"Rinne no LAGRANGE": Coming in Jan 2012.
soul.assassin replied to Renato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Never seen that, but yeah, maybe Lagrange isn't the first to have a confident protag newbie mech pilot, but one Shinji Ikari (and before that, Amuro Ray) is enough for me in this lifetime; time for something different. -
That was clever.

"Rinne no LAGRANGE": Coming in Jan 2012.
soul.assassin replied to Renato's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Despite that Lagrange introduces nothing new, innovative, or something earthshaking, the general feeling I had after watching was of... total joy. I mean, from start to end it was pretty entertaining. Sure, there's some service, but it's given out in proper amounts. Megu really shines on both the OP and ED, they're positive in both outlook and tone (heck, it's like listening to Ranka once again with a "new" album but double the energy!). Of course there will be some naysayers who say the show isn't enough compared to established brands/franchises, but then after a lifetime of seeing several pilots with emotional problems with dysfunctional backgrounds, I find it rather refreshing there's a heroine with a nice body, a genki/positive attitude despite being a bit clumsy, Gonna admit I'm more interested in the characters beneath the mech. Lagrange is one of my favorites for this season. BTW, for US viewers, you can access Lagrange at Viz. -
AKIRA LIVE ACTION MOVIE = Life Support?
soul.assassin replied to Macross007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Even when that proposed movie was first announced, I wasn't quite interested, having seen too many cartoon-to-movie/anime-to-movie adaptations fall flat or wind up dead before actual shooting could commence. -
My sincerest condolences, bro. But we're still behind you while keeping this initiative alive.

Macross Lineart and Profile Color Scheme Art, Round II
soul.assassin replied to Talos's topic in Fan Works
First VF-25 NUNS variant with USAF-style markings and a RAM-gray paintjob, a marked improvement to the earlier one-off profile of a SEAL-style SMS spec-ops unit. I thought of it while still brainstorming for a fanfic, in which (post-Vajra War) NUNS created a new elite special operations unit (patterned after the "Diamond Force") as a counterpart (and potential rival) to the famous and colorful Skull and Pixie Teams, but in response SMS Frontier is about to add a new Team with selected members gathered from other SMS units deployed in migration fleets. -

Interview Questions for May'n for AFA 2011

Some other site has already posted an interview with Chiwa Saitou and a small chat with Kalafina, but this I'm still really waiting for. -
Macross Lineart and Profile Color Scheme Art, Round II
soul.assassin replied to Talos's topic in Fan Works
Extraordinary work you got in there, Rafe. From the look of it, I think you have a very extensive background in graphic work, and I'm sure you used some techniques and references from illustrations of IRL aircraft art. I'm totally impressed. That's gonna be a case of Tecate! -
@Banshee: the whole unusual outfit kind of reminds me as if coming from a great classic war TV show (had experience with Dirty Dozen and ol' Combat, although I've yet to see Baa Baa Black Sheep and Hogan's Heroes), especially some potentially colorful characters. Sounds very promising!

The Newbie and Short Questions thread
soul.assassin replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Not really good if the single nuke engine blows out in deep space, which is why it's practical for all naval aviation aircraft to have two engines (with the other to serve as a spare at 50% max power should either one fails), and thus we're always seeing VFs with twin engines.- 7070 replies

Should've done this before, but here's my remix of the medley, and my take on Diamond Crevasse.

Macross in the weirdest places
soul.assassin replied to yellowlightman's topic in Movies and TV Series
No prob, I can glass (read: Halo-style erase) the whole map and rebuild, what with gazilllion simoleons to spare. It took me half a day to create the terrain map from the Chronicles article and then made some readjustments using the freeware SC3K terrain editor. If I could get a hold of Simcity 4 and the Rush Hour expansion pack, it would be even nicer. -

Island One recreated in Simcity 3000: EDIT: Island One - revised... -
You know, with that kind of immense creative power it's possible to go further by creating master molds from out of the fixed prototypes, and from there manufacture some limited-run add-on kits and even replacement parts that would be otherwise hard to find. In other words, everything is possible.

The Newbie and Short Questions thread
soul.assassin replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
I don't know if this is really a Macross movie or a continuity, but I remember watching this on FEN (Far East Network PI, now called AFN, back when the US military bases were present in the Philippines as late as 1991) as a schoolkid, when this film begins with a wedding ceremony, and I could readily recognize Hikaru and Misa right there. Is this DYRL?- 7070 replies

Interview Questions for May'n for AFA 2011
soul.assassin replied to vanpang's topic in Movies and TV Series
Today from drmchsr0: From @tangerinepops: http://twitpic.com/7cxm6u -
During research for the MF fic, I've been playing much of The Supremes while reading up on anything about the AKB girls (the AKB49 manga is a very good place to start, to appreciate how things work out from behind the scenes), and then I recalled episodes of China Beach and Tour of Duty, and got a few pretty good ideas (plot bunnies) from there. Damn, I could imagine the OP would look like as I'm playing it in my head.
