. No mag will have cool in depth stuff that is exactly what you want, but you find you can always get info on techniques etc just by referencing the junk to the somewhat lame basics books. ITs all real easy anyway, no new technologies have really come to change things that a interneter cant get. And the onl obvious downside is that ppl do this junk for money, and aren't to hip to sharing stuff. Look at publishings of ACM siggraph for the absolute coolest computer animation and graphics stuff. From faisal@yabbs Wed Mar 31 13:18:39 1993 From: faisal@yabbs To: all@yabbs Subject: Zeta Gundam?

Bubble Gum Crisis is great, I've seen most of them. Bubble Gum Crash has degenerated from what I've heard. What I've seen of Nadia has impressed the hell out of me. I havent seen Venus Wars yet, but I intend to. The comic of Akira is available in paperback collections. Each of them is 15$ and contains only part of the story. I don't know why Marvel had to color Akira, since it makes it more expensive, which is contrary to the spirit of manga. Then again, that's probably the idea.

Disney right now seems to be trying to blend computer animation into their work, but the super-high resolution rendered scenes don't mesh with the drawing styles of the animators. In addition, the animation is often very flat, almost reminiscent of Hanna Barbara features, though with a lot more detail. In Japanese animation, or at least in H. Miyazaki's movies, the animation is done as if he were filming a live action movie, using basic cinematic techniques that are often ignored in Disney (and most American) animation. Check out some of the panning shots in Totoro or Porco Rosso. He does these neat flying scenes where you can see the depth of field and the action in it. JasonLee From proteus@yabbs Thu Feb 3 21:22:17 1994 From: proteus@yabbs To: JasonLee@yabbs Subject: re: Disney vs. Anime Date: Thu Feb 3 21:22:17 1994 the disney character designs are rather simplistic, i agree, but once you look at the fluidity of the motion of disney stuff you may change your opinion. disney is a big, rich company. it can afford to hire lots of animators to make their movies fluid. the effect is still childish- but extravagantly childish, if that makes any sense. most anime i've seen look better, but characters dont move with the same fluidity. for instance, there is usually a -lot- of shading in anime, while much of the american stuff has maybe 16 colors.. the art itself (isn't anime supposed to be an art form?) may be much more impressive than the american character designs, but many japanese studios use lots of cheats to cut down on the number of cells they draw. like, they don't paint a cell every frame.. (i.e. 15 fps instead of the "full" 30 fps). i was talking about the quality of animation. the quality of the art is purely subjective to the individual. gee, i still don 't make any sense.. From JasonLee@yabbs Thu Feb 3 21:40:23 1994 From: JasonLee@yabbs To: proteus@yabbs Subject: re: Disney vs. Anime Date: Thu Feb 3 21:40:23 1994 No, you do make sense. I think we haven't correctly defined what we are comparing. If we compare Disney movies to Anime movies, the comparison is valid. However, most people have seen only Anime tv shows or OVA series, which have cheaper animation. Look at a show like Ranma 1/2, of which there are 200+ episodes. In the 4 of them I've seen, the animation was very simple, and often boring (the humor of the show makes up for its lack of artistic design). This is also true (except the humor bit) about american cartoon shows. Beavis n Butthead is a prime example. The work on the show is minimal (as it should be). Unfortunately, the animation on that particular show is improving (much to creator Mike Judge's dismay). What I'm trying to get at is that American Studios often use the same style through all formats of animation (tv, movie, etc.) while the Japanese adapt the style to the medium on which it will be presented. IMHO, that's the way to go.

I saw one in a video store once, but it was checked out and I can't remember where. I also saw some Ultraman action figures. Is there an actual cartoon series now???? The old shows were awesome. I still love Godzilla movies even now after seeing them as an adult so I have no doubt that the old episodes are still awesome. Oh, by the way, I just got done reading the book: "The Death and Life of Superman". A definate must, the comic series was awesome to actually see the final battle, but the book was incredible! The new 3 comic book series on him going out to find Doomsday's body is pretty damn good too, but kind of rushed. Oh well, what modern comic or cartoon doesn't rush too fast? :) Covenant, grateful to his old roomate for letting him read 'collectibles' :) From mobiusad@yabbs Wed Jul 6 02:55:21 1994 From: mobiusad@yabbs To: Natalie@yabbs Subject: Re:Transformers Gen 2 Date: Wed Jul 6 02:55:21 1994 God, I HATE that show, all it is is the old shows with some hi-techcomputer animation that is actually ANNOYING between ANY and ALL camera angle changes. -/\/\obius (AD) From Badger01@yabbs Wed Jul 6 08:50:47 1994 From: Badger01@yabbs To: Patton@yabbs Subject: re: New Message Sub Date: Wed Jul 6 08:50:47 1994 Yes, I do....It was also a speed racer rip-off...

It was a semi-cool Japanimation series that had different Shogun Warriors (I remember Gaiking and Space Dragon) and in this area it showed Right after Star Blazers, the American Version of Spaceship Yamato.

Speed buggy was actually the name of the car , wasn't it? You listed some ones that I didn't remember like G-Force and Mytor. I don't remember those at all, if you could elaborate for me. As for Thundar, that was a great cartoon. Freaked me out when I was little to see the Statue of Liberty thrown on its side and Washington DC turned into a slave plantation ruled by evil wizards. What was the name of his nemesis, the wizard with the two faces. One was nice and cheery and the other a sadistic freak? If anyone else can answer, I would appreciate it. -Patton From Patton@yabbs Thu Jul 7 09:23:41 1994 From: Patton@yabbs To: Natalie@yabbs Subject: re: New Message Sub Date: Thu Jul 7 09:23:41 1994 Natalie- Please excuse the following as it is not a spewing of right wing garbage. And this is not an Andy Rooney Sketch either. I once did a paper for a writing class about just what was the collective called the smurfs. There is an unknown number of smurfs living happily in an agrarian utopia each taking according to their need, but giving according to his ability. There is no greed (except for Greedy smurf who was a fringe element at best), hate (I even remember them helping out Gargomele a few times), or lust. Everyone dressed the same (excpet for a few smurfs who were known by the task which they performed 'farmer smurf' 'hand smurf', etc), lived; in the same dwellings. And they were all utterly obedient to Papa Smurf who ruled without dissention. Let's face it we are talking Communist Utopia here folks. Let's get out the Manifesto playbook and run in play by play. Papa was the enlightened ruler who never asked the majority what they thought. And why did he alone get to wear a different colored hat and pantaloons? Notice how they crushed the intellgentsia and belittled reason no matter the circumstance (Brainy getting beaten repeatedly). Book burnings anyone. And there was no need for money, because everyone's needs were met in their entirety without asking. I can only hope that one d I can see one day the far-right coming out with a cartoon called Smurfs II where the smurfs idyllic lives are crushed by EuroDisney tearing down their forest home to put in the new "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" Ride. The smurfs woul play upon the '90 revolts in Eastern Europe, overthrow Papa, and move to a market econo y coupled with democracy. I apologize Natalie, I didn't sleep much last night. -Patton From NJDEVIL@yabbs Fri Jul 8 13:36:20 1994 From: NJDEVIL@yabbs To: Jeremiah@yabbs Subject: re: D@D Date: Fri Jul 8 13:36:20 1994 True, Tiamat was far too wimpy!
