  1. Geez your right he really hasn't aged!? I mean i saw mikimoto he looks about right Kawamori looks like he is in his late 30's these days when really he is closer to 50.
  2. Exactly I'm not saying get terrrible stuff just get some new heads out there making waves try something with a series and add something to it that can enrich it. Take for example macross 2012 They could do story where they seach for the megaroad and see what really happened to it I mean we are left with a vague idea behind an entire colony disappearing. That right there could be a good story.
  3. I don't want to sound like that but seroiusly you'd think they could release some good manga with some different character to expand a rich universe.
  4. I guess there is no way to avoid this.... here goes. Basara isn't a character he is an aspiration. For good or bad like or has aspirations are just feelings on a subject. The reason I say this is like so many character fit this type and they do one thing they are their creator's voice to the audience on a subject they are biased they delve into the subject and that is what Kawamori likes. Look at all his creations there isn't a lot of inner monologue or any dialogue because that is just it . It is passion while good will lack a degree of substance. I 've always believe when a character is written by more than one author it can change that character for good or ill. The different stories evolve the nature add depth that was once otherwise overlooked that is why. Sherlock homes when given a look that is more modern or a context that is newer becomes less dated more updated. super man is very well known because the greatest fountain of youth is the writer keeping things new recycling telling the same stories new context. Gundam told over and over with very identical stories but with enough insight can create something new for a new viewer. I do not like Basara Nekki now but give me another writer with a little more emotional context and I will say yes.
  5. I like macross II just wish some things were not so much like the first series. the futility of war is however a an old topic it is better to see it as a reality and acknowledge the futility than to just make a statement. The relentless struggle for no reason is clear in Macross but sometimes other series capitalize this too much ( ie Macross 7) and you get some silly results. Honestly Macross 7 was good but really when your talking life and death your not murdering if you stop someone from killing someone else or your self it really becomes an issue of restraint and not buying into violence solving a problem. Really violence solves a problem and creates a new one( killing someone equals vengence) that will happen the idea i always got from macross was there is a better way when people become reasonable and have a common interest or look beyond a barrel of a gun and they might see something in each other that theycan enjoy( music love) Iknow it sounds cheesey but that was what I always thought macross was about. I feel this Macross II did it I just think it could do somethings better still I enjoyed the series.
  6. I know there are various creative differences but seriously Macross has easily a large following as other mecha series and has the interest to keep new viewers watching so why isn't there more like side stories or manga it all seems like Kawamori has a little too much control over his work. many peopl find this topic a little vague but really it isn't that unfair I mean 30 years there should be something interesting they can talk about i mean Macross zero shed some light on the UN spacy it woul have been nice to see what was happening. The world of Macross seems likean ideal society there is poverty and problems but technology and spirit seem to come thru that to me is a very positive message. The world to me is very vague as well in the first series there seemed to be a sense o sttucture but with all he time skips the society and impression of it always seemed to vary. We see other countries devastated by war and come back stronger usually by some unifying belief that things will get better by pulling together and buildingfor tomorrow. I however think that the Macross universe and some of the elements need more more writer and more information about how people live in order to explain their dreams hopes and sense of past events. All I'm really saying is there is fertile ground to cover some really interesting stories with a new generation of writers and after 30yrs and a new millnium and new year I think we can swing that.
  7. I realize the thought of an energy field existing between the smallest form of energy( example inertia) exists as a theory but we can't discount the possibility that the field may give birth to other forms of energy research. Take the fusion research being done in Japan and paris I believe it is called cold electrolysis fusion at first it was nothing more than a pipe dream then some researchers took another look and corrected some equations and material and doubled the voltage of a battery. It may take small steps but together they add up. here is a site on some progress being done cold fusion http://www.quanthomme.info/jlnlabs/cfr/html/cfrdatas.htm zero point energy http://www.calphysics.org/research.html http://users.erols.com/iri/ZPEpaper.html http://www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/technology/warp/ipspaper.html
  8. Honestly I like Eureka Seven but there were times in the middle it felt like it dragged a bit and developing character seemed a bit kinda long. Holland is cool but then he gets all gugnho an hates Renton then he accepts him( dude seemed weird they would angle it different and make it look like he was macking on a younger chick) but well the change in character makes sense it was how they got there that seemed too again preachy just do it and give clues or obvious symbolism it feels too explained at times. Again I like it but when you have these little areas of story that kinda seemed taked on it just feels like the original writer bailed because of creative differences. I s it me or is anything Shoji Kawamori done always involve The main character leaving a loved one for what ever the reason? I really think that happens a bit too much in his work. For example Aquarion, Escaflowne, Macross, and ( even if he is only losely connected) Eureka Seven. Sorry ranted a bit. Anyway liked it wished they delved a bit more into the story and i will look at the movie sounds good.
  9. Was hilarious saw the Burt reynolds episode couldn't stop laughing. I mean there are so many Smokey and the Bandit hawk and car chase movies scenes even Archer's car looks like a non Reynolds reference to Bullit. I love how they did that double take with the extra cuban hit squad van. Hahaha.
  10. I started and finished watching Tiger and Bunny actually very good.I wasn't expecting much most animes are good don't get me wrong but whenever they tackle this subject it is always very campy like go nagai. With this i had just the right amount of fun and action to keep the characters interesting to people who have seen super heroes. I don't want to give away too much but it leaves enough open and creates enough to keep you interested. I feel for Japan and even the us this kind of show reinvents some aspects of the genere . ifeel other movies have explored the concepts but this series hit upon other aspects that super heroes could be like in real life and even some of the limitations that can be imposed. It is a good watch and very fun if you just want to be entertained. the series can be modern or..... Very Retro.
  11. Here is one how a bout a zero point energy converter?
