    #100 will probably be something big. Either something Amuro or Char, or the main mech of a series. Chances of those MGs... 1) Low...very low. 2) Good chance, but maybe after 100 3) Good chance. Everybody loves Zeta...or AOZ.. 4) Dear god no. 5) Low, Higher than Tallgeese..but low. 6) Just X...no Falcon. 7) Good chance Unless the Zaku is due for a version 2, we just got a OYW edition. 9) Big-O...Good chance, but people went for the Zeong when they polled them. 10) Red Frame and/or Blue Frame 2nd L. No Gold frame. I'll save the rest of my forecast for later.

    I still say length is not a big an issue as you claim it to be. As Keith stated, GaoGaiGar is a good example. A 49-episode series. Vintage is only 1997/1998. Back in the day, people feared Marmalade Boy would never get licensed as it was a 76-episode series. People said it was too long and it got licensed. So length and vintage aren't really big problems. Itemizing how many times a song appears in a show doesn't make much sense. Opening and ending themes appear in every episode. Image songs can appear in every episode. That's a headache to itemize it like that. It's much easier to itemize it by individual song, not how many times a song appears in any given show. And that would probably be covered by a larger license. If I donate to some cause several times a year, I don't report on my taxes when and how much per donation I have donated, I just report the total amount donated. The music can be M7's Achillies' heel, but not as how many times any given song appears in the show, but more as how many songs there are in the show.

    I don't see length or vintage as big of a problem as much as the financial projections for the series (or are just part of the bigger picture). Naruto is a young series, but it is extremely long (200+ and still going) and yet it has made it here. Inu Yasha went on for 167 episodes and is only a little older than Naruto. Same for Sailor Moon, Pokemon, blah blah blah. The bottom line is money. How much (time and money) will they have to spend on it? Who is the intended fanbase. How large are they? What are the numbers? In the end, the costs will probably outweigh any factor and that is the bottom line of any company.

    So they're doing the whole "Lost Experience" thing too...

    Well, they are, i.e. HUMMING BIRD. M7 does use lots of music from other Macross series. Which means you will have to pay those artists/song writers royalties. And given how the Japanese Recording industry is, it's like the RIAA on drugs. Once you talk to Bandai about distribution (no sweat), then you need to talk to Victor Entertainment about music (where most of the negotiations lay). Then, once you are done there, you need to come back and talk to Manga Entertainment and AnimeTrax and or JVC (I'm not sure if their license for the music has expired yet). And once that is done, then you have to deal with HG and see if they have an issue with "Macross" in the name and various elements of SDFM that appear in M7 that they may have rights to (and you know they'll complain). If you take out the music of M7, you kinda "kill" much of the feel of the series. Unless you want to suffer a song remake ala Robotech. So sketchley's point is valid. Once you finish all the motions of just licensing the thing, you'll have spent lots of time and money per episode. At that point, it may not be economically feasible to license it, especially if the projected returns are too small. The music license is a deciding factor, but IIRC at an AX panel, it boiled down to money. Just working on the 1st few episodes would cost one most of the funds.

    We already have a thread... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=19053
  10. azrael
    Hi-Nu is actually #95. Strike Noir is #96. So we still have 3 more till the big-100

    Looks like we have a possible contender for the #100 MG spot. (BTW, it's from Evolve ../A which is coming out ) http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6438/11696853844450yr.jpg MG Destiny...possible. MG Legend, MG IJ....never.

    mmmkay....At least we aren't starting jokes about how every VF has their nose between their legs....Anyways....
  13. azrael
    That was from Nora shooting the ground, not his VF.

    1/100 Akatsuki......Did I not say it? MG Strike Noir....Talk about milking Strike....Why won't they make a MG Akatsuki???? It uses a Strike frame.... Now for the solicits...

    Macross 2036 isn't part of the canon timeline. So we can't confirm that that was the path Komillia took.

    For the more regular scenes in the movie, she wore pants, shirt and jacket. Nothing revealing. I would say form-fitting would be more appropriate than revealing clothing... I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. The meat of the article says that Production I.G. now has the rights to represent Kodansha and Masamune in any live-action production of the series. Should they find a studio, then they need a screenplay. Then a director. Then actors. Blah blah blah. Look at Evangelion's live-action movie. All we see is just concept art from WETA. And the last word out of that was back in 2005...when more sketches were put out.

    Also in the news, former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston will be guest starring in several episodes this season.

    That's a bit pricey for the Wing set. I would use DVD Price Search to find a cheaper copy. http://www.dvdpricesearch.com Which reminds me...I still need to get Wing on DVD. I have 13 VHS tapes of fansubs that need to go into the trash and DVDs are a god-send on space saving...

    Several of these questions can be posted in the newbie thread. I suggest you use it for any other quick questions. 1) That's an open ended question as Gamlin never approaches her and only sees her from the distance. The point of that scene basically says she moved on. I'll have to watch it again and see the lead up to it. 2) Because he's never really used that mode that much. 3) Yes. 4) That is his first name.

    Now before any of you go on to bash or defend RT, I would like to remind you that this topic isn't about that.
  23. azrael
    But not as a designer...."Original Picture". What ever that means...probably production/post production.

    Okay, found it. From here: http://www.un-spacy-qmtdb.com/SDF%20Macros...ss%20Index.html The link at the top for Index goes to the the one I posted above which is a 404. I'm guessing it should go here: http://www.un-spacy-qmtdb.com/M3.html or here: http://www.un-spacy-qmtdb.com/
