The VF-22 has both PPB and beam weapon systems. So I'm not sure what you mean by this.

I will say this about Leopard, at least most settings have stayed where they should have compared to Vista. I didn't feel like I was trying to find a needle in the haystack with Leopard compared to Vista. The time I spent configuring Leopard with settings I prefer was much less than the time I spent configuring Vista preferences.

Mohinder is does have a syringe filled with a certain fluid sitting in his bag you know....

You can't keep them all. People do move on to other things. As much as we, the fans, would want certain people on this production, I'm sure the producers would like to have certain people on board as well. But people move on to other media, other work, etc. Then you have to ask if their schedule is open for the time you need them. People like Miyatake or Itano may be called in later to overlook certain elements, but they do have other things to do BESIDES Macross.

They could always blow up Exia by the end of the season....Season 2 starts in October 2008....This season will end around April. Plenty of time to blow up a Gundam and push out a new one.

This little blurb on the Compendium also has me wondering: I wonder if SWAG is actually specific for M0 and that form of ECA doesn't apply to any other series.

The director, Seiji Mizushima, has already mentioned that the Gundams are super robots compared to everybody else's MS. They can take out armies without much of a thought. So get use to the dominating battles.

I would not compare the M7 lineart with the M+ lineart. The M7 lineart is "dumb-down" for the animators and there is no detailed lineart for the VF-11C in M7. The marks you pointed out do exist on the M7 1/144 VF-11C model.

Technically, you can swap the gunpods and I focused specifically on the fighter. But yes, you can count the gunpod as a difference.

Visually, no, there are no differences. The differences between the B and C-versions are with the electronic navigational equipment. http://macross.anime.net/mecha/united_nati...vf11/index.html

Are we talking about anime companies or fansubbers?

SWAG/ECA isn't really a retcon. Shawn mentioned this that one of the many booklets he has mentions Kawamori talked about this long before M0 came out. It was only in M0 that he put a "name to the face".

Photo printers are glorified color printers. Photo printers allow for more colors to be used and reproduced. Some HP photo printers use 6 colors instead of the standard 4. The question you should ask yourself is, do you want your pictures to print out as best as they can or is standard good enough. If you want to have your picture looking it's best, consider using photo paper instead of standard paper. The thickness and density of photo paper is designed to take large amounts of ink. On standard paper, a page full of ink would soak through.

That part of the industry problem. Look at the iTunes US store. No anime. Here is a potentially large market for selling anime but there's nothing in sight. This may be due to Apple's pricing scheme which prices many companies out of the profit zone because they have to pay huge licensing fees and placing shows on iTunes won't even cover any substantial costs. This of course, goes back to the original Japanese companies. The article mentioned this. The Japanese entertainment industry is a maze of red tape and an olde-boys club. Execs have built their entertainment empires based on a traditional method. Little work has been done with new forms of bringing shows to the masses. ONAs (Original Net Animation) have been far and few to come by. Most are still "experimental" to companies.

It's going to be a tad hard to find a printer with a LPT port..... Try the Epson Stylus All-In-One CX8400 (or the CX9400) or a Canon PIXMA MP210 All-In-One (or the MP470).

That's the whole point. The article is indirectly saying that the statement is a lie. That things aren't as rosy as the statement suggests.

I won't put too much effort into the thinking about why it's the 11th fleet. M7 was the 37th colonization fleet. And 13 Megaroads and 7 New-Macross obviously doesn't equal 37. Reposted for you viewing pleasure:

But what happens when it does come out domestically? If someone has the same thing compared to what is being pushed onto home video, why would they buy a $20 DVD with 3-4 episodes, when they already have the entire series on their hard drive that they got years earlier and already converted to DVD? But the 2 are tied together. Instant access at almost zero costs. What better combination can you get? You are getting a free lunch now. What is your time worth to you if you have to wait year before it comes? Many people aren't willing to wait. And within that group is a group not willing to pay. What is a better price that free and free right now? If I gave you a product that you wanted for free, right now, would you take it now instead waiting months or years for it to come down in price?

Old thread.... getting ....too ...big.... http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=23144

How about no "world is doomed" storylines next season? You know, even comics take breaks and do mini-arcs or one-shots. If you keep doing "epic" storylines.... it gets dull really quick.

If you want a place to start, start with the kids these days. As much as the industry needs to change with the times, kids these days live with instant access. Many of you say you'll pay for good copies. On the flip side, many kids won't. Why pay for something if the quality is going to be the same? The article says that fansubs are worthless. That's true. Because the price to download them is only time spent downloading them, what is a fansub worth? Especially if it's the same quality as what you get on a DVD? And with anime being shown on TV in HD, what is it worth to be on HD-DVDs or BluRay? Anime companies charge prices well above normal ranges because their product has been rendered worthless to the audience because of fansubs. Why spend the money when you can get it for free only hours after it appears? This goes well beyond anime. Look at the iPhone or any cellphone in the US. Why do they not come unlocked? Why do most places sell them with a plan? Because people don't want to pay. Why pay for something if one can get it cheaper? This is the mentality that the industry needs to think about. At the same time, they need to make it worth something to people. But maybe they have thought about this and yet the problem remains. So now we turn to the audience. How do you tell people to be patient in an era of instant access? How do you tell people to wait when they grow up with access to anything in the world at the touch of their fingers? How do you make something worthless, worth something? How do you tell them that the product you are selling is worth more than the same item they got for free?

This was never mentioned.

And there are also people like me who are waiting for this season to end before commenting about the series. On the subject of Episode 8.... fan service and a better Heero/Relena introduction.

Corrected. What we will probably see is something much like how Mylene remembers Minmei with how the Frontier cast remembers Basara and Fire Bomber, heros and idols of another era.
