Gubaba knows the story better than I do because all I know is Stratos 4. However, he was able to explain the "Japanese staffers liked the new dialog better" rumor as just being some Tatsunoko staff saying the Robotech team did a good job. Other things like the Animag interview, the closeness of the dialog and story despite the snarky edits, and other stuff are more proof that there's a lot of spin in that interview. Gubaba-senpai knows first hand how Uncle Carl's own story about Robotech kept changing over the years.

That whole snippet is so full of lies and sounds like he figured no one would watch both versions together. Stop peddling ignorance, Robotech.

You do realize the little words are just as easy to read as the big words right? I think it's fairly obvious that Battletech is just as old, toxic, and outdated as Robotech. Really anything with tech in the title other than Tech and Talk ain't too hot these days.

I think you should leave your Robotech fandom on the coat rack.

Gifs like the fan's section.

I think that would be cooler than another Flashback 2012 VF-4G. Do the VF-X one plz.

Origin stories are for comic book movies.

Maybe that Dakedo Baby video was meant to be like the Macross 7 ED sequence

so like Btech right

No you see it's like how Robotech fans said Warner Brothers would just buy Macross from Big West so they could make the LAM (land airmech). Or threaten them somehow. Like oh no, Warner Brothers will without Dark Knight Rising from Japan if they don't get Macross ;-;

You want som gifs? Cuz I can make some gifs.

I'm not sure how they'd behave in the polished plastic but I can enable it as an option. You may have to use some friction enhancing coating.

I failed you, senator ;-; You know despite all the terrible scenes of VF-11s blowing up, I think Macross 7 has more Plus style actions scenes than Plus itself does maybe they could just cut out those scenes and somehow make Ashi Pro (or Reed or whatever they are now) start drawing like they used to ( ^3^)

You could probably just get an emulator that would do exactly that :3

Have the mechanics of fold travel ever really mattered in the past shows? I always found it was just the excuse to give Macross its own version of the ubiquitous faster-than-light travel. A fold generally takes however long it needs to for the scene. Even when Misa and Hikaru talk about folds, the real reason for the scene is to have them argue like a tsundere couple. There's not a finite amount of nerd energy in the universe so long as we have anima spiritia. That's a rather generous way of looking at it. Isn't that exactly the same as people complaining about the changes to the fold effect or how something was described in a source book varies from place to place? Hey! Gubaba's name is not on that podcast! He just provided his boyish charms and Ziggy Stardust like looks. And you're talking about our Stratos 4 show. And I really do not see a huge shift in how the Zentradi are portrayed in the later shows than the original. They still scream DECULTURE and go moe for idol singers. Maybe some of them lost their fabulous 80's saucy frocks, but they still the same on the inside. Don't judge a giant alien bred for war by the color of his skin :3

this thread is for straight males only

So how do you explain how Plus the OVA and Plus the movie change things? Can you really ignore that? Can you ignore how Frontier the TV series, the two movies, the novels, and the manga are different? All these things are working their way into the fandom discussion and they aren't going away. People are smart. They can figure it out and if they are confused, we can talk about it on this forum thing we have that Shawn pays for. The only two proper Macrosses that didn't get remade are 7 and Zero. One is the only full year Macross series and the other is an OVA that was made to be an OVA unlike Plus which was envisioned as a movie. Granted it's a little weird having the original Macross remade in animation a third (or fourth with the pachinko game) but how does that take away from what was already made? We can deal with Robotech ruining our lives forever, so how can a remake do that any worse? Focusing on the negative isn't how you achieve L O V E HAPPY MINMAY

My Queadluun-Rau does not bring mallets. It brings U-Teneritas

That might be a factory error. They could be producing the 5 mm hinges by mistake. According to shapeways plastic they make has a 0.1 mm degree of accuracy.

Oh yeah I geso. It's just easier to not pay for comics than toys :3

Oh you French guys and your Goldorak Ok just to clarify, you did indeed buy a bunch of the 5 mm single hinges in addition to several of the 4 mm two hinge sets correct? Because that's why some are fatter. They were designed that way.

Toys are difficult to scan into your computer and then view on your iPad I'm just saiyan~

I think the real telling thing about how the variations of past events affect the later series is how characters within the shows talk about them. Alto and friends taking part in the production of a movie about Shin Kudo's story was nothing special to them outside of being exciting because they're gonna get their names in the credits :3

They're not going to erase our delicious blu rays of SDF Macross if they did a remake ya know. Kawmaori is not the George Lucas of anime That's Ryosuke Takahashi :3 And worrying about retcons in Macross (or any series, especially a Japanese one) is so adorable.
