	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Lensman \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Lensman" is the story of young Kimball Kinnison, who we meet as he is preparing to leave his father's farm and take off with a burly half-Chewbacca/half-Han Solo character called Buskirk.
		During the battle, a "Lensman" is fatally wounded, but before he dies he passes on his "lens," which looks like a blue watch that automatically attaches itself to Kim's wrist.
		On the whole, "Lensman," rated PG for violence and profanity, is strictly for animation buffs.

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Lensman
		Star Wars, of course, was actually influenced by the original Lensman novels, but this anime makes those similarities all the more apparent.
		Lensman is among the few remaining out-of-print anime that should definitely be rereleased on DVD.
		I hope Lensman will be taken into consideration by a Western distributor in the near future.

	Lensman Information
		First Lensman was written in 1950 to act as a link between Triplanetary and Galactic Patrol and finally, in the years up to 1954, Smith revised the rest of the series to make it internally consistent with the new additions for book publication.
		Semi-Portable: The Lensman universe equivalent of a heavy machine gun: A large beam weapon designed to be carried by more than one man, projecting a beam powerful enough to overcome personal defense screens (mounted on an individual's space armor), which cannot be penetrated by DeLameters or other hand blasters.
		Sunbeam: In Second Stage Lensman, an entire solar system is converted to an ultrawave vacuum tube, with asteroids and planets as grids and plates, to focus nearly the entire output of the sun into a beam capable of melting the surface of a planet in seconds.

	Lensman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Lensman is another one of those guilty pleasures.
		We're told at the beginning that the Lensman are a group of beings who protect the Galactic Alliance, and they are facing their biggest threat from the Beskone, a mixmatch of evil alien races led by a supreme dictator.
		The Lensman tells him that the information contained within his lens--an attachment that appears to fuse to the left hand of the wearer--must be delivered to an admiral of the Alliance before their cataclysmic battle with the Beskone.

	‘Lensman’ (NR)
		"Lensman" is to animated features what Sam Raimi's "Darkman" is to horror thrillers: a return to older traditions via new technologies.
		Like "Star Wars," "Lensman" jumps onto a narrative escalator, a serial effect in which crucial events have taken place before the first frame and consequences will be felt in the inevitable sequels.
		Unfortunately, the makers of "Lensman" chose to mix high-tech computer-graphic animation with more traditional animation, and the results are equally mixed.

	The Lensman Microscope
		Around the late 1980's a new design for a portable microscope was launched to the world: The Lensman Microscope.
		I have seen a few Lensman microscopes on the secondhand market but they are still asking around the £120 mark which I still think is excessive.
		Prices like these are OK for collectors but for the serious user I would save up and purchase a better instrument such as the Swift FM-31 and Tiyoda portable or even a proper biological microscope with monocular eyepiece and a set of normal objectives and mirror.

	AAW: Lensman Quick Review
		In the year 2500 the Galactic Alliance is threatened by the menace of the Boskone empire and its tyrannical ruler Helmuth.
		Lensman is first and foremost an action film and is quite a good one at that.
		Lensman doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is--a good enjoyable space adventure.

	AAW: Lensman Review
		Fortunately Lensman manages to offer a few twists on the by now well-worn Star Wars formula and there are easily enough differences to make Lensman its own movie instead of just another Star Wars rip off (remember that the story which inspired this preceded Star Wars by about two decades).
		The audio mix in Lensman is a mixed bag, an expression I regularly use to describe anime from this period.
		Lensman has a surprisingly good dub, not brilliant but with few to no really bad voices.

	[No title]
		The LENSMAN books are six novels written by E.E. "Doc" Smith over a period of thirty years, from the '20s to the '50s.
		Newly appointed an Unattached Lensman, who wears a distinctive gray uniform and, like the US Marshals of the Wild West, is answerable to no one else in the Patrol heirarchy, he investigates strange hints that perhaps there was some other agency in charge all along.
		Twenty or so years after Second Stage Lensman, the daughters and son of Kimball Kinnison and Clarissa MacDougall, the Children of the Lens, investigate four separate lines of inquiry and learn the truth: that Ploor is but the final link in the chain leading to Eddore itself.

	Lensman - Definition, explanation
		The Lensman series was so innovative and successful at the time of its first publication that it was widely imitated, setting the themes followed by most of the space opera genre since.
		(A fourth novel, which was to have told the story of the Red Lensman, was discussed, but never completed.) Kyle was a close friend and confidant of Smith, and these novels were written in a style designed to evoke the original series (with the approval of Smith's daughter, Verna Trestrial).
		In particular, it is impossible to lie to a Lensman, and Lensmen communicate perfectly in any language to any ethnic group.

	The Dragon Lensman (Second Stage Lensman, book 1) by David A Kyle
		As The Dragon Lensman opens, the Boskonian conspiracy seems to have been vanquished with its defeat at the great Battle of Klovia, and the victorious Galactic Patrol is busy re-orienting itself to face the new challenges of policing a galaxy instead of defending it against a ruthless invader.
		Among those adjusting to the new reality is Second Stage Lensman Worsel, the legendary warrior/scientist famed for his intelligence and dedication to the fight against ignorance and evil.
		To counter this new menace, the Dragon Lensman finds himself hurtling through space to rendez-vous with the one Lensman who understands robots well enough to strategize against an inorganic uprising - the mysterious Twenty-Four of Six, whose knowledge of machines turns out to be deeper and more hard-won than even Worsel could guess.

	Z9M9Z - A Lensman Website - The Anime
		SF Shinseiki Lensman was released in Japan in 1984.

		If the Lensman books are a three inch thick rare steak, the anime is watered-down milk, adulterated with something overdone.

	LFQ1
		Originally, the "Lensman" saga was specifically designed as a 400,000-word novel, to be broken into FOUR segments.
		EES was concerned over this, even in his original outline, because he knew he needed a strong "phony ending" for a break between SSL and COTL, while the Children grew to maturity, and he couldn't come up with one that he really liked.
		The dust jacket on the first FP printing of GL mis-spelled the title as "GREY LENSMAN." The Gnome version, as is usual for that publisher, seems to have been printed on cheap paper, and the Gnome dust jacket is not a full-color reproduction of the original.

		The GURPS Lensman book has a lot of good stuff in it, and being a GURPs product, is very easy to convert to Hero.
		Actually, the biggest problem I've seen with using lensman as a campaign setting is the way the series treats women.
		Summarizing as best as I can from memory, female PCs are generally accepted to be 'the exception to the rule'; so unless your female gamer wants her character to change the fictional society she would be unencumbered as to her adventuring opportunities.

	Lensman
		The series is significant for two reasons: firstly, because it is not merely space opera, but 'the' space opera, the one that began the genre; secondly because it was the first example of a set of science fiction novels conceived as a series.
		On July 14, 1965, E. Smith gave written permission to William B. Ellern to continue the Lensman series, which led to the publishing of New Lensman in 1976.
		As the breeding program reaches its ultimate conclusion, Kimball Kinnison, the blond, blue-eyed second-stage lensman, with advanced mental powers, finally marries the most advanced product of the complementary breeding program, Clarrissa MacDougal, a beautiful, curvaceous red-haired nurse, who eventually receives her own lens.

		Lensman Kimball Kinnison was graduated Number One of his class-as a matter of fact, although he did not know it, he was Number One of his time.
		Meanwhile Helmuth had deduced that some one particular Lensman was the cause of all his set-backs; and that the Lens, a complete enigma to all Boskonians, was in some way connected with Arisia.
		But the Lensman’s screens were almost those of a battleship, his armour relatively as strong; he had at his command projectors scarcely inferior to those opposing his advance.

		When a spacecraft crashes on the farm of young Kimball Kinnison and his father, they discover its pilot is a Lensman (because of a giant lens embedded in his hand), and a member of the Galactic Patrol.
		The central focus is on Kimball (who happens to look a bit like Luke Skywalker) the farmer-turned-hero on a mission to rid the universe of all things evil, save the galaxy, and wind up with the girl in the end.
		Lensman is an older anime and it shows visually.
