Shinn did get some development. We got to see became a tool of Rey and Dullindal. Rey keeps him on a short leash. All you have to do is keep Rey occupied (With Kira and Neo) and Athrun can smack some sense into Shinn.

Amazing thing Photoshop.... Kira already broadcasted what was going to happen. And what makes you think those captains would believe Murrue? They don't know her. Why should they trust her? Oh, Mu la Flaga said so. So what? Some ace says we should all run? Are you sure he wasn't trying to save his own ass? And hell, you've just been used as a decoy without your knowledge. You're alone, with no backup and no place to run to. The defenses were falling, it was everybody for themselves. Does he even know they were killed? Heck, he just found out he's really a guy named Mu la Flaga whom he doesn't know. His world at this moment is messed up.

Seriously....you kids need to learn how to watch long series. I find this to be a very bad trend in viewers these days. Thanks to 20-some episode seasons and all that stuff, you are use to everything happening at once. I've watched a lot of long series (most of them being romatic comedies) and if you think M7 is bad, watch Maison Ikoku. It's virtually 70 episodes of the same thing happening every episode. I find lots of series to be too short these days and too spread out. M7 goes at a good pace. Sure it has low spots but what long series doesn't. Maybe I'm more patient and older. But even when I did watch it all those years ago, I never found it going too slow. Ummm....Mylene does sing....and they do duets...Most people are use to a female vocal in Macross, because that's what been used the most. Yoshiki Fukuyama is actually good, and I never had a problem with it. Although, I have been exposed to more male Japanese vocals so I don't find it to be a problem.

There needs to be someone who can rally the people against Dullindal on Earth. Might as well be Cagalli. Mu/Neo with Akatsuki. Cool. Legend...eat your heart out. Cagalli won't need it if she's gonna play the politics game. Mu/Neo needs a mech anyways. I don't think we'll be seeing to much of Cagalli for the rest of the series anyways. Unfortunately, we are left with the idea that Cagalli has put aside the relationship to deal with Dullindal. Not really. Akatsuki doesn't have PS-armor, so there's nothing that is draining the battery. Spoiler pic: http://img360.imageshack.us/my.php?image=g...final9nd3lt.jpg

Probably the latter. 323515[/snapback] The train of thought probably goes: "Top Gun" was that movie about a bunch of pilots and jets, right? "Danger Zone" was a song from that movie. So images of jets must go well with that song.

He got clipped after he told Max to leave. Millia was right behind him all the way, without wingmen. Roy had his attention drawn away and 3 Q-Raus appeared and shot at him. Millia stuck with Max all the way.

I'm inclined to agree with this statement. Most of the Macross AMVs I've seen (this is back in the day though) were unoriginal and kinda dull. They all used M+ and all had that same theme (fighters and planes). The first was okay, then when all of them started to look the same..... 323351[/snapback] I was thinking the other direction. People think Top Gun misic has to have jets, and MacPlus has the best jets. 323420[/snapback] I wasn't referring to Top Gun music with M+ footage, just Macross AMVs in general. I have yet to find a decent Macross AMV...but I stopped looking years ago.

Meh.

Absolutely nothing. Besides redesigns on the hands, cockpit, using the Strike pack instead of the Super pack, and lots more detail, there is no difference between the 2 versions.

You should really save this for the Newbie thread. Variable winged? I think you mean VG (Variable Geometry) wings. It refers to the fact that the wings can be swept back or forward or change its "shape" (not like a morphing effect or MAW), changing the geometry of the wings, hence variable geometry wings.

Well first off, the official site is updated in the character and mech sections. http://www.gundam-seed-d.net Magazine Z spoilers. Nothing new, just a few notes. Thanks to the guys at Seed-Forum. Yeh well, tough.

In all the copies I've seen, it's not in widescreen format.

Good find on the Mk II ver. 2. Definitely looks like their taking the cleaner/updated look from the movie. Looks like they also took some ideas from the OYW MGs as well. There's that moving shoulder joint and the articulation in the legs.

Weakness is relative. Just because it has limitations and isn't as advanced as say a VF-22, is relative to it's time. Also, the VF-0 was the first (although limited in production) VF. Of course it is weaker than all VFs that came after it. Why don't I just compare a P-51 Mustang to a F-15 Eagle? Of course the P-51 sucks. It's almost 40 years older than a F-15. Sheesh....

USPS: Never had a problem. If I need to go to the post office, I go there knowing exactly what I want. I don't make my label there, I don't ask extra questions, I pack and fill out my stuff BEFORE I get into line. Makes me want to go postal on that person who decides to do everything at the counter. I just sent some DVDs out last week. I spent a total of 2 minutes at the counter. Weighed it, paid for it, got my change and receipt and off I went. Okay...enough ranting. UPS: Delievers at really inconsistent times. Sometimes late mornings, sometimes after 5PM, sometimes at mid-afternoon. I could take a day off work, wait at home, and UPS would still not deliever until almost 5 or 6 PM. I try to avoid shipping by UPS. Fedex: Somewhat consistent delievery times. Either late morning after the priority stuff get's passed out or during the afternoon. Otherwise, no probs. Hate the shipping prices though. I feel like stabbing myself everytime I see shipping prices greater than or equal to the amount of tax I paid for the order. DHL: I don't use them much.

Akatsuki's sepcs: See image from last post. * http://www.isejingu.or.jp/english/myth/mybody4.htm Sorry, lots of terminology that was done quickly from the place I got it from.

A few more random notes (these are from a magazine but we will have to wait and see on it) I knew there was something fishy about that pack Akatsuki has it the opening. http://img302.imageshack.us/my.php?image=a...dragoons6hi.jpg

You say it like it wasn't a truthful observation. Cute how the Archangel gang witness the deaths of millions, yet can't even bring themselves to really care. A madman just committed one of the greatest attrocities the Cosmic Era has ever seen, but all they do is take a minute to be gloomy then they're back to their vendetta against the Chairman, listening to Lacus' wild guesses and assumptions and high-fiving each other at the prospect of going after Dullindal. Dullindal didn't seem to care as well, if you didn't notice. Considering how 2 people she's known for 2 years almost killed her, her own government wanted her dead with Athrun, even she understands more of what is at stake. They probably do grieve for the lost of innocent life, but then they realize there is more at stake. All of ZAFT is going to be acting on revenge. This is exactly what happened after "Break the World". Acting on revenge won't solve anything. Eventually, more innocent lives will be lost and then there will be no innocents left. Everyone will be to blame.

Nope. Apollo and Helo met during Galactica's decommisioning ceremony.

Neither do I but I just find it interesting that this issue was brought up.

It's a trig problem. If it's off by only little, that can mean a lot. Yzak's group probably only knocked the relay point by no more than a few degrees but that was enough to alter the end results (Think trig and how to measure a height of a tall building with a broomstick, like this one http://science.howstuffworks.com/question379.htm). Edit: Although I can understand that everyone is in a state of shock on Minerva, but, I'm surprised that no one has questioned how Rey knew exactly how Requiem works (He even refers to Geschmeidig Panzer reflection armor directly) only after a short time after the incident. We as the viewers know, but it hasn't clicked in anybody's head on that boat. Not even Yzak or Dearka knew and they were at the relay point.

http://www.anime.net/macross/ Seriously....use the Newbie thread.

First off, it sounds like you have a bootleg. I suggest you pick up a copy of the series when ADV re-releases it. Or you can hunt for the Animeigo set. You'll thank us for it later. You don't like how it ended? Do a fan-fic. The creators of Macross intentionally leave us with open endings. This gives the impression that the there are more stories to tell, and they don't have to be about everybody's favorite Hikaru/Misa/Minmay. In fact, the creators have done 3 series with those 3. They went off into the unknown and have never been heard of since. End of story. Do we need more details? Heck no. There is more Macross than just Hikaru/Misa/Minmay. And as we know, there are more characters than just those 3.
