Alto's personality isn't that he wants to buck authority (although, you might consider it that), but he wants to be free of restraints. He was born into the kabuki tradition, but he didn't want to do kabuki theater. He wanted to fly higher, but the dome held him back. He wanted to pull off some cool moves, but the performance producers changed the program and wanted a simpler program. Every time he wanted to do his own thing, something held him back. It bothers him a lot apparently.

It only affects those networks listed. MBS, TBS and everybody else not listed, is on normal schedule (that means the 1st airing, on MBS is back to Thursdays @ 25:25).

Of course...Milia is Zentradi. Who knows how well they age.... especially into their 60s or 70s.

If you don't want to be spoiled, don't read the thread(s). And checking torrent sites daily after the episode airs would alleviate this issue. Also reading the first post of the episode thread(s) would also alleviate the issue and I do post links to Rapidshare/Megaupload files as I see 'em for users not wanting to use Bittorrent. In fact, I just added the links for the Gattai sub of episode 1, in the episode 1 thread. Patience is a virtue. As for codec problems, we have a pseudo-Computer Support thread. Translations and sub groups? Every group is gonna do their translation a bit different from the others. I say pOtato, you say potAto. Unless you call the VF-25, "Brief 25", then we have problems. As for names, the Macross Compendium is a great place to get as close as we can get to proper name translations.

Website updates: 1) Episode 3 schedule changes: (RKK) 4/20(Sunday) 25:35 (HBC) 4/21(Monday) 26:35 (RSK) 4/21(Monday) 26:35 (RKB) 4/21(Monday) 26:40 As usual, only episode 3, only those stations listed. 2) DVD/Blu-ray....yeh we know about that. 3) Ringtones for MF are now available for Japanese cell phones. 4) Bandai Channel will begin streaming Frontier beginning 4/18. 1 episode/week. http://www.b-ch.com/ 5) You can now listen to the Macross F radio show via streaming audio. http://macrossf.com/radio/radio.html

You have no idea how much we can nit-pick just 1 episode. I mean this is talking about a Macross series in a place called Macross World. But this pales in comparison to our nitpicking of the toys (Look at the Toy section). Anyways, feel free to bring this up to the Feedback section. Let's get back to episode 2 discussion.

1) Heat? Possible. Better forgrip? Yeh. Make it look cool? Sure. It can collapse for fighter mode. 2) It looked like the knife came from the left arm. Where? Can't tell. 3) I prefer the term "sharpshooter" over sniper. And VFs are all-environment so who's to say they shouldn't have a sharpshooter.

Yeh, I've already added them to the listings.

Concerning spoilers Best thing to do if you wish to remain completely spoiler free is to not read this or similar threads, at all. I could have a permanent spoiler ban but that's even more annoying. I have no schedule on when subbers release episodes. If some people take a week to release a sub, do you expect me to hold a spoiler ban for a week? What if it takes 2, or 3 or 4 weeks. I'm not going to hold a spoiler ban that long. Lots of people here have already watched it raw or read Random Curiousity's blog for a summary. Having lots of threads is really redundant and gives the mods just more threads to watch. The best thing to do is just stick to the 1st post. I'll try to update it more often. Oh and now would be a good time to avoid this thread cuz the spoiler ban ended about an 2 hours ago.

Crap, caught the last 2 minutes. I won't spoil it for people waiting to see it tonight.

According to the Bandai press release, the run time is 82 minutes. The 2 editions of episode 1 only account for 59 minutes. So episode 2 has to be on that volume.

Hey, I'm giving the kids who want to read the thread without being spoiled 24 hours to look around. After that, it's their fault for reading our spoilers.

Obviously, some people don't notice the pinned threads...

That might be considered stachatory when she's in miclone mode....

We know. -> http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&a...st&p=579746

We know about that. Egan did see the episode when I asked him about it earlier today. We also have printed material that says "Lanca". So until otherwise, we will accept both but we will be posting under "Ranka" in the Compendium. Egan = Egan Loo, owner and operator of the Macross Compendium.

Mod mode Read the 1st post. Then read the post below it. It will be done when it's done.

Good episode. . Oh and I've talked to Egan and we're gonna accept both "Ranka" or "Lanca" until we get a definite answer. So we'll accept both like Linn Minmei/Lynn Minmay.

I can imagine that. Mikhail decides to hit on Alto-hime and Alto comes back with a fist, "I'm a guy dumbass!"

Looking at Random Curiousity's shots,

Save the translation talk for another thread please.
