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.

Just to note a few things... -The base Dullindal was in is called "Messiah". And yes, he does have his "Emperor's chair" in there. -The intended target was Aprilius, home of the Supreme Council. -The PLANTs that were hit were Janarius 1- 4, December 7-8. -"Destiny Plan" appears to be a way to pre-determine everyone's life according to their genes. Kinda like making everybody into Ultimate Coordinators, except their lives are pre-set for them, unlike Kira who grew into his world. Kinda like "Gattaca". Naturals get wiped out, Coordinators get eliminated as well because many of them are born with imperfections or don't follow what was mainipulated in their genes. Everybody comes out perfect and fills the choosen role. You can't grow beyond your role in life. So if you're made to be a bum on the street, you will be a bum on the street for life. You can't grow out of that role since it's not in your genes. - Requiem uses abandon/old/hollowed out colonies with some special equipment as reflectors. And from the data Rey got, they can shoot anywhere, even Earth. -All of this comes almost too well for Dullindal. Hence his acting, his smirks, everything. Almost as if he planned it all out.

It's only special due to the round it fires, the 5.7x28mm SS190 round. This is the same round used in the FN P90. The round itself is designed to penetrate infantry armor vests (bullet-resistant vests) for support troops. It looks like a smaller version of the 5.56 NATO round.

Djibril didn't need to be on the moon. He just wanted the pleasure of pulling the trigger himself. Unfortunately it is a catch-22 case with Kira/Athrun/Lacus/Cagalli. Let thousands of civilians be caught in the crossfire at ORB or let thousands of people die on PLANT. It's best not to play the numbers-game. As the viewer, we see things from a larger perspective than the characters in the series. Did anybody know that EA had one more weapon? No. We, as the omnipotent viewers, did. The characters, however, did not. We can make that judgement that they screwed up. The characters in the show can't until it happens. So you can't say someone screwed up since your perspective is a all-knowing viewer. Concerning the "Destiny Plan". Looks like we guessed right. It does involve evolution. Dullindal wants to force evolution's hand. Eliminate the bad parts (people and all). He wants to create an ideal world where everybody can be what they want to be and everybody is happy. Your life becomes pre-determined, in essense. And if you don't follow the plan, you're eliminated. Also, someone noticed when PLANT is destroyed, Gilbert is acting. He looks around first then plays role and making everyone believe he's pissed. Good eye...

Talk about a lot of bad press about this... http://aeug.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_aeug_a...450542143458737 Tomino is gonna need to do some damage control. BTW, is Four gonna die in Movie II or is that reserved for Movie III? Cuz there's still a chance to remedy this...well maybe. Of course, he could always fire Mr. Fujino....

Roy was so distraught after Aries' death, he decided to do the manly thing and grow a mullet. Someone forgot to tell him that they go on the back of your head. 321396[/snapback] Not mention his excessive drinking after her death prior to meeting claudia. "He once bragged about shooting down ten fighters while flying with a raging hangover" Claudia LaSalle ep. 1 Boobytrap 321632[/snapback] He was a drunkard before Aries died.....(M0, ep. 2)

Lucy Lawless will guest star in an episode airing Sept. 9th. http://www.cinescape.com/0/editorial.asp?a...55&obj_id=49442 Spoiler (Highlight to read) She may be a recurring character...who knows.

http://aeug.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_aeug_a...423729809283745 It should be noted that DVD sales are actually doing very, very well. Vol. 6 has been out for a month and is still in the top 20 anime sales (according to Oricon). And the music has been doing quite well (CD Suit vol. 6 has been out for 2 months and still in the top 10). So it's still in the air.

I did consider this, but then I remembered that Veffidas in comparison to Millia. Veffidas ' build is closer to a body builder than someone of Millia's size. She was a professional street fighter at one time and she did have to play with the boys who were also quite well built. So they do retain strength (imagine have 7 kids, where 2 of them were twins) but beyond a certain point, it falls to the individual, otherwise Millia should be able to do what Veffidas did, which she probably can't.

This preview for next week brings a few things which haven't been mentioned. From SEED Club Mobile/Char's Blog (Spoilers, highlight to read)

I don't have that problem. Oh, I see which link you're clicking on. You're clicking on the one under the "News" banner (which is the wrong one). If you click the one which says "MW Forums", then you get the right one. That's a minor issue.

Exedol's form was explained. When he macronized himself, he altered his structure with a greater emphasis on his mental capabilities. 320404[/snapback] Wasn't he also worried about ther micronization/macronization process directly affecting his brain and memories, and IIRC even concerned about getting brain cancer form the process? 320468[/snapback] Not necessarily brain cancer. But he was worried about the process affecting his mental abilities. 2, technically. I don't count the macronization/micronization.

The card you have to play with this is "Do the ends justify the means?"

Yes, their size has something to do with it. Zentradi were built big. Their structure is designed to withstand more and this does make them stronger. Of course, it makes them stronger for their size. The corollary of that is look at an ant. For it's size, it is capable of carrying things weighing more than it's body weight. So size isn't the only answer.

Someone associated Mari Ijima with Reba West. Blasphemy.

Very slow. Maybe. But when the other side uses beam weapons or anti-armor weapons....

The best thing to do would be to just host it off-site. Use your own webspace, use a image hosting service (preferable), etc. This way, no one complains about the size or whatnot. And you can keep it independent of MW's server. If you want to post it on MW, then use a decent size. 640x480 or 800x600.

Athrun got the right arm this time...all he needs to do is get the other 3 limbs. Athrun actually beam shielded one and beam-bladed kicked the other. I found it cute when Kira just kicked Destiny away when it was about to palm him. hehe....

GSD is on at 6PM on Saturday nights. Ratings so far have been pretty steady since midseason. Most of the money comes from merchandise.

Ishtar is a character from Macross II. The girl in the center of this pic:

Some lovely info from the model on the DOMs from Mark Simmons (courtesy of GOUF and Seed Forums)

Not to beat around the dead horse but... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4118270.stm Makes you wonder.

Actually, you are wrong. Beam shields do stop physical weapons in addition to beam weapons (Freedom uses it to block missiles/explosives). An I-Field only stops beam weapons. http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/uc/ba...technology.html Definitely. Using colloid particles always seems to be a big plus, but a big drain on a battery (Blitz, Forbidden, etc). I'm still waiting for a good explaination to Destiny's/Legend's hybrid engine.
