  1. Actually, since you reminded me, Dengeki Hobby's 1st article on the series notes Reno Air Racing in some of its material. Inspiration for this series?
  2. Reminds me of this scene from the Simpsons. http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/53548/detail/
  3. Of course, these days, the cel shading is probably also done by CG.
  4. Considering it sounds like an open racing venue, I think it's safe to say they aren't flying stock VFs. And if they are flying stock, then I'm sure there are areas on the race track where there will be an equalizer. Hakuna is a champion racer (except in final competitions ) and all he's using is a VF-1. You could think of it like the Initial D-scenario. There's that one racer who's using an old machine. It may not have been the fastest or the newest machine on the race track, but it handled really well and when it came to those tight spots where handling trumps speed, that may the instance where it wins. That's one way to look at it.
  5. Yep. Parts are changed to fit within the time allotted.
  6. Now this is the proper meme:
  7. Zero was an OAV series. nexxstrait said TV series.
  8.

  9. Actually, we still don't have a good idea of Edgar's and Claudia's relationship. Brother, cousin, some guy who happens to have the same last name, who knows....
  10. Considering DYRL? squished 20-odd episodes into less than 2-hours, M+ Movie edition squished 4 40-minute episodes into into less than 2-hours and Movie 1 squished 8 episodes + odds-and-ends into 2 hours, don't put your hopes high. Considering the pacing of Movie 1, there's probably going to be a significant amount of reworking.
  11. Some shots courtesy of Gundam Guy http://mecha-guy.blogspot.com/2010/12/yamato-160-macross-7-vf-19-kai-fire.html Even the grey prototype of fighter looks good.
  12. New VF for the 2nd Frontier movie. It doesn't seem that they're advertising that this game will have content from the 2nd movie so we won't get to play with it till the next game...maybe.
  13. It'$ ju$t 2 movie$. There may be another one, if there i$ a demand for it. (And if you can't see the hint, you're going blind too, old man).
  14. It came out in Japan on DVD/Blu-ray right before Christmas. The rips have been out since Christmas. It's not bad. Not the best Gundam movie out there but it's definitely not the worst. It provides a good ending to the 00-series.
  15. I think someone needs subs. I'm gonna have to agree, the pacing on this movie was much better than Frontier's. Then again, 00's movie didn't try to retell 8 episodes into 2 hours. 00's actually finished the series without having to retell the entire story from the beginning.
  16. The farther human ventured, the more faults they ran into while trying to fold (they aren't folding all the time). The longer distances they traveled, the more complicated folding became because they had to calculate for traveling around fold faults.
  17. They haven't. The VF-25 and VF-27 are the only ones that use it in production. However, current versions of ISC relies on fold quartz and fold quartz can only be, currently as of 2059, be produced and refined by Vajra, so widespread deployment has yet to appear.
  18. Combination of manual controls, BDI, and AI. It's simply a powered armor that suppose to help the pilot survive a little longer than if he/she were in an escape pod or in a chair. It has a battery and chemical rockets so it will work fine in space. No. You're thinking of ISC. And the YF-21's inertia vector control system proved to be too costly and not very efficient which is why they built ISC.
  19. Michel dying shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. It's the "How is he gonna die?" that should be the question. Don't think David is gonna like that shot of Grace....
  20. Apparently someone does....Don'cha you know? Sci-fi fans have a hard time separating reality and fiction these days. Such sad state.... Yeah, well, they brought the non-clear head thingy back in Frontier. But at least they stuck the eye-tracker in there...at least they're visible in the NUNS flight suit lineart.
  21. Search from "Chrome" in this thread and you'll find our opinions of it.
  22. Oh...you haven't seen the end of it. And if you notice just the Macross elements, you've only scratched the surface cuz it has plenty from other shows. Gundam, Viper's Creed, Gurren Lagann, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Code Geass, etc. As I said earlier in this thread, it has at least the past 5-years worth of anime rolled into it and probably more. The Macross elements only fill a quarter of what Astro Plan has ripped off.
  23. Dengeki Hobby, Feb. 2011 issue.
  24. This came to my attention via another forum: Navy Launches Pilot With an Electromagnetic Shove Linear catapults any one?
