Everybody, welcome the Battlestar Pegasus "Red Shirt" of the week, John Heard!

Excuse me? This thread is a discussion about liking Macross. My post is totally on topic. Your posts trying to make this some sort of "us against them" debate is what is taking it off topic. If you don't make another one of your ranting posts, you'll notice how quickly this thread goes back on topic.

Its not about it being "gay", its about the generic, feminine, Sailor Moon bad guy rejects used in macross 7. That skater isn't all that far off from the Protodeviln, outside of his constume being too tame. I watched all 50 episodes, alot of you seem to be forgetting that. I put my time in.

Look at it this way: Macross antagonist before Macross 7: Macross antagonist after Macross 7:

Maybe its just me, but Macross 7 really destroyed any interest in seeing the Supervision Army for me.

Maybe its time we moved from FTP to BitTorrent.

Well, it certainly seems that those Cylons directly exposed to humans for extended periods of time and that have formed bonds with said humans have a different agenda than the others.

I had snagged the customized GI Joe guy. I didn't know they had a Cobra version.

What happens when Cylons are exposed to human culture...

Actually, I dunno. The begining of Macross Plus depicts VF-11's in combat with Zentradi forces from one of the countless fleets still roaming the galaxy.

Just stay away from Orguss 02, it's as bad as, if not worse than Macross II. 370507[/snapback] Which still rates it higher than Macross 7.

Oh, good call, that it is!

Does Mari not fit, or do the rest of the voice actors not fit? That's the real question here.

I'd say that a fair and accurate statement.

Rick Hunter doll has a 'fro.

Pretty easily, actually... It sounds like it was recorded in my shower. The lyrics are horrid. The singing is karaoke bar bad. The BGM is weak, at best. Let's see, did I miss anything?

For a show in the mid-90's, it was inexcusable. 369486[/snapback] What mid 90's are you talking about? It's no worse than any of its contemporary series -Gundam Wing -Tekkaman Blade -Escaflowne -Irresponsible Captain Tylor just to name a few. All character models stayed spot on during the entire run of the show, which is more than can be said for most series. 369773[/snapback] Comparing it similarly poorly animated shows doesn't help your argument, Keith. Shows that would have looked bad in the 80's (Hell, Tekkaman Blade makes Anime Friend's work look good). Three words, Keith: Neon Genesis Evangelion Hell, I'd go as far to say SDC Southern Cross had more consistant animation than Macross 7. Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball, hell, shows much older than Macross 7.

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. Its the worst "professional" subtitle job I've ever seen.

I second the motion.

For a show in the mid-90's, it was inexcusable.

Wait wait... wasn't there an officially commissioned Power Bike built over a decade ago?

Yeah, my upload rates got nailed too. I'm at like 4700 down, 250 up. Makes sharing a pain.

Actually, the entire series has happened like that. They had no idea in the mini or for most of season 1 where they were taking any of this. It wasn't until season 2 that they set down the long term plot. Its covered in the blog and in the podcasts. Look at it this way: The Cylons were clearly bent on the eraditcation of the human race in the mini and season 1. Now, as season 2 is coming to a close, its been made quite clear that's not the case at all... infact, they need the humans to be able to pro-create. The continuity has gone wonky because they simply had no definite long term plans. Its a little like what we saw happen with Lucas and the prequels.

Not that Macross Plus didn't have great music, but since when are dance clubs with their shitty techno, the standard of good music? If anything, I'd be offended to hear Plus's music degraded to that. 369250[/snapback] Too good for clubs? Mom's basement has hotter women? 369254[/snapback] And plenty of Fire Bomber tunes...

Another solid episode. I never liked Billy's haircut, anyway. Next week: Crimson Tide!
