Again, wth? Lets just dump the baby on some random ship? A weak idea and rather dangerous decision made by Stands with Fists it'll probably come back and bite her in the ass later. I see another assasination by Sharon in the future 377214[/snapback] According to the podcasts, they may revisit that storyline at some point, so it's not over yet. But for the sake of this season, it's done.

From Gunota: (Spoilers, highlight to read, PARTIAL ARTICLE ONLY)

Yes, but those 2 take place during and after the series, respectively. Something to also think about is, take the major highlights from the series and then work from there. Now, you can introduce the Varauta army and Protodevlin as unknowns, or, bypass that and jump straight in. If we allow some minor changes, like the Escaflowne movie, then let's see. I'll just name what I thought were the important events. 1) Introduction of Fire Bomber. 2) Seperation of City 7. There's a bit of character development in this 10-episode arc, so it might be nice to include it, or at least the character development from this arc. 3) Sound Force. Now, where in their development is up in the air and something you can figure. Another idea from this is character development. Mylene begins to understand why Basara sings when she's out there now. Gamlin also begins to understand why they are needed and since Mylene is out there now, he sees what the power of song is doing. 4) Planet Rax. This is key for the Protodevlin origin and from some of them, to have a change of heart (ie. the Spiritia Farm may not be the best idea). You could move this to somewhere else, say when City 7 got seperated, but the key is, we got to know who the Protodevlin are. 5) Battle in Varauta System. Operation Stargazer can be omitted because it doesn't do much or you can rework it in, but in a 2-hour setting, I would leave it out. And we don't need to revisit a planet twice in 1 movie. And you can't forget the finale. These are what I would consider the necessary things to pull out of the TV series. How you want to play with it, is up to you. Retell the story, but under a different perspective, like Escaflowne.

This topic hasn't been done so I'll let it go..for now. But DYRL-ing M7....let me ask this, what would you cut out/add-in to make it into a 2-hour mark? Just to note, DYRL? cut out a bit and dropped the audience around Saturn and went from there, plus or minus. The producers dropped the post SWI-life. They squeezed Minmay into the cockpit with Hikaru at the same time the Zentradi captured their first humans. But they kept the same set of themes. So that leads back to the question, how would you rearrange the 49-episode M7 series into a 2-hour movie, and keep all the essential themes, elements, etc.

Please, no more talk of the OS wars....That's an even bigger headache.

Yeh, I already answered that call. *Looks at preorder*

Redundant thread.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/060303f.php Talk about the things companies will do to get their stuff in a movie....

Then that borders on variation/updating. With the redesign of the VF-1 in DYRL?, that redesign was classified as a block upgrade, which is noted in the Compendium. The VT-1, which also made it's appearence is a redesign of the VF-1 and it's later updated version, the VT-1C (MD7) is also a redesign of the VF-1. There's also the VEER-1, the VE-1... So it looks like you want more variations of the VF-1, not a redesign.

So when you say redesign, you would like to see small features be redesigned....like the cockpit layout and the hands on the VF-1 in DYRL?. You want the VF-1 to be given some extra/updated detailing?

Why? Because they're fictional planes.

Technically, there shouldn't be one since we have the board set for unlimited space, but the problem might be with the coding of the forums/PHP limitations. Best to just keep it under 2MBs of attachments.

Sorry, I don't watch. But I read the daily strip though.

Ummmm, no. Is it me or does Zack look funny/old/wrong in those pics? The actor who plays him doesn't look that old...Maybe it's that little piece of green hair on his forehead....

Depends. They could get international rights or they could not. It's one of those things that is spelled out in the contracts. It might be cheaper and less hassle getting it from the US than directly from the Japanese. If they get it from the Japanese, they would have to go through all the mess that US companies go through. It might not be profitable at that point. And since most US companies get most of what is needed, why itemize what you want and just get a packaged deal.

Something you might want to consider is that Mr. Kawamori has redesigned his VF-1. The VF-0 is technically, a redesign of the VF-1. The SW-XA1 is a redesign of the VF-1 as well (given a stealth nature). Ummmm.....not quite. (Spoilers)

Post some pics then if you have! 375164[/snapback] 375190[/snapback] AHHHHHH, I dont want to burst your bubble but is'nt she a bit, I don't know, flat chested? 375194[/snapback] At least she's cute....

ODEX probably gets a bulk licensing agreement from US companies. Licensing anime ranges from the hundred thousand mark to the millions. And it depends on a lot of things. Popularity, demographics, sub-licensing, etc. US companies try to go for profitable series. If a series is not deemed profitable, then most companies will avoid it like a plague. Let's pick on "Kodoma no Omocha". For the longest time, that series was not licensed. It was popular, so that means that Japanese companies have an advantage in requesting how much they want for the license. The series ran for 102 episodes. That's production costs there. At 4-5 episodes/DVD that's still 20+ DVDs to produce for the series domestically. That really cuts into costs. But eventually, it got released but only after years of waiting, almost 10 years.

For short questions, please use the newbie thread next time. Thank you, come again.

mmmmmkay......

And the point of this thread is.....????

Moved to proper section. Now on to the question of why is anybody even thinking of doing a live action RT...

I liked the Brosnan Bond. That charm is what I liked. But sadly the movies they dropped him in just didn't work. We'll see what Craig can do. If Craig does a good job, we can all laugh those people who said otherwise.
