    This is my most favorite thing ever. It's so much cooler looking then the DYRL version.
  2. Mommar
    No you don't. Get over a minor hidden prop that's been revealed to you.

    I would agree. The trick with Macross is that the show is pretty laughable by today's standards in the animation department. DYRL still looks damn good even today... unfortunately it's hard to follow. Speaking of which, Brooklynwolf touched on this (I think, not skimming it back over), the animation in Frontier looks amazing but the dogfights are so effing fast that I feel it's practically impossible to watch. Plus had really fast fights but it was clear what was going on. 90% of the scenes with fighters featured it's just blurry streak after blurry streak. I think the mecha choreography needs to be adjusted as well.

    Holy hell, has anybody seen the trailer for Final Fantasy XV? The art direction... where is it? It looks like such an awful clash of popular games. Grand Theft Blade Runner Monster Hunter. Ugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT3dyanB3pk#t=14

    And that was always my argument about why it's a bad movie for a newbie to Macross to watch. Jenius disagreed which is why I said what I said.

    Her feeling, honestly, makes tons of sense. Japanese design aesthetics are interesting/beautiful. I'll go ahead and say with zero authority that while their philosophy can be fascinating, that about 95% of their stories are unsatisfying and in many ways they will ruin their own designs (Mechs) by under-utilizing them or ignoring them in favor of less interesting ideas. However, Western audiences aren't going to appreciate most of what Japanese culture is about. I used to be an anime watching fiend in the 90's but I grew tired of the tropes (not that the West doesn't have their own tropes, you're perfectly free to be tired of those as well.) In the case of MacF, Sheryl looks f**king hot and her costumes are interesting and that whole image is played up big time. Women are going to like that and will want to look like her. Hell, if I had a GF/Wife I'd want her to doll up like Sheryl too. She'd look hot. Speaking on DYRL, bridge banter to fill in a giant plot hole like "we're lost in space, oh the Earth has been vaporized, etc" is not a good way to tell a story. And the feeling of just being dropped in really loses all agency in that regard. Unless you KNOW earth is gone and the last of humanity is on the SDF-1, none of the scenes from anywhere in the movie will have any weight and it isn't very clear. When Hikaru and Misa return to Earth, that could be anywhere. Planet Zweedoo in Omicron 9. Nobody cares. It's desolate but at a glance nobody would look at it and say, "oh crap, Earth was destroyed." It has this nice eerie vibe to the whole thing, but it loses it all because the presentation is muddy.

    Vader is quite the thunder thighs now... Also his shoulder pads are now miniature Iron Man shoulder pads from the Guardians books.

    There's an entire multiplayer mode on the 3DS version that isn't in the WiiU version. Plus levels are different, which can make proceedings feel different too.

    I think the two of you have convinced me to take the plunge on one of these.

    I see that early 2000's cover of My Boyfriend is a Pilot has become one of your favorites.

    Or those of the readership... I've always been puzzled by people who feel none of the Macross movies since Plus really hold together. I've always felt DYRL has never made a damn bit of sense unless you already saw SDFM. I would argue, of all the movies, Plus is the odd man out in that it is the ONLY one that makes sense on it's own without a bunch of additional television episodes/manga/etc filling in gaps. That being said, I think I need to read an explanation of every Macross series from Seto prior to watching. He gleaned far more from Macross 7 than I could ever hope to. It almost makes it passable, if it weren't for the fact that on principle I don't like the concept of the Protodevlin or Basara's character.
  12. Mommar
    Wow, that's really cool.
  13. Mommar
    The original Macross Monster was never able to transform. Why would the Not Monster be able to?

    Why was she stark naked in her coma? "Hey, Sheryl is in a coma... wanna strip her?"
  15. Mommar
    Alas, if only The Gambler existed in a galaxy far, far away.
  16. Mommar
    To be honest, of the two there I like the lighter color better.
  17. Mommar
    Which of the two colors is better?
  18. Mommar
    No, it's dismantled for painting.
  19. Mommar
    So this is a prior engagement over South Ataria? How long before launch of the SDF-1 is this taking place?
  20. Mommar
    Yup, good spot for those who didn't notice. There is a remarkably darker blue on a part of that plane.

    Wat's the context of these SV-51 panels in the comic? Given we only ever see thrust from that space sled thing it's possible that only way it can navigate in space is via the sled and it's used as an orbital deployment method... for whatever odd reason.
  22. Mommar
    I hadn't seen the new Batmobile yet. I was thinking something similar, kind of a mini-tumbler.
  23. Mommar
    Is that like an atmospheric re-entry pod or something? I guess The First has now established the SV-51 was space capable?
  24. Mommar
    I thought they were highlighting the impressive shrubbery sitting next to the Falcon.

    Only if they add a shockwave from EVERY ship that explodes, ever.
