Concerning ep. 10:

But then we get to the argument, why do I want to read subtitles when I'm watching something? Which leads us to the dub/sub debate, which isn't the point. The decline in DVD sales has been coming since the rise of digital distribution. The same happened to CDs when digital distribution bursted on the scene. The computer is coming in as a multimedia platform. What once was a tool, is now coming into the living room and a one-stop gaming machine, recording device, media player, etc. Whether or not the industry realizes this is something I can't say.

In other words, it's definitely NOT UN military, regardless of being a private or civil defense group. Still, where is the UN in all of this... The VF-11MAXL Kai's engines were taken from the VF-16.

sketchley, one thing to keep in mind is, many people don't get this. I have noted this on another forum where this discussion is going on. Some things that work for American culture doesn't work for Asian culture(s) and vice versa. Having multiple languages on media or a device is great, but it will find little use if the target consumer can't understand those other languages. Do the Japanese have any use for French, German, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian? Probably not. Many shows on the Japanese airwaves are not originally intended for these audiences. Why do I want to broadcast an Indian show to South Africans? Or a Russian show to Brazilians? Satellite TV is designed for viewers, outside of their country of origin, to watch programming in their native language and watch programming that relates to them, not for everybody to watch. Power Rangers is adapted for the US audience from its Sentai origins because the mannerisms and many other things would just fly over the kids' heads, including the Japanese dialog. In that instance, many people would just stop watching because they don't understand. Concerning the 2 industry replies: Again, they mention some blame is placed on the Japanese licensors. The amount they pay for licenses has to be offset and ventures into other distribution venues are too risky.

Sure it's a lot of money. It doesn't have to be coming from 1 corporation. It could come from a group of corporations (probably with influential people sitting on the Board). We have private security contractors out there right now. Who's to say the Macross-universe doesn't have them either.

I wonder if this is a completely non-UN funded colony....i.e. this is a completely privately funded colony. The VF-171* is a dressed-down version of the VF-17 sold to private contractors. And the VF-25 doesn't feel any better than a VF-11/VF-5000. Beyond the hip-guns, it appears to have the same armaments (gunpod, head lasers, shield) and can accept the same level of additional parts (FAST packs, Full-Armors). The transformation also doesn't appear to be terribly complex, either. It evens out the playing field, if anything for the writers.

I wonder how his Cap'n ever gets through a door. But really, I laugh at his Captain America when I see it. He brings in money, what can you say....

It's doubtful that Nadles is O Gundam.

In Robotech, Reflex weapons are Protoculture-based weapons. i.e. Part of the explosive component is based off the stuff on a wacky flower that's used as a fuel source. Anything that uses Protoculture as an energy source is considered "Reflex". In Macross: http://macross.anime.net/story/encyclopedi...apon/index.html Very powerful nukes.

Yuuichi Nakamura (Graham Acre), Aya Endo (Kinue Crossroad), Hiroshi Kamiya (Tieria Erde)...anybody else from Gundam 00 on this project?

I can be a bit forgiving since we only got half a season due to the writers' strike, but even then, a majority of the season smelled worst than a giant rotting garbage pile. Hiro's dad was comfortable with his fate. He felt that he deserved to die for his "sins".

Now, if Tieria's clothes come off...I can see the fan art now.....

It follows my idea that colony fleets are no longer under the jurisdiction of the UN military forces. Who said anything about marketing to the international community? One nice thing to see is finally we get to see ship-based anti-aircraft weapons being used by the fleet.

That because both the SV-51 and the VF-11 are both inspired by Sukhoi designs (namely the SV-51 is inspired by the Su-27). And the Lego SV-51 is found in the Shoji Kawamori Design Works book. You can also find the tracing paper over the Lego photo in the book as well.

Nah. Powers aside...he is still whiny and annoying. If they intend to keep him the same as the past 2 seasons (mmmmm must eat your brains, must be a living Pokemon, must be the greatest sociopath ever, I am "special"), then no, get rid of him or shelve him for an entire season. If I saw Magneto in every X-men book, every month, acting the same way, then it would be a very boring book. Peter should die along with Sylar. Peter had so much potential, but it was wasted this season. Hiro was "meh" this season. It would have been nice if Hiro learned how to use a sword better. Adam and him could have had a good duel, but that would have required a full season...Wasted potential....

Although, is Adam's blood subject to the same issues as with normal blood? RBCs are only kept for about 42 days and frozen plasma is only kept for about a year.

Besides shooting with a peg-leg? As for the skirt missiles....I'll just wait for the designers to stop drawing before I pick up 00 models...

Trust me, I won't worry about this in this day and age.

Please...no more end-of-the-world plots next season. I'm tired of save-the-world plots. It worked fine last season but now it's just boring.

Still need to register.

It's an IDE. Can you view anything on any discs with any data?

Well, they did say Virtue would be showing-off some hidden features. It won't be surprising if all that bulk was just armor. And 00 isn't that bad....yet. And it's not GSD bad (i.e. too much marketing, not enough story)...yet. It is somewhat Wing-like but we have yet to see where this show is going.

The YF-21 was able to do so.

Just search for Gundam 00 on Animesuki and you should see listing of everybody who's working on it. Some people like Mendoi's. Some like Nyoro's after a better translator started helping them. And no, they have not changed their minds. Season 1 will end around April with Season 2 beginning in October 2008. At this point, it is set in stone. Period. Concerning Ep. 9...

Sounds like only text was posted in the original article...oh well.
