I don't know.....It's kinda hard to tell since Ivano Gunther was wearing the armored flight suit when they went to Varuata, then the armor (pre-Protodevlin form) convienently placed hides the chest...Then the robes at the end well...cover the chest area.... Tell me of an instance where you can see clearly...(episode #)

Yep, but then again that doesn't explain the same circumstance when the SDF-1 is in 'cruiser' shape while earthbound (and both configurations, with the city onboard, are shown in the SDF series ). Unless, the city is on swivel plates as you mention - just seems to be the long way around... Any other ideas? (Mods, sorry if this is too far off the Q&A charter of this thread) This really isn't addressed too much in the series. My best guess would be it is caused by the artificial gravity on board. If the city did rotate, that would be a lot of rotating blocks to move. I doubt they had the time to reconfig an entire section of the ship just to rotate when in Strike mode.

Those "things" they eject are the fold boosters they used to move from Eden to Earth, I believe. Just to clear up any confusion: When entering Earth orbit, they are ditching the Fold boosters. They are still in fighter mode at this time BTW (although we don't see Guld eject his, he was in fighter mode prior to following Isamu's lead of using the debris as cover, in which case he switched to battroid mode, etc....). When in Earth, they are ejecting their fast packs as that's all those 2 seemed to be hitting.

Yep. Blame it on budgets. In M7, there isn't much thrust vectoring even though the fighters have it. TV shows can't afford to push out great animation (unless you're GitS: SAC, but that is only shown 2 episodes/month), in every episode, every week.

You don't need to know about the whole Macross series to watch M0. M0 pretty much explains the ASS-1 thingy to get you started. It's not a requirement that you watch all Macross series to understand M0. Watching all of Macross is just a...helpful tool. Kawamori has thrown in in-jokes from Arjuna so you don't need to watch all of Macross to understand M0.

Probably in Canada....but you might want to double check with Egan Loo.

I'll hold the dates as tentative as usual.

Before you ask questions concerning other Macross series, I suggest reading the newbie thread and this http://www.anime.net/macross/

2-3 years...yeah that sounds about right. Between X, Turn A, and Seed, there was about a 3-year gap. Probably best to give any potential production staff time to work on other stuff.

Seriously...continuity should be the last thing to think about. Amen.

When did he say that? What he said was it won't kill him if he step on the continuity's toes every now and then. He's not forsaking it or anything. He created Macross. Let the man do what he wants.

First off....The yammie can wait. I suggest you get the DVD set by Animeigo. It is worth the price. And would probably answer your question rather than anybody posting, wasting space. She sang "My Boyfriend is a Pilot", followed by "Shai Pai Lon", then "Love Drifts Away".

Not one that is readily avaliable.

Let's see, Windjammer posted the storyboard sketches....Graham posted the Destroid pic, and I do believe that last one was mine in reference to a M0 destroid thread. So yes, those images are quite old and we've already talked about them.

When we hear something, we'll let you know. Okay, I still need to order episode 2 R2....dang I'm getting behind. Must stop gaming...... In the mean time to everybody else who will ask this question (and I'm sure some n00b will ask when M0 will be released for R1), M0 is NOT licensed yet for the billionth time.

Don't know because we've never seen it as the center of attention. I doubt waiting till they see the whites of each other's eyes is what they do anymore...

The have the Bolognese Stealth Frigates, Neo Nupetiet-Vergnitzs bis battleships, Guantánamo Stealth Carriers, and probably more we don't know about. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/index.html

The VF-1 always had the smaller hands ( I assume you mean the utility arms/"magic arms" in the arm blocks).

Most of the customs related to Macross come from magazines. Macross's producers can't really spend a whole lot of money on custom paint jobs. If they did, they'd have a whole bunch of angry animators. Imagine the eye strain and errors if in every scene, the valks were all the colors of the rainbow.

I read somewhere that Animeigo'd been trying to get the rights for DYRL, but the paper trail got too long for them to feasibly track down who, if anyone, actually HAS the license right now, so they dropped it. Same old story. And for once, it's one that doesn't involve HG. Yep. Robert Woodhead was asked about DYRL?. Right now, I count 2-3 companiess that have the license and they are in Europe and the USA.

There are no liner notes for volume 9.

You can't. Well, not easily that is. The VF-11 Full Armor variant was an addon to the Bandai 1/144 model. There might also be a resin kit....Okay, it just came to me, the FA addon was the TECT kit. http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/models...s/tect/tect.htm It was a mod to the Bandai 1/144 kit. Good luck finding a kit.

Besides the funnels, Mwu was actually holding his own versus Providence. Surprisingly, he dodged quite a number of funnels and reacted quite well. In fact, he was able to get close to Providence and engage in close-quarter combat. But greater numbers are still greater numbers. Dealing with more than 1 is always going to be a challenge. As for the EMP, who knows. Nope. Episode 50 will air on Saturday as usual. However, it will air at 5:30 PM instead of 6:00 PM.

Full-Armor version of the VF-11 was in Macross 7.
