  1. This pleases me. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-07/sword-art-online/extra-edition-to-stream-worldwide
  2. That's because it's a YF-25 Prophecy. And Macross 30 is more like an original story that intertwines different characters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=F7INFuznyuo
  3. Er, that's not MAHQ'sblog, it's mine. If it were theirs, it'd have their logo plastered all over. In any case... Well this finishes off the first cour of the series and I gotta say, despite all my lingering resentment, these episodes weren't all that bad. 'Course now that we're up to this point in the show, you can see where things are starting to unravel at least on a few points. Episode 10: Not much here. It's amusing to see fake Lacus calm the rage of the people. Also, is it just me or is that scene with the intro of the Savior carbon-copied from the Freedom intro? Episode 11: Nice to se that although Yzak is still prickly, he's matured over the years. Too bad they're not going to get to do much else over the rest of the series. Yuna is like Lynn Kaifun: I want to reach through the screen and punch him in the face. Oh Cagalli, what happened to you? Also amusing to see Andy pull a Secret Agent Man, warning the Minerva of what's up in ORB. You know what would have been cool in this series? If he and Murrue got together. Episode 12: Show of hands please for Yuna selling the Minerva out to the Alliance? I see we're all in agreement. Shinn finally gets to strut his stuff here but I still can't help but not care that much about the Impulse. It's just a slightly different looking Strike to me. By the way, what's the female opposite of emasculation? Episode 13: AKA Freedom Returns! This was a pretty cool episode but also had some odd stuff. Murrue gets to use kung-fu which is awesome, but Andy's hand gun almost looks... comical? Just looks like a giant desert eagle barrel stuck on his forearm. How does his hand work? Seems hollow. The music in this episode also sounds like it escaped from a Super Nintendo or a Sega Genesis. I liked the irony of Kira using his 1337 skillz to disable the ASSH suits but then they all self-detonate anyway. LOL. You know, I have to wonder how the reception would have been if they'd actually had the balls to kill of Lacus? Time for the wedding crashers eh? Oh and how did no one in the ORB military or government not catch wind of a MS battle on their shores? Oh and the Lunamaria panty shot? I know that was totally fanservice, but I also like to think that it demosnstrates why a REAL military would never let Luna wear that miniskirt.
  4. The official specs don't seem to indicate how many missiles the container weapon system holds. I would imagine, if for nothing else but the sake of a glorious Itano Circus, that they would stuff as many Budweiser missiles in there as possible. In the game the Chronos can pump out an insane amount of missiles for its Special Attack. Here's the write-up I did on the specs with thanks to SebastianP and ivory sniper. Based on Mr. March's format. Equipment Type: variable fighter Government: Strategic Military Services (SMS) Manufacturer: Shinsei Industry/SMS Ouroboros Branch/L.A.I.

GERWALK Mode: unknown. Mass: empty 8.10 metric tons. Structure: assumed space metal frame, SWAG energy converting armor Power Plant: two Shinsei Industry/ P&W/ RR FF-3001-FC2 Stage II thermonuclear reaction turbine engines. Propulsion: 2 x 2,110 kN (maximum thrust in space); many x P&W HMM-9 High maneuverability thrusters Thrust-to-weight ratio: ~53.12 Performance: Fighter Mode: at 10,000 m Mach 5.3+, maximum speed due to heat-resistance limit of the fuselage. Maximum Airframe Design Load: (?) Design Features: 3-mode variable transformation; delta wing; boundary layer control (BLC); capable of attaining unassisted orbital velocity over an Earth-class planet; ISC (Inertia Store Converter): Shinsei Industry Macross Frontier Arsenal / LAI Company self-development specification ISC/TO22; Fold Dimensional Resonance System; active stealth system antennae; chaff/flare/smoke discharger system; thrust reverser equipped with three-dimensional maneuvering nozzles; cockpit designed for EX-Gear equipped pilot; integrated radar (mounted in nose); linear actuators (provide faster electromagnetic transformation without contact between moving parts). - Armament - Guns: 2 x fixed Mauler RÖV-127 coaxial 12.7mm beam guns (mounted center dorsal section in Fighter/GERWALK mode, becomes head turret in Battroid mode) 1 x Howard/LAI HPB-01A Heavy Quantum Beam gun pod (mounted ventral fuselage in Fighter mode, in arm manipulator for GERWALK/Battroid modes) 1 x Ka-Bar OTEC AK/VF-M9 Assault Knife, 1.65m, super strong material reinforced by pin-point barrier system (mounted under left arm block) 1 x pin-point barrier system Bombs & Missiles: At least x2 Bifors micro-missile launchers (mounted in engine nacelles/legs; animation for this can be seen in-game) Container Weapon System x1 (micro-missile configuration) Optional Armament: CWS beam cannon x1 (not seen in-game, mentioned)
  5. episodes 5-9 of the Destiny Remaster. These episodes were actually really good. The action was great and I could see why people thought this series might have been better than SEED. Alas for the red ZAKU however for dealing with a Gundam dog in space. A few points-- 1. Is the same composer working on this series? All of a sudden the music feels like it's out of some Wagnerian opera. Not really what I like in the background as giant robits beat each other up. 2. I really liked the fragments of Junius 7 falling on Earth; very big and dramatic. 3. Shinn's constant snarking at Cagalli and her inability to snap back at him is getting tiresome. Oh look, we're back at ORB and... oh frak it's Yuna. This is where it all falls apart, isn't it? 4. For as much as I hate them, Yuna and Unato Seiran actually have some valid points. Cagalli can go MUH IDEALS all she wants but the reality is that the whole world will turn against them again if they refuse to at least act like they're against the PLANTs. I just wish it was more of a "the Seirans have the council in their pocket; I'm basically powerless," instead of a confused girl who doesn't seem to have learned thing one about politics in the last two or so years. 5. The battle at the PLANTs was pretty awesome and Dearka and Yzak get a little more screen time. I think they also added in Shiho Hahnenfuss in the Remaster. Blue Cosmos tries the 'ole Duke Nukem routine but ZAFT used Neutron Stampeder! It's SUPER EFFECTIVE!! 6. Any last shred of interest I had in Djbril as a villain has evaporated with his little temper tantrum. C'mon LOGOS, did you really think that ZAFT would have not thought up a defense for a nuclear missile attack since the last war? Especially since they, you know, INVENTED THE FRAKKING N-JAMMERS? Also karate Murrue is hot.
  6. Frontier season 2: ALTO MAKES A DAMN CHOICE.
  7. A pic I found on image search. http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/227/7/6/the_voice_that_connects_the_galaxy_by_cabulb-d6i8qg0.png
  8. Actually it amuses me to no end.
  9. And again!
  10. And technically those two have also had cameos on a shelf with the other major Gundams. I'm sure we'll be seeing them in action sometime n the future.
  11. If you say so. Math isn't my strong suit.
  12. No... apparently this is a fusion of Pokemon and Avengers. I am not amused.
  13. Also, the fifth paint scheme unlocked after a complete play through is red and black.
  14. Anyway, I'm finally going to get back into doing the remaster, which I'm sure will please/frustrate DuelGundam2099 to no end. The first four episodes weren't too bad, I'm grudgingly forced to admit. However, I still maintain that I don't like them basically doing a reverse-SEED here. The setup is almost the exact same as SEED's opening, except this time, it's ZAFT who gets jacked by the Alliance and is pursuing the Alliance ship to gets its stuff back (though why they want the ugliest Gundams this side of L5 is beyond me). And is it just me or is the Minerva's mobile suit operations and launching machinery overly complicated?
  15. Ah, I've missed the melodious sound of Renato singing random Macross Plus songs.
  16. Hey, what do you usually serve fried Hambrabi with? Pineapple salad? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
  17. Uh it DID get a new...ish production. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MKRU2OgjMlw And considering they just LOVE to put stuff out for the anniversaries, I expect we'll get something for the 35th Anniversasy... in 2017.
  18. They've got more on t in the toy thread but for now: 999978_602502839806010_242882365_n.jpg
  19. Uh, a bunch of zeta suits have already shown up like the Galbaldy Beta. We get marasai next episode. As for 00 suits, Sunrise has said they won't be featured prominently but the 1/144 Exia got a pretty good close-up in episode 1 so take that of what it's worth
