I don't know if prohibiting the discussion of fan subs is the right thing to do, although MW walks an odd line between what kind of piracy discussion is 'okay.' iMacross and bit torrent digisubs discussions are okay, but Kazaa stuff isn't? Fundamentally the problem with fansubbing is that it involves a lot of ego; always has. Thus we get problems like the trolls coming here just to complain about the Infusion guys, I think you misunderstand. I am referring to fansub discussions like the one we have regarding Infusion/AOnE/etc/etc/etc that is bringing the ego into the discussion. Discussion of fansubs ain't the problem. It's the ego/drama that's coming with it in that thread. Leave the new-age fansubber ego/drama at the door or don't come in at all. Is that so hard? Judging by that thread...apparently so.

Shawn must have hit a wrong button....*knocks on Graham's door* Anybody home?

I'll said it once and I'll say it again.. Mao is only 11 and you people really need to stop focusing on her. .....She's beyond barely-legal....At least Mylene, by MD7, is 16...

On the subject of that..... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...200entry65103 Let's just end that thread (i.e. mods, lock it, please and and any releated thread) and never ever bring up the subject of fansub releases like this again as it will probably cause a nice little drama which all of us could care less about.

There's probably a better pic out there but:

it is really asuka? if you see the oficial homepage you will notice that they call it aska too. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...a_ii/index.html It could also be called ASCA and be right. It's the C/K sound. Asuka is the proper spelling. However, it could be spelled ASCA or ASKA depending on how you spell the "ka"/"ca" sound.

Oh...you stumbled onto Keith's site.....To answer your question.....go back and read this thread from page 1.

I'll just throw my $0.02 and say this thread was probably a bad idea from the start and now should be locked as it is turning into a mud-slinging mess and we should never ever have posts about fansub releases again...especially if they are going to end up like this....

Jeez, we couldn't even break the 2 week barrier-of-silence in this thread......sad.....

Weird. That is wierd.... Maybe it was designed as an AC for AC4 first?...... It probably was for Armored Core. It may have been a design from AC that was worked around for Macross.

Yep yep. Had a very long talk with a buddy of mine (getting his PhD in physics ) a while back and that comes about close to what I remember us discussing. And unless we go from 0 to x times light speed or vice versa, then no we won't be pancakes, in atmosphere or space. IIRC, my buddy told me 20 Gs is like bashing your head against a wall once. And if NASCAR drivers take 100 G spikes when crashing and still live, then what we've seen is correct, except for Guld in M+ movie. My buddy said to me that scene was just anime magic.... You guys might want to look at this: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/nov98...62963.Bp.r.html

Yes it is difficult to tell with screenshots. Watch the scene and pay attention to the object I've highlighted in the screenshots. It is a fighter (whether VF or Ghost, I don't know...I can't tell, thank you exploding destroid...)

Attachment 3: As you can see, something is tailing Nora when DD and Nora break coming at Asuka.

Attachment 2

Right as they split coming at Asuka. It's hard to see and I had to watch it frame-by-frame to catch it. As we see the POV of the Destroids, DD and Nora split off. As Nora pulls off to the right (from the scene POV), you see something come right behind Nora. DD fires off 3 missiles which hit the destroid, throwing a huge fireball into the scene which blankets the image. See images attached:

This is not a opinion thread. This is for Q&A only. Your question is asking for an opinion.

You know they did show a VF or Ghost coming up behind Nora. And considering that DD and Nora were the only ones to make it to Asuka, it could mean that the defense was good enough to hold back the other SVs. And why didn't Roy launch? Probably because they were mounting the armor on him?.... http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf0/index.html We've known it for quite some time.... Yes it was Nora. It's quite obvious she called for backup while trying to land her half wrecked plane....And considering Shin looks like he's been running for a bit, I would say a good amount of time (like more than 15 minutes) has elasped from the time he ejected.

Let BT run. It will reconnect. As more people connect, the more people will connect to the tracker causing lots of timeouts elsewhere. This is common. Don't worry.

LOL...you should have seen it when we did have it....Where's Milkman....he use to run the channel IIRC...

http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/ Specifically: http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/#speed Basically, open some ports on your firewall if your using a router (like a D-link, Linksys, Netgear, etc....). If that doesn't work, adjust your upload speed. I don't know. Maybe to those people you are connected to..... Either: A) You have a firewall set up and is blocking connections to other people slowing you down. B) You're not connected to lots of people (probably due to [A]). C) You are downloading/uploading something else which is saturating your bandwidth (Always possible). D) You are connected to a bunch of a-holes who all have set their upload rate to 1k and only 2 upload slots (this is highly unlikely/non-existant) or are connected to every modem user out there right now, even the seeder who's seeding with a modem. E) You keep closing and restarting the Bittorrent, causing you to reconnect to peers. If so, stop, just let BT run. F) All of the above. I would check A and C particularly. It is ideal to let BT be the only thing downloading/uploading, but we do not have ideal conditions, ever. In fact, I'm uploading on WinMX right now, very slowly (5k) but still uploading and running BT on episode 3. My highest was 120k down (with the low being 40k) and keeping it at 5k uploading. And yes I have played with port settings on my router to allow BT to run. If you are using an experimental client, do a manual announce and see if you connect to more people. If you do that and still have considerably slow speeds, then see who you are connected to. If you are downloading from only a few people and they happen to be slow uploading, then check your firewall and or proxy. Most likely that is your problem. Beyond that, I would have to check each problem on a case by case basis. edit: I'm done.

Maybe...but it's quite dead in there....

Graham....AFOS....not APHOS.... 2) Perhaps. They seem to have the same sensor eye. 4) Nah, you're not the only one. The cels are definitely CG colored (what isn't these days...) but yeah, I wasn't too fond of the switching either. 6)DD probably would have gotten AFOS as well if Roy didn't interfere. 7) You expect them to have SCUBA gear? On the island which barely has a working generator...One wonders how they even get a TV reception..... 10) Fat chance of that...The golden days of fansubs are gone. No group releases their scripts.

Where do you go to access these settings to change them? I don't see any kind of control panel... Like I said, I'm using 3.3 though, so maybe it's different. To people still using the 3.2.1 experimental client, I suggest downloading this client: http://bt.degreez.net/ It's based on the original experimental client created by Eike Frost, only more features. And it also runs on the 3.3 code-base of the version 3.3 client of Bittorrent created by Bram Cohen. As to the problem of slow downloading. At time of post, a quick check with TorrentSpy indicates there are more than 2000 people downloading with less than 300 seeds. Let's also take into account that some people are downloading via modem or have set their uploads really low. Let's also take into account firewall issues (which also affect speeds). 20k sounds about right....Now to go back and download my Kamen Rider.

You know...there is the "quote" button. I suggest using it as it does help with readability..... To each his own..Well, if it was 45 min a episode, we'd probably have only 4 episodes..... I don't know how much more official you can get with the timeline at the Compendium....
