  1. I mentioned the trolling thing because the crew took a lot of pleasure in doing that with Frontier (pineapples anyone). It would be cool if it did happen that way, but I don't think they can do much with just one year of work or something. A continuation or conclusion maybe, but most likely it will be what everyone has been saying here.
  2. It worked well with the Macross Valkyries. Basically they named them after warrior women angels.
  3. Back in the 90s Robotech was shown on Cartoon Network during the Toonami block. Now that it's gone, CN can always bring it back on the Boomerang Network (the cartoon oldies channel). The other option would be sticking it with the other anime on the network really late at night (1:00 A.M. - 4:00A.M.). It might be too violent/mature or something for Disney and Nickelodeon. However, I heard it still runs on the 24 hour AnimeNetwork. Besides, they've made sure it's readily available in every format possible multiple times that it would be redundant (besides laserdisc?). It's even on itunes. How much more can they saturate the medium for Robotech?
  4. Yup, I take advantage of that all the time in California. Help from family and friends really make it worthwhile, but I usually never spend it.
  5. How about large scale recycling for money (glass, plastic, and aluminum bottles)? You get to help the environment while you're at it.
  6. Would that mean Robotech was supposed to be a mid to top-tier franchise to work on before the recent crews came then? Because from the comics, novels, and etc. after the TV series it's like they just hired anyone.
  7. They could be trolling us with all these short clips though. It could turn out to be something else entirely, but I'm not getting my hopes up for that possibility.
  8. News from the Robotech panel at Super-Con, May 16 2009. Regarding the LAMR: There is no cast set and they are still working on the script. Expect more toys with their signature quality. The rest was probably another history lesson and housekeeping for the series. Oh, and the same guests you get to see in every panel almost every year. So what's the point in going to these panels again if there is nothing to write about?
  9. Yeah, I stopped waiting for the next Zero episodes because I had other crap to worry about. By the time the final eps. were released, I was surprised because I actually forgot about it.
  10. Forget compromises, let them feel the pressure of mediocrity a little longer until the inevitable happens.
  11. http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category...6991197DKyHqgMB You need an account.
  12. In tradition of Robotech III, here's another parody that works. It's vulgar, but it works. Made by, I kid you not, Pinesalad Productions.
  13. If this was a promotion for a new Boktai game, the stormy clouds on the website would be clear and sunny by the end of the countdown. Sounds like something Kojima would pull off. S -> SUNLIGHT!!!
  14. Kind of unnecessary, but the intent was in the right place. Sometimes it's best to do nothing, let the work speak for itself and let the video poster look be an idiot by him/herself. But what do I know, things are different on the Internet.
  15. Ranka has a Segway?
  16. Here's an analysis of the Next website: http://kotaku.com/5258935/kojima-takes-cou...surd-conclusion
  17. More like they don't even have the in-house facilities to make sequels without paying a premium compared to their competitors. And at the moment they've burned enough bridges to be unable to get the "authentic" Robotech feel fans want.
  18. Did someone say Gondoms? http://kotaku.com/243329/ Unfortunately, I couldn't find Evangelion condoms too. It's still a product of fanfictions or something.
  19. Oh, I'm ridiculing the whole practice too Gubaba. EDIT: Actually, only the serious ones. Satire's okay.
  20. First-mover vs. late-mover advantages/disadvantages maybe?
  21. Give them enough time and fans will make it work. Carl Macek made the whole thing subjective since the beginning anyway, so they're just following tradition.
  22. It might be commercialism for both but with different priorities; Gundam for the mecha and Eva for the hot girls despite being a mecha show(?). It's working for both though.
  23. I don't know, but I've seen a lot of merchandising involving Asuka, Rei. and Misato ever since it started. There's probably more figures, statues, etc. for those girls than the Evas.
  24. Aww, that joke actually makes sense from Robotech now; Bird-Human Protoculture death machine -> energy phoenix thing the Regis bug queen turned into. The wings make them absolutely related.
  25. Even if Frontier beings you to everything in Macross, the more you learn about it the more likely you'll find out about Robotech somewhere down the road, just because of its loose association rather than a genuine interest in it. You know how curious fans are these days finding out everything they can about a series. I was kind of underwhelmed finding out about Robotech beyond the cartoon, and then a huge retcon happened and replaced the original BS in the expanded universe with BS that will never end.
