Nah. Since both the VF-1J and Eureka 7 mecha are designed by Kawamori-san, I think it would be okay.

True, but if you can afford to own one of those supercars, you can afford to insure them as well.

Maybe they keep hiring him because no other directors want the job? Thankfully, I've never seen a Uwe Boll movie!

I guess Hikuro isn't aware that Infinitis are badged as Nissans in Japan..... Although I do hear that they're supposedly going to start using the Inifiniti name sometime in the very near future. As far as Nissan goes in the US, if it bears the Nissan name (except the 350ZX), the car is a North American model these days and was made either in the US or Mexico. If you want a model that's sold in both the US and Japan, buy an Infiniti. Of course, if I'm wrong, please by all means correct me

I remember fondly, the large Eagle toy from Matyel that I used to have when I was a kid.

That would be HBT.

1st Border is right. I just recently watched Southern Cross and didn't see a single scene with the Auroran as a helicopter.

Starship Operators also had some interesting ship-to-ship fighting, That series, too, used beyond visual range fighting. I don't know if you count 2 vs 3 as a fleet battle, though.

Yes, Gall Force certainly does count. There was plenty of fleet battles throughout the series.

From what I understand, Mitsubishi has always had problems. In fact, I've heard people from both sides of the Pacific that say that Mitsubishi is the worst of the Japanese car manufacturers.

I noticed how this discussion of GS/GSD Mobile Armors vs. UC MAs seems to omit some of the very cheesy MA designs for the original MS Gundam series. Let's face it, both Gundam universes had their fair share of bad designs. Everytime I see the Zakrello, I still think, wtf were they thinking when they designed that?!!

Whatever happened to Top Gear, anyway? Is it still on Discovery Channel in some ridiculous time slot, or did they do away with it completely?

If it counts, I'd say that Zeorymer is my favorite Super Robot.

As I understand it, a Japanese TV season is actually 13 weeks long. This does match with what JB0 said. Going by this, most Gindam shows are techinically 4 seasons long. This also matches with most of the live-action Japanese shows which tend to be about 12 episodes long.

How many miles did this Accord have on it? I have a 1996 Nissan Sentra that just hit 200,000 miles. Despite the fact that I drive it fairly hard, it still has the OEM clutch.

That is an awesome piece of work! I'm really impressed that most if not all the missiles seem to be removanle.

Wow, drifand, it's been many a year since I've seen that Gundam toy! One of my friends had one, but I don't know if it's still around or not.

Hell, if you want to a model of the 1953 version, it probably wouldn't be too hard to sculpt your own. The Martian's machines are a very simple design.

The Fusion's front end reminded me a lot of the new Maxima's front.

That's because Hondas are nowhere near as popular in Japan as they are in the US. In the three trips that I've been to Japan, I saw a lot less Hondas than I see here at home. I've been semi-seriously looking for 1995-98 (preferably 98) around my area and have been having very little lucj around where I live (NJ). When I do see them, they're usually ones with automatic transmissions (ugh).

phoenix01, I can't believe that Tori Spelling and Alicia Silverstone aren't in your list of worst actresses. Those two should be tied for first place!

My favorite Macross moment was watching DYRL for the very first time. That was also the first time that I saw anything anime in the original Japanese.

I'm just happy to see that Mercedes-Benz are moving away from those god-awful round headlights!

The song was Twilight by Electric Light Orchestra. It's off their album, Time.

Not to mention that the best cars Porsche and Ferrari produce are ones that are made in extremely low quantities and have price tags that only the rich can afford.
