There's one every generation. There's always someone out there who says this stuff "corrupts" our youth. A decade or 2 ago, it was TV.

Yep, still not done yet. More info (courtesy of AnimeSuki's forum)

Yeah I'm not done yet. (Spoilers, highlight to read, thanks to the guys at Seed-Forums)

Edited was not counted the the episode count. GSD may extend past the 50-episode mark (like 51..52...). It has been confirmed that it is moving up an hour early to make way for Blood TV series. But right now, we don't know. Also from Gunota, our 3 DOM pilots. There is an issue about the Gundam Ace previews so I'll post those when it gets cleared up. There are also Dengeki Hobby previews as well. I'll get to those when they are translated. Akatsuki's backpack is actually a Striker pack (looks like ORB had a Silhoutte system long before ZAFT... ) edit: one more thing. Word around the grapevine is Akatsuki was originally intended for Kira but he got Freedom so it went to Cagalli. A good nod to F91 would be if the 2 guns on the backpack were VSBRs. I would like to see those things again. Edit 2: even more images: Color Akatsuki (I think this is the real Hyaku Shiki homage...) And the DOM pilots, Euclid and Strike Booster:

In any case, Take-Two has ceased production of the game until Rockstar sends them a "clean" copy. Not that it matters now, the game has been out on PS2/Xbox for a year. Yeah...heaven forbid that a kid would get their pr0n from a video game.

Just a quick spoiler from the Char Blog:

Best Buy also pulled it. Lazy parenting? Sure. Just because you don't want to watch over your kid's well being, you expect others to do it for you....What happen to the days were it was your own damn fault? Geez. It is just as bad as that kid who said he got his cop killing ideas from GTA and people were blaming GTA, blah blah blah. I also get ideas from my violent games. You know, blasting someone with a rocket launcher, pumping a entire magazine into someone, etc. Heck, all of us have probably had some thought about acting out a gaming sequence. But that doesn't mean we'll actually go do it (unless you're that stupid). That kid was the one who killed the cop, not GTA. If the game has a "M/17+" rating and you're buying it for a 12 yr old....you gotta wonder. edit: clarify.

Unfortunately...Yzak's GOUF will probably not have the extra gatling gun from the ending theme animation. Nice custom though.

Oh, you mean the Orgus Valk.

http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...ghball_missile/ What that inside joke is...only the producers know.

Gundam X probably suffers from Family-Guy-syndrome. Bad time slot, horrible ratings, etc....then it comes out on DVD and boom, the popularity sours. With the X manga now, people want to go back and look at what this series was about. I've had X fansubs for....4..5 years now. And some people are now just discovering it. With Turn A, people didn't really notice it since very few people ever saw it. Now that fansubs have come out, more people are watching it. Could people be wanting more of a Gundam fix than they get from GS/GSD, or IGLOO? Sure. People read from us that SEED pays homage to the older series (MSG, Z, etc...) and they find out there's more Gundam out there. Some of which are older then they are. So they want to find out more. It's not unusual.

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/mvf-m11c.htm Yeh, it's a Murasame. Huh? It works in space.

They probably changed it to Strike Freedom since Nu and Super have been used already. That's probably a by-product of lowering Rouge's power specs to Strike's level. He could pour more power to weapons allowing a faster rate of fire. What MS? Time please? If anything....Kira should have brought the IWSP with him. Rouge was designed to use that thing.

I'll check with my Tungsten later. edit: The lo-fi version works fine on my Tungsten.

Rumor had it (this popped up at a Japanese convention, where someone asked a Bandai rep) that the next series would be something more for the older crowd (the UC kids). I forgot when this was asked (It may have referred to MS IGLOO) so who knows.

To heck with it, I'll save the user the trouble... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15288 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15259 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15085 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15028 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13380 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=14939 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9070 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13571 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9687 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9483 I think that's it....

Blah, forget editing my last post... That should probably be "same engine-type". A few months back, some magazines mentioned the gold-color on S-Freedom (and silver on IJ) were a product of a new engine. And considering the armaments on SF and IJ, they probably increased the reactor output while keeping it at a relative equal size compared to the last set. Kira hacks......

Doubtful. But you know...no one heard of Providence until the month that it aired. But for now, he'll probably take the Andy's Murasame. But who knows. We should get some more spoilers this week from Gundam Ace. I doubt he'll take Akatsuki. The best explaination would probably be that it's a new Gaia. The translated summary I read of the episode indicated that Eternal was docked with a hidden factory. That's where they were building the DOMs, SF, and IJ. When that recon GINN found them, they decided to leave the factory and draw ZAFT's attention by launching Eternal. The factory is on silent at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me that they built their own Gaia. Technically....it's not his old ride. He reprogrammed Strike Rouge's Phase-Shift (what can I say...Cagalli has a weird brother), but yeah, you could say it's his "old ride".

S-Freedom doesn't use any type of Colloid system besides the DRAGOON. The red dots are just hot debris/particles near the engine exhaust. The same effect was used on the original Freedom. No one can answer that WoL effect yet unfortunately.

Concerning the METEOR units: http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/me...ip_eternal.html " In addition to a pair of METEOR units, which function as gun turrets while docked with the ship, " As I said, nice to seem them animated as such finally. Colonel. Taisa. You're demoting him even further. Concerning Mu/Neo, no one really knows what's going to happen. Since we knew Strike Rouge would not be around after this episodes, most people figured he would take Andy's Murasame since obviously not Andy has his own Gaia.

Actually, it was 25 MS. S-Freedom was pretty good. Does it even need the METEOR unit if it can do all that damage all by itself. Fukada should throw in some John Woo-moves into S-Freedom...just for kicks. Speaking of METEOR, they finally showed the use of those things on Eternal. They never got a chance to show those things as the turrets they are in GS. I found that to be a nice touch.

Huh? *Wonders why anybody would say that when AnimeSuki is a fansubber site*

Option 1. Getting a fansub is possible, they are out there, but it may take some doing. But it's probably your best bet, if you look below. Option 2. NO. Bootlegs are bad. Not only are you supporting organized crime, but organized crime that cannot comprehend either the Japanese or English languages. Option 3. That will be a long wait...right now, any further Macross releases outside of what's already here (TV, II and Plus) is dependent on an amicable resolution to a number of ongoing or threatened lawsuits. 311261[/snapback] Thanks Pat. Too bad there's not an easier way. So, more questions... Where do I get a fansub of Macross 7? Is it possible to get DVD instead of VHS? 311263[/snapback] http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/166.html Start downloading.

Of course, if it did have PS armor, which it doesn't, it would change color... Kinetic weapons, explosives and bladed weapons used by grunts don't have the energy or punch and is countered or nullified by the armor because the force of the impact can be distributed over a larger surface area, nullifying the effect. Beam weapons have more energy behind them compared to kinetic weapons and are packed tighter, so they are harder to spread out over the surface area. Against bladed weapons, most use their blades to cut. The edge of the sword is a large surface area which is being used against a large surface area (consider my example of a sword striking plate mail versus a sword stabbing plate mail). The force is distributed, nullifying the attack. When Shinn stabbed Freedom, he had lots of force and confined it to a tiny point, namely the point of the sword. Tiny surface area and lots of energy...almost makes it a beam weapon. Concerning Mirage Colloid. There are other applications for it besides stealth. I would say impractical. The nukes are fairly small as is. MC uses too much energy to maintain it. Unless you want to strap lots of batteries on it, you're making a small missile suddenly much bigger. And what happens if the MC fails due to lack of power before it reaches it's goal? Then the enemy sees the nukes and the start countermeasures. Even if you strap a MS's nuke reactor, that reactor is still fairly large and what if you can't fit enough fuel for reaction on it (even though that amount is probably more than enough) It is possible, but is it feasible? As of this post, I don't see anything that says strapping MC on a nuke is feasible. Although, since we have 10 more episodes to go, that may change.

What Andy wanted to do was wear down the power on Strike. Phase-shift consumes more power when hit to counter the incoming force (Newton's 3rd law?). You force the power to drain by hitting it repeatedly. With Shinn, just calculate F=ma, where (m) would be the mass of Force Impulse + mass of a ... In any case, the amount of force in that or any kind of thrust would pierce any armor. It's not due to what the sword was made of, somewhat..... it's just how much force was behind the blow that pierced the PS armor. If I was throwing around a good sized bowling ball, the blunt trama would be more than enough to hurt anybody.
