i was a huge fan of all versions of sf2, sfa and sf3 but i must admit i am skeptical. i used to love 2d fighters and played them for over a decade but i seriously wonder if there is any innovation left in the genre. and as others have mentioned, there has been a lot of turnover at capcom since those days. shin, the artist you are referring to i believe is nishimura kinu. her, akiman, and bengus were my favorite artists.

1. qc improvements and better testing. i along with several others here have completely given up on buying 1st releases despite being rabid fans of their toys. that should be an alarming sign to them. qc complaints by japanese customers are also pretty common online. 2. M7 license. i still don't understand why they won't consider a VF-17. 3. SDF-1!!!! r they still considering building it? 4. if you can inquire about the status of a dobber scheme sv-51 that would be great as well.

Yeah I wasn't worried, esp because the CAD in fighter looked great. It just looked so obviously distorted compared to the fighter CAD so i thought I'd mention it.

the CAD for battroid mode is looking good but the center torso doesn't look accurate at all. compare the nose on the front view battroid pic with the nose in the top view CAD of fighter mode. the nose looks waaay fat and stubby. i'm convinced the toy is gonna look way better in the flesh than the CAD. the CAD of the nose in battroid mode just looks waaay too inaccurate compared to the CAD of the fighter mode. it looks like they printed the drawing wrong or something.

for the vf-0, i definitely think real world tomcat colors work best. i guess yamato wouldn't be interested in a sundowners scheme? how about VF-1 wolfpack? i really like the hi viz scheme here. VF-74 Be-Devilers has a cool camo scheme. and there's the blue camo NSAWC scheme the "black bunny" evaluator schemes would be cool. how bout a cannon fodder vf-0a as seen in the show?

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE THEY REALLY MAKE A DOBBER TYPE!!!!!!

be happy with the 1/60

in the pic there appears to be a front view CAD drawing of the battroid mode, just to the left of the side view. anyone find any better pics showing the front view of the battroid on the net?

O.O besides sv-51 nora, what could it possibly be!!?????

how does the battroid look!!!!!????

YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHGGGGRRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUST....WAIT....FOR.......2ND....RELEASE.........

uh oh, not yamatogate again..

disappointing..

sorry i just never saw Misa being cold, driven, and emotionally detached. you make her sound like rei. lol

be careful what u wish for dude, it is a teenage school drama after all. kawamori might just grant that wish!!! lol i can see it now, the VF cheerleading squad rooting for their high school football team.. edit: Basara is like Misa!!??? lol on that one

did anyone translate the text? there are some very encouraging indicators: Kawamori says the reason he didn't do a new TV series for such a long time was because the technology was not there to do a TV series that fans who watched the OVA series' could appreciate. Time and budget are much larger factors in TV making it harder to produce the same level of quality in TV series. However, after doing Aquarion, Kawamori now sees the ability to produce a TV series with production values that could be comparable enough to OVAs that fans of the OVAs wouldn't be disappointed by it. He feels that after 25 years from the 1st series, he will finally be able to make the kind of TV series that he's always wanted to see. He also adds that he likes "prototypes," therefore he wanted to work with an up and coming singer that could mature with the production of the show rather than working with someone who is already completely matured as a professional singer (sounds like a high risk high reward type deal). Then of course there's the discouraging indicator as well, the one we've all already heard about, how he wants to always do something new with each production, even if it's a sequel, and how this one is gonna be about teenage students in their golden years, and how he wants teenagers to view this series above all. Well, hell, everyone's been saying it's too early to tell how it's gonna be so I'm gonna stay optimistic. I may be too old to fit the demographic but who knows I might still like it. ^^;

I knew this show would be garbage..

lol

can't believe i was the only one skeptical about this show from the start.

aaaaarrrrgh!!! me waaaants!!!!

too early to judge but that's somewhat of a letdown. kissdum's story sounded really lame from the description, although no one has seen it so no one can judge it. and what if kissdum ends up being so popular in japan that the new macross can't top it? (although all of us macross fans will probably like it more than kissdum) i question the logic of making a similar show before you make the real thing. if unique works like the matrix or eva made a copycat version to test out the production concepts first, then they wouldn't have been so unique in the first place. even if kissdum does well, the audience isn't gonna want the same thing repackaged. hope they prove my expectations wrong.

that sounds interesting indeed!!!!!!

heh!!!! yeah y'all talk all nasty but in the end hardly anyone voted for total pos

to be honest i always thought the nose looked like it was pointing up as well..

please post!! also, someone here's gotta make the green lava lamp that goes on top of isamu's seat!! that's one of the distinguishing features of the yf-19 cockpit!!
