Gall Force

Hello:
	Mark's journey into Anime continues.  I just rented "Gall Force:
 The
Eternal Struggle"  and watched about 20-40 minutes of it.  Great space
combat sequences.  However, I have a few questions that a few of you
Anime fans might be able to answer.
	1.  Why are their only women on these ships?  What happened to
the men?
	2.  What are these Paranoids, and why are they fighting the
"Amazons
from Outer Space?"
	3.  Is it my imagination, or do the beam weapons of these ships
actualy
bend and seek there targets.  Either that, or I am mistaking them for
missiles.
	4.  Why are there so many shower scenes?  Not that I mind a good
shower
scene ;-)  I just think it's getting rather gratitous seeing these
cartoon women running around with no clothes on.
	
	Well I gotta go watch the rest of it.  See ya.

Later,
Mark
