Unless they bring back the Rick Dom or any other old Zeon mech. Then that would be too much....but that's for Bandai's marketing people to decide.

On the note about submerging...Archangel is a spaceworthy ship and a tough one as well. I sure she could submerge herself (not far though) during the war. The only adjustments they would need to make to her now would be to reinforce the ship for travelling farther down (at the depth they seem to be heading down at, it would warrent some minor modifications to withstand the amount of pressure they would be facing). Archangel could have done it during the war, but as stated above, submerging would not have been a good idea.

Because they were being chased by a sub.....

Actually, I liked the ending theme. I can tolerate Mika Arisaka's singing. And the song is paced well enough for the ending credits. High and Mighty Color....as I said before, I can't stand the male vocal. I've listen to the song for 3 weeks now...I still can't like the male vocal. "Ignited" was a better song than "Pride" and I though "Ignited" was okay. But that's my opinion.

Nanashi took down his page for the time being. When he will bring it back up is unknown.

I hear there is a image in February's Dengeki Hobby, but it might just be nothing that we can make out. "Destiny Gundam" is a cross (from what I can tell) between Freedom and Impulse. From the looks of it, it's got a HiMAT system. Yet unlike Freedom, whose wings are lined with thruster slits, this Gundam's wings are more like a GINN's main engine/backpack (similar to V2 Gundam) , hence the light/exhaust wings. It's shoulders look like they got beam boomerangs and it looks like it doesn't have beam sabers, more like a anti-ship sword on the right and a cannon/energy weapon on the left side. The shield also seems a tad smaller. Unfortunately, Fukada conviently shadows out the 2 new Gundams.....guess we have to wait for the next new opening sequence....

Hummm......have you tried....the Compendium, perhaps? http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../va3/index.html

I think that's a "maybe" right now. But the Aile Striker pack is there... He probably will be piloting a Gundam, but it's still quite early and Fukada may pull a Providence and have it not show up until the very end. He might pilot a Windam but we never know until it happens. Images in the opening theme are to be taken lightly and perhaps as a metaphor (Remember Astray in the opening of SEED). Think of it this way, Murre and Neo will probably meet. But it may not be under the best of circumstances. I may have been a bit premature about those beam wings. It's definitely engine exhaust, but light wings........

That still can't be proven. Neo could be a clone, in which case, Murrue would still have the same reaction.

It's a 5-disc with English subs. Japanese DVD-versions of Macross don't have English subs and don't come in 5-disc sets. So it's definitely a bootleg. Here's the listing on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW More to the point, RT would not exists without those 3 inidvidual series. If you get Macross, Southern Cross and Mospeada, you are getting the originals, period. If you get RT, you get the bastardized version of those 3 series, which I would consider, a waste of money. Unless you like RT, then your money would be better spent on the Complete or Remastered sets of RT.

Ep. 14 was definitely a LOL episode. That is, laughing at the bride kidnap scene. Price of Cagalli's dress, $x-amount. Price of the ceremony, $y-amount. Price on Yuna's face as Cagalli get's airlifted off ORB...priceless. Andy's Murasame definitely seems like a nod to Hyaku Shiki. "Destiny Gundam" has beam wings (Victory 2 Gundam)...... Wonder if that orange ZAKU is a variant of this one... http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/destiny-msv/zgmf-x999a.htm "Pride" is gonna take it bit to get use to......I've been listening to it for 3 weeks and I still can't stand the male vocal..... edit: forgot to add...they finally fixed the pic of Justice in the background with Saviour...

That's probably a HK bootleg cuz there ain't a Japanese version readily avaliable. HK bootlegs are normally inferior in quality to their licensed counterparts.

Jeez...not another one. Some helpful links (which you should read first): http://www.anime.net/macross/ http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=140 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=228

Isamu dropped flares and cut his engines. At that point, the flares would be the biggest heat-source for the mini-missiles to track. They cut their engines then restarted them. That's why it seemed like they were floating. That would work. Unfortunately, I believe conventional training tells the pilot to throttle up and move. No TV budget ever warrents good animation for a long running series. The only TV show I've seen go for long stretch with good animation is Ghost in the Shell:SAC, but there are factors there that even it out.

Well, why do you want to know? And if you don't have a DVD-ROM, why not go buy one? They're quite cheap. You have to tell us why you want to know all of this because it still sounds like you want to do something none of us here want no part of. You can get your answer via PM but you're not telling us why you want to know this. And it still sounds like you wanna copy those disc you got. I'm sorry, but that's how I see it.

1) Maybe because they weren't doing complicated manuevers in those series? You don't really see people in SDF and M7 pulling off cobra manuevers in the series or banking hard. Well, you do see Gamlin pulling off a roll/turn-on-a-dime move in M7. He was a little stiff when he first did that. Of course, when Max does his (spoiler, highlight to read) roll and shoot move in his VF-22 in episode 44 and 49, the POV is on the fighter and not on him. And the Fire Bomber crew do wear flight suits. Basara's stage outfit also serves as his flight suit. However, he does take liberties of not wearing it sometimes, and they actually wonder about Basara when he goes out and performs some moves without problems. But that remains unanswered. 2) Emergency lights in DYRL?. I'm sure the yellow bands are either lights or more likely reflective material (like that on the jackets of firefighters) It might also serve as armor. Better than the old spandex-look of the SDF flight suits.

Ideally, yes. In practice....probably not. It's hard enough to use the anti-aircraft laser on later VFs. Also, the units hold micro-missiles, which, most-likely, use a heat-seeking targeting system. And deploying those missiles right next to your engines probably isn't a good thing as you may have that one lone malfunctioning missile come after you. Better to be safe than sorry.

What, they both can know how to sing to a beat?

That's kinda funny cuz Tomino said that to Fukada back when he was doing SEED. In an interview with Fukada, Fukada went to say hi to Tomino (gotta greet the man who started it), Tomino said to Fukada, "I just tried to unify everything and now they hired you to break it up again. ARGH!!!!!!!!! Well, good luck." (or something to that effect). Of course Tomino hates Bandai with a passion so......

Probably not. Saviour is Athrun's new and permanent mech assignment. It was kinda hinted that Freedom would be back (MSiA, it's in the credits.... etc). Freedom wasn't destroyed by Le Creuset. It lost limbs but it's reactor a majority of the main body was still intact. Quite salvageable. Strike? For sure, no. That thing is quite gone. Strike Rouge...maybe. Too early to tell. One thing you need to take into account is that the current set of Gundams are much more capable than Freedom or Justice. Minus the nuclear reactor, they would be just as capable as Freedom or Justice. So why bring back a mech that was blown to itty bitty pieces.

Yes yes, join the crowd over there. Cagalli is trying her best to hold onto an ideal but times have changed and the circumstances aren't the same. It's been a rough 2 years on her and she can't keep up. That's why she's the doormat she is now. She's trying to stop a train wreck all by herself. It's reflecting poorly on her character but place yourself in her shoes and you might see why she is a doormat.

Often, anime is drawn by a team of animators, usually split into groups. That's the reason for the inconsistancy at times on longer running series. It's normal. Ignore it. I'm sure they got someone to ferry him to Earth orbit. He still has muscles and nerves. Modern-day prosthetic arms do have electrodes that read muscle activity, allowing someone to move a robotic hand. So Andy's prosthetic is feasible. This has been around for a while.

In fact I just answered a question in the newb thread about where to get 'em. Looks like a few places still have them in stock (not all volumes but you can shop around at various stores) so it's not like they are hard to come by. Probably as soon as the Animeigo stock is all sold, HG will probably try to resell it through ADV's distribution catalog.

I suggest you go out and buy the set ASAP as Animeigo has discontinued production. You should still be able to find all 9 DVDs if you act soon. http://www.animeigo.com/Products/MACROSS.t http://www.robotech.com/store/viewcategory.php?id=14 Here are a few places that still have them in stock: http://www.tmpanime.com/ http://www.digitaleyes.net/ http://www.rightstuf.com/ http://www.animenation.com/dvd-anime-dvd--...m--macross.html http://www.ebay.com/ Now to your question(s): As serious as Robotech can be. Maybe more...maybe less.... Yes and no. It flows as well as a 36-episode TV series should. You only have our opinions which is for another thread (not this one). The only thing I can tell you is go watch it. If you don't like it, sell it on Ebay. You can listen to us all you want but the only way to satisfy yourself is to watch it yourself. We can sing our praises (as most of us will) but it takes a little effort on your part as well. Opinion question. This thread is not for that. What you do get with the Macross DVDs is a entirely restored cut of the show. Unedited and remastered. Along with a few fan-oriented extras. Robotech was edited with footage from other series (Southern Cross and Mospeada) to form Robotech. Certain footage was cut/edited for the US audience (edited for television; nudity, gore, that stuff). Dialog was added and edited for the US audience. However, a good deal of the translations match the dialog in Robotech:Macross Saga. Please see this thread for more information: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=228
