    Yep. More or less. B is just a 2-seater A.

    Mostly this, though. If you go around the Gunplas, you'll notice a trend. Unique models get models fairly quickly. Mass-produced heroes are usually an after-thought. Heroes and Villians get all the attention and are usually made first. If there is demand, then the mass-produced heroes get a model. Only within the past few years was there an HGUC GM II and GM III, yet the designs are fairly old. Among the MGs, only the original GM, its letter variants, and the Nemo have received some treatment. The GM II, GM III, and Jegan are nowhere to be seen. There's no market for the grunt.

    On paper, yes. Other than that? No. Ex. 1: Millia in her old VF-1 kicked more ass than Gamlin in Millia's precious VF-1. Ex. 2: Hakuna Aoba uses a VF-1 (however heavily modified) in Vanquish races while many others use much more advanced VFs with similar types of modifications and yet he still is able to win a race.

    It could help, but it might be too late to try would probably be a more appropriate way of saying it. The Japanese licensors are fairly notorious for their TOS. But that's because foreign markets are small and they want to make a profit out of the show. Merchandising isn't as big outside of Japan so there isn't much coming in except from video sales. Macross is popular, but with what's been happening lately, it might not be popular enough to make it worthwhile venture.

    You'll probably want to look at a minimum 15" with 4GB of RAM and a discrete video card. If we're talking heavy Photoshopping (i.e. layers upon layers upon layers of editing), minimum of a high end Core i3 or equivalent AMD CPU will do and a discrete vid card. I don't think you can keep it under $500. Under a $1000 is doable. If we're talking removing red-eye or adding texts or changing color on images, I'm sure a Core i3 with integrated video will do and you could do it for $500 or less and invest in a good 23"+ monitor.

    Even watching it once, it's pretty hard to have missed that scene.

    I have to agree with the statements. I see no apathy toward the genre. More like, if you are serving turd from any genre, don't expect people to eat it. Smallville was on for a good 10 years. It made itself presentable to a very wide audience. It did very good work with its characters and used good stories. Inception performed great at the box office using a good story and good characters. So for the question of is it due in part to apathy towards sci-fi these days, I'm gonna say the answer is a definite "No". If you have a good story and good characters, then people will watch it, regardless of what genre it is. If any kind of Robotech-revival/reimaging/thingy happened, people would watch it if it presented itself well. It's not doing that now and probably won't until someone else steps in.

    What do you mean?

    My thoughts exactly. 2012 isn't looking too good for anime, in general. If the Rowbowtech/Macross-line wasn't returning decent numbers and if they couldn't move they guy to another unit, you don't have much of a choice but to layoff. Simple business practice.

    'Blood & Chrome' May Not Premiere Until 2013

    It's not really Season 2..."Second Generation" is more appropriate.

    And it must be 3 hours long. And about your ban. Disecting every little detail...down to the pixel.

    If you're talking about Millais, this month's magazine scans would say otherwise... Regarding this week's episode,

    I'm gonna have to agree with the Sith Lord here. It's nice of them to give us extras like the pachinko game footage, but will Blu-Ray really make this 30-year old cartoon look any better? They'll be upscaling video. The sound is still mono. And as EXO said, I don't know if I wanna see some of those scenes in HD.

    In the words of Kawamori, "God knows." That's his story. That's my story. And we're sticking to it.

    You can try but the there has been some issues noted with animated GIFs and the forum software.

    ‘Akira’ Not Dead Yet, Despite Vancouver Office Closing And Test Option Expirations With Lead Actors (Deadline) So WB wanted to make alterations???

    For those who are reacting to the price, I'll just leave these:
  20. azrael
    Or they can just shelf it till they're willing to spend more money. $60-70M? That sounds like WB doesn't have a lot of faith in this production to begin with. Yes, they could make a movie on that budget, but yeah, doesn't sound like they want to invest heavily. Not saying that's a bad thing cuz the probability of failure is probably gonna be high anyways, but who knows...maybe WB is actually listening to the Interwebs. Of course, WB is reviewing the budgets of 2 other movies (Arthur and Lancelot and Paradise Lost). Maybe the realized they should cut back on crap movies????
  21. azrael
    Ummm...it's been on Hulu forever?
