Hey, I love the movie as well, and it is one of my favorites, just the
facts
get in the way sometimes <G>. Also, I bet the movie was released to cash
in
on the facination with space due to voyager at the time, just the facts
came
in and "bit them in the ass" so to speak.

If you ignore the giant robot bits (which I like anyway), the OAV`s tend

have excellent animation with realy good stories, for example 0080 war
in
the pocket (I think thats it`s title?) or shar`s counter attack (known
to my
freinds as shaggy gets his <G>).
