The animation's definitely "stiff". As opposed to the very smooth TV eps...

Yeesh---I thought this thread was JUST ABOUT to get back to ep 19 and not "MKV's suck" but it's still going on. Encoding/playing etc discussion ends NOW. Go talk in our "fansubs and how to play them on your PC" thread here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...5914&st=480

I think we need a video for "transforming the shoulder without breaking it".

Eeeek. And you even said like 3 posts ago you're careful. I'm kinda afraid to open mine and transform it... (mine just arrived)

When City 7 is 'stolen' and Battle 7 arrives on scene with only seconds to spare and prepares to transform to fire the cannon but they don't have time so Max cancels the transformation and just rams the other ship, don't you think that if it was at all possible to fire the cannon in ship mode, he'd have done so? Near the end of the series he even does 70-80% charge firings to save time, but still always waits for transformation to finish.

I thought they were cosplayers---just look at the other cosplayers---the people on Frontier have GOOD costumes.

No, but the theater had grape Icee, which I've never had before, and was awesome. Icee>movie.

::edit:: Subs are out for DDL.

Veoh--yeah. Veoh always seems to be the first place to have subbed versions--but the quality's so poor I refuse to watch there.

No comments? Am I the only one who saw it? My short take: Good, but I liked the TV eps better. If anything---too much pointless (and often juvenile) banter. The TV series had entire eps with little/no talking.

????? Still no ddl for ep 19, and I know GG's had their subs available for a decent amount of time.

Found the new HISS, Trouble Bubble, Serpentor Chariot, etc. HISS driver has a color issue---his helmet doesn't match his uniform at all. While many "medium blue" Cobra figures have a bit of a color matching issue (especially the arms), this one is the worst I've seen. The uniform is very "faded" compared to the rich blue helmet. Pretty much ruins the figure for me (and I really wanted a blue HISS driver). PS---HISS has all-white markings. I was hoping for red...

Did you read Graham's review? "However, a word of warning. The leg fins need to be gently pulled out a couple of mm (you'll hear a click when they are pulled out as far as they can go), before you try to fold them. Failure to extend the leg fins before folding them may resort in breakage"

Armor is nothing more than a hope/rumor so far. I expect super parts to come with the valk in the box.

SPACE MEGAFORCE. Must-play. Everything about it rocks--graphics, weapons, stages, and most of all---music. After that, Darius Twin and Super R-Type are both classics. I like Darius a lot more.

Found Onslaught, and despite being a huge Onslaught fan, I passed. Just not worth 25 bucks. If they ditched the lights and he was just 20, I'd have probably bought him.

Haven't seen Kei for a couple weeks, I've been going with GG the past few eps.

That's a LONG question/answer, and not for this thread. You'll figure it out soon enough. The really short version (as I figure there's a lot of MW members here that have joined since Frontier started airing and don't know the story): He was banned for a long time, but we've decided he's "served his time" and allowed him back, hoping he'll behave. The details on why/how etc are probably going to remain "known to mods only" unless Graham or Shawn decide to make it public.

Honestly, I've been very curious as to what Agent ONE thinks of Frontier.

Ummm, yeah. EVERYTHING people send that you didn't ask for is a bot/virus/spam/trojan. That's how you can tell.

A bit OT but useful: misterryno---buy some Sanyo "eneloop" batteries. Worth every penny. They're rechargables that DON'T LOSE THEIR CHARGE OVER TIME. I think I've only had to charge them once since buying them last year... They have a bit lower capacity than high-end modern batteries, but are equal to the capacity of "normal" batteries from a couple years ago. And unless you're doing extended photo shoots at an airshow or sporting event where you need every minute of power and flash-charging, the trade-off is well worth it. I keep 2 sets of batteries on hand for my camera---1 high-capacity set that I charge the night before an airshow etc (since they'll lose like 5% power each day just sitting there), and 1 set of eneloops that are kept in the camera at all other times.

Am I the only one here who both desired and expected the model to be exactly how it is? Did anyone honestly think that it'd be like a Hasegawa kit, and NOT exactly like a transforming MG Gundam kit?

Uxi--do you have a Sony with game mode etc? I know of no TV where game mode ONLY turns off processing---every one I've seen also alters the the color/brightness etc. (sometimes they even advertise that fact as a "feature" of game mode) If they ONLY turned off processing they'd be wonderful, but since they all (AFAIK) also mess with colors, they're worthless. Which is why I don't ever use game mode on my TV.

Heck, line-art's inconsistent with itself even in the same mode! Just look at the hip area in battroid mode for the YF/VF-19. Side-view and rear-view don't match up at all. A bit OT rant: IMHO, all -19 toys/models should be done to match the rear-view, it works much better---the only thing I've ever seen done like that is SHE's VF-19S kit--it's the only way to make an F/S look right, though I believe that is how ALL -19's transform the hips/upper intakes, not just the F/S---it's just that the YF-19/A can get away without doing it and still look "OK"---but if done like SHE's F/S it'll look better in both modes. PS--of course, since the "Lego designs rendered in CG" era of Macross (Zero, Frontier) the 3 modes are much better at translating to 3D without "adjusting" things. Though the Sv-51 has the most "magic" of the group, it still works pretty well, ignoring arm proportions. The VF-0 and VF-25 do amazingly well, even compared to the "works fairly well in 3D" VF-1.
