Reading and reading comprehension is one issue... Another would be that people don't like to read and watch the screen at the same time. People have trouble processing information like that. One thing I might ask how close to your screen are you? Some shows flash a banner saying "Please watch at a proper distance and in a well lit area." Sometimes, sitting too close, you move your head around to capture the entire image. This is where a dub would come in. And to bring this up a level Roy...people are lazy. Not that they don't want to read or can't read, but they don't want to make the effort. They say "I don't know what their saying so I'll just listen to the dub. It's easier." People don't want to make an effort to read as they watch. They don't want to listen to the original voice and feel the tone of voice used in the original product because of the language barrier. They don't want to read and watch at the same time. They want to focus their attention on the image, i.e. they can't process the all the input. They want the quick and easy way out. Look at how many times people at almost every forum you go to have said, "Use the search button." Think about that and look at our dub vs. sub situation.

Hate to break it to all of you but this is indeed the TV-rip from the Bandai Channel. This is not the DVD. The lower right-hand corner has the BC logo.

We don't know. Yeah, that sounds about right. It would have to since there's no air....unless it has different kind of engine.

Can you PM the link to me? There is a raw floating out there right now. It's a TV-rip from the Bandai Channel. The DVD doesn't come out till 10/28 (Friday).

Well, it is a prototype. In any case, I'm not getting it. Not a fan of 1/144s. Too small....

Yes, they are fusion, but the yield is much greater than our modern tests with fusion so it's not quite fusion. It's intentionally mentioned that way by the creators. But we can leave it as fusion for clarity's sake. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...tion/index.html The reactor would explode...but the yield is really too small to be a like that of a nuke. The reactor would overheat and burn and then as stated, the pressure would be the source of the explosion.

Super? No. Armored? Yes.

Well isn't ADV lucky..... I just prefer to watch any show in the language it was originally made in, be it Japanese, Chinese, Russian, French, Indian, whatever. Dubbing takes out some of the feeling that the original acting had put in. Whether it be lost in translation or lack of skill, the original setting is what I prefer. I could care less if it was dubbed.

[cough] http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...azines_menu.htm [/cough] No.

The only reason I got the Deluxe edition was because I got an offer for it at the price of the widescreen edition off Amazon.com.

But there's no guarentee. Business-wise, M7 would be a big investment (just to cover all the bases and make sure everyone is happy, that means the licensors and the legal folk) and if the return doesn't look big, then why make the effort.

That's word from Bandai, when I last heard (around September). They were considering a 1/100 I-Justice. Andy's Murasame and Akatsuki were still on the to-do list (HG 1/144 probably). Haven't heard much more since.

Probably not....for a while. 0083 is coming out with 5.1 audio...but that's about it. Nothing to scream or shout at. Most of the models will be either Seed or Zeta till at least spring or summer 2006. Well, Zeta will be coming out and it will have some improvements from the PG version and the MG Zeta Plus. I'm sure there will be a Super Gundam Mk II to replace the old MG kit. But that might not happen until movie 3 comes.

...Which is what I did instead of wasting time with the comic menu. I didn't even bother with the comic....

Don't mind the big muscle guy who likes to walk around naked. We try to get him to put on some pants at least but well.... But yes, that ship with the 2 "space ship thingies for its arms" is indeed SDF-2 Megalord. It's not SDF-1 from DYRL?. Although I don't have my copy of Perfect Memory on me, I do remember a picture of SDF-2 in there in full detail. To answer the question.... It is not the SDF-2. SDF-2 was never completed and eventually was re-designed to be Megaroad-01. The SDF-1 from DYRL?, was indeed... the SDF-1. After 2012, SDF-1 was rebuilt and refitted to it's current look (as seen in DYRL?, M+ and MII). The ship in DYRL? is, well for most cases (minus the refit...)...100% SDF-1. So the DYRL? SDF-1 is not the SDF-2. Yes, it was planned to be another SDF. They were kinda building it during SWI. They just never got around to actually finishing it. Groundwork began on the Moon in 2003. Construction stopped somewhere and resumed back in 2012 as Megaroad-01.

You sure thread starter doesn't mean SDF-2 Megalord (later Megaroad-01)? Cuz Perfect Memory has an image of SDF-2 Megalord in there. It doesn't have the DYRL? SDF-1.

MAHQ's data is closer when it comes to Gundam and Tomino's works rather Macross (and there are issues with MAHQ and Macross). I ignore MAHQ's Macross section since we have the Compendium. And from the looks of it, even Egan Loo has had to go in there and fix some things in Wiki...

Small note Please don't cite articles from Wikipedia. A place that can be edited by anyone is bound to have issues.

This assumption is correct. It did have very little to do with the Sharon Apple Incident (although, it may have helped the 19, but utimately, other factors played in....I've gotten into the middle on this issue with Egan Loo). The BDI/BCS seem to work pretty well from my view. It was later found in the EVA/Pheyos Valk. Even if the BDI/BCS version of the YF-21 wasn't picked, the second YF-21 with conventional controls could have been presented. And then the morphing wings. Great idea but the materials would cost the military more money. Then we start nitpicking, etc... But, at the end of the day, a 19 would be cheaper and less resource-consuming than the YF-21. And ultimately, would be the choice of the UN. Although, this didn't stop the YF-21 from coming back as the YF-22/VF-22.

I say wait... The main thing is...can he do Bond? Can he deliever the character?

Yes I saw that pic. But the fact that the pod, at certain angles, doesn't look that big makes me think 4 is a more conservative number. For all we know, it may carry 8 or 12. But that's only with the HAIM-95. It could probably carry more or less depending on the missile type.

I don't know.... The AIM-200As are medium range and are fairly large already. Four missiles/pod would sound about right.

seconded. 335258[/snapback] Thirded. 335312[/snapback] Fourth 335320[/snapback] Pentupled? That aisde, some one asked what it was like in other countrys. Well here in the UK it's heading pretty much the same way, we are however fortunate that Guns are nowhere near so prevalent. None the less, politiocal correctness made corporal punishment a big no, no a while back and kids know this. There are some real spoilt brats around whose parents either don't care or are too afraid/ignorant to bring them up properly. I as a kid used to get bored and hit my sister, my mum always gave us both one hell of a smack and not always on the arse either. Then video games finally rolled into the UK and we all (me, my sis and my mum) liked making Sonic whiz around loops too much to get bored enough to hit each other. These days, my younger brother is even more of a games freak then I ever was but I keep in touch with the industry so my mum always asks me which games are suitable and which aren't. He wanted Killer 7 last month, I gave her a brief idea of what it included and she quickly decided against it. He got a Starwars game instead which he semed happy with. 335326[/snapback] Fourth....Pentupled....Ah to hell with it... Amen brother.
